ABSTRACT

OBJETIVE: In Europe, units with Dual-trained Neurovascular Surgeons (DTNS) skilled in both open neurosurgery (ON) and endovascular neurosurgery (EN) are scarce. For instance, in Spain, our unit is unique within the public health system, where all neurovascular procedures are carried out by DTNS. Our study aims to evaluate the evolution in treating ruptured intracranial aneurysms (rICAs) and assess the impact of this evolution on clinical outcomes. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study was performed on rICAs treated in our unit from October 2012 to June 2023. We reviewed clinical and radiological data to analyze the evolution of ON and EN over time, as well as their impact on patient outcomes. Univariate, multivariate, and mixed-effects models were utilized to discern temporal changes. RESULTS: The modified Fisher Scale (mFS) and the modified World Federation of Neurological Surgeons scale (mWFNS) showed strong correlation with the outcome at 6 months outcomes, both with p < 0.00001. However, the surgical intervention method, ON versus EN, did not significantly affect outcomes (p > 0.85). In adjusted multivariate logistic regression, mFS (-1.579, p: 0.011) and mWFNS (-0.872, p < 0.001) maintained their significance. rICAs location was significant when comparing ON to EN p = 0.0001. A significant temporal trend favored the selection of EN p = 0.0058). Mixed-effects time series modeling indicated that while patient characteristics and rICA specifics did not predict treatment choice, the year of treatment was significantly correlated (0.161, p = 0.002). Logistic regression with interaction terms for time and treatment type did not produce significant results. CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that despite an increased adoption of EN techniques, there has been no change in patient outcomes. Even with the rise of EN, our unit continues to perform ON for a higher proportion of rICAs than most national hospitals. We propose that a "dual approach" offers advantages in a patient individualized treatment decision protocol in the European context.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: El riesgo del ser humano de padecer un aneurisma intracraneal se calcula entre 1-2 %, en el 80 % de los casos su forma de presentación es una hemorragia subaracnoidea. Objetivo: Evaluar la utilidad de diferentes maniobras adyuvantes para facilitar la micro disección y el presillamiento del cuello de los aneurismas intracraneales. Metodología: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo con todos los pacientes admitidos en el servicio de neurocirugía del Hospital "Roberto Rodríguez", en Morón, Ciego de Ávila, Cuba, que presentaron un diagnóstico de aneurisma intracraneal y que fueran intervenidos con técnica de microcirugía para su exclusión de la circulación, en el periodo comprendido entre enero de 1997 y diciembre del 2020. Resultados: 201 pacientes fueron intervenidos, 198 (98,51 %) con aneurismas de la circulación anterior y solo 3 (1,49 %), de la circulación posterior. En total fueron abordados 252 sacos, se utilizaron estrategias adyuvantes al procedimiento convencional para facilitar el acto del presillamiento aneurismático como lo fueron el drenaje espinal continuo, la ventriculostomìa al exterior para drenaje de LCR y monitorización continua de la PIC y de la presión de retracción cerebral, cierre temporal de la arteria madre, succión retrograda descompresión en los aneurismas gigantes. El 74,62 % de los casos se recuperaron sin ningún tipo de síntomas o secuelas y la mortalidad fue del 1,49 %. Discusión: La microcirugía resulta un procedimiento eficaz, con elevado nivel de eficiencia, para el tratamiento de los aneurismas intracraneales en nuestro medio. Las estrategias adyuvantes facilitan la relajación del parénquima, la disección y el presillamiento del cuello aneurismático.


Introduction: The human risk of suffering from an intracranial aneurysm is estimated between 1-2%, in 80% of cases its presentation is a subarachnoid hemorrhage. Objectives: To evaluate the usefulness of different adjunctive maneuvers to facilitate micro dissection and clamping of the neck of intracranial aneurysms. Method: We have carried out a descriptive study including all the patients admitted in the neurosurgery department of "Roberto Rodríguez" Hospital in Moron, Ciego de Avila, Cuba with the diagnosis of intracranial aneurysms who were operated on through microsurgical cliping techniques in the period between january 1997 and december 2020. Results: 201 patients were operated on, 198 (98.51%) with aneurysms of the anterior circulation and only 3 (1.49%), of the posterior circulation. A total of 252 sacs were approached, adjuvant strategies to the conventional procedure were used to facilitate the act of aneurysmal clamping, such as continuous spinal drainage, ventriculostomy to the outside for CSF drainage and continuous monitoring of ICP and brain retraction pressure, temporary closure of the mother artery, retrograde suction decompression in giant aneurysms. 74.62% of the cases recovered without any type of symptoms or sequelae, and mortality was 1.49%. Discussion: Microsurgery is an effective procedure, with a high efficiency index, for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms in our environment. Adjunctive strategies facilitate parenchymal relaxation, dissection, and clamping of the aneurysmal neck.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: Un aneurisma intracraneal roto provoca una hemorragia subaracnoidea. La enfermedad presenta una alta mortalidad y morbilidad. Sin embargo, no todos se rompen. Mejorar la predicción de rotura permitirá un tratamiento quirúrgico preventivo en un grupo de pacientes y evitará una intervención quirúrgica con riesgos en otro grupo de enfermos. Es necesario identificar factores predictivos para mejorar la estratificación del riesgo de rotura y optimizar el tratamiento de los aneurismas intracraneales incidentales. Objetivo: Identificar factores predictivos de rotura de aneurismas intracraneales. Métodos: En una muestra de 152 pacientes espirituanos con aneurismas intracraneales saculares rotos (n = 138) y no rotos (n = 22) y 160 imágenes de angiografía por tomografía computarizada, se realizaron mensuraciones de los índices o factores morfológicos, los cuales se combinaron mediante análisis de regresión logística con variables demográficas y clínicas. Resultados: El grupo de edad con mayor frecuencia de presentación de aneurismas fue el de mayor de 65 años. La muestra estuvo representada, en su gran mayoría, por el sexo femenino. Se identificaron tres factores clínicos y cuatro factores morfológicos estadísticamente significativos, asociados con la rotura. El índice de no esfericidad (p = 0,002 y el sexo femenino (p = 0,02) fueron los de mayor significación estadística. Conclusiones: Se detectaron siete factores predictivos de rotura de aneurismas intracraneales estadísticamente significativos, de los cuales el índice de no esfericidad resultó el de mayor significación(AU)


Introduction: A ruptured intracranial aneurysm causes a subarachnoid hemorrhage. The disease has high mortality and morbidity. However, not all of them break. Improving the rupture prediction will allow preventive surgical treatment in a group of patients and it will avoid risky surgical intervention in another group of patients. It is necessary to identify predictive factors to improve rupture risk stratification and to optimize treatment of incidental intracranial aneurysms. Objective: To identify rupture predictive factors for intracranial aneurysms. Methods: Measurements of the morphological indices or factors were performed in a sample of 152 patients from Sancti Spiritus with ruptured (n = 138) and unruptured (n = 22) saccular intracranial aneurysms and 160 computed tomography angiography images. They were combined using logistic regression analysis with demographic and clinical variables. Results: The age group with the highest frequency of aneurysm presentation was older than 65. The sample was represented, in its vast majority, by the female sex. Three clinical factors and four statistically significant morphological factors associated with rupture were identified. The non-sphericity index (p = 0.002) and the female sex (p = 0.02) were the most statistically significant. Conclusions: Seven statistically significant predictors of intracranial aneurysm rupture were detected, the non-sphericity index being the most significant(AU)

ABSTRACT

El diagnóstico temprano de las lesiones compresivas del nervio óptico adquiere cada vez mayor importancia. La descompresión precoz de este o del quiasma puede resultar una mejora significativa de la función visual, mientras que el diagnóstico erróneo puede ocasionar pérdida visual irreversible, disfunción neurológica o la muerte. Las causas de la compresión de la vía visual anterior son increíblemente variadas. Los meningiomas, los tumores hipofisarios y los aneurismas son las lesiones comúnmente más identificadas como causa de neuropatía óptica compresiva sin edema del disco. Presentamos una paciente femenina de 50 años de edad, quien se sometió a la cirugía de catarata congénita del ojo izquierdo, sin mejoría de la función visual, a lo que se sumó el empeoramiento inespecífico de la calidad visual. La psicofísica visual, la campimetría automatizada y la tomografía de coherencia óptica aportaron hallazgos sugestivos de compresión de la vía visual intracraneal. Se indicó imagen por resonancia magnética de cráneo y órbitas para confirmar la sospecha diagnóstica. La angiografía cerebral demostró la presencia de un aneurisma de la arteria carótida interna, que se trató por vía endovascular con resultados satisfactorios(AU)


The importance of early diagnosis of compressive lesions of the optic nerve is on the increase. Timely decompression of the optic nerve or the optic chiasm may bring about significant visual function improvement, whereas erroneous diagnosis may result in irreversible visual loss, neurological dysfunction or death. The causes of compression of the anterior visual pathway are incredibly varied. Meningiomas, pituitary tumors and aneurysms are the lesions most commonly identified as causes of compressive optic neuropathy without disc edema. A case is presented of a female 50-year-old patient undergoing congenital cataract surgery of her left eye without visual function improvement, alongside unspecific visual quality worsening. Visual psychophysical testing, automated campimetry and optical coherence tomography contributed findings suggestive of intracranial visual pathway compression. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain and orbits was indicated to confirm the diagnostic suspicion. Cerebral angiography revealed the presence of an internal carotid artery aneurysm which was treated by endovascular procedure with satisfactory results(AU)

ABSTRACT

El Dispositivo de Embolización Pipeline (PED) fue el primer dispositivo para la desviación de flujo aprobado por la FDA (Food and Drug Administration), el cual se emplea como tratamiento de aneurismas intracraneales. Se presenta el caso de un paciente femenino de 74 años de edad con diagnóstico de aneurisma sacular de la bifurcación de la arteria carótida interna derecha más placa calcificada en el origen de la arteria carótida interna derecha. Se decide terapia endovascular más colocación de PED como método terapéutico


The Pipeline Embolization Device (PED) was the first device for flow diversion approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration), which is used as a treatment of intracranial aneurysms. The case arises from a 74-year-old female patient with a diagnosis of a saccular aneurism in the right internal carotid artery bifurcation and a calcified plaque in the origin of the right internal carotid artery. The therapeutic method was decided to be endovascular therapy and PED placement

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Intracranial aneurysms are abnormal dilations of the cerebral arteries of unknown origin. However, some genes have been linked to their formation, as in the case of NOS3 gene which encodes the endothelial nitric oxide synthase responsible for producing nitric oxide. Several polymorphisms in this gene, in association with a variable number tandem repeat located in intron 4 from eNOS4 gene, can influence the formation of aneurysms. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine the genotype frequencies of eNOS3 and eNOS4 genes, and their relationship with intracranial aneurysms. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A prospective case-control study was performed on 79 cases with ruptured intracranial aneurysm and 93 healthy controls. DNA was obtained from all subjects for the study of the eNOS3 and eNOS4 genes by molecular techniques. RESULTS: The GG genotype of eNOS3 gene showed the largest number of patients (n=29) with a large aneurysm. While the intracranial aneurysms of medium size were found in a higher percentage (50%) in patients with genotype GT. In terms of patient outcomes, it was observed that those with genotype GG had the highest percentage (43.13%) recovery, compared to genotype GT (27.27%). CONCLUSIONS: The present study shows that there is a tendency of an association between genotypes of eNOS3 gene with the mean size of the aneurysm, as well as clinical sequelae of the disease in patients with intracranial aneurysms.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Evaluar los resultados quirúrgicos en pacientes con aneurismas de la circulación anterior usando dos corredores diferentes, el Keyhole supraorbitario (KHSO) y la craneotomía pterional (CPT).Métodos: Se realiza un estudio cuasi–experimental en el que una vez decidido el tratamiento quirúrgico los pacientes fueron asignados a dos grupos en dependencia del abordaje seleccionado, sin aleatorización. El primer grupo quedó constituido por aquellos que fueron operados a través de un KHSO y el segundo grupo por los que fueron abordados a través de una CPT.Resultados: Se estudiaron 125 pacientes de los cuales 77 (61,60 Por ciento), se incluyeron en el grupo KHSO y los 48 restantes (38,40 Por ciento) en el grupo CPT. En total fueron tratados 153 sacos aneurismáticos, 119 rotos (77,77 Por ciento) y 34 (22,23 Por ciento) no rotos, de los cuales 93 pertenecían al grupo KHSO y 60 al grupo CPT.Conclusiones: No existieron diferencias significativas en los resultados entre los grupos, el KHSO representa unaalternativa más en el tratamiento de los aneurismas de la circulación anterior hasta el segmento M1 de la arteria cerebral media(AU)


Objective: To asses surgical results in patients with anterior circulation intracranial aneurysms treated by two different approaches, the supraorbital keyhole and pterional craniotomy.Methods: A non–randomized surgical trial was carried out in which the patients was assigned to KHSO group if the approach selected was supraorbital Keyhole or CPT group if the approach was pterional craniotomy.Results: 125 cases were studied, 77 (61.60 Per cent) in KHSO group and 48 (38.40 Per cent) in CPT group. 153 aneurysmal sacs were treated, 93 in KHSO group and 60 in CPT group, 119 rupture (77.77 Per cent) and 34 without rupture (22.23 Per cent).Conclusions: There were no significant differences between the two groups. The supraorbital Keyhole is an alternative option in surgical treatment of anterior circulation intracranial aneurysms(AU)

ABSTRACT

La alta morbimortalidad en aneurismas intracraneales exige la identificación rápida de los síntomas de alarma y el tratamiento oportuno en caso de ruptura. De ahí la importancia de las imágenes diagnósticas para identificar a los pacientes en riesgo y definir el manejo endovascular o quirúrgico. Revisamos los criterios para el uso del stent redireccionador de flujo en aneurismas intracraneales, método endovascular que reduce las comorbilidades, el tiempo quirúrgico y la estancia hospitalaria. Estudio descriptivo retrospectivo de 2010 a 2012 de siete casos. Se presentan las complicaciones siendo la cefalea y la trombosis posterior al procedimiento las más frecuentes. El tratamiento endovascular es seguro, eficaz e innovador y por tanto puede implementarse y difundirse.


High morbidity and mortality associated with intracranial aneurysms requires prompt recognition of alarm symptoms due to rupture and timely treatment. There fore, diagnostic imaging is very important to identify patients in risk andto define endovascular or surgical management. We reviewed the criteria for the uses of flow-diverting stents in intracranialaneurysms, an endovascular method which reduces comorbidities, surgical time and hospital stay. This isa descriptive retrospective trial of seven cases, conducted from 2010 to 2012. Complications were reviewed evidencingpost procedural headache and thrombosis as the commonest. Endovascular treatment is safe, efficient and innovative,thus, it may be implemented and diffused.

Metodología: Estudio descriptivo con una muestra no probabilística de 25 pacientes con el diagnóstico de aneurisma intracraneal, comprobado mediante métodos imaginológicos y durante el acto quirúrgico, en el caso de los operados. Las variables estudiadas fueron: edad, sexo, color de la piel, área de salud, tamaño del aneurisma, sitio de localización, estado neurológico al ingreso y antes de la operación, dificultades durante la cirugía, método de tratamiento empleado, complicaciones intraoperatorias y postoperatorias, mortalidad y morbilidad quirúrgicas y sobrevida. Resultados: Predominaron los pacientes entre 41 y 50 años de edad, con mayor número de mujeres y pacientes de color de la piel blanca. Hubo mayor frecuencia de hipertensión arterial. El factor genético estuvo presente. Predominó el aneurisma de mediano tamaño y la localización comunicante anterior. En su mayor parte los pacientes progresaron satisfactoriamente con una escala de evaluación de los resultados de Glasgow grado uno al egreso. Conclusiones: La enfermedad aneurismática intracraneal en Sancti Spíritus predominó en mujeres de la quinta década vida con una frecuencia de presentación muy diferente en los ocho municipios, con un predominio del factor de riesgo hipertensión arterial, una mayor frecuencia del saco aneurismático mediano y una evolución satisfactoria en la mayoría de los pacientes tratados(AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción: Los aneurismas intracraneales gigantes, son lesiones con características muy particulares, que implican la utilización de métodos quirúrgicos específicos para su exclusión de la circulación, dependientes de su tamaño, localización, morfología, relaciones con otras estructuras neurales y vasculares, así como características propias del saco. Método: Se realiza un estudio descriptivo, de todos los pacientes portadores de aneurismas intracraneales gigantes, que fueron intervenidos quirúrgicamente en el servicio de neurocirugía del Hospital “Roberto Rodriguez”, de la ciudad de Morón, en la provincia de Ciego de Ávila, Cuba, en el período comprendido entre enero de 1996 y diciembre del 2008. La evaluación al ingreso fue con la escala de Hunt y Hess, el diagnóstico se obtuvo con imágenes de angiotomografía computarizada multicortes, angioresonancia magnética nuclear o angiografía cerebral. El corredor quirúrgico fue el frontopterional de Yasargil y se emplearon medidas adyuvantes para lograr el presillamiento. Resultados: La muestra estuvo representada por 13 pacientes. Predominaron los aneurismas de la comunicante posterior (61,53 por ciento), ocho (61,54 por ciento), debutaron con una hemorragia subaracnoidea y cinco (38,46 por ciento), con compresión de estructuras adyacentes. De los tres operados en fase aguda, dos fallecieron (ERG I) (66,67 por ciento) y uno (33,33 por ciento) quedó con secuelas severas (ERG III). Los operados en fase tardía, dos (20 por ciento) quedaron con secuelas severas (ERG III), tres (30 por ciento) mostraron secuelas moderadas (ERG IV) y cinco (50 por ciento) quedaron con secuelas ligeras o sin ellas (ERG V). La mortalidad global fue de 15,38 por ciento. Conclusiones: La microcirugía constituye un método eficaz en centros que no cuentan con tratamiento endovascular.


Introduction: The surgical treatment of giant intracraneal aneurysms aims to exclude them from the circulation and to reduce its mass effect while preserving normal vasculature. Method: We have carried out a descriptive study in thirteen patients with a giant aneurysm located in the anterior circulation of Willis circle operated on in neurological surgery department of Moron General Hospital, Ciego de Avila, Cuba between January of 1996 to December of 2008. The neurological status in emergency department was evaluated by Hunt and Hess scale, the results were evaluated by Glasgow outcome scale. The diagnosis was obtained by CT scan, MRI and conventional angiography. Results: From thirteen aneurysms, 9 were excluded of circulation (69,23 percent), 7 were clipped, 2 were trapped and 4 reinforced. Three patients were operated on in acute phase with poor grade aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, two of them died (66,67 percent) (GOS I), and one (33,33 percent) had a severe disability (GOS III). Delayed surgery was carried out in 10 patients, two of them (20 percent) showed severe disability (GOS III), 3 (30 percent) had moderate disability and 5 (50 percent) had favorable outcome (GOS 5). The global mortality in the group was 15,38 percent. Conclusion: Microsurgery is the more important treatment in countries without possibilities of endovascular treatment for giant intracranial aneurysms.

El seguimiento postoperatorio fue en la sala de TerapiaIntensiva. Resultados. Hubo un total de ocho pacientes, entre gestantes y puérperas con hemorragia ubaracnoideapor aneurismas o malformaciones arteriovenosas intracraneales.Seis tenían aneurismas intracraneales ydos malformaciones arteriovenosas. Realizamos siete intervenciones quirúrgicas, cinco en aneurismas y dosen malformaciones. Cuatro pacientes lograron una recuperación neurológica completa, dos una recuperación parcial y hubo dos fallecidas. Esta enfermedad constituyó el 14 por ciento de todas las causas de muertes maternas indirectas.Conclusión. Un mejor diagnóstico clínico, los estudios por imágenes y el manejo interdisciplinario precoz que vincula la terapia intensiva, la atención obstétricay los servicios de neurocirugía vascular determinan un incremento en el diagnóstico de estas lesiones que requieren un tratamiento microneuroquirúrgico o endovascular rápido y oportuno para evitar la muertematerna y el grave daño del feto(AU)


Introduction. Subarachnoid hemorrhage for aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations is most frequentduring pregnancy and puerperium. We analyzed behavior and management of this patients and the effect on it of our Maternal Health Program. Patients and methods. There were 437 pregnancyand 717 puerperal complicated patients between january 1996 to december 2005, 41 maternal deaths of allcauses and 14 indirect maternal deaths. There were operated on 454 patients with intracranial aneurysmsand arteriovenous malformations in this period. Pregnant patients and fetus were evaluated to select modeof delivery. A specialized medical team managed precociously these patients. Vascular lesions were clipped bymicrosurgical methods. Anesthetic management considered pregnancy and fetal complexities. We did not use endovascular methods. Postoperative management was performed on intensive care unit. Results. There were eight pregnant and puerperal patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage due to aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations 2 percent of allpatients were operated on by this cause. Six harboured intracranial aneurysms and two arteriovenous malformations.We performed seven surgical rocedures, five for aneurysms and two for malformations. There was a delivery rate of 2.1 and seven normal newborn. Four patients achieved a complete neurological recovery, twoa partial recovery and there were two deceaseds. This cause constituted 14 percent of all indirect maternal deaths.Conclusion. A precocious clinical diagnosis, neuroimaging studies and interdisciplinary management that involve intensive therapy, obstetric attention and neurovascular surgical treatment determined an increment in the diagnosis of these lesions that require opportune microsurgical or endovascular treatment toprevent maternal death and fetal damage(AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción. Los aneurismas de la arteria oftálmica son lesiones poco frecuentes y con particularidades específicas. Objetivo. Presentar las características anatomoclínicas, quirúrgicas y los resultados del tratamiento microquirúrgico de nuestros pacientes con aneurismas de esta región. Pacientes y métodos. 604 pacientes con aneurismas intracraneales fueron llevados al quirófano entre enero de 1982 y diciembre del 2004. Hubo 50 pacientes con aneurismas de la región de la arteria oftálmica. El promedio de edad fue de 52 años, el 80 porciento fueron mujeres, el 60 porciento presentaban aneurismas múltiples y un 20 porciento gigantes. El 12 porciento poseían lesiones aneurismáticas bilaterales. El 20 porciento de los aneurismas fueron incidentales. El 50 porciento tenían manifestaciones oftalmológicas y la frecuencia se elevó al 100 porciento en los aneurismas grandes y gigantes. El 16 porciento de los trastornos visuales fueron ignorados o confundidos inicialmente. En aneurismas múltiples empleamos la ruta pterional uni o bilateral asociada a otros abordajes. En los aneurismas oftálmicos grandes o gigantes utilizamos la técnica de descompresión-succión retrógrada modificada. Resultados. Treinta pacientes (60 porciento) obtuvieron una recuperación completa, catorce pacientes (28 porciento) una recuperación incompleta y dos incapacidad grave. No hubo pacientes en estado vegetativo. Hubo cuatro fallecidos (8 porciento). El 50 porciento de los déficit postoperatorios desaparecieron y el 64 porciento de los trastornos visuales mejoraron a los tres meses. Conclusión. El método microquirúrgico permitió tratar aneurismas de la región de la arteria oftálmica únicos, múltiples, bilaterales, grandes y gigantes con buena recuperación de los déficit neurológicos y de los trastornos visuales(AU)


Introduction. Ophthalmic artery aneurysms are infrequent lesions and they have very specific particularities. Objective. to present the anatomoclinical and surgical characteristic of our patients with ophthalmic aneurysms and to analyze our surgical results. Patient and methods. 604 patients with intracranial aneurysms were operated on between January 1982 and December 2004. There were 50 patients with ophthalmic artery aneurysms. Average age was 52 years, 80 percent were women, 60 percent harbored multiple aneurysms and 20 percent were giant lesions. 12 percent had bilateral ophthalmic aneurysms. 20 percent of ophthalmic aneurysms were incidental. 50 percent had ophthalmological manifestations; howewer, this presentation occurred in 100 percent of the patients withlarge and giant aneurysms. Initially, 12 percent of ophthalmologic disorders were missed. We utilized unilateral or bilateral pterional approach associated to others in multiple aneurysms. We performed retrograde decompression-suction technique modified for large and giantaneurysms. Results. Thirty patients (60 percent) obtained a complete recovery, fourteen patients (28 percent) an incomplete recovery and two were seriously disabled. There were not patients in vegetative state. There were four deaths (8 ). 50 percent of postoperatory deficits disappeared and 64 percent of ophthalmologic disorders improved three months later. Conclusion.
