The authors used DTI measurements of the arcuate fasciculus in 14 children with language impairment, in 16 autistic children with language impairment, 18 autistic children without language impairment, and 25 controls. Although white matter abnormalities appeared similar in language impairment and autism spectrum disorder when examining broad white matter measures, detailed analysis indicated different mechanisms for the white matter microstructural anomalies associated with these disorders.

The long-term complications of coil treatment of giant intracranial aneurysms were assessed in 334 instances when treatment consisted of only coiling (225), stent-assisted coiling (88), parent vessel occlusion (14), or balloon-assisted coiling (7). The authors concluded that coiling of large and giant aneurysms has reasonable safety profiles with good clinical outcomes, but aneurysm reopening was common. Stent-assisted coiling had lower recurrence, retreatment, and new or recurrent hemorrhage rates with no additional morbidity compared with conventional coiling. Aneurysm size was a major determinant of recanalization, retreatment, new or recurrent hemorrhage, and poor outcome.
