INTRODUCTION Popliteal artery aneurysms (PAA) are the most prevalent form of peripheral arterial aneurysms. Greater saphenous vein grafts and endoaneurysmorrhaphy remains the mainstay therapy for open repair of PAA. True aneurysmal degeneration of lower extremity infrainguinal autologous vein grafts are relatively rare and its etiology is not completely understood. CASE PRESENTATION We presen...

AIM Despite technical and medical advances, aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhages (SAH) continue to be a challenging pathology, associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. In this regard, a definition is required of the various prognostic indicators of an SAH. The aim of the present retrospective study is to examine the various prognostic factors of the clinical outcomes of the patient...

To evaluate whether the efficacy and safety of embolization of the aneurysmal neck were better than those of embolization of the entire aneurysm. Previous studies found that embolization of the aneurysmal neck can be used for treating ruptured intracranial aneurysm with bleb formation.In all, 163 patients with ruptured aneurysms with bleb formation who underwent endovascular embolization at the...

Abnormal serum sodium levels are frequently observed among patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and may worsen cerebral edema or mass effect. Low serum potassium levels (hypokalemia) are also common among patients with aneurysmal SAH and are associated with prolonged QT interval and ventricular arrhythmia. Recent meta-analysis suggests that MgSO4 infusion improves the clinical...

Intracranial Hypertension Following Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage. In the acute phase after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, secondary brain injuries including posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus, repeat hemorrhage, brain edema, and vasospasmrelated ischemic strokes can lead to intractable intracranial hypertension that can be life-threatening in cases of severely compromised cerebral

This report describes the features and clinical significance of retinal macroaneurysm. Two groups can be defined: those with acute aneurysmal decompensation, Group I; and those with chronic aneurysmal decompensation, Group II. Haemorrhage is the main feature of the former group and exudates of the latter. Systemic and local associations are noted, and guidelines for treatment by phototherapy ar...

We report the nonoperative treatment of a recurrent, multilevel spinal aneurysmal bone cyst by injection of 32P chromic phosphate colloid into the cyst. The patient was then followed up with serial CT examinations, which showed stabilization and progressive ossification within the lesion. The rationale, alternatives, and possible contraindications to radionuclide ablation of spinal aneurysmal b...

Coronary arteriovenous fistula is a rare congenital anomaly that is seen in 0.1 % to 0.2% of coronary angiograms. Aneurysmal formation in the fistula is even rarer. We report a case of congenital circumflex arteriovenous fistula with aneurysmal formation just near its termination in the pulmonary artery, associated with atherosclerotic left anterior descending coronary artery. The anomaly was s...

INTRODUCTION: Aneurysmal bone cyst is an uncommon in skull bone. The reported incidence in the skull is 1% of all aneurysmal bone cysts. Most of the cases are associated secondary phenomenon like pre-existing fibrous dysplasia. We present the imaging features and pathology of a primary ABC of the frontal bone, with no underlying bony abnormality or pre-existing trauma.
