The Third Ventricle Colloid Cyst Spontaneous Rupture Phenomenon: A Rare Clinical Observation and World Literature Review

Mikhail Shkarubo, Alexander Konovalov and Vladimir Tyurin

Article Type: Case Report & Literature Review | First Published: 2024/12/14

Colloid cysts of the third ventricle are rare congenital benign lesions that can cause acute occlusion of CSF pathways with the risk of a fatal outcome. Up to 6% of colloid cysts are asymptomatic, incidental findings. Colloid cysts tend to slowly increase in size over a long period of time. Management of patients with colloid cysts of the third ventricle depends on clinical and radiological findings. Spontaneous shrinkage (rupture) of the colloidal cyst is an extremely rare phenomenon, described...

Application of Continuous Intraoperative Neuromonitoring (cIONM) in the Endovascular Treatment of Pediatric Spinal Arteriovenous Malformation - A Case Report

M. Colosimo, C. Thole, B. Sommer, M.C. Frühwald, A. Berlis and E. Shiban

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: 2024/12/05

Spinal arteriovenous malformations (AVM) are rare vascular occurrences that, if left untreated, can result in devastating neurologic sequelae. Prevalence, especially in the pediatric population, is low but requires prompt diagnosis and management to avoid neurologic impairment. Embolization has been advocated as the treatment of choice for spinal AVMs. We present a rare case of a spinal AVM in an 11-year-old male managed with endovascular embolization during continuous intraoperative monitoring ...

Hidden Hazard of Remote Cerebellar Hemorrhage after Cervical Spine Surgery

Barnabas Obeng-Gyasi, BS, Emma Stephens Love, BA, MS, Mugtaba Swar-Eldahab, MS, Matthew Blackwell, MS and Gordon Mao, MD

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: 2024/10/30

Remote cerebellar hemorrhage (RCH) is a rare but potentially serious complication of spinal surgery, particularly after decompressive procedures and instrumented fusion. The complex interplay between cerebrospinal fluid leaks and hemorrhage risk necessitates a high index of suspicion and prompt management to optimize patient outcomes....

Woven EndoBridge (WEB) Device used for Vertebral Artery Sacrifice

Jason J. Sims, BS, Bhageeradh Mulpur, MD, Nick Khattar, MD and Adam A. Arthur, MD, MPH

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: 2024/10/11

The decision to sacrifice a vessel in the context of endovascular interventions arises from specific clinical indications where alternative treatments pose either higher risks or are simply not feasible. One critical indication is in the control of uncontrolled hemorrhage, particularly in cases of severe vascular trauma or bleeding situations. Additionally, sacrificing a vessel may be considered for managing aneurysms that are difficult to repair surgically or with other endovascular methods, es...
