Abstract

Treatment of VLGUIA remains a challenge. To reduce mass effect and achieve complete occlusion, open surgery has been our favored treatment. However, endovascular therapy is preferred for lesions in the cavernous sinus or for older patients with complicating medical problems. The goal of this study is to investigate outcome of stent and/or coil treatment of VLGUIA. Beginning in 2002, the neuroform stent has been available to the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. Since then until 2006, 15 patients were treated for VLGUIA with stenting and/or coiling at this institution. These 15 patients were used for a retrospective analysis in this study. Median patient age was 65 years, median aneurysm size was 27 mm (20-37 mm), and median follow-up time was 22 months. Eight aneurysms were localized in the cavernous sinus and 7 at the ophthalmic segment of the internal carotid artery. Four aneurysms were completely occluded (100%); 3 aneurysms, nearly complete (90%-99%); and 8 aneurysms, partial (<90% occlusion). Twelve patients required retreatment. Final GOS was 1 (good recovery) in 11 patients, 2 (moderate disability) in 3 patients, and 3 (severely disabled) in 1 patient. No patient died or deteriorated. Stent/coil ...Continue Reading

Cajal Bodies & Gems

Cajal bodies or coiled bodies are dense foci of coilin protein. Gemini of Cajal bodies, or gems, are microscopically similar to Cajal bodies. It is believed that Cajal bodies play important roles in RNA processing while gems assist the Cajal bodies. Find the latest research on Cajal bodies and gems here.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.

Aneurysm

Aneurysms are outward distensions or bulges that occurs in a weakened wall of blood vessels. Discover the latest research on aneurysms here.
