Anticoagulant therapy is effective and prevents death in more than 95% of patients with pulmonary embolism following deep vein thrombosis. We report a patient who developed deep vein thrombosis following rupture of a dissecting aneurysm of the internal auditory artery. The parent artery was occluded before anticoagulant therapy as a prophylactic measure to prevent intracranial haemorrhage. We discuss some of the clinical features, therapeutic difficulties, and pitfalls in the management of internal auditory artery aneurysm complicated by deep vein thrombosis.

Meniere's disease (MD) is an inner ear disease characterized by endolymphatic hydrops (EH). Maintaining a regular daily routine is crucial for MD patients. However, the relationship between circadian rhythms and MD remains unclear.

Neurons in the hippocampus are correlated with different variables, including space, time, sensory cues, rewards and actions, in which the extent of tuning depends on ongoing task demands. However, it remains uncertain whether such diverse tuning corresponds to distinct functions within the hippocampal network or whether a more generic computation can account for these observations. Here, to disentangle the contribution of externally driven cues versus internal computation, we developed a task in mice in which space, auditory tones, rewards and context were juxtaposed with changing relevance.

The brain attends to environmental rhythms by aligning the phase of internal oscillations. However, the factors underlying fluctuations in the strength of this phase entrainment remain largely unknown. In the present study we examined whether the strength of low-frequency EEG phase entrainment to rhythmic stimulus sequences varied with pupil size and posterior alpha-band power, thought to reflect arousal level and excitability of posterior cortical brain areas, respectively.

Background And Objectives: The middle fossa approaches are tremendously versatile for treating small vestibular schwannomas, selected petroclival meningiomas, midbasilar trunk aneurysms, and lesions of the petrous bone. Our aim was to localize the internal acoustic canal and safely drill the petrous apex with these approaches. This study demonstrates a new method to locate the internal acoustic canal during surgery in the middle fossa.

Department of Radiology, Medical School, University of Minnesota, USA.
Background And Purpose: Inter-hypothalamic adhesions (IHAs) are parenchymal tissue bridges traversing the third ventricle, previously reported only in the pediatric population. We aim to understand the prevalence of IHA in the adult population, assess their size and location, and ultimately investigate whether IHA volumes correlate with age.
Materials And Methods: Patients who underwent routine high-resolution 3D T2WI MRI studies of the temporal bone/internal auditory canal at an otolaryngology clinic between 2008 and 2014 were consecutively selected.
