Iliac venous aneurysms are rare vascular abnormalities that may be manifested by abdominal masses, pelvic tenderness, or hypovolemia and may lead to rupture, thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, paradoxical embolism, or death. Inferior vena cava agenesis, like venous aneurysm, is an uncommon condition that may present with deep venous thrombosis. This report describes a patient with inferior vena ca...

Vein of Galen abnormality is a rare congenital malformation of blood vessels of the brain and while often referred to as "Vein of Galen aneurysm" its is really not an aneurysm but usually an arteriovenous (AV) malformation. The following case report will be of interest to sonographers as it demonstrates early prenatal diagnosis of this intracranial vascular abnormality causing cardiac overload ...

BACKGROUND Superior mesenteric artery aneurysm (SMAA) is an uncommon vascular disorder. Complications such as rupture have been reported. Once complication has been encountered both surgical and endovascular treatment techniques can be considered. CASE REPORT We present a case of 68-year old male patient with SMAA rupture treated by endovascular modality. CONCLUSIONS Endovascular therapy is...

A knowledge of the variations of renal vascular anatomy has importance in exploration and treatment of renal trauma, renal transplantation, renovascular hypertension, renal artery embolization, angioplasty or vascular reconstruction for congenital and acquired lesions, surgery for abdominal aortic aneurysm and conservative or radical renal surgery (Sampaio & Aragão,1990; Satyapal et al., 1999; ...

Focal nodular hyperplasia of the liver, neoplasia of the brain, and intracranial vascular malformations have recently been described as a new syndrome. We report three cases of focal nodular hyperplasia of the liver with intracranial vascular anomalies. Two patients died from ruptured berry aneurysm. It is important to consider intracranial pathology in patients with focal nodular hyperplasia o...

Results The primary vascular diagnosis was abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in combination with cerebrovascular and peripheral vascular disease in 105 patients (mean age, 67 years), cerebrovascular disease (CVD) in 677 (mean age, 64 years), and lower extremity ischemia (ASO) in 693 (mean age, 61 years), and combination of cerebrovascular and periferial vascular disease in 365 patients (mean age ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to compare the volumetric results of intracranial aneurysms obtained by calculation of the volume of an ellipsoid with those obtained with 3D rotational angiography (3D-RA). METHODS First, the precision of 3D-RA in the assessment of volumetric measurement of intracranial aneurysm had to be established. The 3D-RA gave an overestimation of 4%...

This literature review article focuses on revascularization in neurosurgery for the management of cerebral vascular diseases. The pathophysiology conditions, such as strokes and aneurysms, is discussed various surgical techniques used are discussed, including direct indirect revascularization, clipping, aneurysm coiling. relevance Dr. Edgar Nathal Vera this field highlighted. Although offers be...
