152 patients were admitted to the ENT hospital with the diagnosis thrombophlebitis of the sygmoid sinus (62.1% of the total number of the admitted patients with otogenic intracranial complications). The surgery was made early upon the admission. The authors advocate radical removal of the thrombus before, the start of hemorrhage from both sinus parts. In case of the absence of low hemorrhage the intervention on the internal jugular vein was decided on day 1-3 after the basic surgery depending on the clinical course. It is thought that in postoperative period antibiotic therapy should be supplemented with immune preparations made of donor blood, UV radiation of autoblood and hyperbaric oxygenation.

: Complications, namely, catheter-related thrombosis (CRT) and venous stenosis, are associated with non-cuffed hemodialysis catheters used for emergency vascular access. However, only a few reports have demonstrated changes in the venous lumen and intravenous thrombosis after catheter removal. In this study, we comprehensively investigated the risk factors for residual thrombus 1 month after hemodialysis catheter removal.

Carotid body tumors (CBTs), rare neuroendocrine neoplasms near the carotid bifurcation, are mostly asymptomatic but may cause discomfort and autonomic dysfunction. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) is used for diagnosis, eliminating the need for a biopsy to avoid the risk of hemorrhage. Surgical excision is the preferred treatment, while radiotherapy is an option when surgery is impractical.
