Collateral damage: a case report of vertebral artery dissection and stroke in the young with persistent primitive trigeminal artery.

Stroke in the young is an uncommon condition resulting in significant morbidity and as result trammels the integrity of healthcare systems [1]. We present an unusual case of a 37-year-old male presenting with neurologic signs of right parietal lobe infarction with evidence of vertebral artery dissection and persistent carotid-vertebrobasilar anastomosis as a conduit for thromboembolism.

An Investigative Study of Hepatic Arterial Anomalies in a West Indian Population.

Purpose: There are many known variations in the arterial supply to the liver. We sought to document the incidence and details of anomalies of the extrahepatic arteries in an unselected population in the West Indies.

Methods: This study spanned 24 months.

Anatomic variations of the intra-hepatic biliary tree in the Caribbean: A systematic review.

Background: In the classic descriptions of the human liver, the common hepatic duct forms at the confluence of left and right hepatic ducts. Many authors have documented variations in the intra-hepatic ductal system, but to the best of our knowledge there has been no report on bile duct variations in Caribbean populations.

Aim: To evaluate the variations in bile duct anatomy using magnetic resonance cholangiography (MRC) in unselected patients at a major hepatobiliary referral centre in the Eastern Caribbean.

A pictorial review of the less commonly encountered patterns of metastatic prostate carcinoma.

Usually late in the course of advanced prostate carcinoma, atypical nodal and distant metastases may be encountered. Accurate characterisation of disease spread and assessment of disease response have significant treatment and prognostic implications. Surveillance imaging, therefore, along with clinical and biochemical parameters, is a key factor in directing appropriate management.

Venous drainage of the left liver: an evaluation of anatomical variants and their clinical relevance.

Aim: To evaluate the variations in venous drainage from the left liver.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective evaluation was performed of all consecutive abdominal computed tomography (CT) examinations at a tertiary referral facility between 1 January and 30 June 2018. Osirix (Pixmeo SARL, Bernex, Switzerland) was used to examine the major hepatic veins and their tributaries in each scan.
