The authors report an extremely rare case of spinal intraosseous epidural arteriovenous fistula (AVF) with perimedullary vein reflux causing symptoms of myelopathy. The intraosseous fistula tracts were completely obliterated with Onyx embolic agent, resulting in a total resolution of symptoms. The unique features of this case include the rare location of the fistula in the vertebral body and the association of the fistula with a compressive fracture. Imaging studies confirmed these hemodynamic findings and provided clarity and direct evidence regarding the association of epidural AVF formation with the vertebral compressive fracture. The authors also propose a possible disease evolution based on the previously adduced reflux-impending mechanism.

AbstractTransradial access is the commonly followed route for performing percutaneous coronary diagnostic and angioplasty interventions. Transradial access has drastically decreased the vascular access site complications when compared with the transfemoral access. Arteriovenous fistula developing at the transradial access site is one of the rare complications. The risk factors and the mechanism of development are not entirely known. We present a rare case of a 63-year-old female developing radiocephalic fistula a few days after transradial coronary angiography and discuss management.The transradial route is preferred for cardiovascular interventions. Complications arising out of this are rare even though this route is widely used. Arteriovenous fistula is one of the rare complications, and the mechanisms causing it are not always clearly evident. This report will elaborate on the possible causes and steps to prevent this complication and help in managing once it occurs.

Although the incidence of retained surgical items (RSIs) is low, it is nevertheless an important preventable cause of patient injury that can ultimately lead to the patient's death and to subsequent high medical and legal costs. Unintentional RSI is the cause of 70% of re-interventions, with a morbidity of 80% and mortality of 35%. The most common RSIs are sponges or gauze (gossypiboma or textiloma), while retained surgical instruments and needles are rare. Perioperative counting of equipment and materials is the most common method of screening for RSIs, while a diagnosis can later be confirmed by the clinical appearance and by imaging studies. We present a rare case of a 43-year-old patient who was admitted to our hospital because of two retained needles following a cesarean section, despite several subsequent laparotomies. One needle had been removed previously, but in addition to the remaining needle, we also removed a retained gauze. The diagnosis of RSIs is extremely important, and safe surgical practices including the addition of new imaging technologies should be encouraged to detect RSIs.

Rare Case Report

Colonic lipomas are uncommon nonepithelial neoplasms that are typically sessile, asymptomatic and incidentally found during endoscopy, surgery, or autopsy. We present a very rare case of a 34-year-old female patient with symptomatic pedunculated cecal lipoma causing intermittent colo-colonic intussusception. Despite adequate imaging studies, definite preoperative diagnosis was not established and the patient underwent exploratory laparotomy. Intraoperatively, intussusception of the cecum into the ascending colon was found and right hemicolectomy was performed. Macroscopic assessment of the resected specimen showed the presence of a giant cecal pedunculated polypoid tumor with features of lipoma, causing intussusception. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of pedunculated cecal lipoma.

AbstractIntracranial pial arteriovenous fistula (PAVF) is a rare cerebrovascular pathology characterized by abnormal direct high-flow connection between the pial or cortical feeding artery and draining vein. Dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) is a pathological shunt between the meningeal arteries and dural sinuses or meningeal veins. In case of association between PAVF and DAVF, diagnosis and treatment are more challenging. The high-flow arteriovenous shunt and deep venous drainage make PAVF more preferable for endovascular treatment; however, their embolization during single-session procedures can lead to extensive thrombosis of the draining veins and unfavorable outcomes. We present a case report of endovascular embolization of an intracranial PAVF–DAVF in a 2.5-year-old child. At the time of admission, the patient had hydrocephalus, mental retardation, pyramidal insufficiency, and seizures. Occlusion of the fistula was performed during two stages of embolization to reduce the risk of severe venous stasis and venous thrombosis. Guglielmi detachable coils (GDCs) and a liquid embolic agent (Histoacryl with Lipiodol) were used for embolization. The patient recovered well after the procedure, with significant mental improvement. This suggests that the deployment of GDCs in the afferent artery near a fistula before embolization with a liquid embolic agent can minimize the risk of uncontrolled penetration of the embolization into the draining veins and dural sinus. A multisession procedure can be an effective and reasonable method of PAVF and DAVF occlusion among existing treatment options.
