Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related sclerosing disease is rare and is known to involve various organs. We present a case of histologically proven IgG4-related sclerosing disease of the small bowel with imaging findings on computed tomography (CT) and small bowel series. CT showed irregular wall thickening, loss of mural stratification and aneurysmal dilatation of the distal ileum. Small bowel seri...

Subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) is a type of stroke, which occurs when there is bleeding in the subarachnoid space around the brain. The incidence in the UK is approximately 8 per 100,000 population per year (0.008%). The commonest cause of SAH is rupture of a cerebral aneurysm (7085%) other causes include arteriovenous malformations, tumours, trauma and non-aneurysmal perimesencephalic haemorrh...

Aneurysm models were used to study the density of packing after coil embolization. Platinum coils were introduced until the point of minimally dense packing, indicated by aneurysmal circulatory exclusion. Packing was continued up to the point of maximal density, indicated by protrusion into the parent artery. Volumetric ratios (coil volume/aneurysmal volume) were calculated for minimally and ma...

Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) can be devastating and associated intraparenchymal hematomas significantly increase the likelihood of neurological deficit. We report a case of a patient with an aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage and a brainstem hematoma, but suffering only minimal sensory deficits. Our hypothesis is that the apparent brainstem hematoma was actually subarachnoid blood i...

Aneurysmal bone cyst are benign rapidly expanding bone destructive lesions of any bone. They are common in the metaphysis of long bones but 10-30% involve the spine. Cervical region involvement is uncommon. We report a case of aneurysmal bone cyst of clivus C1 and C2 with minimum symptoms. Involvement of C1 and clivus separately had been reported in past, but simultaneous involv...

Imaging of the cerebral vessels with use of CT angiogram (CTA) after placement of aneurysmal clips is often limited by clip artifacts. We used a phantom to demonstrate a visible reduction in metal artifact when using the axial technique, compared with the usual CTA helical acquisition. This approach may have some advantage when used for CTA with 64-section scanners in the specific circumstance ...

AIM This work aims to summarize the experience in emergency microsurgery for patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) that coexisted with brain hernia. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 26 patients with aneurysmal SAH complicated by brain hernia were subjected to emergency aneurysm clamping + decompressive craniectomy. 10 patients were diagnosed with aneurysmal SAH coexisted with ...

BACKGROUND The presence of primary aneurysmal cyst in soft tissues is a extremely rare and its presence in the soft tissues of hand has never been reported in literature before. We report the first ever case of extraosseous aneurysmal cyst in hand. CASE PRESENTATION A twelve years old girl presented with a swelling in the thenar region on palmer aspect of right hand growing slowly since three...

Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABC) are rare and they represent 1- 1.4 % of all primary bone tumors. ABC of cuboid bone are extremely rare, especially in children. Very few cases have been reported in the literature since 1967. We present a case of pathological fracture of cuboid bone due to an aneurysmal cyst in a 10-year-old girl. Surgery was performed, which included open biopsy with aspiration and ...

The patient is a 70-year-old male with no other atherogenic risk factors who presented with an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) of unstable angina subsequently complicated by a non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). The patient's presentation posed 3 unique features: (1) cardiac catheterization demonstrated nonobstructive 3-vessel multi-aneurysmal coronary artery disease with sluggish an...
