We report a case of infective endocarditis due to Neisseria sicca complicated by intracranial and popliteal aneurysms and hepatic and splenic infarcts in a patient with a bicuspid aortic valve. No predisposing factor other than poor dental condition was found. The patient fully recovered after antibiotic therapy, aortic and mitral valve replacement, endovascular occlusion of the middle-cerebral...

Colonoscopy, a relatively non-invasive procedure, has been associated with several complications including perforation, hemorrhage and abdominal pain. Post-colonoscopy bacteremia can occur up to 4.4% of the time but is almost always transient without significant clinical sequelae. Post-colonoscopy infective endocarditis, on the other hand, is a rare occurrence associated with high rates of mort...

Anglothat represented an anastomosis between the coehac graphy revealed an extremely small calibre coeliac artery and superior mesenteric artery (SMA). 1 This artery with ...

Splenic artery aneurysm is a rare pathology, asymptomatic for a long time. It's in fact often revealed by its complications, such as the rupture and potentially fatal acute haemorrhage. It's incidentally discovered during instrumental exams, performed for other reasons, like the case of our woman, affected by ulcerating rectocolitis and suffering from renal colic pain, demonstrated. While surgi...

Splenic artery aneurysms (SAA) are the third most common intra-abdominal aneurysm. Complications include invasion into surrounding structures often in association with preexisting pancreatic disease. We describe an 88-year-old female, with no history of pancreatic disease, referred with lower gastrointestinal bleeding. CT angiography showed a splenic artery pseudoaneurysm with associated collec...
