The present study was designed to map alterations in brain white-matter in photosensitive epilepsy (PSE) by applying tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS) analysis. ⋯ Our DTI study indicates that white-matter in the corpus callosum was abnormal in PSE patients, and that DTI methods can serve as useful non-invasive tools to evaluate white-matter changes in PSE patients.

Analysing the clinical and angiographical effectiveness of the Solitaire FR as a mechanical thrombectomy device in acute intracerebral occlusion. ⋯ These results confirm that the Solitaire FR device is safe and effective in stand-alone thrombectomy.

Developments in endovascular treatment have opened new promising prospects for treating acute ischemic stroke. In France, EVT is increasingly used, especially when intravenous thrombolysis is contraindicated or has failed. However, it has not been documented how neurointerventional centers are organized practically for the treatment of AIS. The present survey aims to address this. ⋯ This survey shows that French neuroradiology departments have made important efforts to implement EVT of AIS with a high quality of care for the patients; the majority of the centers used MRI to evaluate the disease and anesthesiologists are involved in order to optimize medical care during EVT.

Acute thromboembolic periprocedural events during endovascular intracranial aneurysm treatment are mostly treated with intravenous or intra-arterial pharmacological thrombolysis. The present report describes a case of mechanical thrombectomy as a rescue treatment that may be an acceptable alternative to the current strategies. The feasibility and safety of stent retrievers in such a clinical indication are also discussed.
