잔류 원시 후각동맥은 1979년에 처음 보고된 매우 드문 전대뇌동맥의 변이로, 급격하게 꺾이는 머리핀 회전의 구조적 특성에 의하여 혈역학적 스트레스가 유발되고, 이로 인하여 동맥류의 발생과 높은 연관성을 가지는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 우리는 간헐적 두통을 주소로한 46세 여성에서 우연히 발견된 머리핀 회전에서 동맥류를 동반한 제4형 잔류 원시 후각 동맥의 증례에 대하여 보고하고자 한다. 뇌 MRA와 유체속도강조 자기공명혈관조영술(time-offlight MR angiography)에서 왼쪽 전대뇌동맥의 A1 분절에서 시작되어 머리핀 회전을 형성한 후 부 중대뇌동맥으로 이어지는 비정상적인 주행을 보이는 동맥이 확인되었다. 또한 머리핀 회전 분절에서 방추형 동맥류도 확인이 되었다. 이러한 변이들은 극히 드물긴 하지만, 동맥류가 동반될 수 있음을 인지하고 진단하는 것이 중요하다.

Angiography means that a check up to know an abnormal condition in all the blood vessels include from the heart, aortae, cerobrovascular and abdonominal artery to hands and feet. Main examples of this are cerebral angiography, abdominal, liver for urinary anomaly, renovascular angiography, and artery and vein in arms and legs. Angiography uses radial rays or angiography equipment for an image output during interventional procedure and compositive diagnosis. The acts which performed in a projection room have changed drastically. In general, it is performed by using equipment which is attached one or two C-arms and the method of inserting catheter in vein after anesthesia. For this reason, some rooms that consist of angiography room units should be planned not only for expensiveness equipment and facilities also to be germ-free. Nowadays, in the angiography unit case, it is placed independently as the central part of many hospitals. It does not belong to the imaging medical department any more as considering raising filming times and the relation between C.C.U.(coronary care unit) and operation unit. This means the acts performed are diversified and well-organized rooms in support of diagnosis are required. However, it is difficult to plan the angiography room unit due to domestic researches and data on this unit are not enough. Therefore, this study aims at bringing up basic issue for architectural planning of the angiography unit in general hospital.

본 연구는 CT를 이용한 뇌혈관 추출 검사에서 이중에너지 기법을 활용하여 각 에너지 준위별 뇌혈관 조영술의 유용성을 평가하였다. 방법은 CT 뇌혈관 조영술을 시행한 환자 15명의 DE 영상과 SE 영상을 대상으로 하였다. 영상의 분석은 MCA, 뇌실직 조직, Background에 ROI를 설정하여 평균값, 표준편차 및 SNR, CNR 값을 구하고, SE영상과 비슷하게 구현되는 에너지 영역을 알아보았다. Likert 5점 척도 육안평가를 병행한 결과 DE 40 keV와 SE 120 kVp에서 가장 선명한 MCA 영상을 확인 하였다(p>0.05). SE영상의 SNR 값은 DE영상의 40 keV에너지 준위값과 비슷하게 측정되었고, 40 keV와 50 keV의 저에너지 준위의 영상이 SNR이 높게 측정되어 고에너지 준위의 영상에 비해 대조도가 높아 뇌혈관질환을 유용하게 관찰할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

A 28-year-old woman was referred to our hospital with a sudden, very severe headache. Brain computed tomographic angiography showed a saccular cerebral aneurysm at the bifurcation of the left middle cerebral artery and infraoptic courses of both anterior cerebral arteries. The anterior cerebral arteries were seen to arise from the ipsilateral internal cerebral arteries at the level of the origin of the ophthalmic artery, passed underneath the ipsilateral optic nerve, and turned upward at ventral portion of the optic chiasm. Infraoptic course of the proximal anterior cerebral artery is an extremely rare anomaly and is often associated with cerebral aneurysms. We report the clinical features, radiological findings, and possible genesis of this anomaly with a literature review.

A 49-year-old man with drowsy mentality was diagnosed with acute type A aortic dissection; he underwent an emergency operation. When selective antegrade cerebral perfusion was initiated, the right regional cerebral oxygen saturation ($rSO_2$) decreased as compared to the left one. Adequate blood flow was perfused through the branch of the artificial graft, after distal anastomosis, but the right $rSO_2$ did not recover. Angiography revealed another intimal tear on the right common carotid artery. A stent was then inserted. The right $rSO_2$ promptly increased to the same level as that of the left one. The patient was discharged without any neurologic complications.

Isolated symptomatic occlusion of the anterior cerebral artery (ACA) is a rare condition and until date, only few cases regarding the revascularization of the ACA have been reported. This paper reports on successful attempt to revascularize the ACA using superficial temporal artery (STA) in patient with isolated symptomatic occlusion of the ACA. A 69-year-old man presented with several episodes of transient weakness involving left lower extremity. Cerebral angiography showed occlusion of the right ACA at the A2 segment. After medical treatment failure, the patient underwent STA-ACA bypass surgery. Subsequent to surgery, there was immediate disappearance of transient ischemic attack and follow-up angiography showed favorable revascularization of the ACA territory. Bypass surgery can be considered in the patients with symptomatic occlusion of the ACA, who have experienced failure in medical treatment.

혈관 질환을 검사하기 위한 방법으로 방사선 장비를 이용한 검사들이 주를 이루기 때문에 본 연구를 통해 뇌혈관 질환 검사에 있어 혈관 질환 검사에 사용되는 뇌혈관 조영술과 뇌혈관 전산화단층촬영검사의 입사표면선량(ESD; Entrance Surface Dose)을 비교 분석하여 뇌혈관 질환 검사 시 사용된 선량 결과에 따른 최적의 검사 방법 선택 유도 및 선량 저감화 방안에 대해 알아보고자 하였으며, 조영제 사용량을 측정 및 평가하여 조영제로 인한 부작용 발생 우려 시 권장 할 수 있는 검사선택 방법에 대해 알아보고자 연구를 진행하게 되었다. 대상으로는 2018년 6월부터 2018년 12월까지 여수지역 병원에서 뇌혈관 전산화 단층 촬영 검사를 시행한 70명 (남43, 여27)과 2018년 6월부터 2018년 11월까지 평택지역 병원에서 뇌혈관 조영술을 시행한 61 (남34, 여27)명을 대상으로 하였고, 분석 방법으로는 입사표면선량 데이터 값을 M-view와 PACS PLUS를 통해 후향적으로 획득하였으며 조영제 측정은 실제 사용된 량을 측정하는 방법으로 진행하였다. SPSS를 이용한 T-검정 분석결과 뇌혈관 조영술의 선량이 $245.74{\pm}71.91mGy$로 전산화 단층 촬영검사의 선량 $277.79{\pm}79.65mGy$보다 $32.05{\pm}7.74mGy$만큼 낮았으며 t=3.249, p=0.017로 통계적으로 유의했고(p<0.05) 조영제 총 사용량 비교 분석 결과에선 뇌혈관 조영술 시 사용된 평균 조영제 사용량이 $55.05{\pm}17.68ml$로 전산화 단층 촬영 검사에서 사용된 70 ml의 조영제 양보다 약 14.95 ml만큼 적었으며 t=-4.548, p<0.001로 통계적으로 유의했다. 결론적으로 뇌혈관 조영술의 선량이 전산화 단층 촬영검사보다 통계적으로 유의하게 낮았고, 조영제 사용량 또한 전산화 단층 촬영검사보다 유의할 만큼 적었으므로 뇌혈관 질환 검사에 있어 뇌혈관 조영술의 활용을 늘리는 방안이 피폭선량 저감화를 위한 방법임과 동시에 조영제 사용량을 감소시킬 수 있는 방안이라 생각된다.

Objective : Although there are several explanations for a duplicated middle cerebral artery (DMCA), its embryological origin is still an open question. We reviewed these anomalous vessels to postulate a theory of their different origins, sizes, and courses. Methods : A retrospective review of 1,250 cerebral angiographies, 1,452 computed tomography (CT)-angiographies, and 2,527 magnetic resonance (MR)-angiographies was performed to identify patients with DMCA. Results : Twenty-five patients had 25 DMCAs. Conventional angiography detected nine patients with DMCA (9/1250, 0.72%), MR-angiography detected seven patients with DMCA 0.28%), and CT-angiography detected nine patients with DMCA (9/1452, 0.62%). The DMCAs originated near the internal carotid artery terminal in eight patients (type A), and between the origin of the anterior choroidal artery and the terminal internal carotid artery in 17 patients (type B). The diameters of the eight type A DMCAs were the same or slightly smaller than those of the other branch of the DMCA. All type A DMCAs showed a course parallel to that of the other branch of the DMCA. The diameters of the 17 type B DMCAs were the same, slightly smaller, or very much smaller than that of the other branch of the DMCA. Nine type B DMCAs showed parallel courses, and the other eight curved toward the temporal lobe. Conclusion : The two branches of the type A DMCAs can be regarded as early bifurcations of the MCA. The branches of the type B DMCAs had parallel courses or a course that curved toward the temporal lobe. The type B DMCA can be regarded as direct bifurcations of the MCA trunk or the early ramification of the temporal branch of the MCA.

A previously healthy 52-year-old man presented to the emergency room with acute onset left hemiparesis and dysarthria. Brain computed tomography and magnetic resonance examinations revealed acute cerebral infarction in the right middle cerebral artery territory and a sphenoid ridge meningioma encasing the right carotid artery terminus. Cerebral angiography demonstrated complete occlusion of the right proximal M1 portion. A computed tomography perfusion study showed a wide area of perfusion-diffusion mismatch. Over the ensuing 48 hours, left sided weakness deteriorated despite medical treatment. Emergency extracranial-intracranial bypass was performed using a double-barrel technique, leaving the tumor as it was, and subsequently his neurological function was improved dramatically. We present a rare case of sphenoid ridge meningioma causing acute cerebral infarction as a result of middle cerebral artery compression.
