Transient vocal cord paralysis after transverse Sinus stenting.

We report the case of a young woman diagnosed with idiopathic intracranial hypertension, who did not tolerate long-term pharmacologic treatment and was deemed a candidate for transverse sinus stenting (TSS). Following the procedure, she developed transient palsies of the 10th and 11th cranial nerves. She underwent orotracheal examination and brain magnetic resonance imaging, which ruled out a local structural etiology or brainstem pathology.

Endovascular treatment of infectious intracranial aneurysms: A single-center experience.

Introduction: Infectious intracranial aneurysms (IIAs), a notable complication of infective endocarditis (IE), pose significant clinical challenges. This study delineates the outcomes, management strategies, and clinical manifestations of IIAs, drawing from a single-center's experience.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective observational analysis at our institution, focusing on patients diagnosed with IE between 2016 and 2022 who were also found to have IIAs.

Necrotizing Pancreatitis: To Anticoagulate or Not to Anticoagulate?

Necrotizing pancreatitis is an inflammatory process that poses a strong risk of systemic venous thromboembolism. However, it is often challenging to opt for systemic anticoagulation since the disease is also associated with an increased risk of hemorrhage. Given these opposing complications, a risk versus benefit analysis has to be employed in the management of necrotizing pancreatitis on a case-by-case basis.
