AbstractWe report the case of a 3-week-old neonate who presented with massive subarachnoid and intraventricular hemorrhage from a ruptured aneurysm of the anterior communicating artery (ACommA). An attempt on endovascular treatment ended up with therapeutic closure of the parent artery. However, since further investigation revealed a disastrous supratentorial cerebral infarction as a result of the hemorrhage, active treatment was terminated and the neonate died a few days after the initial stroke. To the best of our knowledge and after reviewing available literature, this is one of only five cases of ACommA aneurysm in newborns reported to date. Bleeding from an ACommA aneurysm in a neonate thus represents an extreme clinical rarity. There are no available data comparing the efficacy and safety of microsurgical versus endovascular treatment in neonates and small infants, but the latter option may at least reduce the risk associated with open surgery and further blood loss in this age group.

The incidence of esophageal impacted denture is proportionately increasing as there is increasing number of people wearing denture in current days. Impacted denture has to be removed as soon as possible because the delay can lead to complications. The successful removal of impacted denture in the esophagus in a patient is reported, with a review of the literature. A 52-year-old Malay lady complained of dysphagia with no history of foreign body ingestion. Following unsuccessful attempts of removal via a rigid esophagoscope, open surgery was performed. Without further delay, the impacted denture was removed by cervical esophagotomy, and the patient recovered uneventfully. Esophageal foreign bodies are usually removed by endoscopy. However, in situations where this appears potentially hazardous, such as with impacted denture, open surgical extraction that is promptly performed is a safer option.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Vol. 05 No. 03 July’21 Page: 362-365

Intrauterine transfusion is the most common and successful intrauterine procedure for the treatment of fetal anemia due to red cell alloimmunization. Fetal intracranial hemorrhage is a very rare complication of intrauterine transfusion in patients with Rh(D) alloimmunization and it has been demonstrated only in a few case reports in the literature. Herein, we described a case of grade IV intraventricular hemorrhage that was diagnosed following the first intrauterine transfusion and reviewed the literature about the fetal intracranial hemorrhage that occurred after intrauterine intravascular transfusion procedure.
