For the first time since its creation, the WFITN holds its congress in Australia. A distant country for most of us, but a country that has showed will, energy and enthusiasm to welcome us for the most important meeting of our Federation. What a symbol of the wide spread interest in this speciality, and of the importance of a young branch of the neurosciences! Australia furthermore allows us to celebrate in Gold Coast the 25th anniversary of our Federation, in a city so far away from its…

Many newer treatment modalities are being explored for IIH refractory to standard medical therapy, but their efficacy and safety must be demonstrated in large studies before they can be adopted as part of standard treatment.

The above outcome of non operated giant aneurysm cases may justify the surgical management of the giant anthurysm, but as the intracranial mass effect and thromboses are relatively harmless, surgical indication should be carefully decided, especially in the older patients.

This retrospective multicenter European study analyzed short- and midterm data in patients treated with the new WEB-DL to suggest that the WEB endovascular treatment of wide-neck bifurcation aneurysms offers stable occlusion in a class of aneurYSms that are historically unstable.

Hunterian proximal artery occlusion was used in the treatment of 160 of 335 patients harboring giant aneurysms of the anterior circulation, and it was revealed that hemodynamic ischemic infarction was known to occur after only two of the carotid occlusions.

In this large prospective series of patients, WEB flow disruption was a safe and efficient technique in a large, multicenter, prospectively collected population of patients.

In the preliminary experience, this treatment was feasible and mostly used in bifurcation aneurysms (MCA, BA, ICA) with unfavorable anatomy, and intrasaccular flow disruption is a new endovascular approach forAneurysm treatment.

In this initial series of patients, EVT of wide-neck bifurcation IAa with the WEB was feasible and further studies are needed to evaluate the indications, safety, and efficacy of this new technique.
