Effect of Gabapentin vs Pregabalin on Pain Intensity in Adults With Chronic Sciatica: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Importance: Optimal pharmacologic treatment for chronic sciatica (CS) is currently unclear. While gabapentin (GBP) and pregabalin (PGB) are both used to treat CS, equipoise exists. Nevertheless, pharmaceutical regulation authorities typically subsidize one drug over the other.

Optic Nerve Sheath Dural Arteriovenous Fistula Misdiagnosed As A Carotid Cavernous Fistula.

Dural arteriovenous fistulas (dAVf) are uncommon, acquired vascular lesions. Their location and vascular anatomy produces varied signs and symptoms and are misdiagnosed as other vascular anomalies. We present an atypical case of a dAVf identified along the left optic nerve sheath.

Spontaneous Resolution of Lumbar Facet Joint Cyst.

Background: Juxtafacet cysts (JFCs) are uncommon spinal lesions that can cause neural compression and are typically managed surgically. Rarely, JFCs can spontaneously resolve.

Case Description: We present the case of a spontaneously resolving right L4/5 JFC in an otherwise fit and well 60-year-old female.
