    BACKGROUND: The etiological significance of the RAS and PI3K pathways has been reported in systemic embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (ERMS) but not in primary intracranial ERMS (PIERMS). Herein, the authors present a unique case of PIERMS with a BRAF mutation. OBSERVATIONS: A 12-year-old girl with progressive headache and nausea was diagnosed with a tumor in the right parietal lobe. Semi-emergency surgery revealed an intra-axial lesion that was histopathologically identical to an ERMS. Next-generation sequencing indicated a BRAF mutation as a pathogenic variation, but the RAS and PI3K pathways showed no alteration. Although there is no established reference class for PIERMS, the DNA methylation prediction was closest to that of ERMS, indicating the possibility of PIERMS. The final diagnosis was PIERMS. The patient underwent local radiotherapy (50.4 Gy) and multiagent chemotherapy, with no recurrence for 12 months after surgery. LESSONS: This may be the first case demonstrating the molecular features of PIERMS, especially the intra-axial type. The results showed a mutation in BRAF but not in the RAS and PI3K pathways, which is different from the existing ERMS features. This molecular difference may cause differences in DNA methylation profiles. Accumulation of the molecular features of PIERMS is necessary before any conclusions can be drawn.

    Intracranial carotid artery dissection causing cerebral ischemia is a rare but important cause of cerebral infarction in children and adolescents. Although endovascular therapy has been reported to be effective, questions regarding the indications for intervention are yet to be addressed. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate factors related to clinical outcomes through a nationwide survey. Overall, 35 neurosurgical centers reported patients within 2 weeks after ischemic onset due to intracranial carotid artery dissection causing cerebral ischemia treated between January 2015 and December 2020. Data on clinical and radiological findings were statistically analyzed. Twenty-eight patients met the inclusion criteria. The median age was 36 years (range, 7-59 years), without sex differences. Headache at onset was documented in 60.7% of the patients. Dissection findings were categorized into stenosis (71.4%) or occlusion (28.6%). Initial treatments, including various antithrombotic agent combinations in 23 (82.1%) patients, effectively improved or prevented aggravation in half of the patients. The patients with stenotic dissection were significantly more likely to experience aggravation during the initial treatment than did those with occlusive dissection (P = 0.03). In addition, the patients with moderate to severe neurological deficits on admission had poorer outcomes at discharge more frequently than did those with mild neurological deficits on admission. Eight patients undergoing endovascular therapy had no procedural complications or further aggravation after intervention. In conclusion, patients with intracranial carotid dissection causing cerebral ischemia who had a stenotic dissection were at risk of further aggravation, and endovascular therapy effectively improved or prevented aggravation.

  • Complex Intracranial Aneurysms.

    Introduction and explanation (commerce magazine)   Domestic Co-author

    Complex intracranial aneurysms remain challenging to treat using standard microsurgical or endovascular techniques. These aneurysms often require a combination of deconstructive and reconstructive procedures, such as parent artery occlusion, flow alteration, and blind-alley formation with or without bypass surgery, for effective and enduring therapeutic effects. It is important to determine the type of bypass based on the site of occlusion of the patent artery, anatomical features of the distal vessels, and expected adequate blood flow. In this chapter, we describe the "Standards," "Advances," and "Controversies" in the context of a microsurgical treatment strategy for complex intracranial aneurysms. "Standards" include a combination of frequent and commonly used procedures that have been gathering a certain consensus on their effectiveness. "Advances" include infrequent, demanding, and/or uncertain surgical procedures that are currently under debate. Finally, "Controversies" discuss a number of unsolved issues.
