SUMMARY We report two cases of aneurysm of the distal branches of the superior cerebellar artery presenting with cerebellar infarction. In both cases, the diagnosis required close correlation of the findings from different imaging techniques, as catheter angiography failed to opacify the lesions. In one patient endovascular parent vessel occlusion was performed, whereas in the second patient th...

giant aneurysm of the RCA was confirmed during surgery (Figure 3A). After incision, significant thrombus was removed. Both proximal and distal ends of the aneurysm (Figure 3B) were ligated after bypassing the posterior descending artery. Two additional bypass grafts (LAD and OM) were performed and the postoperative course was uneventful. The macroscopic specimen removed from the RCA aneurysm, m...

BACKGROUND Although popliteal artery aneurysms (PAA) are rare (0.1% of the general population), they are the most common of the peripheral aneurysms. They are associated with concomitant contralateral PAA and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), with a high risk of complications and an elevated morbidity and mortality. METHODS We performed a retrospective, transversal and retrolective study of a ...

INTRODUCTION The treatment of giant intracranial aneurysms is one of the most challenging cerebrovascular problems of neurosurgery. We report the rupture of a giant, lobulated, and almost completely thrombosed middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysm that is the ninth such report in the literature. We also investigated additional solutions used in the treatment of this patient. CASE PRESENTATION...

Introduction. The hypothenar hammer syndrome is a rare traumatic vascular disease of the hand. Method and Materials. We report the case of a 43-years-old man with a painful tumefaction of the left hypothenar region. The ulnar artery appeared thrombosed clinically and radiologically. The patient underwent surgery to resolve the ulnar nerve compression and revascularise the artery. Results. The s...

A 50-year-old female with no prior respiratory disease or symptoms presented with massive haemoptysis and respiratory failure. Multidetector computed tomographic angiography demonstrated an aberrant artery supplying a lobulated mass occupying two-thirds of the right chest (fig. 1a and b). Aortography confirmed a large aberrant systemic artery originating from the supra-diaphragmatic aorta (fig....

BACKGROUND Osteochondroma is the most common non-malignant tumour of bone, accounting for approximately one third of benign lesions in the skeleton. They often develop around the knee in the distal femur and in the proximal tibia and fibula. They present as a painless slow growing mass during adolescence and have been reported to cause damage to adjacent structures such as blood vessels; arteri...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The aim of this retrospective study was to report the incidence, clinical presentation, and midterm clinical and imaging results of endovascular treatment of 10 aneurysms of the vertebrobasilar junction. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between January 1995 and January 2007, 2112 aneurysms were treated in our institution. Ten aneurysms in 10 patients were located on the vertebroba...

Sir, Carotid artery aneurysm is a rare cause of asymptomatic neck mass, which is very often misdiagnosed and underappreciated. We report a case of 57-year-old male patient presented with asymptomatic left sided neck swelling. Examination revealed a firm, non‐tender, non‐pulsatile 6 cm × 4 cm ellipsoid swelling with the presence of carotid bruit [Figure 1]. Computed tomography angiogram and reco...
