Trauma is the sixth leading cause of death globally and the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in young patients. Blunt bowel and mesenteric injuries are rare, occuring in only 1-5% of blunt abdominal traumas, and are associated with high morbidity and mortality. In this report, we present a case of a patient with sigmoid colon perforation due to ischemia caused by mesenteric injury, who was admitted to the hospital with abdominal pain two days after a car accident.

Mycotic brain aneurysms are rare and unusual cerebrovascular lesions arising from septic emboli that degrade the elastic lamina and vessel wall of intracranial arteries, which results in pathologic dilatation. Mycotic aneurysms are nonsaccular lesions that are not often suitable for clipping and instead require bypass, trapping, and flow reversal. This case demonstrates the use of indocyanine green "flash fluorescence" to identify the cortical distribution supplied by an aneurysm's outflow, facilitating safe treatment with a double-barrel extracranial-intracranial bypass and partial trapping and conversion of a deep bypass to a superficial one.

A 68-year-old man underwent partial colectomy and double-barrel colostomy for an obstructive colon cancer of the splenic flexure at another hospital 10 years before.

Background: The treatment of giant fusiform middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysms remains daunting owing to their tendency to be associated with precarious end-vessel anatomy and the need for complex microsurgical techniques to appropriately address the aneurysm and the vasculature at risk. Extracranial-intracranial bypass revascularization remains a valuable tool for treating these complex lesions. In the present report, we have described a rare occurrence in which the creation of a double-barrel superficial temporal artery (STA-MCA) bypass facilitated spontaneous obliteration of the aneurysm.

A fibula graft is one of the most common orthopedic procedures for reconstruction of a bone defect, and some complications related to persistent defects of the fibula have been reported previously. We believe that regeneration of the fibula may be critical for postoperative function and prevention of complications. This report describes a 9-year-old female with Ewing sarcoma of the pelvis who was treated with the double-barrel fibula grafts for pelvic bone defect following tumor resection.
