Introduction And Importance: Cervical paragangliomas of the vagus nerve are tumors, of wich the nature and location make them extremely rare, representing only 0.012 % of cervical tumors.

Case Presentation: This article reports the case of a 64 year old patient, consulting for a latero-cervical mass associated with dysphonia, dysphagia, and repeated vagal syncopes, evolving for 10 months.

Article Synopsis
  • Behçet's disease is a systemic blood vessel inflammation with no known cause, primarily affecting young men.
  • Vascular issues mainly involve veins and can lead to thrombosis, while serious arterial problems, though rare, can be life-threatening.
  • The case discussed highlights a young schizophrenia patient with Behçet's disease who developed a false aneurysm in the right renal artery but declined treatment despite experiencing hematuria.

Brachial artery aneurysmal degeneration is an exceptional complication of distal native fistulas. Chronic mechanical stresses due to high flow, as well as immunosuppressants drugs following renal transplantation, are the mains factors implicated in the pathophysiological mechanism. We report a case of a transplant patient with a true, symptomatic, brachial artery aneurysm, 8 years after transplantation and 5 years after radiocephalic wrist fistula ligation.

The creation and preservation of vascular accesses, in patients with end-stage renal failure, remains a challenge for nephrologists and vascular surgeons. Native fistula is the best vascular access, humeral-basilic fistula is a precious access in patients who have exhausted their venous capital in the forearm and in whom the cephalic vein of the arm is small or damaged. Given its deep location, any puncture of this vein is prohibited before its superficialization, even if it is of good caliber, because it can have dramatic consequences, in particular the loss of the limb or even death.

Introduction: Subclavian steal syndrome (SSS) is the hemodynamic phenomenon of blood flow reversal in the vertebral artery due to significant stenosis or occlusion of the proximal ipsilateral subclavian artery.

Materials And Methods: Four patients with subclavian steal syndrome were treated in our center. Percutaneous radial approach was used for angioplasty, primary stenting of subclavian artery was performed, surgical techniques in particular carotid-subclavian bypass and carotid-subclavian transposition were used.

Catheterization of the internal jugular vein is widely performed by both nephrologists and surgeons. It has become a routine procedure, but can be associated with serious complications. Carotid-jugular arterio-venous fistula (CJAVF) is a rare but potentially fatal complication.

Native arteriovenous fistula is the best available vascular access for hemodialysis in end-stage renal failure. It is characterized by higher patency rates and lower rates of morbidity, mortality and complication compared to prosthetic bypass grafts and central venous catheters. Aneurysmal complications remain the main complications of these access with a high risk of rupture and fatal hemorrhage.
