Review Meta Analysis
Intracranial pressure monitoring in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage: a systematic review with meta-analysis.
To describe the potential effects of Intracranial pressure monitoring on the outcome of patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). ⋯ Elevated ICP is associated with increased mortality and poor prognosis in ICH patients. Although continuous intracranial pressure monitoring may reduce short-term mortality rates in specific subgroups of ICH patients, it does not improve neurological functional outcomes. While potential patient populations may benefit from ICP monitoring, more research is needed to screen suitable populations for ICP monitoring.

Review Case Reports
Angiographic and clinical outcomes of various techniques of intracranial-to-intracranial bypasses for complex cases with a review of pertinent literature and illustrated cases.
We sought to determine the utility of intracranial-to-intracranial bypass (IIB) surgery and the available bypass options for complex cases. ⋯ With proper selection of the IIB type, IIB can be a suitable treatment option for some patients with complex IAs and intracranial arterial steno-occlusive disease when extracranial-to-intracranial bypass is not feasible.
