We present a case of a rebleeding remote from a vertebral artery dissection associated with subarachnoid haemorrhage. A 7-year-old boy without any antecedent presented a traumatic dissection of the vertebral artery with subarachnoid haemorrhage. After a conservative treatment, the morphology of the vertebral artery became normal and the boy was asymptomatic. Four months later, a rebleeding occurred on the same vertebral artery, whose morphological review was normal. Mechanisms and cases of rebleeding in the literature are discussed. An inflammatory vasculopathy was suspected and discussed.

Central venous catheters (CVCs) are commonly used for multiple clinical purposes. The internal jugular vein (IJV) is preferred among the most frequently used insertion sites due to its higher success rates and lower complication risks. Although CVC placement is generally considered a safe procedure, several complications have been reported.

CT-guided C1-C2 facet joint injections are a valuable tool for managing cervicogenic headaches caused by degenerative and inflammatory conditions of the atlantoaxial joint. This video article presents the procedural technique for a CT-guided C1-C2 facet joint injection in a patient with left-sided cervicogenic headache. Despite concerns regarding potential complications such as vascular injury to the vertebral artery and nerve injury to the C2 dorsal root ganglion, careful anatomic planning and imaging guidance allows safe and effective treatment.

Background: Indications for carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and reduction of complications require evaluation of the plaque properties and location of the distal end of the plaque. High cervical location can be predicted from the anatomy of the vertebral body and mandibular bones, and the locations of the posterior belly of the digastric muscle and stylohyoid muscle. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging without contrast medium is useful for preoperative evaluation of the plaque, arteries, and bone characterization.

Instrumentation of C2 vertebra is considered the most difficult for young neurosurgeons and trainees due to its complex anatomical structures, variety of surgical approaches and techniques, and proximity to important neurovascular structures. Key points from a surgical perspective for midline posterior approach is described in the era of neuroradiological advancements. Computed tomography angiographies (CTAs) of a total of 92 patients were evaluated with special attention to the key findings for insertion of screws for craniovertebral junction (CVJ) fixations.

Background And Objectives: Three-column osteotomy (3CO) offers substantial spinal deformity correction. Thoracic neurovascular bundle sacrifice is often required, and anterior spinal artery (ASA) perfusion can be compromised. Spinal angiography allows localization of variable ASA vascular contribution.
