Neurofibromatosis type 1 vasculopathy is a well-documented entity in the literature, but a rupture of the thyrocervical artery aneurysm is very rare and only 2 cases have been reported to date. Our patient presented with a right-sided hemiparesis and deviation of the angle of the mouth to the left. He was diagnosed to have hypertensive bleed in the left capsulo-ganglionic area. He then developed a sudden onset of left-sided neck swelling 8 h following admission, which was due to a ruptured thyrocervical artery aneurysm. To the best of our knowledge, our case is the first case in literature to have presented with simultaneous intracerebral bleed and a thyrocervical artery aneurysm rupture.

Successful Management of Thyrocervical Trunk Aneurysm Ruptured into the Thoracic Cavity After Cesarean Section in Nonstable Patient with Neurofibromatosis Type I.

Rupture of the thyrocervical trunk aneurysm into the thoracic cavity does not occur very often. It is an urgent condition due to hemorrhagic shock by massive hemothorax with potentially fatal consequences. Pregnancy and puerperium are additional risk factors for a rupture of the thyrocervical trunk aneurysm in patients with neurofibromatosis and aneurysms.

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1) is associated with vascular complications, including stenosis or the occlusion of the abdominal aorta and renal arteries. However, reports on the occurrence of extracranial vertebral artery aneurysms are scarce. A man in his 40s had back pain and was feeling unwell.

Article Synopsis
- Hemoptysis, the coughing up of blood, can stem from various serious underlying conditions, but often involves high-pressure bronchial arteries; Bronchial artery embolization (BAE) is typically the first-line treatment despite varying long-term success rates.
- A 12-year-old boy with a history of massive hemoptysis underwent multiple BAEs and recent imaging confirmed the location of previous coils; however, he experienced another episode where traditional intervention was complicated by prior treatments.
- The medical team opted for a thoracoscopic approach, successfully isolating and ligating the problematic vessel, leading to the patient's stabilization and discharge after four days.
The course of the phrenic nerve in the neck region and its relationship with adjacent anatomical structures in the thoracic inlet.

Pupose: This study aims to reveal the relationship of the phrenic nerve (PhN) with its neighboring structures in the lower neck region more comprehensively than previous studies and to minimize nerve damage by enabling invasive procedures in this region to be performed with high accuracy.
Methods: Forty-one heminecks were evaluated. The relationship between the PhN and the anterior scalene muscle (ASM), internal thoracic artery (ITA), branches of subclavian artery (SA) and subclavian vein (SV) was examined.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how the development of branches of the subclavian artery is influenced by the anatomy of the proximal artery and surrounding structures, particularly in response to blood flow stress.
- A case of an aberrant right subclavian artery arising from the aorta and unusual branching patterns was reported, revealing types H and CG of the Adachi-Williams classification.
- Findings indicate that while the aberrant artery's development can impact blood flow in the region, normal distal branching suggests that proximal and distal vascular development can operate independently, adapting to anomalies.
