True arterial aneurysms of the upper extremity are rare. The case described is that of a 48-year-old man presenting with median neuropathy and distal vascular compromise 4 years after ligation of a brachiocephalic arteriovenous fistula. We describe our approach and present a review of the relevant literature.

Background: Spigelian hernia best described as spontaneous lateral ventral hernia is an extremely rare type of hernia. The anatomical peculiarities and diagnostic challenges need to be understood in order to surgically mange this hernia. Introduction: Spigelian hernia occurs through a defect in the spigelian fascia typically lying in the spigelian zone. Case report: A case of a large incarcerated spigelian hernia is presented to highlight the diagnostic and anatomical peculiarities of this hernia. Discussion: The anatomical basis of this hernia along with clinical presentation, diagnostic modalities and treatment options is discussed. Conclusion: Clinical suspicion confirmed by imaging is necessary for diagnosis. Surgery is the mainstay of treatment.

An anomalous common trunk giving rise to bilateral intercostal arteries at multiple levels is exceedingly rare and its association with spinal filar AVF and low-lying cord has not been reported so far. Here, we report this uncommon anatomical variation in a 60-year-old male who presented with paraplegia and on imaging found to have low-lying spinal cord with filar AVF and venous congestive myelopathy and discuss its embryological basis and associated malformations. Although rare, interventional radiologists should be aware of this entity, as these trunks may be a major source of bleeding in patients with hemoptysis, and also may be involved in vital spinal cord supply.

Generally, the most common triggers for Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) are infectious diseases, such as Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) or pneumonia. However, emphysematous infections are significant diseases rarely associated with DKA. Here, we present two cases of emphysematous urinary tract infection associated to diabetic ketoacidosis, highlighting the importance of a timely intervention and treatment. We review the need for appropriate laboratory and image testing in the context of infected patients who do not reach inflammatory/ glycemic goals to diagnosticate complicated infectious processes. This case report and mini-review also explore pathophysiology, the association of DKA and urinary emphysematous infections and treatment options.
