Tuberculous vasculitis is a very rare presentation of tuberculosis. So far this is the second reported case in the literature. The diagnosis of this disorder is based on the clinical presentation as well as blood investigation results. With the ever improvement in modern medicine and improvement in endovascular treatment of such diseases, the morbidity and mortality of these patients have been dramatically reduced with better clinical and survival results. We present a case of endovascular stenting of a stenotic subclavian artery with good results.

50 Years of the Glasgow Coma Scale: A historical perspective.
J Clin Neurosci
January 2025
Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, The University of Adelaide, Australia.
The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) was first published in The Lancet by Sir Graham Teasdale and Bryan Jennett 50 years ago based on their pioneering work on developing a numerical scale to describe coma in clear and reproducible terms and to avoid the confusion associated with the wide variety of descriptive terms for consciousness that were in use at the time. It's difficult to know if Teasdale and Jennett could have predicted how influential, widespread and long-lasting the GCS would become, but in retrospect it seems clear that the GCS was introduced at a perfect stage in the development of modern clinical neurosurgery and neuroscience research. The simplicity of the scale, its recognition by senior academics and the emerging radiology technologies in the 1970s heralded a new era of neuroscience and an approach to the management of not only traumatic brain injury (TBI) but other types of central nervous system disease in which consciousness was affected, such as aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage and stroke.

Ann Med Surg (Lond)
September 2024
Department of Radiology, Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital, Kathmandu.
Introduction And Importance: Aneurysms are dilatations of arteries, with abdominal aortic ectasias (AAE) considered precursors to abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). Iliac artery aneurysms (IAAs), often accompanying AAA, present a serious risk, particularly due to rupture. Here, the authors present a case highlighting the importance of recognizing and managing isolated bilateral common iliac artery aneurysms (CIAAs).

Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Heart Centre Freiburg University, Freiburg, Germany.
Article Synopsis
- - The frozen elephant trunk (FET) technique, introduced in the mid-1990s, has become a popular hybrid treatment for various thoracic aortic issues, but there remains a risk of needing further interventions after the procedure.
- - This review analyzes data and studies on thoracic endovascular aortic repair completion following FET, highlighting insights from the European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery and the European Society for Vascular Surgery.
- - The authors advocate for a two-stage treatment approach for aortic pathologies, emphasizing the necessity of dedicated aortic clinics for ongoing follow-up and identifying patients who may require additional procedures.
A Rare Presentation of Polyarteritis Nodosa (PAN).
Cureus
February 2024
Rheumatology, Texas Tech University Health Science Center at Permian Basin, Odessa, USA.
Polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) is a connective tissue disease that affects arteries, causing necrotizing inflammation that can weaken the arterial walls, dilatation into aneurysms, and rupture in some cases. We present a case of a male with acute abdomen from aneurysmal rupture. The 48-year-old patient with a history of polysubstance use including cocaine and methamphetamines was admitted for acute hypoxic respiratory failure secondary to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia and treated with broad-spectrum antibiotics and steroids.

Microscopes with fluorescence modality for videoangiography (VAG) using indocyanine green or sodium fluorescein (FL) have been used in cerebrovascular surgeries as tools for brain blood flow assessment in vascular diseases, especially in brain aneurysms, extracranial-intracranial bypass, and arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). Indocyanine green-VAG is a well-documented tool frequently employed as an adjunct to microsurgery for AVM treatment. Nevertheless, it's worth noting that the use of FL-VAG has been significantly underrepresented in medical literature, with only a few studies addressing its application in this context.
