Development of a cluster-like headache after a stent-assisted implantation of an endovascular WEB device.

After interdisciplinary consent, a male patient in his 50s received endovascular treatment of an innocent supraophthalmic aneurysm of the internal carotid artery with a WEB (woven endo bridge) device and stenting. In the medical history, a migraine with aura was reported. A week after intervention, the patient developed an ipsilateral cluster-like headache responsive to classical interventions.

Neural Correlates of Oral Stereognosis-An fMRI Study.

Oral stereognosis is the ability to recognize, discriminate and localize a bolus in the oral cavity. Clinical observation indicates deficits in oral stereognosis in patients with vascular or neurodegenerative diseases particularly affecting the parietal lobes. However, the precise neural representation of oral stereognosis remains unclear whereas the neural network of manual stereognosis has already been identified.

Mortality and cardiorespiratory complications in trochanteric femoral fractures: a ten year retrospective analysis.

Purpose: Despite intense research and innovations in peri-operative management, a high mortality rate and frequent systemic complications in trochanteric femoral fractures persist. The aim of the present study was to identify predictive factors for mortality and cardio-respiratory complications after different treatment methods in a ten year period at a level I trauma centre.

Methods: Retrospectively, all patients above 60 years of age with trochanteric femoral fracture between January 2000 and May 2011 were analyzed at a level I trauma centre.
