Multiple Visceral Artery Aneurysms: An Uncommon Manifestation of Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody Vasculitis.

The antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis mainly affect small vessels. They are an exceptional etiology of visceral artery aneurysms, which are themselves unusual and potentially serious vascular disease. We report the case of a patient followed for vasculitis associated with ANCA with kidney disease who presented with symptomatic aneurysm of the inferior mesenteric artery and aneurysm of the superior mesenteric artery.

[Peripheral arterial pseudo-aneurysm in Behçet's disease: Report of two cases].

Behçet's disease is a systemic vasculitis of unknown etiopathogenesis. Arterial events such as pseudo-aneurysms are rare and may be the mode of occurrence of the disease. These pseudo-aneurysms tend, regardless of size, to progress rapidly to life-threatening rupture.

[Coil embolization therapy in post-traumatic pseudoaneurysms and arteriovenous fistula of knee and leg arteries].

Pseudoaneurysms remain a rare complication of knee and leg trauma. They may go unnoticed and manifest late after the initial trauma; they are often associated with arteriovenous fistula. No standard treatment is recognized.

[Endovascular treatment of acute limb ischemia occurred after popliteal stent fracture].

Angioplasty stenting of popliteal artery lesions is a common procedure in endovascular surgery. Stent fractures in popliteal artery maybe asymptomatic or cause restenosis, false-aneurysm or acute thrombosis. We report one case of acute limb ischemia occurred after a popliteal stent fracture placed four months earlier.

[An aortic and femoral aneurysm revealing Behçet's disease].

Vascular involvement in Behçet's disease is rare, but may be inaugural in many cases. We report a case of Behçet's disease revealed by two pre-rupture aneurysms - a subrenal abdominal aortic aneurysm and a femoral aneurysm. This patient had only one of the International Study Group for Behçet's disease diagnostic criteria: pseudofolliculitis.

Endovascular Treatment of 2 True Degenerative Aneurysms of Superficial Femoral Arteries.

We report the rare observation of a 58-year-old patient presenting 2 degenerative aneurysms of the superficial femoral arteries, with a rupture of the right aneurysm, treated by covered stents, with a satisfying midterm follow-up. The endovascular approach is a minimally invasive procedure which should be proposed as the first-line treatment to all the patients presenting aneurysms of the superficial femoral arteries, both asymptomatic as complicated.

Munchausen syndrome revealed by subcutaneous limb emphysema: a case report.

Introduction: Limb subcutaneous emphysema secondary to a Munchausen syndrome represents a rare and severe entity because it involves the functional prognosis of the limb and vital prognosis of the patient.

Case Presentation: We report the case of an 18-year-old Moroccan woman patient who presented to our hospital with a subcutaneous emphysema of the shoulder girdle and the right arm, caused by our patient. Treatment was aggressive, with a wide surgical debridement, parenteral antibiotic therapy and hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

[Endovascular treatment of intra-thoracic left subclavian artery aneurysm].

Aneurysms of the subclavian artery are rare, and remain asymptomatic until complications. We report one case of atherosclerotic aneurysm of the proximal portion of the left subclavian artery fortuitously discovered and successfully treated by endovascular stent graft. This case report aims to illustrate endovascular procedures in the management of difficult access lesions or in high-risk surgical patients.

Acute systemic embolism due to an idiopathic floating thrombus of the thoracic aorta: success of medical management: a case report.

Background: Idiopathic thoracic aortic mural thrombi are rare. They can be responsible for dramatic systemic embolization. Early treatment is imperative because of their high morbidity and mortality rate.

[The aneurysms of digestive system arteries: three cases].

The aneurysms of digestive arteries are a rare pathological entity, with a risk of rupture associated to a high mortality rate, often asymptomatic, then they are discovered incidentally during a exam for other diagnostic purposes. We report three cases of digestive aneurysms, one of celiac trunk, one of mesenteric artery on behçet disease, and one of splenic artery, which were treated surgically with success.

[Infected aneurysm of a branch of the superior mesenteric artery].

Aneurysm of the superior mesenteric artery is a rare finding. The risk of rupture is difficult to predict and manage. We report the case of a young woman who developed an aneurysm of the superior mesenteric artery in a context of bacterial endocarditis.

Late complication of a femoral monitoring catheter: a case of femoral false aneurysm treated surgically.

Femoral false aneurysms are rare. They are one of the main complications of femoral catheterization, trauma of this area, or the use of intravenous drugs. They usually occur in the days after femoral puncture, and only rarely occur years after the procedure or incident.

[Cervical paragangliomas: surgical experience with 12 cases].

We report a retrospective analysis of 12 patients who underwent vascular surgery for cervical paraganglioma at the Mohammed V Military Hospital at Rabat from 1996 to 2011. There were seven women and five men, mean age 46 years. All patients presented a tumor syndrome.
