A 26-year-old man presented with symptoms of progressive bilateral exophthalmos and swelling of the eyelids after a severe head injury. Angiography confirmed a direct carotid-superior hypophyseal arterial (SHA) cavernous fistula with petrosal sinus and intracavernous sinus drainage. Successful transarterial coil embolization of the fistula was performed with resolution of the patient's symptoms. To our knowledge, post-traumatic arteriovenous fistula between SHA and the cavernous sinus has not been previously reported. We hereby demonstrate an effective, minimally invasive method of occluding a rare fistula by transarterial embolization.

Decompressive craniotomy (DC) is applied to treat post-traumatic intracranial hypertension (ICH). The purpose of this study is to identify prognostic factors and complications of unilateral DC. Eighty-nine patients submited to unilateral DC were retrospectively analyzed over a period of 30 months. Qui square independent test and Fisher test were used to identify prognostic factors. The majority of patients were male (87%). Traffic accidents had occurred in 47% of the cases. 64% of the patients had suffered severe head injury, while pupillary abnormalities were already present in 34%. Brain swelling plus acute subdural hematoma were the most common tomographic findings (64%). Complications occurred in 34.8% of the patients: subdural effusions in 10 (11.2%), hydrocephalus in 7 (7.9%) and infection in 14 (15.7%). The admittance Glasgow coma scale was a statistically significant predictor of outcome ( p=0.0309).

Transarterial embolization (TAE) is a minimally invasive treatment method developed alternative to surgery for acute gastrointestinal bleeding (AGIB). The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and outcome of TAE in AGIB patients. The data of 30 patients who underwent TAE with complaint of AGIB between January 2007- May 2020 was collected retrospectively. The etiology of hemorrhage, localization and type of lesion, embolizing agent used, and postprocedural complications were recorded. Lesions were classified as pseudoaneurysm (PA), extravasation, pathological tumor vascularity and vasospasm. A total of 22 patients, 5 females, were included in the study. The most common underlying cause was tumors (n=15, 50%). The most common lesion detected on angiograms was pathological tumor vascularity. Embolizing agents used were Nbutyl-2-cyanoacrylate in five patients, coils in three patients, polyvinyl alcohol particles in six patients and microsphere in seven patients. The technical success rate was 90.9%, and two patients developed rebleeding in the early postprocedural period. TAE is a safe, effective and minimally invasive method in emergency treatment of patients with AGIB.

The Creation

AbstractEndovascular arteriovenous fistula (endoAVF) creation offers a minimally invasive method for the formation of arteriovenous shunts utilized for hemodialysis. Currently, there exist two similar yet unique devices: WavelinQ and Ellipsys. This review analyzes the anatomy, pre- and postoperative considerations, fistula creation methods, and outcomes associated with endoAVF. Currently, data are limited with regard to clinical efficacy of endoAVFs when compared to surgical AVFs. However, early data suggest endoAVFs are a useful technique in the creation of AVFs.

Post Traumatic

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is described following a road traffic accident in which the patient suffered a severe head injury. The stress reaction was associated with intrusive thoughts and avoidance of cognitive and physical events associated with consequences of the accident. The condition was successfuly treated by behavioural intervention. It seems clear that PTSD can occur even where there is loss of consciousness and organic amnesia for the event and its immediate sequelae.

Minimally Invasive Procedure

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) arthroscopy is considered a safe, minimally invasive procedure for the treatment of certain TMJ derangements. However, as TMJ arthroscopy is being popularized, more complications are being reported. Though exceedingly rare, arteriovenous fistula (AVF) can occur. We describe a case of superficial temporal artery (STA) fistula formation successfully treated with coil embolization.
