Review Case ReportsArteriovenous malformation associated with a large cyst--case report.
A 37-year-old male presented with an arteriovenous malformation in the left temporal lobe associated with a large cyst. The cyst was drained and the nidus completely excised. The histological findings suggest that repeated subclinical hemorrhages from neovascular channels of the cyst membrane was responsible for the growth of the cyst.

Case ReportsAcute revascularization for bihemispheric anterior cerebral artery thrombosis--case report.
A 65-year-old male presented with rapidly progressive paraparesis and akinetic mutism due to occlusion of the bihemispheric anterior cerebral artery (ACA). He was treated by intra-arterial thrombolytic therapy but reocclusion of the arteriosclerotic lesion occurred. Bilateral superficial temporal artery (STA)-ACA anastomoses achieved lasting neurological improvement. Bilateral STA-ACA anastomoses are quite effective to prevent ischemia of the bilateral ACA territories.
