    Cerebral vasculitis and obsessive-compulsive disorder following varicella infection in childhood
    (2009) Yaramiş A.; Hergüner S.; Kara B.; Tatli B.; Tüzün Ü.; Özmen M.
    Varicella is largely a childhood disease, with more than 90% of cases occurring in children younger than 10 years. The primary infection is characterized by generalized vesicular dermal exanthemas, which are extremely contagious. Secondary bacterial infection and varicella pneumonia, usually seen in the immunocompromised or adult populations, may have high morbidity and mortality. Varicella in childhood is a generally benign and self-limited disorder; however, severe, life-threatening neurological complications may occur. We report a previously healthy eight-year-old boy who presented with acute hemiplegia and obsessive-compulsive disorder secondary to a lesion in lentiform nuclei associated with a history of recent varicella infection. The child was treated with sertraline for obsessive-compulsive disorder symptoms and made a full recovery.

    Regression of neointimal hyperplasia of an intracranial stent: 6 years follow-up of a wide-necked aneurysm
    (Turkish Neurosurgical Society, 2010) Bayrak A.H.; Kocer N.; Islak C.; Albayram S.; Kizilkilic O.; Kara B.
    We present a case of wide-necked giant aneurysm located at the P1-P2 segment of the posterior cerebral artery. The initial goal for treatment of the aneurysm was hemodynamic flow redirection with subsequent thrombosis so the procedure and involved stent placement to the neck of the aneurysm without any filling material. During follow up, significant in-stent stenosis due to intimal hyperplasia was found at the 6th month on digital subtraction angiography. Regression of in-stent neointimal stenosis at the 18th month and a total disappearance at the 76th month were observed on follow-up angiograms. Illustrating the reversibility of neointimal hyperplasia during a long follow up period was the main goal of this case report.
