Summary: The common trunk anomaly of the anterior and posterior inferior cerebellar artery (APC) is a variant artery that causes hemifacial spasm (HFS). Surgical outcomes were favorable in most cases, with immediate spasm relief for 77.9% of patients and complete spasm freedom within a year for all patients except one who had recurrence 2 years after surgery.

Summary: Anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA) aneurysms are rare pathologies that can cause hearing loss, facial paralysis, vertigo, and tinnitus. They are often misdiagnosed as vestibular schwannomas and may lead to vascular complications. Early recognition and treatment through MRI and other tests are important for AICA aneurysms.

Summary: The clinical features and therapeutic measures of radiation-related aneurysm after vestibular schwannoma (VS) have been described in this study. The first case of VS radiation-related aneurysm presenting with acute anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA) ischemic symptoms is reported. The study analyzed cases from literature and found that VS radiation-related aneurysms mainly occurred in women, located on AICA, and 75% of the cases were ruptured aneurysms. Surgical treatment resulted in a 75% recovery rate, but 3 patients experienced new ischemic consequences. Patients undergoing radiotherapy for VS should be aware of the risk of radiation-related aneurysms, and active intervention should be considered.

Summary: AICA trunk aneurysms can be divided into isolated AICA aneurysms and flow-related AICA aneurysms. They can also be further classified into proximal and distal types based on their anatomical location. EVT, including selective coiling and parent artery preservation, is the mainstream treatment option for these aneurysms.

Summary: Endoscope-controlled clipping is an effective treatment for intrameatal aneurysms, with minimal postoperative deficits reported. Follow-up angiography confirmed successful exclusion of the aneurysm while preserving distal aneurysms of the anterior inferior cerebellar artery. The use of endoscopic equipment enhances surgical visualization and is particularly beneficial for treating deep aneurysms.

Summary: Differentiation between spinocerebellar ataxia type 17 (SCA17) and Huntington's disease (HD) is challenging, but ocular motor findings can help distinguish between the two. Central positional nystagmus (CPN) is more frequently observed in SCA17, while saccadic slowing is more common in HD. Ocular motor abnormalities can be used as a diagnostic and surrogate marker for clinical decline in SCA17.

Summary: This study developed and validated a predictive model of self-management based on the information-motivation-behavioral skills model for stroke patients. The results showed that stroke self-management knowledge, social support, and self-efficacy had a direct impact on stroke self-management, and stroke self-management knowledge and attitude and social support had an indirect effect on stroke self-management mediated by self-efficacy. The information-motivation-behavioral skills model can be a predictive model for self-management in stroke patients, and considering stroke knowledge and attitude, social support, and self-efficacy levels can help understand the required level of self-management. Additionally, using this model to develop self-management interventions for stroke patients could improve self-management in this population.

Summary: This study retrospectively analyzed ocular motor findings in 84 patients with anti-GQ1b antibody-associated ophthalmoplegia and found that 13% of patients showed acute comitant strabismus. Patients with acute comitant strabismus frequently exhibited abnormal ocular motor findings, suggesting that the cerebellum and/or brainstem may be the primary targets of anti-GQ1b antibodies.

Summary: Vibration-induced downbeat nystagmus was observed in a patient with paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration due to cervical cancer. The patient exhibited spontaneous upbeat nystagmus, which decreased during lateral and upward gaze. The appearance of downbeat nystagmus was associated with convergence, horizontal head shaking, and vibratory stimulation.

Summary: This study explored the relationships among migraine symptoms, disability, type D personality, and quality of life in patients with migraine. The results showed that patients with type D personality had higher intensity of migraine symptoms and disability assessment scores, as well as lower quality of life scores compared to those without type D personality. The intensity of migraine, disability assessment score, and type D personality were significant factors influencing quality of life.

Summary: The study aims to determine the diagnostic value of decreased torsional quick phases during head oscillations in the roll plane in patients with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). The results showed that 78.6% of PSP patients had absent torsional quick phases during the torsional vestibulo-ocular reflex, while only 11.8% of multiple system atrophy (MSA) patients and none of the idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD) patients or normal controls had this abnormality (Chi-square tests, p < 0.001). Furthermore, the torsional quick phases observed in PSP patients were smaller.

Summary: This study aims to investigate the effect of oxiracetam on post-stroke cognitive impairment and explore whether this effect is modified by exercise. The study methods include a randomized controlled trial and neural network analysis. The results of the study will contribute to proving the efficacy of oxiracetam, evaluating the impact of exercise on medication effects, and understanding the restoration of cognitive function.

Summary: This study aimed to establish the clinical features and underlying etiologies of isolated abducens nerve palsy by recruiting patients from all departments in a referral-based university hospital. The most common etiology was microvascular, followed by idiopathic, neoplastic, vascular anomalies, inflammatory, and traumatic. Compared to previous studies, this study showed a higher prevalence of microvascular cause but a lower occurrence of traumatic and neoplastic causes.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the findings of video head-impulse tests in patients with posterior circulation strokes (PCSs) and vestibular neuritis (VN). The results showed that patients with PCS exhibited more diverse video head-impulse test responses compared to VN, including normal, contralaterally positive, and negative saccadic amplitude asymmetry. Thorough analysis of corrective saccades in video head-impulse tests can improve the differentiation of PCS and VN even before MRIs.

Summary: This study aimed to develop and evaluate a hospital-to-home transitional intervention for adult stroke patients based on an interaction model of client health behavior. Thirty-eight patients participated, with 18 in the intervention group and 20 in the control group. The intervention significantly influenced anxiety, disease severity, health behavior adherence, patient satisfaction, and quality of life. Transitional programs have the potential to improve health behaviors, and community health nurses play a vital role in their implementation.

Summary: The study found that participants with chronic dizziness had a lower body mass index than those without and were more likely to have sarcopenia. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that sarcopenia was associated with a higher risk of chronic dizziness. Further research is needed to establish a causal relationship between chronic dizziness and sarcopenia.

Summary: Cerebellar nodulus and uvula, along with their connection with the vestibular nuclei, form the velocity-storage circuit. Lesions in this circuit can cause positional vertigo and nystagmus. We present a case of a 32-year-old male with cerebellar nodulus and uvular hemorrhage, showing periodic vertigo and downbeat nystagmus in the supine position. A lesion on the neural connection between the gravity and inertia estimators was proposed as an explanation for this pattern.
