Spontaneous dissection of the internal carotid artery is an increasingly recognized condition that is readily identifiable with magnetic resonance imaging and -angiography. Early recognition of this entity is essential for optimizing medical management and avoiding potential cerebral infarction. We present a case of dissection of the internal carotid artery that occurred during magnetic resonance imaging and describe the immediate imaging characteristics.

Purpose: A finite element analysis was performed to simulate the biomechanical differences between anterior-posterior (AP) direction and posterior-anterior (PA) direction placement of two cannulated screws in Hoffa fractures.

Methods: Computed tomography images of an healthy male volunteer were used to simulate Letenneur Ⅰ, Ⅱa, Ⅱb, Ⅱc, Ⅲ Hoffa fractures, and two groups of screw internal fixation models were constructed. Two 6.

Background: Previous studies suggest an association between Alzheimer's disease and carotid artery atherosclerosis. However, the association between atherosclerotic carotid plaque composition and Alzheimer's disease pathology (neuritic plaques and neurofibrillary tangles) has not been explored yet.

Method: Carotid arteries were dissected and the segments with the largest obstruction in the carotid bifurcation, and the common and internal carotid arteries were obtained.

December 2024

Otorhinolaryngology Department, Unidade Local de Saúde de São João, Porto, PRT.

Objectives The aim of this anatomical study was to analyze distances and anatomical relations between the lower cranial nerves and important neck landmarks. Methods Anatomical study based on neck dissection in Thiel-embalmed cadavers. Anatomical relations and distances between the vagus (X), accessory (XI), and hypoglossal (XII) nerves and important neck landmarks were registered and compared.

Aortic dissection (AoD) is a rare fatal condition in which tearing in the intima causes a false channel in the aorta and can lead to rupture. AoD is classified as the DeBakey classification (Types I, II, III) and Stanford classification (Types A and B). Women with underlying risk factors such as hypertension, smoking, bicuspid aortic valve, and connective tissue disorders are at risk for pregnancy-related AoD.
