Presurgical Thalamus and Brainstem Shifts Predict Distal Motor Function Recovery After Anatomic Hemispherectomy.

abstract：BACKGROUND:A spontaneous persistent primitive trigeminal artery-cavernous sinus fistula (PCF) is extremely rare. Until recently, endovascular treatment for PCF involving transarterial and/or transvenous coil embolization of the cavernous sinus (with/without the persistent trigeminal artery) was commonly performed.
