Background: Carotid web is a thin shelf-like fibrointimal membrane arising from the posterior or posterolateral wall of the carotid bulb. Webs cause stroke, especially in younger adults with high risk of recurrence.
Methods: To report the first case of de-novo formation of an asymptomatic carotid web and describe longitudinal clinical-angiographic follow-up.

Background: Here we describe our experience managing intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) via endovascular embolization using a transarterial embolization (TAE) technique with liquid embolic agents. We illustrate the technical nuance of using dual arterial access for angiographic control runs in complex DAVFs supplied by multiple feeders from 2 distinct arterial systems.
Methods: Retrospective analysis of intracranial DAVF embolization as a single treatment technique at our institution from 2013 to 2023.

Background: The registry of cerebral aneurysms <5 mm, known for their low risk of rupture, is significant, given their high incidence globally. Our study aimed to identify, in small aneurysms (<5 mm), the potential morphological characteristics, risk factors that can predict the risk of rupture, and the risk or benefit of treating them with endovascular or conservative treatment in ruptured and unruptured intracranial aneurysms.
Methods: The medical records of patients with cerebral aneurysms <5 mm were retrospectively reviewed between January 2014 and December 2022 at two neurovascular centers in Colombia.

Purpose: To describe a case of duplicated middle cerebral artery (MCA) combined with ipsilateral accessory MCA, forming a triplicated MCA, associated with the accessory anterior cerebral artery (ACA), forming a triplicated A2 segment of the ACA detected incidentally on magnetic resonance (MR) angiography.
Methods: A 70-year-old woman with internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis at the origin, which was detected by ultrasound, underwent cranial MR imaging and MR angiography of the intracranial region for an evaluation of brain and cerebral arterial lesions. The MR machine was a 3-Tesla scanner.
