“…Further cases have been presented (Fotopulos, 1962: Schneider andLemmen, 1952) in which unilateral thrombosis of the internal carotid artery, secondary to non-penetrating injuries, simulated epidural or subdural haematomata both in clinical course and in the contrast study investigation. The presence of increased intracranial pressure as manifest by papilloedema, shift of the midline structures, and increased cerebrospinal fluid pressure, as ascertained by lumbar puncture, is well recognized (Caldwell and Hadden, 1948;Elvidge and Werner, 1951;Verbiest and Calliauw, 1959) occurring with thrombosis of the carotid artery following trauma.…”

“…53,56 The positive endovascular trials reviewed below have all made use of ordinal logistic regression or the shift analysis. 57 It was recognized early that the carotid artery occlusion may be associated with thrombosis in arteries further along the vascular tree, which may be the culprit lesion causing hemiplegia, and thus surgery to remove the carotid occlusion was not always beneficial. 58 It was also recognized that action must be taken quickly because the neurological deficit may only be reversible for a short amount of time.…”

Abstract:The purpose of this article is to review advances in stroke treatment in the hyperacute period. With recent evolutions of technology in the fields of imaging, thrombectomy devices, and emergency room workflow management, as well as improvement in statistical methods and study design, there have been ground breaking changes in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke. We describe how stroke presents as a clinical syndrome and how imaging as the most important biomarker will help differentiate between stroke subtypes and treatment eligibility. The evolution of hyperacute treatment has led to the current standard of care: intravenous thrombolysis with tissue-type plasminogen activator and endovascular treatment for proximal vessel occlusion in the anterior cerebral circulation. All patients with acute ischemic stroke are in need of hyperacute secondary prevention because the risk of recurrence is highest closest to the index event. The dominant themes of modern stroke care are the use of neurovascular imaging and speed of diagnosis and treatment. (Circ Res.

“…Elvidge introduced cerebral angiography in North America in 1934, after learning the technique from Egas Moniz in Lisbon; and he published the first North-American monograph on its use—most notably as an aid in the diagnosis of arteriovenous malformations (AVM)—in 1937 4 . He was also the first to demonstrate the occlusion of an internal carotid artery by angiography, and to correlate it with contralateral hemiplegia 5 . Elvidge was the first neurosurgeon to clip an anterior circulation aneurysm, in 1946 6 …”

I write to clarify some points regarding a paper recently published in the Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences on the history of cerebrovascular surgery in Canada. 1 Edward Archibald, of McGill University, was Canada's first neurosurgeon, and one of the first neurosurgeons in the world. 2 Archibald trained in Neurosurgery at Queen Square, London, with Victor Horsley, in 1906, after which he became the dedicated neurosurgeon at the Royal Victoria Hospital, in Montreal. He published many papers on neurosurgical topics, and a magisterial, 300-page treatise on the practice of neurosurgery in 1908, 3 which rivaled Cushing's own text, published in the same year. Archibald was a founding member of the Society of Neurological Surgeons (SNS) (1920), with Harvey Cushing and 13 other pioneers of North-American neurosurgery. Archibald continued to practice neurosurgery until he recruited Wilder Penfield to McGill University as his replacement, in 1928. At that time, and on the recommendation of Ernest Sachs and Charles Frazier, Archibald became the first senior member of the SNS. Arthur Elvidge was trained in neurosurgery by Archibald, Wilder Penfield, and William Cone, and he joined the latter two as the third neurosurgeon at the Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI). Elvidge introduced cerebral angiography in North America in 1934, after learning the technique from Egas Moniz in Lisbon; and he published the first North-American monograph on its use-most notably as an aid in the diagnosis of arteriovenous malformations (AVM)-in 1937. 4 He was also the first to demonstrate the occlusion of an internal carotid artery by angiography, and to correlate it with contralateral hemiplegia. 5 Elvidge was the first neurosurgeon to clip an anterior circulation aneurysm, in 1946. 6 Francis Echlin, working toward a Master's degree under Penfield's supervision, discovered that experimental vasospasm can result in cortical infarction, in 1939. Eric Peterson and I, at the University of Ottawa, were the first to describe a chronic experimental model of subarachnoid hemorrhage, in cats and monkeys, in 1973. 7,8 Peterson was also the first to treat a carotid-cavernous fistula by endovascular means, in 1969, reaching the lesion through the ophthalmic vein. 9 William Feindel, Lucas Yamamoto, and Charles Hodge, from the MNI, developed the techniques of intraoperative fluorescein angiography and intraoperative radioisotope blood flow studies, which they used as an aid in the treatment of cerebral AVMs. Using these techniques they described the intra-cerebral steal syndrome associated with these lesions. Leblanc and his collaborators at the MNI quantitated the hemodynamic and metabolic aspects of the intra-cerebral steal syndrome using positron emission tomography, and Leblanc and Meyer were the first to demonstrate the usefulness of functional imaging in the treatment of AVMs. 10,11 Further details on the contributions of the MNI in the field of neurovascular surgery, and of neurology and neurosurgery in general, can be found in Feindel and ...
