Background: Proton therapy (PRT) is an innovative radiotherapeutic modality for the treatment of cancer with unique ballistic properties. The depth-dose distribution of a proton beam reduces exposure of healthy tissues to radiations, compared with photon-therapy (XRT). To date, only few indications for proton-therapy, like pediatric cancers, chordomas, or intra-ocular neoplasms, are reimbursed by Health systems.

Introduction And Importance: A carotid-cavernous sinus fistula is an abnormal connection between the internal or external carotid artery and the venous system of the cavernous sinus. It represents a rare entity, and it is often misdiagnosed due to its overlapping symptoms with other conditions such as cavernous sinus thrombosis or orbital inflammation. Cerebral angiography continues to be the gold standard for diagnosis and surgical planning in patients with CCF, and the endovascular trans-venous approach still represents the primary line of treatment.

Orbital cellulitis is a serious infection that can lead to severe complications if not promptly diagnosed and treated. This case report describes an unusual presentation of bilateral orbital cellulitis in a previously healthy 29-year-old female, complicated by cerebral vein thrombosis and meningitis. The patient's young age and lack of significant medical history make this case particularly noteworthy.

Unlabelled: Murine models are commonly used to understand pathogen and host determinants of systemic infection. While these models have proven beneficial for uncovering bacterial mechanisms required for progression to invasive disease, it can be challenging to draw comparisons across studies as several different routes of infection are standardly used for these experiments. In this study, one of the leading bacterial meningeal pathogens, , or Group B (GBS), was used to compare experimental outcomes of two commonly used routes of hematogenous infection, lateral tail vein injection and retro-orbital venous sinus injection.

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the anatomical variations and morphometric characteristics of the sulci in the dural venous sinuses within the intracranial cavity, with a particular focus on sex differences and asymmetry.

Methods: Thirty fixed cadaveric heads were used to measure the dimensions (length, width, and depth) and spatial relationships of the dural venous sinus sulci within the intracranial cavity, including the distance to the midline, distance to each other, and lateral margin of the skull. Comparisons were made between sexes and sides of the body.
