From the Hospital Universitario Rio Hortega, Valladolid, Spain.
With increased use of extended criteria liver donors, there is a higher incidence of previously unknown intra-abdominal pathologies, including abdominal aortic aneurysms, which are being accidentally found during organ procurement. These findings often involve technical difficulties that challenge organ procurement teams and potentially put at risk the success of organ retrieval and eventual transplant. In this case report, we present a novel case of a successful liver retrieval from a donor with brain death who was incidentally found to have an infrarenal aortic aneurysm that spared both iliac arteries.

Traumatic posterior atlantoaxial dislocation (TPAD) without an associated fracture is a rare and challenging spinal injury. This PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses)-compliant case-based systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to comprehensively explore TPAD, covering clinical presentation, diagnosis, treatment, and clinical and radiological outcomes. Following the presentation of a case of TPAD without an associated fracture, we conducted a systematic search of electronic databases, including Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science, from inception through October 2023, without language restrictions.
