Bilateral Internal Carotid Artery Dissection as a Possible Complication in a patient with Covid-19 infections and coughing.

Background: Cervical carotid dissection is one of the causes of ischemic stroke in young people. Most of the patients with carotid dissection do not have connective tissue diseases (Marfan syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome). It seems that dissection may occur without an obvious cause or may follow environmental injuries like vigorous neck movements, chiropractic manipulation, emesis, severe coughs, and some infections.

COVID-19 outbreak as a probable cause of increased risk of intracranial rebleeding in partially treated cerebral arteriovenous malformations.

Patients who are infected with COVID-19 and have cerebral arteriovenous malformations which are partially treated or untreated may be more liable to rupture or bleed than not infected patients.

Treatment of post-traumatic direct carotid-cavernous fistulas using flow diverting stents: Is it alone satisfactory?

Background: Direct carotid cavernous fistula (CCF) occurs between the internal carotid artery (ICA) and the cavernous sinus. Carotid cavernous fistulas (CCFs) frequently present with chemosis, pulsatile proptosis, ocular bruit, vision loss, and occasionally intracerebral hemorrhage or seizure. In this article, we share our experience in endovascular treatment of six patients having this pathology with intracranial flow diverting stents with review of literatures.

Adenosine-induced transient circulatory arrest in transvenous embolization of cerebral arteriovenous malformations.

Due to advances in interventional techniques, the transvenous approach may present an effective treatment option for embolization of brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). Contrary to the transarterial method, the transvenous approach can only be utilized in a specific subset of patients and is not suitable as a standard procedure for all AVM lesions. While this technique can be helpful in certain patients, careful patient selection to ensure patient safety and favorable clinical outcomes is important.

Short-Term Efficacy of Epidural Injection of Triamcinolone Through Translaminar Approach for the Treatment of Lumbar Canal Stenosis.

Background: Epidural steroid injection is a non-operative minimally invasive procedure for pain relief in spinal canal stenosis. However, there is no significant consensus regarding its efficacy.

Objectives: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of translaminar injection of triamcinolone in lumbar canal stenosis.
