A posterior perforating artery originating from the dome of a basilar tip aneurysm is reported. The exact origin of this perforator was identified by selective aneurysmography only. This observation provides an argument favoring the consideration of aneurysmographic studies before treatment of large aneurysms located in proximity to areas of normal perforating arteries.

This study aims to identify and yield a better understanding of the origin of the posterior communicating artery, its perforating branches and the relations in the vicinity of that artery. In 30 brains filled with a mixture of latex through the internal carotid and basilar arteries the posterior communicating artery originated from the posterior aspect of the C4 part of the internal carotid art...

BACKGROUND Nonperforating appendicitis is primarily a disease of children, and nonperforating diverticulitis affects mostly older adults. Apart from these age differences, the diseases share many epidemiological features, such as association with better hygiene and low-fiber diets. HYPOTHESIS Nonperforating appendicitis and nonperforating diverticulitis are different manifestations of the sam...

BACKGROUND Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) is one of the most accepted treatment options for varicose veins. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of the new radial fiber slim (ELVeS-radial-slim kit™) for the 1470 nm diode laser in perforator veins with a 1 month follow-up. METHODS Our prospective observational cohort study comprised 69 perforating veins in 55 pati...

PERFORATING keratoplasty is found to be most successful in cases of small central corneal nebulae and keratoconus. In both these conditions the graft lies completely surrounded by healthy cornea. Where there is gross opacification extending widely throughout the thickness of the cornea and especially if degenerative changes are present, then a simple perforating graft rapidly becomes completely...

Linear morphea is a distinct form of morphea that occurs as a linear band usually with a single unilateral distribution. The lower extremities are most often involved. This dermatosis appears as a linear induration not necessarily related to the derm induration. We report herein a case of 20-year-old Iranian girl who had a linear sclerotic patch on right lower extremity with clinical and ...

Acquired perforating collagenosis (APC) is a rare perforating dermatosis characterized by transepidermal collagen elimination. We describe a 65-year-old patient, with long-standing type 2 diabetes mellitus and a 2-year history of itchy hyperkeratotic nodules situated on the back, who was subsequently diagnosed with APC. Treatment included topical corticosteroids and antihistamines, without impr...
