Article Abstract
Objective: The flow diverter (FD) is a promising device. Apart from two main complications, hemorrhagic and ischemic ones, stent migration is reportedly an unusual complication. In particular, distal migration of the FD has rarely been reported. We report a case of asymptomatic acute distal migration of the flow-redirection endoluminal device (FRED).
Case Presentation: A 50-year-old woman was incidentally diagnosed with an unruptured right internal carotid-ophthalmic artery aneurysm with a maximum diameter of 8.0 mm, and she subsequently underwent endovascular treatment with FRED. Based on the vessel diameter (3.8 mm proximal and 3.6 mm distal to the aneurysm), a 4.0-mm-diameter and 18-mm-long FRED was deployed without postoperative complications. However, on MRA 12 months after treatment, the aneurysm was not occluded; angiography showed distal migration of the FRED. The postoperative MRA and skull X-ray images were retrospectively reviewed to determine the period of the migration. The skull X-ray images and the signal loss area due to the FRED on MRA 1 day after the treatment had already demonstrated the migration of the FRED. In the second treatment, a 4.0-mm-diameter and 23-mm-long FRED was deployed in an overlapping fashion up to the proximal part of the carotid siphon. Prompt identification of distal migration of the FD without neurologic signs could be challenging.
Conclusion: It is important to follow up meticulously with MRA and skull X-ray images after FD treatment for detecting stent migrations as early as possible.

Functional Outcome of Radius and Ulnar Shaft Fractures Treated With Intramedullary Kirschner's Wire Fixation in Children.

Introduction: Fractures are a common occurrence in childhood, with approximately one-third of boys and girls sustaining at least one fracture before the age of 17. Both-bone forearm fractures, particularly those involving the radius and ulna, are more common in the non-dominant hand and in boys and usually involve the distal portions of both bones. If not properly treated, these injuries can have a significant impact on limb function.

The presence of a fourth supernumerary molar in the mandible represents a rare anomaly of dentofacial development. Here, we describe an exceptional, previously unreported case of a 33-year-old man with a solitary ectopic supernumerary fourth molar located in the sigmoid notch, which was associated with a dentigerous cyst. In addition, a review of the literature related to this uncommon and atypical clinical presentation is provided.

Surgical clip migration to the common bile duct is a rare late complication, typically originating from clips placed at the cystic duct and most commonly reported after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. We present an exceptionally rare case of obstructive jaundice caused by clip migration from the liver dissection plane, rather than from the cystic duct, occurring 12 years after laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) and cholecystectomy and associated with chronic biliary inflammation. A 73-year-old man underwent LLR of segments 4a + 5 and cholecystectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma and was discharged on postoperative day 12 without any complications.

Background: The gastrointestinal (GI) microbiota, composed of diverse microbial communities, is essential for physiological processes, including immune modulation. Strains such as Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 support gut health by reducing inflammation and resisting pathogens. Microbial therapies using such strains may restore GI balance and offer alternatives to antibiotics, whose overuse contributes to antibiotic resistance.

Non-palpable migrated contraceptive implants pose significant challenges for removal and are associated with neurovascular complications. Traditional open surgery near nerves is associated with postoperative morbidity. Migrated or deeply embedded implants near critical structures can result in severe complications, such as neuropathy, and their removal typically requires open surgical intervention.
