The clinical image illustrates an unusual case of a patient with bilateral carotid artery dissection caused by compression from elongated styloid processes. In this case, the diagnosis was overlooked eight years earlier. Eagle's syndrome, marked by an elongated styloid process, can result in cervical artery dissection, highlighting the significance of recognizing this correlation in recurrent cases, which occur more frequently than idiopathic ICA dissections.

The origin of infection can either be primary or secondary to an infection at another location. The site of primary infection - due to the proximity, often the oral cavity, the sinuses, and the orbit - determines the causative pathogens.

Article Synopsis
  • This study looked at unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) to see when treatment might need to change from watching to doing surgery.
  • Researchers reviewed cases from 2006 to 2022 and found that only 10 out of 144 patients needed a change in treatment after follow-up.
  • The main reasons for the changes were growth of the aneurysm or changes in its shape, but none of the patients had a rupture during the study.

The endovascular approach has emerged as standard therapy for many intracranial aneurysms (IAs) to prevent hemorrhage, yet its long-term durability varies considerably. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of an initially deliberate endovascular approach regarding IA hemorrhage rates over a long-term follow-up period. This retrospective single-center study included all consecutive patients with endovascularly treated IAs who presented between January 2008 and December 2020 with a follow-up of at least 12 months.
