Distal posterior cerebral artery aneurysms consist of a rare vascular entity whose treatment approach remains challenging. Few studies exist scarcely in the literature reporting cases of P4 ruptured aneurysms. In this study, we present the case of a 49-year-old female patient who was admitted to our Neurosurgery Department with the World Federation of Neurological Surgeons grade IV, Fischer grade IV subarachnoid hemorrhage due to a right distal posterior cerebral artery aneurysm. She successfully underwent surgery via a posterior occipital interhemispheric approach. The patient recovered well from surgery, and the following days, she was successfully extubated and had a significant neurological improvement. However, she died during her rehabilitation due to sepsis and severe acute respiratory distress syndrome.

A 54-year-old male underwent a low anterior resection in 2015 for rectal adenocarcinoma. He presented to the emergency department with a two-week history of fever, perianal pain, an erythematous, warm, and actively draining mass. Physical examination revealed a perianal abscess in the left posterior gluteal region, with a palpable internal fistulous orifice 3 cm from the anal margin.

A ruptured popliteal artery aneurysm (PPA) is a life-threatening condition that can mimic deep vein thrombosis and lead to critical limb ischemia. Immediate and accurate diagnosis is essential to save the patient's life and limb. A 73-year-old male presented with acute pain in the posterior aspect of the right knee.

Piriformis syndrome (PS) is an underdiagnosed condition, caused by entrapment of the sciatic nerve by the piriformis muscle tendon and adhesions in the deep gluteal space. We present a step-by-step endoscopic technique with the patient in a prone position through a posterior approach. This approach provides improved orientation for tracking the sciatic nerve from distal to proximal, facilitating the release of all adhesions and concluding with a piriformis tendon release.
