“…This artery has a diameter of 0.7 - 1.8 mm [32]; using the formula for the area of a circle, we find that its cross-sectional area is 0.38 mm 2 to 2.54 mm 2 . Summing the areas, we obtain 5.55 to 6.97 mm 2 .…”

Cranial nerve foramina are integral exits from the confines of the skull. Despite their significance in cranial nerve pathologies, there has been no comprehensive anatomical review of these structures. Owing to the extensive nature of this topic, Part I of our review, presented here, focuses on the foramina of the anterior and middle cranial fossae, discussing each foramen’s shape, orientation, size, surrounding structures, and structures that traverse them. Furthermore, by comparing the size of each foramen against the cross-sectional areas of its contents, we estimate the amount of free space in each. We also review lesions that can obstruct the foramina and discuss their clinical consequences.

“…However, to our knowledge, jailing (covering) this vessel with the PED has not been reported to cause infarction. Although technically a lenticulostriate vessel, the RAH is notably larger than the medial lenticulostriate vessels and, with a diameter of ∼ 1 mm, it approximates to that of the ophthalmic artery (0.7-1.8 mm) and anterior choroidal artery ( ∼ 0.94 mm), vessels that can be safely jailed when the PED is used according to its FDA approval in the distal ICA [22,[24][25][26][27] . With regards to the ACOM artery itself, in normal physiologic conditions with equal bilateral A1 flow rates, net flow across the ACOM artery is absent.…”

Anterior Communicating Artery Aneurysm Treatment with the Pipeline Embolization Device: A Single-Center Experience with Long-Term Follow-Up

et al. 2017

Introduction: The pipeline embolization device (PED) is increasingly used in the endovascular management of cerebral aneurysms. Longitudinal data regarding safety and benefit of the PED in anterior communicating (ACOM) artery aneurysms are limited and particularly lacking in residual ACOM artery aneurysms. We report the use of the PED in 3 patients with ACOM artery aneurysms who were previously coiled. Methods: Three patients with ACOM artery aneurysms, all previously treated with coiling and with recurrence of the aneurysm neck, were treated with the PED. All obtained follow-up diagnostic cerebral angiograms at either 3 or 6 months. Results: Mean age of patients was 59 years. All patients received cerebral angiograms at a minimum of 3 months after treatment with the PED. Follow-up angiography was performed up to a mean of 10 months at which time point all cases demonstrated complete aneurysm occlusion, without any stenosis in the parent artery. Conclusion: The PED can be safely used for the treatment of ACOM artery aneurysms. Complete aneurysm obliteration can be achieved in cases refractory to endovascular coiling. These findings warrant replication in a larger data set.

Multimodal imaging of central retinal artery occlusion with retained cilioretinal perfusion

A man aged 59 years old presented with sudden, painless, monocular visual loss due to central retinal artery occlusion. Central vision was retained and peripheral vision lost due to retained cilioretinal perfusion. Increased inner retinal thickening and reflectivity followed by subsequent reduction was documented by sequential imaging. This is the first report of such events monitored with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography where central visual acuity was maintained.
