Endovascular Management of a Deep Femoral Artery Perforating Branch Pseudoaneurysm after Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Case Study.

Pseudoaneurysm of the profundal femoris artery (PFA) following total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a rare and unusual complication. Awareness of this complication and a high level of suspicion allow early diagnosis and treatment, thereby reducing the morbidity of this condition. We present a case of a pseudoaneurysm of a perforating branch of the PFA after revision THA which was treated successfully by selective coil embolization.

Modern concepts of normal language and impairments.

Language is a primary factor in comprehending the functional organization of the brain. Starting with the static anatomoclinical model, followed by the limited aphasiological model, functional imaging techniques have allowed a more dynamic approach that adds complexity to the study of the interaction between brain and language, and bespeak the influence of parameters such as age, sex, motivation, and stress.

Functional MR imaging in assessment of language dominance in epileptic patients.

The value of functional MR Imaging (fMRI) in assessing language lateralization in epileptic patients candidate for surgical treatment is increasingly recognized. However few data are available for left-handed patients. Moreover determining factors for atypical dominance in patients investigated with contemporary imaging have not been reported.

[Morphological imagery of the occipital lobe].

After reviewing the anatomical and functional aspects of the occipital lobe, the authors detail its gyral and sulcal anatomy using MRI in the three planes, with particular attention given to the localization of the calcarine fissure.
