OBJECTIVE To evaluate the feasibility of using endovascular repair to treat penetrating arterial injuries with covered stents. Feasibility was examined according to the circumferential extent of the injury. INTRODUCTION Surgical trauma often increases the risk of major morbidity and mortality associated with vascular injury, and endovascular repair has many advantages in such situations. ME...

Abstract A revision of the Nabis punctipennis complex is here provided. (Austronabis) subgen. nov. (type species: N. (A.) Blanchard) from South America described based on male and female genitalia. This new subgenus compared with all other subgenera in world a key for 13 composed of: argentinus Meyer-Dur, faminei Stal, paranensis Harris punctipennis. Redescriptions each species are given, image...

Vascular proliferations may arise in the breast following radiation treatment for a primary breast adenocarcinoma. A post-radiation vascular proliferation can usually be classified as angiosarcoma or as an atypical vascular lesion (AVL). Angiosarcomas with a “low-grade” morphology, behave aggressively but exhibit substantial histomorphologic overlap with AVLs, which have a generally benign clin...

Aneurysmal bone cysts mostly occur in long bones and spine. It is relatively rare in the maxillofacial region. In this article, we present a 19-year- old woman with the complaint of swelling in the left mandibular premolar tooth. She had got antibiotic therapy after the diagnosis of dental cellulites. On the X-ray study, a well- defined unilocular bony lesion within the preapical premolar tooth...

A patient with a bilateral frontal vascular lesion, encroaching upon the mesial cortex on the left and damage of the corpus callosum showed the 'alien hand' phenomenon on the right. The various hypotheses as to the nature of the lesion for the alien hand phenomenon to appear are discussed. It is proposed that an acute clinical condition, following a lesion of the corpus callosum only, should be...

INTRODUCTION Epitheloid hemangioendothelioma is a rare vascular soft tissue tumour of intermediate malignant potential. The tumor affects any age group, and liver is the commonest internal organ affected. Bones as calvarium, spine, tibia and femur may also be affected. The lesion can be multifocal in the liver or the same bone itself and can metastasise to lungs. Here we report a rare case of e...

frequent cause of lower intestinal bleed− ing in the elderly. Recent advances in co− lonoscopy have discovered colonic vascu− lar ectasia with increasing frequency. Co− lonic vascular ectasia often presents as multiple reddish, slightly elevated, muco− sal lesions. It may be treated at colonos− copy with laser photocoagulation, heat probe, electrocoagulation, and argon plasma coagulation [1 ± 4...

Pigment villondular synovitis (PVNS) is a rare synovial condition. The nature of this disorder is usually characterized as benign; however, malignant transformation has also been reported. MRI is the diagnostic modality of choice in evaluating this entity, revealing low T1 and T2 weighted signals and blooming artifact on gradient echo sequences.  Three-phase 99mTc-MDP bone scan has b...
