    Abstract Since its first introduction in clinical practice in 2008, the concept of mobile stroke unit enabling prehospital stroke treatment has rapidly expanded worldwide. This review summarises current knowledge in this young field of stroke research, discussing topics such as benefits in reduction of delay before treatment, vascular imaging-based triage of patients with large-vessel occlusion in the field, differential blood pressure management or prehospital antagonisation of anticoagulants. However, before mobile stroke units can become routine, several questions remain to be answered. Current research, therefore, focuses on safety, long-term medical benefit, best setting and cost-efficiency as crucial determinants for the sustainability of this novel strategy of acute stroke management.

    Abstract Systemic BCGitis and autoimmune diseases are possible adverse events of intravesical Bacille Calmette-Guérin-(BCG)-instillations in the treatment of urothelioma cancer. We present the case of an 83-years-old male patient with rapid progressive symptoms of dementia up to mutism as well as tonic seizures. Immune-mediated cerebral small vessel disease was diagnosed and retraced to former instillations of BCG. Intense immunosuppressive treatment was performed and clinical restoration was achieved within several months. While cerebral vasculitis due to BCGitis has already been described before, this is to our knowledge the first case report to illustrate an immune-mediated small vessel disease after BCG-instillations. This should be considered in patients with rapidly progressive dementia-like symptoms treated with BCG, as an immunosuppressive treatment can be highly effective even at severe clinical stages.

    Abstract Background: The treatment of stroke in children and infants is essential, but unfortunately is not supported by factual and substantiated data.
    Methods: This is a comprehensive review of the currently published data on acute ischemic stroke treatment in children and highlights recent advances and possibilities with mechanical devices in the treatment of stroke in this vulnerable age population.
    Results: The current treatment for most children with acute ischemic stroke is limited to the management of the symptoms. Mechanical recanalization may improve recanalization rates and clinical outcomes.
    Conclusions: Although clinical trials will be difficult to establish in children, continued research and additional experience are imperative to treat this often devastating condition.

    Abstract Cerebral vasospasm is a common and serious complication of aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage. Despite the improvements in treatment of aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH), cerebral vasospasm complicating aSAH has remained the main cause of morbidity and mortality. Subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH)-induced vasospasm is a complex entity caused by vasculopathy, impaired autoregulation, and hypovolaemia, causing a regional reduction of cerebral brain perfusion which can then induce ischaemia. Cerebral vasospasm can present either asymptomatically detected only radiologically or symptomatically (delayed ischaemic neurologic deficit). The various diagnostic approaches include the use of transcranial doppler, digital subtraction angiography and multimodal computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) techniques. Although digital subtraction angiography is usually the gold standard for the diagnosis of cerebral vasospam, transcranial doppler is commonly the first-screening method for the detection of cerebral vasospam. The treatment of subarachnoid haemorrhage -induced vasospasm include the use of both medical and endovascular therapy. The aim of this review is to discuss the various current therapeutic options and future perspective measures for reducing cerebral vasospasm induced stroke after SAH.

    Abstract Introduction: This prospective randomized double-blinded in-vitro study was conducted to determine the relative Packing Density (PD) of the new Deltapaq coil (Micrus Endovascular) as compared to Micrus's conventional filling CHE (Helipaq) and finishing CFS (Ultipaq) coils.
    Methods: Two physicians independently deployed the coils under fluoroscopy into a 4mm berry shaped glass aneurysm. Each coil tested was a 4mm x 35cm coil specially made for this study. Physicians and observer were blinded as to the type of coil. Five samples per group, per operator, were deployed.
    Results: mean PD were 36.6% (Helipaq), 37.9% (Ultipaq) and 40.4% (Deltapaq). Two-sample T-test showed a significantly higher PD of Deltapaq versus Helipaq (p < 0.022).
    Discussion: Higher coil PD and better neck coverage may provide an increased biomechanical stability and may potentially reduce the recanalization rate of aneurysms.
    Conclusion: The new Deltapaq coil may have the potential to achieve higher packing densities in the treatment of aneurysms.

    Abstract Background: An ambulance equipped with a computed tomography (CT) scanner, a point-of-care laboratory, and telemedicine capabilities (mobile stroke unit [MSU]) has been shown to enable the delivery of thrombolysis to stroke patients directly at the emergency site, thereby significantly decreasing time to treatment. However, work-up in an MSU that includes CT angiography (CTA) may also potentially facilitate triage of patients directly to the appropriate target hospital and specialized treatment, according to their individual vascular pathology.
    Methods: Our institution manages a program investigating the prehospital management of patients with suspicion of acute stroke. Here, we report a range of scenarios in which prehospital CTA could be relevant in triaging patients to the appropriate target hospital and to the individually required treatment.
    Results: Prehospital CTA by use of an MSU allowed to detect large vessel occlusion of the middle cerebral artery in one patient with ischemic stroke and occlusion of the basilar artery in another, thereby allowing rational triage to comprehensive stroke centers for immediate intra-arterial treatment. In complementary cases, prehospital imaging not only allowed diagnosis of parenchymal hemorrhage with a spot sign indicating ongoing bleeding in one patient and of subarachnoid hemorrhage in another but also clarified the underlying vascular pathology, which was relevant for subsequent triage decisions.
    Conclusion: Defining the vascular pathology by CTA directly at the emergency site may be beneficial in triaging patients with various cerebrovascular diseases to the most appropriate target hospital and specialized treatment.
