The unruptured intracranial aneurysm treatment score (UIATS) was published in April 2015 as a multidisciplinary consensus regarding the unruptured intracranial aneurysm treatment (UIA).

In 2015 Micko et al. subdivided Knosp grade 3 into 2:

3A - the tumor extends to the lateral line superiorly (over ICA)

3B - the tumor extends to the lateral line inferiorly (under ICA) 1).

In 2015, the American Heart Association (AHA) made major changes to the guidelines for the endovascular treatment of acute ischemic stroke.

In patients receiving intravenous t-PA for acute ischemic stroke due to occlusions in the proximal anterior intracranial circulation, thrombectomy with a stent retriever within 6 hours after onset improved functional outcomes at 90 days.

2015: Thieme Publishers Delhi named official publisher for Neurological Society of India and takes over publication of the Indian Journal of Neurosurgery

2015: Thieme Publishers Rio named publisher of Brazilian Neurosurgery, the official journal of the Brazilian Society of Neurosurgery

Hemphill et al. published the Guidelines for the Management of Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage from the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association 3).

Japanese evidence-based stroke guidelines were published in 2015 to present the current and comprehensive recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of stroke. In the spontaneous ICH, topics focused on prevention, management in the acute and chronic stage, complications, management of coagulopathy and blood pressure, prevention and control of secondary brain injury and intracranial pressure, the role of surgery, and other pathologies of ICH. The management of ICH in pregnancy and the puerperium was newly added. These guidelines provide a framework for goal-directed treatment of the patient with ICH 4).

In 2015 Spallone et al., reported a case of temporal horn entrapment in a 58-year-old man who presented with pure Wernicke aphasia (never described before in the albeit rare cases of isolated temporal horn dilatation) that regressed completely following successful ventriculoperitoneal shunting 5).
