Aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage which has a serious mortality and morbitity ratio, occurs approximately 10/100.000 population per year and it is usally caused by rupture of a cerebral artery aneurysm. Aneurysms are classified saccular, fusiform or dissecan by morphological description. Vascular congenital anomalies of the cerebral vessels contribute to saccular aneurysm formation by increas...

BACKGROUND It is well-known that ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (oVEMPs) predominantly reflect utricular function whilst cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (cVEMPs) reflect saccular function. To date, there are no published reports on the systemic evaluation of utricular and saccular function in benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), nor are there any reports on ...

Primary aortoenteric fistula is a direct communication between the aorta and intestinal lumen and it represents a rare but potentially lethal complication of an abdominal aortic aneurysm. However, it may occur less frequently in a naive non-aneurysmatic aorta. Diagnosis is often difficult and delayed in most cases, unless there is a high level of clinical awareness. Urgent surgery is still the ...

Aneurysms of any part of the extracranial carotid artery are uncommon lesions [1-6], and those involving just the common carotid segment may appropriately be considered rare. Although fusiform enlargement of the mediastinal segment of the left common carotid artery can occur in atherosclerotic disease and in association with syphilitic and other forms of aortitis, a saccular form of aneurysm in...

Venous aneurysms are rare causes of neck mass. Among neck veins, aneurysms of the external jugular vein are extremely uncommon. We present a case of a woman with a history of prior internal jugular vein catheterization who presented at a rural primary health care unit with a nontender progressively enlarging swelling in the right supraclavicular region. B-mode and Doppler ultrasound examination...

Intracranial aneurysms are classified in 3 groups as saccular (berry), fusiform and dissecting aneurysms, regarding their pathological appearance. Among those, saccular ones constitute 90-95% of all cases, and are found at the bifurcation site where the hemodynamic stress is highest [1]. Arterial anatomy of the posterior cranial fossa is variable. It has been already reported that unequal diame...
