Article Type: Case Report | First Published: 2024/06/29

We report two cases of a usual saccular cerebral aneurysm with an iatrogenic lacerated aneurysmal neck during surgical clipping. In both cases, the aneurysmal neck was lacerated iatrogenically, and the aneurysm was clipped safely after suturing the lacerated portion. In treatment of a lacerated aneurysmal neck during surgical clipping of usual saccular cerebral aneurysms, the aneurysm may be considered to be clipped after suturing the lacerated portion. However, trapping and/or bypass surgery be...

Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (AT/RT) is a Grade 4 embryonal tumor, rare and aggressive, most often presenting in children 0-5 years of age. In the adult population, AT/RTs are exceedingly rare, and usually located intracranially in the supratentorial compartment. AT/RTs of the spine are even more uncommon. Here, we detail the case of a young adult with AT/RT of the lumbar spine who underwent surgical resection of the lesion followed by radiation and chemotherapy. We also provide a comprehens...
