The patient reported a 4-year history of the painless canthal lesion gradually increasing in size with progressively obstructed peripheral vision. On examination, the cream-colored cyst measured 10 × 8 mm.

Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is a common complication following anatomic lung resection, contributing to increased morbidity and mortality, prolonged hospital stays, and higher healthcare costs. Despite its frequency, there remains limited consensus on optimal pharmacologic management in this population, particularly in the context of balancing efficacy with the unique risks associated with thoracic surgery. This report aims to draw attention to the clinical significance of POAF in thoracic surgery, particularly following pulmonary resections, by presenting a representative case and contextualizing it through a focused review of current literature and consensus guidelines.

This systematic review aims to describe the anatomical variations of the internal carotid artery (ICA) and their implications for clinical practice and surgical planning. The ICA, a major vessel supplying the brain, exhibits considerable anatomical variability that can impact the safety and efficacy of procedures involving the neck region and skull base. A comprehensive search of eight databases from 2015 to 2024 yielded 379 studies, of which eight met the inclusion criteria.

One of the relatively common anatomical variants of coronary vessels that is often overlooked in clinical practice is coronary artery tortuosity (CAT). CAT can have a significant impact on coronary blood flow and procedural outcomes during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). It is defined by bends, curves, or loops within the coronary vasculature that can lead to increased vascular resistance.
