Short- and midterm results of endovascular aneurysm treatment with the new WEB-DL device were assessed in 45 patients from 12 European centers. Of these, 42 aneurysms were unruptured and most were located either in the MCA bifurcation or the posterior circulation. Adequate occlusion was observed in 81% and 90% of aneurysms at 6 and 13 months, respectively. Results suggest that WEB endovascular treatment of wide-neck bifurcation aneurysms offers stable occlusion in a class of aneurysms that are historically unstable.

The authors used DTI measurements of the arcuate fasciculus in 14 children with language impairment, in 16 autistic children with language impairment, 18 autistic children without language impairment, and 25 controls. Although white matter abnormalities appeared similar in language impairment and autism spectrum disorder when examining broad white matter measures, detailed analysis indicated different mechanisms for the white matter microstructural anomalies associated with these disorders.
