“The SNIS is a pinnacle of working together. Coming from our unique backgrounds in neurology, neurosurgery and radiology, we create a synergy. The whole is greater than the sum of the parts.” Wise words from @johannatfifi in her President's Address!
Minimally invasive surgical evacuation (MISE) for intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) has long been debated. The ENRICH trial has provided strong evidence supporting its efficacy in lobar ICH, leading to improved outcomes. This editorial discusses the challenges and future directions…
1/My hardest thread yet! Are you up for the challenge? How stroke perfusion imaging works! Ever wonder why it’s Tmax & not Tmin? Do you not question & let RAPID read the perfusion for you? Not anymore!
New multicenter data compares transverse venous sinus (TVS) stenting vs. CSF shunting for idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). TVS stenting shows lower treatment failure, fewer residual symptoms (except tinnitus), and less healthcare use. Tailoring treatment to symptoms is…
It was a busy Day 3 of #SNIS2025! From the Grant Hieshima Lecture to the late-breaking abstracts and WIN Committee's Drinks & Discussion, there was no shortage of energy and innovation. Check out the highlights!
