Non-invasive angiographic analysis of dural carotid cavernous fistula using time-of-flight MR angiography and silent MR angiography: a comparative study.

Background: A non-invasive, reliable imaging modality that characterizes cavernous sinus dural arteriovenous fistula (CSDAVF) is beneficial for diagnosis and to assess resolution on follow-up.

Purpose: To assess the utility of 3D time-of-flight (TOF) and silent magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) for evaluation of CSDAVF from an endovascular perspective.

Material And Methods: This prospective study included 37 patients with CSDAVF, who were subjected to digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and 3-T MR imaging with 3D TOF and silent MRA.

Direct Superior Ophthalmic Vein Approach to Treat Anterior Condylar Confluence Dural Arteriovenous Fistula.

Dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) are acquired pathological arteriovenous connections involving vessels that usually supply the meninges. A DAVF in the region of the hypoglossal canal is a rare form of fistula that involves the anterior condylar confluence or anterior condylar vein. We report a case of hypoglossal canal DAVF that was successfully embolized transvenously through a superior ophthalmic vein (SOV) approach.

Endovascular Management of Iatrogenic Vertebral Artery Transection During Anterior Cervical Spine Surgery: A Case Report.

Anterior surgical approaches to the cervical spinal pathology have become a frequently used technique. Anterior cervical spine surgeries are generally considered to be safe with low incidence of neurological complications. Vertebral artery (VA) injuries are infrequent during an anterior cervical spine approach but can be devastating.

An unusual presentation of COVID-19: Acute pancreatitis.

Novel COVID-19 infectious disease typically presents with pulmonary symptoms like cough, shortness of breath, and fever. However, gastrointestinal manifestations of COVID-19 are increasingly being recognized and drawn significant attention. We report an atypical case of acute pancreatitis in a patient with SARSCoV2 infection.

Unusual imaging appearance of a rare cortical ependymoma mimicking angiocentric glioma.

Cortical ependymomas are uncommon lesions. We report a cortical ependymoma displaying an unusual imaging pattern. The lesion demonstrated a T1 hyperintense rim and limited perilesional edema but lacked contrast enhancement.

Isolated hepatobiliary tuberculosis: a diagnostic challenge.

Hepatobiliary system involvement is frequently seen as part of disseminated tubercular infection. But primary isolated hepatobiliary tuberculosis with no evidence of tuberculosis elsewhere in the body is extremely rare. Isolated hepatobiliary tuberculosis can cause diagnostic dilemma as the clinical, laboratory and imaging features are non-specific in majority of the cases.
