The authors report their experience evaluation, management, long-term follow up these lesions India. Methods Between October 1983 June 2003, 25 patients with VGMs were referred to authors’ institution for evaluation management. Ten children younger than 2 years age presented rapidly increasing head size as chief...

The embolization of vascular tumours the head and neck has become an important adjunct to surgical treatment these tumours. A tumour in region a surgically treatable patient may be candidate for embolization. Palliative sole high risk patients. Reducing intraoperative bleeding shorten surgery time thus decreasing morbidity mortality. purpose this study is assess efficacy as or curative measure management hypervascular We retrospectively reviewed records 46 consecutive patients (27 men 16...

Background: Scalp is the most common site of soft tissue arteriovenous fistulae and surgical excision has been primary mode treatment. Endovascular treatment evolved as an alternative to surgery. Aims: To evaluate effectiveness percutaneous direct-puncture embolization cirsoid aneurysms. Materials Methods: From January 1995 December 2004, 15 patients underwent Plain X-ray, computerized tomography scan complete selective cerebral angiogram were done in all. Seven had forehead lesions, four...

A 23-year-old man developed sudden onset of fever and headache. He was alert but had slight difficulty with naming agraphia acalculia. The provisional diagnosis viral encephalitis. MRI showed a left posterior temporal hemorrhagic infarct thrombosis vein Labbe (figure 1). This confirmed by MR venography 1, D, E) digital subtraction angiography …

Background and Purpose: The role of carotid artery stenting (CAS) as an alternative to endarterectomy in the treatment for symptomatic stenosis is investigated. Materials Methods: Forty-seven patients underwent CAS over 10-year period. Forty-nine vessels were treated. Stenosis quantification was done using North American trial method. mean follow-up period by clinical Duplex examination ranged 5.6 years. Results: technical success rate 100%. There four deaths (8.1%) two (4.1%) minor strokes...

Purpose: Intracranial mycotic aneurysms (IMAs), rare and often life-threatening, result from arterial wall infections typically caused by bacteria such as Staphylococcus Streptococcus. The standard treatment for ruptured is not well-defined individualized. This study investigates the efficacy of endovascular glue embolization in managing IMAs, based on our center’s experience.Materials Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted IMAs treated with between January 2016 December 2023....

Debilitating backache due to different types of vertebral lesions is a common cause morbidity in all age groups. Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PV) gives substantial pain relief and stabilizes the weak vertebrae. Most information regarding PV comes from Western literature. The effect our population should be studied.The primary objective assess therapeutic benefit alleviating back improving functional status patients with painful pathologic secondary objectives are study technical aspects...

We describe a novel technique to retrieve broken catheter fragments from the vascular tree at difficult locations using balloon. A coronary balloon can be taken over microwire into fragment hold it after inflation of and then whole assembly gradually out. used this successfully in three patients where snare failed tree.

The purpose of this study was to assess the safety and long-term efficacy self-expandable stents in treatment benign tracheal stenosis. Nine patients (seven men) with stenosis (including one fistula) varied cause were treated by fluoroscopically guided balloon dilatation stenting metallic stents. procedure carried out under topical spray eight general anaesthesia patient. followed up for a period ranging between 13 60 months. In nine patients, satisfactory positioning stent achieved at first...

We report an unusual case of complete agenesis the right internal carotid artery (ICA) with transsellar anastomosis from cavernous segment contralateral ICA and presence a posterior cerebral aneurysm aberrant origin subclavian artery.

A rare case of multiple cerebral aneurysms associated with Takayasu aortitis is reported. Only seven cases have been reported so far, all which are from Japan. This the first this association being India. 50-year-old hypertensive woman developed sudden onset severe headache and loss consciousness. CT scan revealed subarachnoid haemorrhage in suprasellar cisterns mild hydrocephalus. The patient on admission had a rebleed producing massive haemorrhage. Angiogram occlusion bilateral vertebral...

Spinal epidural abscess is a rare medical emergency which if left untreated results in catastrophic and irreversible neurological damage. Risk factors (compromised immunity, spinal column disruption, source of infection) are present the majority patients. We describe case spontaneous with any identifiable risk factor.

The treatment of aneurysms with characteristics such as complex morphology, fusiform, blister-like, wide neck, or large size has been revolutionized the introduction flow diverters. Though diverters have several advantages over coiling, they also certain important disadvantages lack immediate protection against rupture, risk ischemic stroke, need for antiplatelet therapy, and long latency complete effect. Derivo Embolization Device (DED) is a second-generation self-expanding device that...

Background: Spinal vascular malformations (SVM) are a complex entity and rarely noted in children. They commonly seen the elderly with predilection for thoraco-lumbar region. The incidence varies from 3-11% across all age groups. presenting features initial stages paraplegia, abnormal gait, paraesthesia, radicular pain diffuse sensory symptoms. If not detected early they can lead to further spinal cord compression cause urinary retention, bladder, bowel incontinence or erectile dysfunction....
