Diagnostic Role

Introduction : Carotid‐cavernous fistula (CCF) represents a well‐known multifaceted diagnostic challenge starting from clinical presentation till angiography. This case presentation and literature review shed the light on the value of a bedside transcranial duplex (TCD) as a timely and a plausible screening tool. Methods : A case presentation and a brief literature review of CCF diagnosed via transcranial temporal window and made time to angiography shorter than the MRI brain. A review of literature was conducted for the timely diagnostic role of transtemporal TCD compared to transorbital US and an MRI brain. Results : Our case report showed the valuable role of the bedside TCD in diagnosing CCF. There is a limited number of studies which tackled the timely diagnostic role of transtemporal TCD compared to transorbital US and an MRI brain from door to angiography. Conclusions : A large‐sampled randomized controlled trial is needed for evaluating the actual utility of a bed side time and cost‐effective Transtemporal TCD vs other state‐of‐art non‐angiographic diagnostic modalities such as MRI, CT and transorbital US.

Black populations are diagnosed with schizophrenia at a rate that is significantly higher than white populations. This elevated diagnostic rate is often the result of misdiagnosis. This article includes a brief literature review and case presentation highlighting the importance of understanding complex racial trauma when evaluating and treating Black clients.

Orbital AVFs, abnormal vascular connections between orbital arteries and veins, are extremely rare. Often traumatic, few reports of spontaneous orbital fistulas have been reported so far. Treatment is warranted for deteriorating visual symptoms, but obliteration of the fistula can be challenging. We present such a case that symptomatically mirrored a carotid cavernous fistula. A novel approach was used by traversing a thrombosed superior ophthalmic vein to embolize the lesion. In addition, a complete literature review is presented.
