Background And Importance: In patients with vertebral artery (VA) occlusion, spontaneous flow reversal may occur in the anterior spinal artery (ASA) as a source of compensatory supply to the posterior circulation. Turbulent flow and increased flux through these small arteries may predispose to luminal damage and intracranial aneurysm formation. We report a novel case of a ruptured ASA-VA junction aneurysm in a patient with chronic bilateral VA occlusion, successfully treated with endovascular embolization.

Objectives: To investigate the incidence and risk factors of bilobate placenta, as well as to assess its impact on preeclampsia (PE), preterm delivery (PTD) and small-for-gestational age (SGA) neonates.
Methods: A prospective study of singleton pregnancies, undergoing routine anomaly scan at 20-23 gestational weeks, was conducted, between 2018 and 2022. The impact of prenatally diagnosed bilobate placenta on PE, PTD and SGA was assessed.

Introduction: placental anomalies can affect fetal and maternal outcome due to severe maternal hemorrhage potentially resulting in hysterectomy and cord accident including abruption that can determine fetal damage or death. The aims of our study are to determine if the rate of placental and umbilical cord anomalies are more common in IVF singleton pregnancies compared to spontaneous pregnancies; to evaluate the role of ultrasound in screening for these anomalies and to investigate if oocyte donor fertilization is an additional risk factor for the development of these anomalies.
Methods: this was a prospective cohort study involving two tertiary centers.

GnRH-independent precocious puberty (GIPP) can be the presenting clinical picture experienced by patients with secreting germ cell tumor (GCT). Indeed, as luteinizing hormone (LH) and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) share identical α-subunits and similar β-subunits, an increased secretion of β-hCG may result in a precocious activation of Leydig cells. Though the co-occurrence of raised β-hCG levels and signs of precocious virilization usually prompts a complete oncological work-up, the diagnostic and therapeutic management of GCT-induced GIPP may be challenging.

Background: Walled-off pancreatic necrosis (WON) represents delayed sequelae of necrotizing pancreatitis, generally developing in 5-15% of cases 4 weeks after the initial attack (Boškoski and Costamagna Ann Gastroenterol 27(2):93-94, 2014). They are characterized by a well-circumscribed, encapsulated collection of necrotic parenchyma with variable degree of gland liquefaction (Boškoski and Costamagna Ann Gastroenterol 27(2):93-94, 2014, Khreiss et al. J Gastrointest Surg 19(8):1441-1448, 2015).
