RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Patients with Hunt-Hess (HH)5 aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) have high mortality rates. Despite an initial moribund exam, a subset of patients progress to favorable outcomes. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the utility of delayed HH grading to improve prognostication. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed patients undergoing treatment of ruptured aneurysms at two level 1 stroke centers from January 2012 through December 2020. We collected relevant clinical information and developed a multivariate cox regression model to identify independent predictors of mortality. To evaluate the utility of delayed examinations in predicting outcomes, we re-assessed the HH grade at 48 hours post admission and constructed a logistic regression model with potential confounders to predict mortality. RESULTS: From 2012 to 2020, 621 patients underwent treatment for aneurysmal SAH. We identified 63 HH5 patients (10%) with a mean age of 58 years. Among these patients, the median length of stay was 14 days, with 3 patients passing away within 48 hours. The overall mortality rate was 63% at 24 months. To predict mortality, our cox regression model found only age to be significant (P = 0.002). Delayed HH grading improved prognostication at 48 hours and remained significant on multivariate analysis as a predictor of mortality (P = 0.0001). We observed a significant difference in mortality between patients HH5 and patients HH4 or lower at 48 hours (P = 0.0003). CONCLUSIONS: Delayed reassessment of HH grade 48 hours postadmission is a predictor of mortality, suggesting reassessment at 48 hours in high grade SAH leads to better prognostication.

RESUMO

Understanding the neural mechanisms that support spontaneous recovery of cognitive abilities can place important constraints on mechanistic theories of brain organization and function, and holds potential to inform clinical interventions. Connectivity-based MRI measures have emerged as a way to study how recovery from brain injury is modulated by changes in intra- and inter-hemispheric connectivity. Here we report a detailed and multi-modal case study of a 26 year-old male who presented with a left inferior parietal glioma infiltrating the left arcuate fasciculus. The patient underwent pre- and post-operative functional MRI and Diffusion Tensor Imaging, as well as behavioral assessments of language, motor, vision and praxis. The surgery for removal of the tumor was carried out with the patient awake, and direct electrical stimulation mapping was used to evaluate cortical language centers. The patient developed a specific difficulty with repeating sentences toward the end of the surgery, after resection of the tumor and partial transection of the arcuate fasciculus. The patient recovered from the sentence repetition impairments over several months after the operation. Coincident with the patient's cognitive recovery, we document a pattern whereby intra-hemispheric functional connectivity was reduced in the left hemisphere, while inter-hemispheric connectivity increased between classic left hemisphere language regions and their right hemisphere homologues. These findings suggest that increased synchrony between the two hemispheres, in the setting of focal transection of the left arcuate fasciculus, can facilitate functional recovery.

RESUMO

The Translational Brain Mapping Program at the University of Rochester is an interdisciplinary effort that integrates cognitive science, neurophysiology, neuroanesthesia, and neurosurgery. Patients who have tumors or epileptogenic tissue in eloquent brain areas are studied preoperatively with functional and structural MRI, and intraoperatively with direct electrical stimulation mapping. Post-operative neural and cognitive outcome measures fuel basic science studies about the factors that mediate good versus poor outcome after surgery, and how brain mapping can be further optimized to ensure the best outcome for future patients. In this article, we describe the interdisciplinary workflow that allows our team to meet the synergistic goals of optimizing patient outcome and advancing scientific understanding of the human brain.

RESUMO

Prior research using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) [1-4] and behavioral studies of patients with acquired or congenital amusia [5-8] suggest that the right posterior superior temporal gyrus (STG) in the human brain is specialized for aspects of music processing (for review, see [9-12]). Intracranial electrical brain stimulation in awake neurosurgery patients is a powerful means to determine the computations supported by specific brain regions and networks [13-21] because it provides reversible causal evidence with high spatial resolution (for review, see [22, 23]). Prior intracranial stimulation or cortical cooling studies have investigated musical abilities related to reading music scores [13, 14] and singing familiar songs [24, 25]. However, individuals with amusia (congenitally, or from a brain injury) have difficulty humming melodies but can be spared for singing familiar songs with familiar lyrics [26]. Here we report a detailed study of a musician with a low-grade tumor in the right temporal lobe. Functional MRI was used pre-operatively to localize music processing to the right STG, and the patient subsequently underwent awake intraoperative mapping using direct electrical stimulation during a melody repetition task. Stimulation of the right STG induced "music arrest" and errors in pitch but did not affect language processing. These findings provide causal evidence for the functional segregation of music and language processing in the human brain and confirm a specific role of the right STG in melody processing.
