    Ischemia-induced postoperative scalp necrosis in the superficial temporal artery (STA) region is known to occur after STA-middle cerebral artery anastomoses. However, no reports have evaluated the risk of postoperative scalp necrosis in the occipital artery (OA) region. This study examined the surgical procedures that pose a risk for postoperative scalp necrosis in the OA region following posterior cranial fossa surgery. Patients who underwent initial posterior fossa craniotomy at our institution from 2015 to 2022 were included. Clinical information was collected using medical records. Regarding surgical procedures, we evaluated the incision design and whether a supramuscular scalp flap was prepared. The supramuscular scalp flap was defined as a scalp flap dissected from the sternocleidomastoid and/or splenius capitis muscles. A total of 392 patients were included. Postoperative scalp necrosis occurred in 19 patients (4.8%). There were 296 patients with supramuscular scalp flaps, and supramuscular scalp flaps prepared in all 19 patients with postoperative necrosis. Comparing incision designs among patients with supramuscular scalp flap, a hockey stick-shaped scalp incision caused postoperative necrosis in 14 of 73 patients (19.1%), and the odds of postoperative scalp necrosis were higher with the hockey stick shape than with the retro-auricular C shape (adjusted odds ratio: 12.2, 95% confidence interval: 3.86-38.3, p = 0.00002). In all the cases, ischemia was considered to be the cause of postoperative necrosis. The incidence of postoperative necrosis is particularly high when a hockey stick-shaped scalp incision is combined with a supramuscular scalp flap.

    Objective  Plaque induction through intimal injury using a balloon catheter in small animals and by artificial ligation of the carotid artery in large animals have been reported. However, these reports have not yet succeeded in inducing stable plaques nor creating a high degree of intimal thickening to be used as animal models. We have previously developed a plaque induction model in rats but have failed to obtain a plaque incidence frequency that can be used as a model. Thus, in the current study, we aimed to create a versatile disease model to examine the pharmacokinetics of drug administration, determine the efficacy of treatment, and examine the process of intimal thickening. We also attempted to create an improved model with shorter, more frequent, and more severe intimal thickening. Materials and Methods  The common carotid artery of male Wistar rats was surgically exposed and completely ligated with a wire and 6-0 nylon thread. Then, the wire was removed to create a partial ligation. To create a high frequency and high degree of intimal thickening, 72 rats were divided into two groups: a single lesion group with a 0.25-mm wire and a single ligature point, and a tandem lesion group with a 0.3-mm wire and two ligature points. Each group was further divided into normal diet and high cholesterol diet groups. The presence and frequency of intimal thickening were examined for each group after 4, 8, and 16 weeks of growth. Results  In the single lesion group, intimal thickening was observed in 42% of the 4-week group and 75% of the 8-week group. In the tandem lesion group, intimal thickening was observed in 75% of the 4-week group and 50% of the 8-week group. In addition, 50% of the individuals reared for 16 weeks developed intimal thickening. Conclusion  We successfully induced intimal thickening in the carotid arteries of rats with high frequency in the single lesion and tandem lesion groups. The results also showed that the tandem lesion group tended to induce intimal thickening earlier than the single lesion group.

    Primary optic nerve sheath meningioma (pONSM) is one of the most challenging tumors to manage. Although surgical excision may be considered a treatment option to maintain visual function, the safety of surgery remains debatable due to the non-negligible risk of optic nerve injury. pONSM often grows concentrically around the optic nerve; however, it can also demonstrate an exophytic growth from the optic nerve. The risk of surgical excision of pONSM may vary based on the tumor's growth pattern and area of contact with the optic nerve; however, there has been no detailed report on risk stratification to date. The authors present an illustrative case of an exophytic pONSM which was removed surgically without complications, suggesting that tumor morphology may also influence the surgical risk. In this report, the imaging and intraoperative features of exophytic pONSM are presented in detail, and the risk factors for complications are discussed.

    BACKGROUND: The Uncal vein (UV), downstream of the deep middle cerebral vein (DMCV), has a similar drainage pattern to the superficial middle cerebral vein (SMCV) and may be involved in venous complications during the anterior transpetrosal approach (ATPA). However, in petroclival meningioma (PCM), where the ATPA is frequently used, there are no reports evaluating drainage patterns of the UV and the risk of venous complications associated with the UV during the ATPA. METHODS: Forty-three patients with petroclival meningioma (PCM) and 20 with unruptured intracranial aneurysm (control group) were included. Preoperative digital subtraction angiography was used to evaluate UV and DMCV drainage patterns on the side of the tumor and bilaterally in patients with PCM and the control group, respectively. RESULTS: In the control group, the DMCV drained to the UV, UV and BVR, and BVR in 24 (60.0%), eight (20.0%), and eight (20.0%) hemispheres, respectively. Conversely, the DMCV in the patients with PCM drained to the UV, UV and BVR, and BVR in 12 (27.9%), 19 (44.2%), and 12 (27.9%) patients, respectively. The DMCV was more likely to be drained to the BVR in the PCM group (p < 0.01). In three patients with PCM (7.0%), the DMCV drained only to the UV, and furthermore, the UV drained to the pterygoid plexus via the foramen ovale, posing a risk for venous complications during the ATPA. CONCLUSIONS: In the patients with PCM, the BVR functioned as a collateral venous pathway of the UV. Preoperative evaluation of the UV drainage patterns is recommended to reduce venous complications during the ATPA.

    OBJECTIVE: Although a qualitative diagnosis of plaque causing carotid stenosis has been attempted with carotid computed tomography angiography (CaCTA), no clear findings have been reported. We examined the correlation between the plaque CT values and plaque images obtained by magnetic resonance imaging to derive a qualitative diagnosis of the plaque using CaCTA. METHODS: Preoperative CaCTA images acquired from patients stented for carotid stenosis were retrospectively analyzed with respect to magnetization-prepared rapid acquisition with gradient echo and time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiography data. Carotid plaques in the stenosed region were quantified in terms of CT density and the plaque/muscle ratio (magnetization-prepared rapid acquisition with gradient echo), and correlations between these 2 features were determined. Plaques were classified as stable or unstable based on the plaque/muscle ratio, with the smallest plaque/muscle ratio observed among plaques positive for intraplaque hemorrhage set as the cutoff value (1.76). RESULTS: A total of 165 patients (179 plaques) were included. Perioperative complications included minor stroke (n = 3), major stroke (n = 1, fatal), and hyperperfusion (n = 2). The correlation between CT density and the plaque/muscle ratio was nonlinear (P = 0.0139) and negative (P < 0.0001). The cutoff point (1.76) corresponded to a CT density of 83 HU, supporting this value as a standard reference for plaque stability. CONCLUSIONS: Computed tomography density exhibits a nonlinear (P = 0.0139) and highly negative correlation (P < 0.0001) with the plaque/muscle ratio. Our results demonstrate that plaque characteristics can be meaningfully diagnosed based on CaCTA image data.
