Today, the DIEP flap (deep inferior epigastric artery perforator flap) is becoming most popular method of breast reconstruction after mastectomy. The next step in evolution this should be to improve its sensitivity postoperative period. Recovery reconstructed mammary gland improves quality life patients, as well restores protective function skin. In addition, tactile plays a very important role...

The Hughes-Stovin syndrome is a rare entity characterized by deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary artery aneurysms of unknown etiology and pathogenesis. Some authors considered a variant of Behcet's disease. Its natural course is usually fatal. The symptoms are cough, dyspnea, hemoptysis, chest pain and fever. The treatment goes from steroids and cytotoxic agents to surgery. We present the case o...

Purpose: The study of the features of the blood supply of a penis of the man. Material and methods: Macromicropreparation, angiography, corrosion method, morphometry, statistical method. Results: The penis has three venous collector-executing outflow of blood. First of them is submitted surface dorsal vein, which is shaped from small-sized venous vessels of skin, subcutaneous fat and surface fa...

Posterior cerebral artery (ACP) aneurysms account for less than 2% of all aneurysms. The fronto-temporo-zygomatic approach allows access to the cranial base with parenchymal damage. Endoscopy you visualize deep structures. Fluorescein verify permeability after clipping.

18 SAJS VOL 52 NO. 1 FEBRUARY 2014 Major coronary arteries have a subepicardial course through subepicardial fat and only dip into the myo­ cardium at or near their termination.[1­2] However, sometimes a variable segment of the epicardial artery can have a long intramural course or lie under a short band of cardiac muscle.[3­6] This anatomical arrangement has been variously described as an intr...

Vascularized free flaps have become the gold standard in reconstructing large segmental mandibular defects; however, even when bony union and soft-tissue coverage is achieved, insufficient bone stock and altered facial contour can create functional and cosmetic problems for the patient. There have been limited case reports on the use of secondary distraction osteogenesis to address these issues...

The vein of Galen is the largest of the deep cerebral veins formed posterior to the pineal body by confluence of the two internal cerebral veins. It curves sharply upward around the splenium of the corpus collosum and drains the deep medially located veins of the diencephalon, basal ganglia, and mid brain. Dilatation of the vein of Galen results from the force of arterial blood either directly ...

A 55-year-old man with a palpable pulsatile mass and pain in his left thigh was presented to us. He had no history of trauma in his left leg, interventions, operation, or medical diseases, including cardiac valve disease, endocarditis, and systemic infection. The size of the aneurysm was 10 cm×7 cm with a mural thrombus in ultrasonography and multidetector computer tomography. There was no evid...

BACKGROUND Aneurysms arising from lenticulostriate artery branches in moyamoya-type disease are challenging lesions to treat, due to their fragility and deep location. Surgery is difficult and endovascular options may be limited. METHODS A 57-year-old woman presented with a right ganglionic parenchymal hemorrhage due to a ruptured lenticulostriate artery aneurysm associated with ipsilateral m...
