Prevalence of Anterior Inferior Cerebellar Artery Vascular Loop in Cerebellopontine Angle With Three-Dimensional Constructive Interference in Steady State (CISS) Sequence MRI.

Background The cerebellopontine angle (CPA) cistern houses vital neurovascular structures such as cranial nerves V, VII, and VIII and the anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA), often leading to neurovascular compression syndromes due to its complex anatomy. Although vascular compression is a recognized cause of certain neuralgias, its association with otologic symptoms such as tinnitus, hearing loss, and dizziness remains uncertain. Hence, this study aims to determine the prevalence of the AICA vascular loop in the CPA cistern on MRI in patients with asymptomatic audiovestibular symptoms.

When the Gut Took a Wrong Turn to the Right: A Case Report of a Rare Complication of Closed Loop Small Bowel Obstruction With Small Bowel Volvulus in a Right Paraduodenal Hernia With Midgut Malrotation.
