Objectives: Lymph node dissection (LND) in gynecological malignancies has always been a cornerstone the diagnosis of metastasis, it is also considered an important prognostic factor, and reliable guide to management strategies. However, its incidence complications, namely lymphedema, vascular injuries other lesions, led reconsideration efficacy comparison role systematic vs. sentinel lymph (SLN...

A 42-year-old man was admitted to another hospital complaining of acute abdominal pain that was induced by eating. Abdominal computed tomography and selective angiography revealed an intimal flap separating true and false lumens that was located 3 cm from the origin of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA). Emergency surgery was performed because of the sudden recurrence of diffuse abdominal pai...

This case report highlights the utility of paravertebral (PV) imaging in the diagnosis of aortic dissection, the evaluation of left ventricular systolic function and drawing the distinction between pleural and pericardial effusions. In this case, less attenuation of the ultrasound beam, reduced lung viscosity due to pleural effusions and less impedance mismatch between media led to images of su...

The present study was designed to determine the extent of lymph node dissection for clinical T1 non-small cell lung cancer without negatively influencing curability. The study included 192 cases with clinical T1 non-small cell lung cancers who underwent lobectomy with mediastinal lymphadenectomy. Among 69 cases with right upper lobe tumors, metastasis was found in subcarinal lymph node in one c...

This case study reports a rare variation of the superior laryngeal artery (SLA), which is the principal arterial supply of the larynx. The knowledge of the arterial variations is essential for the surgeons to prevent blood loss and postoperative complications. During routine dissection of an adult male cadaver, a rare arterial variation in the SLA was seen. In this case, the SLA passed through ...

Recurrent Carotid Artery Vasospasm or Dissection? To the Editor: We find the article by Janzarik et al1 reporting extracranial artery vasospasm very unconvincing. As the authors say, it is a rare phenomenon, if it ever occurs at all. Vasospasm was said to occur during direct insertion of the needle into the extracranial cervical arteries during angiography, but we suspect that in most if not al...

Isolated superior cerebellar artery infarction is rare, and the mechanism is often not readily apparent. We describe a patient with an isolated superior cerebellar artery infarction resulting from an ipsilateral vertebral artery dissection. Angiography demonstrated intraluminal clot in the superior cerebellar artery, suggesting artery-to-artery embolus as a mechanism of this uncommon stroke syn...

STUDY OBJECTIVES Aortic dissection generally is an acute catastrophe. Rapid diagnosis is critical. We hypothesized that the quality of history taking contributes to the accuracy of diagnosis in patients with dissection. DESIGN Retrospective chart review of 83 patients, whose diagnosis of aortic dissection was confirmed by autopsy, surgery, CT scan, echocardiogram, or angiogram. The quality of...
