Many strokes from a single non-stenosing plaque: from the last event a light to the first one?
Neurol Sci
January 2025
Neuroradiology Unit, Azienda Unità Sanitaria Locale-IRCCS di Reggio Emilia, Via Amendola 2, Reggio Emilia, 42122, Italy.
Introduction: Large artery atherosclerosis is a relevant cause of ischemic stroke. Beyond carotid artery stenosis ≥ 50%, causative in etiological classification of stroke, non-stenosing plaques are an increasingly reported cause of stroke with embolic pattern.
Methods: We are presenting the case of a 56 years old woman presenting with a first symptomatic multifocal ischemic stroke in the right internal carotid artery (ICA) territory on 2018 and a finding of asymptomatic past vascular injury in the same vascular territory on neuroimaging studies.

Background And Objectives: Congenital choanal atresia is a rare condition that occurs in approximately 1 in 7,000 to 8,000 live births and involves the obstruction of the posterior nasal airway. It may present as either unilateral or bilateral, with bilateral cases being more severe due to the risk of immediate neonatal respiratory distress. Bilateral congenital choanal atresia (BCCA) necessitates prompt medical intervention to prevent cyanosis and significant breathing difficulties.

Background: Long segmental congenital tracheal and tracheobronchial stenosis are a rare congenital airway anomaly with variable arborizations. This study aims to analyze presentations and outcomes of slide- tracheoplasty in long segmental congenital tracheal and tracheobronchial stenosis with variable arborizations METHODS: Retrospective analysis of all patients underwent slide tracheoplasty between March 1995 to Feb 2023 for long segmental congenital tracheal and tracheobronchial stenosis. Preoperative airway morphology was divided into anatomic types based on the Great Ormond Street Children Hospital Morphological Classification.
