The treatment of indirect carotid-cavernous fistula (CCF) poses a unique challenge. Currently, endovascular interventions remain the principal treatment option with high cure rates and acceptable safety profiles. The anatomical characteristics of individual cases determine the optimal vascular access routes (transvenous vs.

Unless otherwise demonstrated, seizures during pregnancy that happen after 20 weeks of gestation are typically caused by eclampsia. In our clinical case we report the diagnostic challenge of Wernicke's encephalopathy occurring at 34 weeks and mimicking an eclamptic attack. This is about a 30-year-old female patient who suffers from hyperemesis gravidarum during her pregnancy.

Background: Dural arteriovenous fistulas of the marginal sinus (DAVFms) are uncommon and complex, with varied symptoms. Their complexity is heightened by the region's dense anastomotic network, posing risks for endovascular treatment. Surgical intervention can be effective, but this depends on thorough pre-operative understanding and optimal intra-operative visualization of the fistula.

The diagnosis of internal carotid artery dissection (ICAD) at the stage of local signs is essential in the prevention of the life-treating cerebral complication; however, making this diagnosis has significant difficulties. We present the case of a 36-year-old female with left ICAD with asymmetric left-sided tongue swelling as an unusual and still unexpected symptom. The patient's complaints at admission were left-sided numbness of the tongue and swallowing difficulties but its movements were intact.

Introduction: Spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) fistula, of unknown origin, is a rare condition whose aetiology is increasingly related to idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). This study tries to raise awareness that they should not be considered as two different processes, but that fistulas can be a form of debut, requiring a study and subsequent treatment. Repair techniques are described, as well as the study of HII.
