High values of directional diffusion parameters in the corticospinal tract are found in iNPH patients indicating affection of its axons. Increased values and their decrease upon CSF drainage may facilitate treatment decisions in clinically uncertain cases.

Filling defects in the proximal ICA extending cranially >3.8 mm were more likely to be FFT than complex ulcerated plaque. Further studies evaluating filling defect length as a predictor for FFT are warranted.

We concur in the view that infundibula are at least pre-pathological lesions that may in certain circumstances require consideration for treatment. Our case for the first time offers a potential treatment option for such situations.

PCHD was not a risk factor for parenchymal haemorrhage in our series. The occurrence of PCHD was strongly related to the prior presence of infarction. PCHD was also a strong predictor for final infarction size.

Complete occlusion of the aneurysms leads, in most cases, to its shrinkage. In cases of late aneurysm growth or regrowth, consideration should be given to possible endoleak as the cause.

The extensive activation observed in alcohol dependents as compared to controls suggests that alcohol dependents recruit additional brain areas to meet the behavioral demands for equivalent task performance. The results are consistent with previous fMRI studies suggesting decreased neural efficiency of relevant brain networks or compensatory mechanisms for the execution of task for showing an equivalent performance.
