Usefulness of a Curved Multiple Reconstruction Image for Transarterial Intravenous Coil Embolization of a Dural Arteriovenous Fistula of the Sphenobasal Vein: A Case Report.

Hemorrhagic isolated dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) are often challenging to treat. Here, we report a case of the lateral cavernous sinus (CS) DAVF successfully treated by transarterial intravenous coil embolization using a curved multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) image assistance. A 54-year-old man presented with a severe headache and was diagnosed with subarachnoid hemorrhage caused by CSDAVF.

Spinal cord herniation with characteristic bone change: a case report.

Spinal cord herniation (SCH) is a rare disease characterized by herniation of the thoracic spinal cord through an anterior dural defect, presenting with progressive myelopathy. A case of a 69-year-old woman who presented with Brown-Sequard syndrome and a bone defect, in which an osteophyte created a hemisphere-like cavity with spinal cord herniation, is presented. The strangled spinal cord was released, and the defect was closed microsurgically using an artificial dural patch to prevent re-herniation.

Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia at the superior orbital fissure: report of a case successfully treated with gamma knife radiosurgery.

Background: An intracranial lesion of intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (IPEH) is extremely rare and often difficult to resect completely. We describe a case in which a lesion at the superior orbital fissure was successfully treated by postoperative radiosurgery.

Case Description: A 41-year-old woman presented with progressive left abducens nerve paresis and left facial sensory disturbance over a 1-year period.
