Background: Intraorbital aneurysms are rare, and most of them originate from the ophthalmic arteries. Herein, we report a case of meningolacrimal artery aneurysm associated with a meningioma.
Case Description: A 55-year-old woman had a frontal convexity meningioma identified by brain magnetic resonance imaging during a checkup. Cerebral angiography revealed the middle meningeal artery as a feeding artery as well as the presence of an aneurysm associated with the meningolacrimal artery. Embolization of the feeding artery was performed before the removal of the meningioma. The meningioma was resected, and the aneurysm was removed with a bone flap. The patient was discharged without any complications.
Conclusion: We report a meningolacrimal artery aneurysm associated with a meningioma. Embolizing the feeding artery of the aneurysm was helpful in safely resecting the meningioma.

The perfusion territory of the external carotid artery is often underestimated; however, this blood vessel forms abundant "dangerous anastomoses" with the internal carotid and vertebral arteries. An understanding of these vascular anastomoses is crucial to ensure safe cerebrovascular interventions. There are several important aspects of the middle meningeal artery that should be considered, including anastomoses with the anterior(frontal)branch and ophthalmic artery through the sphenoidal artery(recurrent meningeal artery)and meningolacrimal artery.

Endonasal endoscopic approaches are the most preferred surgical methods in patients with pseudotumor cerebri because of easy access to the optic nerve, but the choice of this technique may not apply to all endoscopic endonasal cases. Moreover, there may be difficulties in practice in some cases, including the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. This study aimed to suggest an alternative endoscopic approach by lateral orbitotomy for optic nerve decompression in patients with pseudotumor cerebri.

Background: Intra-arterial chemotherapy (IAC) represents a mainstay of retinoblastoma treatment in children. Patients with retinoblastoma are uniquely at risk for secondary malignancies and are sensitive to the ionizing effects of radiation.
Objective: To retrospectively review a single institution's experience with IAC for retinoblastoma and the effect of variable intra-procedural imaging techniques on radiation exposure.
Spontaneous bilateral internal carotid and vertebral artery dissections with dominant-hemisphere circulation maintained by external carotid artery-ophthalmic artery anastomoses.

Spontaneous cervical artery dissection (sCAD) is a major cause of stroke in young adults. Multiple sCAD is a rarer, more poorly understood presentation of sCAD that has been increasingly attributed to cervical trauma such as spinal manipulation or genetic polymorphisms in extracellular matrix components. The authors present the case of a 49-year-old, otherwise healthy woman, who over the course of 2 weeks developed progressive, hemodynamically significant, bilateral internal carotid artery and vertebral artery dissections.
