Anatomical and surgical considerations for Bow Hunter's syndrome in an elderly patient.

Bow Hunter's syndrome (BHS) is an uncommon condition characterized by impingement of one of the two vertebral arteries induced by cervical rotation, causing symptomatic vertebrobasilar insufficiency of the posterior cerebral circulation. We report a case of BHS in an 84-year-old male. Two months following a motor vehicle accident, the patient presented to an urgent care facility with subsequent transfer to the emergency department with complaints of lightheadedness upon right-lateral head movement.

A complicated presentation of vertebral coccidioidomycosis dissemination: A case report and discussion.

Coccidioidomycosis, also known as San Joaquin Valley fever, is an illness caused by the dimorphic fungus Coccidioides. Coccidioidomycosis is endemic to desert regions of the Western Hemisphere, including California, Arizona, Utah, Nevada, and New Mexico. We report a case of disseminated coccidioidomycosis in a 42-year-old male.

Aplastic Internal Carotid Artery: A Potentially Catastrophic Vascular Anomaly.

Congenital absence of an internal carotid artery (ICA) is a rare vascular anomaly and occurs in less than 0.01% of the population. We report a case of aplastic internal carotid artery in a 34-year-old female.
