Spontaneous iliac vein rupture (SIVR) is an uncommon disease with less than sixty cases reported before. This disease often requires surgical intervention. SIVR has never been imaged in the literature. This report shows how to image this diagnosis. A 71-year-old female was diagnosed with SIVR with the use of CT venography. Endovascular repair with 2 endografts and a sinus XL stent was performed. Postoperatively, the patient developed abdominal compartment syndrome and a large part of the intestines had to be removed because of ischemia. This is the first report that shows SIVR before and after endovascular treatment with the use of CT venography by injecting a contrast bolus in the femoral vein. This information is of high interest for a broad range of clinicians to show or exclude a venous abdominal bleeding in an early stage.

Background: Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a congenital heart defect that requires closure to prevent complications like heart failure and pulmonary hypertension. Catheter-based closure using devices such as the Amplatzer duct occluder is the preferred method due to its minimally invasive nature. However, device embolization is a rare but recognized complication, particularly in small children or high-flow PDAs.

Lumbar hernia (LH) is a rare abdominal wall hernia that occurs within the anatomic boundaries of the 12th rib, iliac crest, external oblique muscles, erector spinae muscles, and vertebral column. Secondary LH after urological surgery is rare, and the limited evidence hinders consensus on optimal surgical treatment. Here, we present a case of laparoscopic intraperitoneal onlay mesh (IPOM) repair for a large, symptomatic secondary LH after retroperitoneoscopic nephrectomy (RN) with mid-term postoperative outcomes.

BACKGROUND Acute epiploic appendagitis is an uncommon cause of acute abdominal pain characterized by pain in the left or right lower quadrants of the abdomen. It is caused by torsion or spontaneous venous thrombosis of one of the epiploic appendages, which are found along the colon, most commonly in the sigmoid colon. The literature consistently compares the presenting symptoms and clinical picture of acute epiploic appendagitis to acute diverticulitis and acute appendicitis.

Vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (vEDS) is a rare disorder that is characterized by vascular lesions mainly caused by vascular fragility, such as spontaneous carotid-cavernous fistula (sCCF). We experienced a patient who presented with sCCF but suffered postoperative multiple vascular arteriopathy complications caused by undiagnosed vEDS. A 39-year-old woman who had no physical and medical characteristics indicating vEDS was referred to our hospital due to sudden onset of headache and pulsatile tinnitus.

- - Postpartum venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a serious complication that can occur after childbirth, driven by factors like increased blood clotting, reduced mobility, and injury to blood vessels, leading to high risks for new mothers.
- - A case study details a 37-year-old woman with a history of recurrent clots and pregnancy issues that ultimately resulted in severe chronic venous obstruction despite various treatments, necessitating advanced procedures like stent implantation.
- - The patient's medical journey involved multiple challenges, including spontaneous abortions, a pulmonary embolism linked to contraceptive use, and serious complications during and after her last pregnancy, highlighting the importance of careful monitoring and effective prevention strategies for postpartum VTE.
