Management of a Pseudoaneurysm After Carotid-Esophageal Fistula Repair Secondary to Button Battery Ingestion in an Infant.

Button battery ingestion is a significant cause of pediatric foreign body emergencies, often leading to severe complications. We present the case of an infant who developed a left common carotid-esophageal fistula after button battery ingestion, which was further complicated by the formation of a pseudoaneurysm. The diagnosis was confirmed through follow-up imaging, and the pseudoaneurysm was successfully treated using a flow diversion stent.

Endovascular treatment of sigmoid Sinus diverticulum in patients with pulsatile tinnitus.

BackgroundSigmoid sinus diverticula (SSD) are increasingly recognized among the most common causes of pulsatile tinnitus (PT). However, questions remain regarding their etiopathogenesis and optimal management. This study aims to review and compare management strategies and outcomes of SSD treated endovascularly in patients with PT.

Feasibility of Identifying Acute Nontraumatic Intracerebral Hemorrhage Events Using Diagnostic Coding Among Veterans with Mild Cognitive Impairment or Alzheimer's Dementia.

Introduction: Based on manual review of clinical notes of using the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision coding, we evaluated the feasibility and validity for monitoring, recording, and reporting intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) events in patients with all-cause mild cognitive impairment or Alzheimer's dementia including, but not limited to, patients eligible for anti-amyloid therapy.

Methods: Principal and first-position hospital discharge codes for ICH events for 200 patients were identified from the Veterans Affairs Health System structured administrative database. Clinician manual review of discharge summary notes assessed and confirmed the presence of coded events.

Otosclerosis and Dysplasias of the Temporal Bone.

Many bone dysplasias, some common and others rare, may involve the temporal bone causing conductive, sensorineural, or mixed hearing loss, vestibular dysfunction, or skull base foraminal narrowing, potentially affecting quality of life. Some conditions may affect only the temporal bone, whereas others may be more generalized, involving different regions of the body. High-resolution computed tomography may detect subtle osseous changes that can help define the type of dysplasia, and MR imaging can help define the degree of activity of lesions and potential associated complications.
