Introduction: The role of increased CBF after endovascular thrombectomy in post-ischemic hyperperfusion has not been studied in detail. We aimed to investigate the timing of CBF increases on PWI after thrombectomy in association with hemorrhagic transformation. Methods: We analyzed prospectively collected data in consecutive patients treated with endovascular thrombectomy. Inclusion criteria were: (1) patients with ICA or M1 occlusion, and (2) PWI and GRE obtained within 12 hours and 12-48 hours after thrombectomy. We compared each rCBF with early hemorrhage (within 12 hours after thrombectomy), late hemorrhage (12-48 hour) and non-hemorrhage in basal ganglia (BG) and MCA cortical or subcortical (CS) region. In each PWI dataset, ROIs were placed in two slice levels of the BG and three slice levels of the CS region. Results: Fifty-three patients met inclusion criteria. Early BG hemorrhages were noted in 13 patients, with 4 late BG hemorrhage, 8 early CS hemorrhage and 3 late CS hemorrhage. There were no significant differences on rCBF in PWI within 12 hours after thrombectomy between early hemorrhage, late hemorrhage and non-hemorrhage groups. In contrast, rCBF on 12-48 hours PWI in the BG region was significantly higher in the early BG hemorrhage than non-BG hemorrhage (lower BG slice 1.36 vs 1.01, p<0.001, upper BG slice 1.33 vs 0.96, p<0.001) and rCBF in CS region were significantly higher in early CS hemorrhage than non-CS hemorrhage (lower CS slice 1.55 vs 0.98, p=0.001, middle CS slice 1.31 vs 0.92, p=0.018). There were no significant differences in rCBF on 12-48 hours PWI between the late hemorrhage and non-hemorrhage group. Conclusions: Most intracerebral hemorrhages after thrombectomy were seen within 12 hours after intervention. A rCBF increase in hemorrhage cases was not seen on PWI within 12 hours after thrombectomy. rCBF increases on PWI 12-48 hours after thrombectomy, however, was associated with post-thrombectomy hemorrhage within 12 hours.

Regional cerebral blood flow (CBF) was studied with O15-water positron emission tomography and anatomic region-of-interest analysis on coregistered magnetic resonance in patients with idiopathic (n = 12) and secondary (n = 5) normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH). Mean CBF was compared with values obtained from healthy volunteers (n = 12) and with clinical parameters. Mean CBF was significantly decreased in the cerebrum and cerebellum of patients with NPH. The regional analysis demonstrated that CBF was reduced in the basal ganglia and the thalamus but not in white matter regions. The results suggest that the role of the basal ganglia and thalamus in NPH may be more prominent than currently appreciated. The implications for theories regarding the pathogenesis of NPH are discussed.

Objects. We investigated the role of the fusiform cortex in music processing with the use of PET, focusing on the perception of sound richness.Method. Musically naïve subjects listened to familiar melodies with three kinds of accompaniments: (i) an accompaniment composed of only three basic chords (chord condition), (ii) a simple accompaniment typically used in traditional music text books in elementary school (simple condition), and (iii) an accompaniment with rich and flowery sounds composed by a professional composer (complex condition). Using a PET subtraction technique, we studied changes in regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) in simple minus chord, complex minus simple, and complex minus chord conditions.Results. The simple minus chord, complex minus simple, and complex minus chord conditions regularly showed increases in rCBF at the posterior portion of the inferior temporal gyrus, including the LOC and fusiform gyrus.Conclusions. We may conclude that certain association cortices such as the LOC and the fusiform cortex may represent centers of multisensory integration, with foreground and background segregation occurring at the LOC level and the recognition of richness and floweriness of stimuli occurring in the fusiform cortex, both in terms of vision and audition.

Cerebral blood flow was measured by the H2 clearance method 30 and 60 min after the implantation of 300, 250, 125, or 50 μm diameter platinum–iridium electrodes 2 mm deep into the right parietal cortex of normothermic, normocarbic halothane-anesthetized rats. Another group of animals had 50 μm electrodes inserted 1 mm. In all animals, the presence or absence of a wave of spreading depression (SD) was noted at the time of implantation, with recordings made with glass micropipettes. H2 flow values were compared with those measured in gray matter from the same anatomical region (but from different rats), using [3H]nicotine. The incidence of SD ranged from 60% following insertion of 300 μm electrodes to 0% with 50 μm electrodes. H2 clearance flows also varied with electrode size, from 77 ± 21 ml 100 g−1 min−1 (mean ± standard deviation) with 300 μm electrodes to 110 ± 31 and 111 ± 16 ml 100 g−1 min−1 with 125 and 50 μm electrodes, respectively (insertion depth of 2 mm). A CBF value of 155 ± 60 ml 100 g−1 min−1 was obtained with 50 μm electrodes inserted only 1 mm. Cortical gray matter blood flow measured with [3H]nicotine was 154 ± 35 ml 100 g−1 min−1. When the role of SD in subsequent flow measurements was examined, there was a gradual increase in CBF between 30 and 60 min after electrode insertion in those animals with SD, while no such change was seen in rats without SD. These results indicate that the choice of electrode size and implantation depth influences the measurement of CBF by H2 clearance. CBF values equivalent to those obtained with isotopic techniques can be acutely obtained with small (50 μm diameter) electrodes inserted 1 mm into the cortex. While the occurrence of SD does influence CBF in the period immediately after implantation, a relationship between electrode size and measured flow is present that is independent of SD.

In Reply.— We appreciate the comments by Dr Battisti et al. As noted in the inclusion criteria for our study,1 all intubated babies with birth weights less than 1,751 g were eligible for the study. One of the advantages of a randomized double-blind study is that babies with other risk factors, including presence of a fluctuating cerebral blood flow pattern on Doppler ultrasound testing, should have equal chances of being in the treated and placebo groups.
