Late presentation of hepatic pseudoaneurysm after liver trauma: a case of misdiagnosed cholecystitis and successful endovascular embolization.

Hepatic artery pseudoaneurysms are a significant health concern, often incidentally discovered during computed tomography (CT) scans, as their exact incidence rate remains unknown. The most common symptoms of a pseudoaneurysm are hematemesis, abdominal pain, anemia and jaundice. A triad of right upper quadrant pain, jaundice and overt upper gastrointestinal bleeding is a classic presentation of the condition, which occurs in only a third of patients with hemobilia.

Nodular Proliferation in Parkes Weber Syndrome.

Parkes Weber syndrome (PWS) is characterized by the association of high flow vascular malformation and overgrowth of a part of the body, usually a limb. In a previous review of 10 patients with PWS from our hospital we described a case of congenital short femur and four cases of severe lymphedema. We present a case of PWS associated with a nodular proliferative form not previously described.

Submandibular approach and use of Ligasure(®) system in a complex carotid paraganglioma.

Unlabelled: Carotid paragangliomas are rare tumors of slow growth, progressive, and highly vascularized; surgery is the chosen treatment, and most surgeons perform an approach with a longitudinal cervicotomy.

Objective: We present a case of carotid paraganglioma Shamblin III with skull base extension.

Methods: Submandibular approach and vascular sealing device of the Ligasure(®) system were used in the surgery.
