✓ A case of cortical blindness after cerebral angiography is presented. Serial computerized tomography scans of the brain revealed persistence of contrast medium in occipital visual areas as well as areas that may have been associated with “focal seizures” that occurred after angiography. This case supports the concept that cortical blindness may be secondary to the direct effect of contrast medium on the brain. The persistence of contrast material was in part due to decreased renal function.

✓ Angiography during the operative procedure is desirable, but is often difficult because of the problem of maintaining a needle or cannula in an artery for long periods of time. Cannulation of the superficial temporal artery avoids this technical problem. The artery is easily found, cannulation is simple, and obliteration of the artery is of no consequence. Cerebral angiography then provides a means for prompt evaluation of the surgical procedure at any time during the actual operation.

✓ A retrospective analysis of 1171 consecutive percutaneous retrograde brachial and carotid cerebral angiograms was performed on 635 patients, 50.7% of whom were in the sixth decade or older. Symptoms and signs of cerebrovascular disease were the most frequently investigated and diagnosed, accounting for 46.7% of all the angiograms. Despite this relatively high-risk population, we have found direct percutaneous cerebral angiography to have a very low risk. The pros and cons of direct percutaneous versus transfemoral cerebral angiography are discussed. The literature of the previous 10 years is reviewed, and the complication rate of these two techniques is compared.

✓ A middle-aged woman, with a previous history of medically suppressed absence attacks, presented with mild changes in mental status and a skull film demonstrating several areas of mottled, granular, intracranial calcifications. These lesions, although readily visible on computerized tomography, appeared avascular during the course of cerebral angiography. At the time of surgery the masses, which were densely calcified and generally circular, demonstrated numerous areas of superficial, white, verrucous excrescences. Microscopic, pathological evaluation confirmed the diagnosis of hemangioma calcificans. The literature describing this rare entity is briefly reviewed.

Radiographic Contrast

Emerging syntheses and findings of new metallic nanoparticles (MNPs) have become an important aspect in various fields including diagnostic imaging. To date, iodine has been utilized as a radiographic contrast medium. However, the raise concern of iodine threats on iodine-intolerance patient has led to search of new contrast media with lower toxic level. In this animal modeling study, 14 nm iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) with silane-polyethylene glycol (SiPEG) and perchloric acid have been assessed for toxicity level as compared to conventional iodine. The nanotoxicity of IONPs was evaluated in liver biochemistry, reactive oxygen species production (ROS), lipid peroxidation mechanism, and ultrastructural evaluation using transmission electron microscope (TEM). The hematological analysis and liver function test (LFT) revealed that most of the liver enzymes were significantly higher in iodine-administered group as compared to those in normal and IONPs groupsP<0.05. ROS production assay and lipid peroxidation indicator, malondialdehyde (MDA), also showed significant reductions in comparison with iodine groupP<0.05. TEM evaluation yielded the aberration of nucleus structure of iodine-administered group as compared to those in control and IONPs groups. This study has demonstrated the less toxic properties of IONPs and it may postulate that IONPs are safe to be applied as radiographic contrast medium.

✓ Eighteen patients with chronic subdural hematomas were studied by both brain scans and echoencephalography. All cases were verified by cerebral angiography. Brain scanning was accurate in predicting hematomas in 93% of the cases, and echoencephalography in 44%. When hematomas were bilateral or when frontal clots caused no shift in the diencephalic midline, the routine echoencephalogram often was negative. The two procedures are complementary, and serial studies may be helpful in the study of changing clinical situations.

Relaxation times Tl of normal and abnormal urine samples were measured with a 0.02 tesla MRI device in a spectrometric mode. Protein containing urine from patients with glomerulonephritis showed a slight shortening of Tl relaxation time. Radiographic contrast medium, pH, osmolality or glucose in diabetes did not significantly change the Tl relaxation time of urine. Urine can be used as a T1 relaxation reference in MR imaging of the pelvis even if the patient has received radiographic contrast medium or has diabetes or proteinuria for any reason.

Object. The aim of this study was to determine the usefulness of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging—documented extravasation as an indicator of continued hemorrhage in patients with acute hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Methods. The authors studied 108 patients with acute hyperintensive ICH. Imaging modalities included noncontrast-enhanced computerized tomography (CT) scanning, gadolinium-enhanced MR imaging, and conventional cerebral angiography obtained within 6 hours after the onset of hemorrhage. A repeated CT scan was obtained within 48 hours to evaluate enlargement of the hematoma. Findings on MR imaging indicating extravasation, including any high-intensity signals on T1-weighted postcontrast images, were observed in 39 patients, and 17 of these also showed evidence of extravasation on cerebral angiography. The presence of extravasation on MR imaging was closely correlated with evidence of hematoma enlargement on follow-up CT scans (p < 0.001). Conclusions. Evidence of extravasation documented on MR imaging indicates persistent hemorrhage and correlates with enlargement of the hematoma.
