An Unusual Complication, Rupture of the Intraoperative Ultrasound Probe Sheath: A Case Report

Erkin Ozgiray, Bilal Bahadır Akbulut and Mustafa Serdar Boluk

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: 2024/03/15

Intraoperative ultrasound (USG) imaging is employed by many neurosurgical institutes for localizing lesions with better accuracy in real-time. It’s often used with sterilized probes or purpose-built sterile sheaths. It has also been reported to be used with a sterile latex glove filled with USG gel. We report a case of ruptured intraoperative USG sheath which was made out of a sterile latex glove causing contamination of the surgical field....

Persistent Primitive Trigeminal Artery Aneurysm

Dantas Mageste Ferreira, MD, M.Sc, Lano de Sousa Moreira, MD, Taianne Fiore Schumann, MD, Jéssica Aguilar da Silva, Tarciano Costa Nascimento, MD, André Guimarães Soares, MD, Fernando Miguel Resck Gadbem, MD and Ítalo Guilherme Giarola de Freitas Mariano, MD

The Persistent Primitive Trigeminal Artery (PPTA) is an example of persistent carotid-vertebrobasilar anastomoses, in which the basilar artery and its branches are primarily supplied by an anastomotic arterial branch originating from the cavernous segment of the Internal Carotid Artery (ICA). Such a structure constitutes the largest of fetal carotid-basilar anastomotic arteries and usually involutes after the development of the Posterior Communicating Artery (P-com)....

Rare Galen Vein Aneurysm in a 40-Year-Old Woman: In-Depth Analysis of an Exceptional Case

Dantas Mageste Ferreira, MD, MSc, Vitor de Deus da Rocha Ribeiro Gonçalves, MD, Lano de Sousa Moreira, MD, Taianne Fiore Schumann, MD and Jéssica Aguilar da Silva

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: 2024/02/09

Vein of Galen aneurysm is a rare vascular condition commonly diagnosed in children. This type of aneurysm arises from the persistence of the embryonic median prosencephalic vein, precursor to the Galen vein. This paper highlights the rarity of this phenomenon in a 40-year-old woman. The aim of this study is to demonstrate that conservative treatment of this malformation can be a valid option in oligosymptomatic cases without signs of hydrocephalus....

Recurrent Post-Traumatic Carotid-Cavernous Fistula after Endovascular Treatment

Dantas Mageste Ferreira, MD, MSc, Jéssica Aguilar da Silva, Vitor de Deus da Rocha Ribeiro Gonçalves, MD, Taianne Fiore Schumann, MD and Lano Sousa Moreira, MD

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: 2024/01/24

The High-Flow Type A Carotid-Cavernous Fistula (CCF) is the direct communication between the cavernous segment of the internal carotid artery (ICA) and the cavernous sinus. Its most frequent etiology is trauma, more commonly occurring in males. Clinically, it is characterized by the Dandy triad of hyperemia, exophthalmos, and ocular bruit. The described case involves a male patient who presented with a classic high-flow CCF, underwent coil embolization, showed a satisfactory response in the firs...

Intraoperative Monitoring of Carotid Endarterectomy with Fluorescein Coupled to Surgical Microscope

Dantas Mageste Ferreira, MD, MSc, Marcos Dellaretti, MD, PhD1, Vitor de Deus da Rocha Ribeiro Gonçalves, MD, Lano de Sousa Moreira, MD, Taianne Fiore Schumann, MD and Jéssica Aguilar da Silva

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: 2024/01/14

The article aims to present partial results from an ongoing clinical trial, including fourteen patients undergoing endarterectomy with an innovative technique. The male gender accounted for 71.4% of the sample, with a mean age of 67.93 (± 7.75) years for the patients. Among comorbidities, systemic arterial hypertension was the most prevalent at 85.7%, followed by dyslipidemia at 57.1%. ...

Titanium Interbody Cage: A Case Series Demonstrating Expandable Technology in Spinal Surgery in Peru

Christian A Yataco-Wilcas, Luis A Lengua-Vega, Bruno E Diaz-Llanes, Yosimar S Coasaca-Tito and Cristian E Salazar-Campos

Article Type: Descriptive Study | First Published: 2023/01/07

Lumbar interbody fusion is a common procedure for addressing spinal pathologies, involving the joining of adjacent vertebrae to stabilize and alleviate pain. The evolution of interbody cages has led to the development of expandable designs that allow customization of cage size during surgery to fit each patient's anatomy....
