We describe a minimally invasive endovascular approach to treat an arteriovenous fistula of the scalp. We performed a direct puncture of the lesion through the patient's scalp for liquid embolic agent injection along with external compression of the superficial temporal artery to perform a "manual pressure-cooker technique." The combination of these minimally invasive techniques resulted in an excellent clinical and radiographic outcome.

Direct endovascular treatment may be more appropriate for patients with good collateral circulation: a retrospective case-control study.

Article Synopsis
- Recent studies indicate that endovascular treatment (EVT) alone is as effective as combining intravenous thrombolysis with EVT (IVT + EVT) for treating acute ischemic stroke due to large-vessel occlusion, although some research suggests specific patient subgroups may benefit more from IVT.
- This study analyzed data from 238 patients who underwent EVT or IVT + EVT to determine how collateral circulation affects clinical outcomes, using various statistical methods to control for factors like age and stroke severity.
- Findings revealed that patients with good collateral circulation had significantly better outcomes at 90 days, including lower disability scores, higher success rates of recanalization, and reduced rates of complications such as hemorrhage and mortality.
Effect of vasoconstriction by dexmedetomidine in the mandible of rat.

Background: In recent years, dexmedetomidine (DEX) has been proposed as a useful vasoconstrictor for local anesthesia because it is less effective in circulation than clonidine of antihypertensive drugs. In addition, DEX is expected to act as a vasoconstrictor during local anesthesia. However, histomorphometric studies demonstrating that DEX exerts vasoconstrictive effects are lacking.

Proper skull base repair is essential in preventing postoperative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak following endonasal endoscopic skull base surgery. Direct suturing of the skull base dura is desirable but difficult. Here, we discuss the effectiveness of endoscopic suturing of skull base dura in cases of skull base lesions with intraoperative CSF leak.

During surgery for oval fossa defects, inadvertent suturing of pericardial patches to a prominent Eustachian valve diverts the inferior vena caval blood to the left atrium causing iatrogenic cyanosis. A similar complication may arise after surgery for superior sinus venosus defects. Surgical patch in a wrong plane may direct the superior vena cava towards the left atrium.

Western equine encephalitis is a zoonotic viral disease transmitted by the bite of an infected mosquito. Humans are terminal hosts and since they develop a very low and short lasting viremia, they are incapable of transmitting the disease. Most cases are asymptomatic, but it can present with high fever, myalgia and encephalitis or meningitis.
