Schwannomas (SCs) are benign tumors composed of neoplastic Schwann cells and are relatively uncommon intracranially. Although these tumors are frequently associated with neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2), they may also arise idiopathically, and their pathogenesis remains poorly understood. A 70-year-old Caucasian man presented with a two-month history of vertigo, gait imbalance, and decreased visual acuity in the left eye accompanied by photophobia, nausea, vomiting, and occasional headaches.

Purpose: To describe a case in which a right replaced posterior cerebral artery (PCA) was associated with an ipsilateral superior cerebellar artery (SCA) type persistent trigeminal artery (PTA) variant.

Methods: A 53-year-old man who had been diagnosed with chronic dissection of the left vertebral artery (VA) 4 months previously underwent follow-up magnetic resonance (MR) angiography using a 3-Tesla scanner.

Results: MR angiography showed a slightly dilated left VA at the terminal segment without interval change.

Feline herpesvirus type 1 (FHV-1), a member of the Herpesviridae family, is one of the most important pathogens that causes upper respiratory tract disease in felines. Following infection, FHV-1 can spread retrogradely to the trigeminal ganglia, establishing a life-long latency. Although vaccines are available for routine feline vaccination, FHV-1 is still an agent that poses a serious threat to feline health.

Background: Migraine is a painful neurological syndrome characterized by attacks of throbbing headache, of moderate to severe intensity, which is associated with photo- and phono- sensitivity as well as nausea and vomiting. It affects about 15% of the world's population being 2-3 times more prevalent in females. The calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is a key mediator in the pathophysiology of migraine, and a significant advance in the field has been the development of anti-CGRP therapies.

Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) ion channels like Vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) and Melastatin 3 (TRPM3) are nonselective cation channels expressed in primary sensory neurons and peripheral nerve endings, which are located in cholesterol- and sphingolipid-rich membrane lipid raft regions and have important roles in pain processing. Besides TRP ion channels a wide variety of voltage-gated ion channels were also described in the membrane raft regions of neuronal cells. Here we investigated the effects of lipid raft disruption by methyl-beta-cyclodextrin (MCD) and sphingomyelinase (SMase) on TRPV1, TRPM3 and voltage-gated L-type Ca channel activation in cultured trigeminal neurons and sensory nerve terminals of the trachea.
