Article Synopsis
- - Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) is a common eye condition linked to various risk factors, including tobacco use, which can be targeted for prevention efforts.
- - A comprehensive review of studies (covering nearly 28,000 CSC patients) revealed a strong association between tobacco consumption and an increased risk of developing CSC, with an odds ratio of 2.99.
- - Although the precise reasons for the tobacco-CSC link are not fully understood, quitting smoking is a practical suggestion that can help patients manage their condition, highlighting the need for more research on the benefits of quitting.

Purpose: To present the clinical and histopathological characteristics of a rare case of ductal carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma in the lacrimal gland.
Observations: A 73-years-old Caucasian female presented with complaints of double vision and pain in the left eye region. Clinical examination revealed ptosis and exophthalmos of the left eye as well as diplopia on downward gaze.
Background: We investigated the prevalence of post-procedural headache in patients who have undergone thrombectomy for ischemic stroke, and correlated history of migraine with risk of peri-procedural complications. A total of 314 patients underwent thrombectomy at the Danish National Hospital from January 2012 to December 2014. Eligible subjects were phone-interviewed using a purpose-developed semi-structured questionnaire according to the International Classification of Headache Disorders 3, beta version criteria.

We aimed to investigate the prevalence of headache in patients who have undergone EVT for cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) and aneurysms.
Methods: A total of 324 patients underwent EVT treatment for aneurysms and AVMs at the Danish National Hospital from January 2012 to December 2014.
