Idiopathic aortic rupture is a rare but often fatal condition that requires urgent attention and repair. I have performed thoracic endovascular aortic repair ( TEVAR) in two cases of idiopathic aortic rupture and have achieved positive results. It can be difficult to identify the site of rupture in these cases. Therefore, it is necessary to lengthen treatment and to determine the potential for spinal cord ischemia and associated paralysis of the lower extremities. Given its association with a favorable postoperative recovery, TEVAR can be considered as a minimally-invasive option that can be used early to treat this condition, including those associated with hemodynamic instability and in patients who are at high risk for complications.

Purpose: Spine surgery, particularly deformity correction, is associated with a high risk of peri-operative or post-operative complications, and these complications can lead to catastrophic consequences. This case report will present the etiology and treatment process of the peri-operative cardiac arrest during scoliosis correction surgery.

Method: In this report, we present a case of cardiac arrest during posterior correction surgery in a 17-year-old female patient with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.

Introduction: Compared to aortic dissection and isolated visceral artery dissection, multiple peripheral arterial dissections have not been formally reported to date. Currently, there is no well-established treatment for this condition, and large-scale studies with extensive sample data are lacking.

Case Presentation: A 56-year-old male, was provisionally diagnosed with " idiopathic multiple peripheral arterial dissections.

Purpose: Although idiopathic scoliosis is a common three-dimensional deformity, there is a lack of studies evaluating the associations between the aortic-vertebral distance (AVD) and spinal deformities in all planes. The study therefore aimed to evaluate how the coronal and sagittal curvature, vertebral rotation and aortic-vertebral angle (AVA) affect the AVD in idiopathic scoliosis.

Methods: The AVD, AVA, vertebral rotation and curve angles were measured on preoperative magnetic resonance imaging and radiographs in 46 patients who underwent posterior spinal fusion with pedicle screw instrumentation for idiopathic scoliosis Lenke types 1 and 2.

Computed tomography findings of idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease subtypes.

J Clin Exp Hematop

Department of Radiology, Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University, Okayama, Japan.

This study retrospectively evaluated the computed tomography (CT) findings of idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease (iMCD) at a single center and compared the CT findings of iMCD-TAFRO with those of iMCD-non-TAFRO. CT images obtained within 30 days before diagnostic confirmation were reviewed for 20 patients with iMCD (8 men and 12 women, mean age 52.8 ± 12.

Factors associated with early clinical remission in patients with idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis.

December 2024

Department of Rheumatology and Clinical Immunology, National Clinical Research Center for Dermatologic and Immunologic Diseases (NCRC-DID), The Ministry of Education Key Laboratory, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Peking Union Medical College, Beijing, China.

Objectives: Idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis (IRF) is a rare autoimmune-mediated condition characterized by fibro-inflammatory tissue development around the abdominal aorta and iliac arteries. Ureteral entrapment and hydronephrosis are the most common manifestations and acute renal failure or chronic renal insufficiency may occur as the consequence. Glucocorticoids and immunosuppressants may be effective but the therapeutic response and outcome are heterogeneous and hard to predict.
