Fibrin glue injection has been used to control intraoperative cavernous sinus (CS) venous bleeding. There have been no reported complications related to this maneuver. We present a case where a patient developed a sensory trigeminal nerve deficit after injection of fibrin glue into the posterior CS during resection of a petrosal meningioma. We believe that this deficit was due to the compressio...

Periapical surgery has largely improved at all levels due to new technologies provided by researchers throughout the last years. The aim of this article is to carry out a bibliographic revision of the last seven years. For this reason, we will analyse the studies published in Medline and the most important Spanish dental magazines. The subjects to investigate are mainly based on the incorporati...

The aneurism was unpacking because of vessel caliper and tortuosity, so why we decided to embolize with Onyx 34 because its capability of occluding feeding vessels, preventing retrograde filling of the aneurysm. In order to avoid vessel dissection, Onyx was released as close as possible to the aneurismatic sac with “plug and push” technique [8]. A safe injection rate of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO...

Eighteen patients with a first AMI, who during the acute ischemic phase did not develop ST segment elevation, but only positive or peaked T waves, are described. Patients who do not develop ST segment elevation during evolving anterior AMI represent a subgroup with a high probability of total obstruction of the LAD artery with retrograde filling via collateral vessels and a small degree of left...

The ability to measure pressures within the heart has been one of the most important diagnostic and therapeutic tools within the cardiologist’s armamentarium over the past half century. Whereas this measurement initially required direct left ventricular puncture,1 transeptal catheterization,2 or retrograde placement of a catheter into the left ventricle, the advent of the Swan-Ganz catheter all...

Difficult intravenous (IV) access may be a concern encountered by anaesthesiologists in everyday practice. Peripheral venous catheter placement may be difficult, especially at the extremes of age or if the patient is obese, dark skinned, an IV drug abuser, hypotensive [1]. Currently the methods such as ultrasound, laser rod and local hot compress are adopted to deal with the difficulties but th...

Nephrotic syndrome was experimentally induced by a single i.v. injection of puromyein. Permeability of the visceral epithelial wall of glomeruli was examined with electron microscope. 30-60 seconds prior to fixation, ferritin solution was injected into the urinary space of superficially located glomeruli either by direct micropuncture of the urinary space or by retrograde filling of the urinary...

A 56 years old male with chronic pancreatitis complained of intractable abdominal pain, anorexia, emaciation and peripheral edema. Medical treatment initiated only partial improvement in the general condition and hypoproteinemia. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography revealed multiple filling defects in the dilated main pancreatic duct. Endoscopic aspiration of pure pancreatic juice yi...

In an 18-year-old asymptomatic male athlete, the left anterior descending coronary artery was found to arise from the pulmonary trunk. The remainder of the left coronary arterial tree arose through two stems from the aorta. Collateral retrograde filling of the left anterior descending coronary artery from the right coronary artery and the left circumflex coronary artery was demonstrated, but we...

Radicular cyst is the most common odontogenic cystic lesion of inflammatory origin. It is also known as periapical cyst, apical periodontal cyst, root end cyst, or dental cyst. It arises from epithelial residues in the periodontal ligament as a result of inflammation. The inflammation usually follows the death of dental pulp. This paper presents a case report of a patient with radicular cyst as...
