Nontyphoidal is a common cause of gastroenteritis but can also lead to bacteremia and extraintestinal infections, including meningitis (more frequent in children and infants), endovascular infections (e.g., endocarditis and infected aneurysms), urinary tract infections, and bone or bone marrow infections (e.

Introduction A large majority of spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhages (SAH) are attributed to aneurysm rupture, though the cause remains unknown in a notable percentage of cases. Non-aneurysmal SAH (naSAH) is generally thought to follow a more benign clinical course than aneurysmal SAH (aSAH); however, similar complications may occur, and poor outcomes are still possible. Given the limited research on naSAH, this study aims to characterize these patients and correlate clinical and radiographic findings with outcomes.

Subclavian artery pseudoaneurysms (SAPs) are rare and most often secondary to trauma. On the contrary, a mycotic origin is exceedingly rare, and defining this etiology can become challenging. We present a rare case of a tuberculous SAP in a young patient.

Coil embolization of cerebral aneurysms often encounters challenges in achieving complete filling of the aneurysm sac due to complex shapes and hemodynamic factors, frequently resulting in the formation of a residual cavity (RC) at the aneurysm neck. The hemodynamic mechanisms underlying RC formation and growth, however, remain poorly understood. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis, combined with silent MRA free from contrast agents and metal artifacts, offers a promising approach to elucidate these mechanisms, potentially enhancing the clinical management of cerebral aneurysms post-coiling.

Introduction: The management of neurovascular pathologies has changed globally over the last few decades. Endovascular treatments are increasing, and fewer surgical procedures are performed.
Research Question: Evaluate the evolution of vascular neurosurgery in Belgium over the last 30 years and compare with other countries.
