Article Abstract
Objectives: An elongated styloid process may cause vascular Eagle syndrome that includes cervical carotid artery (CCA) dissection with stenosis and aneurysm formation. There are only four reported cases with vascular Eagle syndrome-related CCA dissecting aneurysm treated with carotid artery stenting (CAS). This is the first report of applying a dual-layer nitinol micromesh stent (CASPER) for vascular Eagle syndrome-related CCA dissecting aneurysm.
Case Presentation: A 38-year-old man presented with a sudden onset of aphasia and right hemiplegia. Cerebral angiography demonstrated the left CCA dissecting aneurysm. The superior trunk of the left middle cerebral artery (MCA) was also occluded, and emergent thrombectomy was performed. Computed tomography with angiography (CTA) revealed that a 33 mm-long styloid process compressed the CCA at the aneurysm formation. Three weeks later, a CASPER stent was applied for the CCA aneurysm under the flow reversal system. Immediately after stent placement, blood flow in the aneurysm became stagnant, and postoperative CTA demonstrated regression of the aneurysm. The aneurysm did not recur for 6 months with no styloid process resection.
Conclusions: The dual-layer nitinol micromesh stent (CASPER) was useful to treat vascular Eagle syndrome-related CCA dissecting aneurysm.

Pediatric glossopharyngeal neuralgia with incidental trigeminal compression treated using microvascular decompression: illustrative case.
J Neurosurg Case Lessons

Division of Neurosurgery, Children's Hospital Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California.
Background: Glossopharyngeal neuralgia (GPN) is a rare condition typically manifesting as paroxysms of sharp, lancinating pain localized to the middle ear and auditory canal, base of the tongue, tonsillar fossa, and region just inferior to the angle of the mandible. Vascular compression is a common etiology, and microvascular decompression (MVD) has been established as a safe and efficacious treatment in adults. With the exception of one report of an adult patient undergoing the procedure for symptomatology that began in adolescence, there are no published cases of MVD for GPN in pediatric patients to the author's knowledge.

Objectives: Vascular Eagle syndrome (ES) is a rare condition involving vessel compression by an elongated styloid process, leading to neurologic symptoms. Here, we present the case of a patient with a complication of carotid artery stenting for vascular ES and discuss the implications of treatment of this rare condition.

Article Synopsis
- Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women globally, with metastasis being a key factor in these fatalities.
- The study investigates the role of the TEA domain transcription factor 4 (TEAD4) in promoting tumor cell adhesion and migration through the regulation of the adhesion molecule Fibronectin (FN1), highlighting its potential links to cancer metastasis.
- Curcumin is shown to reduce the migration and invasion abilities of breast cancer cells by inhibiting TEAD4's interaction with the FN1 promoter, suggesting that targeting the TEAD4-FN1 axis could help mitigate breast cancer metastasis.
Intravascular Ultrasound Assessment of Arterial Dissections Following Rotarex Atherectomy: Results of the iDissection Rotarex Study.

Cardiovascular Research Department, Midwest Cardiovascular Research Foundation, Davenport, Iowa.
Background: There are limited data on the mechanism of the Rotarex Rotational Excisional Atherectomy System in treating femoropopliteal arterial disease. The Rotarex iDissection study is a prospective, single center study evaluating the extent of excision and dissection in de novo and restenotic (not in-stent) lesions of the femoropopliteal arteries in symptomatic peripheral arterial disease patients.
Methods: Consecutive patients with symptomatic peripheral arterial disease were prospectively enrolled in the Rotarex iDissection study at a single US center after obtaining informed consent.

Unité neurovasculaire, CHU Nantes, Nantes, France.
Article Synopsis
- Eagle syndrome involves the impingement of an elongated styloid process or calcified stylohyoid ligament on neck structures, impacting vascular elements, known as stylocarotid syndrome, is less understood by doctors.
- A review of cases at the hospital showed five instances of vascular issues linked to Eagle syndrome, including serious conditions like carotid perforation and internal carotid dissections.
- There's a call for a unified definition of Eagle syndrome to improve diagnosis and treatment, with styloidectomy often used for compression, but further research is needed for other circumstances.
