    Abstract The highest viral load for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is found in the lungs, nasopharynx, and oropharynx. Thus, working in close proximity to the face likely represents the greatest risk of SARS-CoV-2 exposure for neurosurgeons, many of whom have contracted and/or died from COVID-19. However, sources of exposure other than the respiratory tract should also be considered. SARS-CoV-2 viremia has been reported. SARS-CoV (which is closely related to SARS-CoV-2) can invade the brain. SARS-CoV-2 ribonucleic acid has been detected in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of COVID-19 patients with altered mental status, intracranial hypertension, and/or brain imaging abnormalities, raising the possibility of SARS-CoV-2 meningitis or encephalitis. Thus, blood, brain, and CSF should be treated as potentially infectious until proven otherwise.

    Abstract Objective: To analyze a consecutive series of patients with middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysms who needed an adjunctive cerebral revascularization procedure to achieve aneurysm occlusion with preservation of flow through all MCA branches.
    Methods: A total of 42 patients with 43 MCA aneurysms underwent 52 bypass procedures over 13 years. The location of the aneurysm were M1 trunk, M1 bifurcation, M2 and beyond. The bypasses performed included intracranial bypasses (resection with end to end anastomosis, end to side implantation, side to side anastomosis, and short interposition graft), extraintracranial bypasses (superficial temporal to middle cerebral artery anastomosis, and radial artery bypass graft, or saphenous vein graft), double bypasses, Y-grafts, and combined techniques.
    Results: Forty-two of 43 aneurysms (98%) had patent bypasses at long-term follow-up. All 43 aneurysms were completely occluded at last follow-up. Six patients (14%) developed strokes related to the surgical treatment. At last follow-up, 36 patients had a modified Rankin score of 0-2, 5 patients had modified Rankin score 3-5, and 1 died. In this series, 31 (73.8%) patients improved, 8 (19%) patients had same functional status, and 3 (7.2%) patients deteriorated, including 1 patient who expired due to sepsis. The mean clinical follow-up duration was 39.3 months (0.4-124 months) and the mean radiological follow-up was 37 months (0.4-134 months).
    Conclusions: Cerebral revascularization is an important adjunct for treating MCA aneurysms and can be done safely. The article provides the insights we gained by rising through the learning curve.

    Abstract Headaches from vascular causes need to be differentiated from primary headaches because a misdiagnosis may lead to dire consequences for the patient. Neuroimaging is critical in identifying patients with vascular headaches and identifying the nature of the pathologic disorder causing these headaches. In addition, the imaging findings guide the physician regarding the optimal treatment modality for these lesions. This review summarizes the nuances of differentiating patients with secondary headaches related to vascular disease and discusses pertinent neuroimaging studies.

    Abstract Background: Dolichoectatic vertebrobasilar fusiform aneurysms (DVBFAs) have poor natural history when left untreated and high morbimortality when treated with microsurgery. Flow diversion (FD) with dual-antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is feasible but carries high risk of perforator occlusion and progression of brainstem compression. Elaborate antithrombotic strategies are needed to preserve perforator patency while vessel remodeling occurs. We compared triple therapy (TT (DAPT plus oral anticoagulation)) and DAPT alone in patients with DVBFAs treated with FD.
    Methods: Retrospective comparison of DAPT and TT in patients with DVBFAs treated with FD at eight US centers.
    Results: The groups (DAPT=13, TT=14) were similar in age, sex, clinical presentation, baseline disability, and aneurysm characteristics. Radial access use was significantly higher in the TT group (71.4% vs 15.3%; P=0.006). Median number of flow diverters and adjunctive coiling use were non-different between groups. Acute ischemic stroke rate during the oral anticoagulation period was lower in the TT group than the DAPT group (7.1% vs 30.8%; P=0.167). Modified Rankin Scale score decline was significantly lower in the TT group (7.1% vs 69.2%; P=0.001). Overall rates of hemorrhagic complications (TT, 28.6% vs DAPT, 7.7%; P=0.162) and complete occlusion (TT, 25% vs DAPT, 54.4%; P=0.213) were non-different between the groups. Rate of moderate-to-severe disability at last follow-up was significantly lower in the TT group (21.4% vs 76.9%; P=0.007).
    Conclusions: Patients with DVBFAs treated with FD in the TT group had fewer ischemic strokes, less symptom progression, and overall better outcomes at last follow-up than similar patients in the DAPT group.
