Article Synopsis
- - A 70-year-old man with diabetes experienced severe chronic headaches, which were diagnosed as central skull base osteomyelitis, a rare complication of ear infections.
- - Imaging techniques revealed a hypermetabolic mass affecting various bones around the skull base, indicating significant damage and invasion.
- - The case highlights the importance of thorough clinical and imaging evaluations for diabetic or immunocompromised patients presenting with chronic headaches and ear pain, to consider the possibility of skull base osteomyelitis.
Objectives: Reducing the rate of postoperative stroke after cardiac surgery remains challenging, especially in patients with occlusive cerebrovascular disease. Angioplasty in all patients with high-grade carotid artery stenosis has not been shown to be effective in reducing the post-surgical stroke rate. In this study, we present the initial results of a different approach using selective carotid angioplasty only in patients with poor intracranial collaterals.

Methods: The HBS is a dual strategy based on a preoperative vascular work-up of the cerebral circulation by transcranial Doppler and a perioperative monitoring of the cerebral circulation by cerebral oximetry. Duplex of the carotid arteries and/or computed tomography angiography prior to surgery was performed in high-risk patients.
Background: Intra-arterial treatment is gaining importance in acute ischemic stroke, but its role in patients with apparent occlusion of the extracranial internal carotid artery (ICA) on computed tomographic angiography (CTA) is inconclusive.
Objective: To review retrospectively the results of intra-arterial treatment in patients with stroke and apparent extracranial ICA occlusion.
Methods: In more than 3000 patients with stroke admitted to our institution during 2008-2013, and the subgroup with suboptimal results after intravenous thrombolysis (IVT), CTA showed the absence of contrast in the extracranial ICA in 16 patients.
Background: Though thyroid growths are considered to be a frequent cause of Horner's syndrome, concurrent headache attacks are not commonly seen.
Case: A 63-year-old woman presented with severe, daily occurring, unilateral headache attacks with ipsilateral Horner's syndrome. Magnetic resonance imaging arteriography showed a multinodular goiter displacing the left common carotid artery.
