Background And Importance: Iatrogenic internal carotid artery (ICA) injuries during endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) surgeries are associated with a high morbidity and mortality, with few acceptable methods described for repair.
Clinical Presentation: A 13-year-old girl with a large anterior and central skull base osteoblastoma incurred an iatrogenic cavernous ICA injury during a staged EEA approach. Intraoperative angiogram was performed with balloon-assisted EEA primary microsurgical repair of the lacerated ICA.
Conclusion: By integrating current techniques commonly used in open aneurysm surgeries and in endovascular procedures, we developed a rapid, safe technique to repair an EEA-associated iatrogenic ICA injury.

Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy of percutaneous prying combined with modified rotary reduction with needle in the treatment of supracondylar fracture of humerus in Gartland type Ⅳ children, and to evaluate the postoperative elbow joint function, the incidence of elbow varus deformity and the application prospect of this technique.
Methods: A total of 98 children diagnosed with Gartland type Ⅳ supracondylar humeral fractures between June 2020 and January 2023 were included in this study, comprising of 57 males and 41 females. The age ranged from 2 to 14 years old with an average of (6.

Internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling has been an acceptable step in vitrectomy surgeries for various retinal diseases such as macular hole, chronic macular edema following epiretinal membrane (ERM), and vitreoretinal traction. Despite all the benefits, this procedure has some side effects, which may lead to structural damage and functional vision loss. Light and dye toxicity may induce reversible and irreversible retina damage, which will be observed in postoperative optical coherence tomography scans.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multisystemic connective tissue disease with a wide range of clinical and laboratory manifestations. The diagnosis of SLE is often challenging due to the great variability in its presentation, and treatment should be individualized according to the patient's manifestations and affected organs. We present the clinical case of a 25-year-old female who developed SLE with severe hematological and renal involvement as first manifestations, including hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and nephrotic syndrome.

Background: Iatrogenic pneumothorax is a common complication of diagnostic and therapeutic pulmonary procedures. New guidelines on primary spontaneous pneumothorax suggest ambulatory approaches may be suitable. However, guidance on iatrogenic pneumothorax occurring in patients with impaired lung function, increased age, comorbidity and frailty is lacking, and the safety profile of ambulatory management is not known.
