Quantification of normal CSF flow through the aqueduct using PC-Cine MRI at 3T
Kapsalaki, E.; Svolos, P.; Tsougos, I.; Theodorou, K.; Fezoulidis, I.; Fountas, K. N. (2012)Quantification of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow through the cerebral aqueduct is of paramount importance in patients with hydrocephalus. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the normal CSF flow measurements at three ... -
The role of 3 Tesla MRA in the detection of intracranial aneurysms
Kapsalaki, E. Z.; Rountas, C. D.; Fountas, K. N. (2012)Intracranial aneurysms constitute a common pathological entity, affecting approximately 1-8 of the general population. Their early detection is essential for their prompt treatment. Digital subtraction angiography is ... -

(2012)Objective: The purpose of our study was to evaluate the results of endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) in the management of patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (INPH). Methods: Our prospective study ... -
The role of intraoperative micro-Doppler ultrasound in verifying proper clip placement in intracranial aneurysm surgery
Siasios, I.; Kapsalaki, E. Z.; Fountas, K. N. (2012)Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage constitutes a clinical entity associated with high mortality and morbidity. It is widely accepted that improper clip placement may have as a result of incomplete aneurysm occlusion and/or ... -
The role of proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy in the diagnosis and categorization of cerebral abscesses
Kapsalaki, E. Z.; Gotsis, E. D.; Fountas, K. N. (2008)Despite recent advances in neuroimaging, differentiation between cerebral abscesses and necrotic tumors with ring-type contrast enhancement can be puzzling at times. The introduction of advanced imaging techniques, such ... -

(2010)Objectives: To investigate the association between serotonin (SER), cholesterol, and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) serum levels with depression after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Materials and Methods: Seventy-four patients ... -
Serum and cerebrospinal fluid C-reactive protein levels as predictors of vasospasm in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage
Fountas, K. N.; Tasiou, A.; Kapsalaki, E. Z.; Paterakis, K. N.; Grigorian, A. A.; Lee, G. P.; Robinson, J. S. (2009)Object. Cerebral vasospasm is a common and potentially devastating complication of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). Inflammatory processes seem to play a major role in the pathogenesis of vasospasm. The C-reactive ... -
