Editor’s Choice Intracranial dolichoectasia of the distal ICA was identified in 20 patients from 2005–2016 through a review of diagnostic cerebral angiography results. Images were reviewed to determine the vascular morphologic dispositions around the distal ICA, including dysplasia, mural calcification,

Fellows’ Journal Club The authors enrolled 53 patients with anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis and performed 2-year follow-up. Brain MRIs were acquired for all patients at the onset phase. The brain MR imaging manifestations were classified into 4 types—type 1: normal MR
Editor’s Choice This was a prospective, multicenter, randomized trial conducted at 12 hospitals throughout China. Enrolled adults with unruptured large/giant intracranial aneurysms were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive either Enterprise stent-assisted coiling or Tubridge flow diverter implantation. The primary end
Nam K-W, Kim CK, Kim TJ, et al. FLAIR vascular hyperintensities predict early ischemic recurrence in TIA. Neurology. 2018;90(9):e738-e744. doi:10.1212/WNL.0000000000005034. The authors set out to answer the question as to whether vascular hyperintensities on FLAIR images were associated with early
William G. Bradley Jr, MD, PhD, FACR (1948–2017) Perhaps more than any other single figure, Bill Bradley (1948–2017) both educated us regarding clinical MRI, and popularized clinical MRI during its early days in setting the field’s trajectory. Bill was a

The Department of Neurosurgery Community Practice Division for Northern Virginia Neurosurgeon with Spine Experience Due to continued growth, the University of Virginia Department of Neurosurgery is creating a Community Practice Division and recruiting a neurosurgeon with spine experience to develop
Fellows’ Journal Club The authors analyzed 1.5T MRI examinations of 100 consecutive patients treated with radiation therapy with or without additional surgery for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. MRI examinations included morphologic sequences and DWI. Histology and follow-up served
Editor’s Choice Ten unruptured aneurysms in 9 patients were studied using a high-resolution 3D gradient-echo sequence with cardiac gating. Semiautomatic segmentation was used to measure aneurysm volume per cardiac phase. Aneurysm pulsation was defined as the relative increase in volume
