Results of treatment of 66 patients with non-formed lateral fistulas of the duodenum by the methods of active external and double (external and internal) drainage of the fistula zone, and more rarely--by passive drainage or obturation were analyzed. Lethality of the patients was 35.4%. The lethality of the patients was shown to directly depend on the spreading of purulent complications of fistulas of the duodenum up to 87.5% with a combination of diffuse peritonitis and retroperitoneal phlegmon. The immediate causes of death of the patients with lateral fistulas of the duodenum were severe abdominal sepsis due to spacious purulent lesions of the abdominal cavity and retroperitoneal fat, more rarely--profuse erosive bleedings from the fistula zone.

Advanced Imaging of Type 2 Spinal CSF Leaks with Ultrahigh-Resolution Cone-Beam CT Myelography.
AJNR Am J Neuroradiol
January 2025
From Department of Neuroradiology (Niklas Lützen, Charlotte Zander, Horst Urbach), Medical Center - University of Freiburg, Faculty of Medicine, University of Freiburg, Germany and Department of Neurosurgery (Jürgen Beck, Florian Volz, Katharina Wolf, Amir El Rahal), Medical Center - University of Freiburg, Faculty of Medicine, University of Freiburg, Germany.
Type 2 CSF leaks are spinal lateral dural tears, causing spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH). They may be visualized with digital subtraction myelography (DSM), cone-beam CT (CBCT) myelography, energy-integrating detector or photon-counting CT myelography. A recently introduced ultrahigh-resolution cone-beam CT (UHR-CBCT) myelography has shown beneficial visualization of CSF-venous fistula, another cause of SIH.

Medicine (Baltimore)

Gastroenterology, Chongqing University Cancer Hospital, Chongqing, China.
Rationale: Aortoesophageal fistula (AEF) is an exceedingly rare yet critically life-threatening condition, with mortality rates nearing 100% if not addressed promptly. AEF often develops in the context of thoracic aortic aneurysms, esophageal malignancies, or as a complication of foreign body ingestion and prior thoracic aortic surgeries. This study reports an exceptionally severe and clinically rare case of AEF associated with a pseudaneurysm induced by esophageal stenting.

Introduction And Importance: The branchial or pharyngeal apparatus, crucial in embryological development, consists of clefts, arches, pouches, and membranes. Anomalies arising from this apparatus particularly involving the second branchial arch, are rare. Among these anomalies, complete second branchial cleft fistulas, with both external and internal openings, are exceptionally uncommon.

We report a rare case of a missed intracavernous internal carotid artery dissecting aneurysm occurring as a complication of the base of skull fracture with severe brain injury causing acute cavernous sinus syndrome with permanent vision loss. A 31-year-old Myanmar lady had an alleged motor vehicle accident and suffered severe traumatic brain injury with multiple intracranial bleeds, multiple facial bone and base of skull fractures, and limb fractures. At one week post-trauma, she had severe right eye proptosis with vision loss, ophthalmoplegia, chemosis, and high intraocular pressure.

Department of Neurosurgery, The Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China.
Background: Spinal epidural arachnoid cysts (SEACs) are rare, non-neoplastic pathologies that can cause compressive myelopathy. Preoperative identification of the exact fistula location is crucial for minimally invasive management.
Methods: This single-center retrospective study included 27 patients with SEACs who underwent "double-needle puncture myelography" to precisely localize the fistula before minimally invasive surgery.
