Efficacy of endovascular treatment for distal anterior cerebral artery aneurysms: A multicenter observational study.
[OBJECTIVES] Distal anterior cerebral artery (DACA) aneurysms account for 1%-9% of all intracranial aneurysms. Microsurgical treatment is generally preferred for DACA aneurysms; however, it presents challenges owing to the anatomical comple…

A Case of Cardiac Arrest Caused by Vasovagal Reflex during Blepharoplasty under Local Anesthesia.
Vasovagal reflex may cause benign self-limiting syncope triggered by factors such as pain and emotional stress. However, rarely, it may cause cardiac arrest requiring urgent resuscitation, which has heretofore not been reported during bleph…

Truncal dystonia with isolated middle cerebral artery ischemia: A case report of revascularization therapy for dystonia.
[BACKGROUND] Dystonia is a rare movement disorder with some cases being difficult to treat. Although dystonia can occur as a symptom of moyamoya disease, few studies have reported truncal dystonia occurring with middle cerebral artery (MCA)…

Differences in causes of stiff knee gait in knee extensor activity or ankle kinematics: A cross-sectional study.
[BACKGROUND] Stiff knee gait (SKG), a common occurrence after the onset of stroke, is caused by hyperactivity of the rectus femoris during the swing phase. Another cause of SKG is the weakness of push-off in hemiparetic gait. Prior research…

Factors Influencing Gait Velocity Improvement Following Botulinum Toxin Injection for Spasticity of the Plantar Flexors in Patients with Stroke.
[OBJECTIVE] In patients with hemiplegia, botulinum toxin type A injection for ankle spasticity of the plantar flexors reportedly improves walking speed. This improvement may be affected by background factors and patient baseline physical pe…

How effective is physical therapy for gait muscle activity in hemiparetic patients who receive botulinum toxin injections?
[BACKGROUND] Administration of botulinum neurotoxin A (BoNT-A) to the ankle plantar flexors in patients with hemiplegia reduces the strength of knee extension, which may decrease their walking ability. Studies have reported improvements in …

Efficacy of levetiracetam in primary hemifacial spasm.
Hemifacial spasm (HFS) is a peripherally-induced movement disorder characterized by the involuntary, unilateral, intermittent, irregular, tonic or clonic contractions of muscles innervated by the ipsilateral facial nerve. Kindling-like hype…
