Bilateral posterior fracture-dislocation of the shoulders is a very rare entity with an average rate of 0.6/100000 per year. It was first described in 1902 by Mynter. Only a few cases have been published so far. The "triple E syndrome" is used to describe the causative factors involved in this injury - epilepsy, electrocution, extreme trauma. We present our experience since 2019 with 2 cases of bilateral posterior fracture-dislocation of the shoulders after an epileptic seizure in patients with cranial meningiomas. Total removal of the meningiomas was performed in both cases and afterwards the patients were operated on by the traumatology team. The shoulder joint is the most commonly dislocated joint in the body with less than 4 % being posteriorly dislocated. Bilateral fracture-dislocation of the shoulders is associated with "triple E syndrome" and 90 % of the cases are related to seizures. The diagnosis is usually delayed due to the lack of signs of trauma. Early diagnosis and proper surgical treatment can maximize the final functional results and patient recovery.

Aberrant functional connectivity between the retrosplenial cortex and hippocampal subregions in amnestic mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease.
Brain Commun

Department of Radiology, Aerospace Center Hospital, Beijing 100049, China.
The posterior cingulate cortex and hippocampus are the core regions involved in episodic memory, and they exhibit functional connectivity changes in the development and progression of Alzheimer's disease. Previous studies have demonstrated that the posterior cingulate cortex and hippocampus are both cytoarchitectonically heterogeneous regions. Specifically, the retrosplenial cortex, typically subsumed under the posterior cingulate cortex, is an area functionally and anatomically distinct from the posterior cingulate cortex, and the hippocampus is composed of several subregions that participate in multiple cognitive processes.

Background: Left atrial dissection is a rare and occasionally fatal complication of cardiac surgery and is defined as the creation of a false chamber through a tear in the mitral valve annulus extending into the left atrial wall. Some patients are asymptomatic, while others present with various symptoms, such as chest pain, dyspnea, and even cardiac arrest. Although there is no established management for left atrial dissection, surgery should be considered in patients with hemodynamic disruption.

Objective: This study aims to determine the anatomical relationship between the posterior superior alveolar artery (PSAA) and the lateral wall of the maxillary sinus during preoperative radiological evaluations in the posterior maxillary dental region, as well as to evaluate the prevalence of PSAA and its potential associations with sinus pathologies.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study is based on the analysis of Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) data from 510 sinuses of 255 patients. The visibility of the PSAA vascular canal, artery diameters, vertical distance between the alveolar crest and the artery, and the distance to the sinus floor were measured in coronal sections.
C1 Posterior Arch Screws for the Additional Reinforcement of Upper Cervical Spine Fixation: Surgical Technique and Preliminary Case Series.

Department of Endocrinology, Yinzhou No.2 Hospital, Ningbo, Zhejiang 315040, China. Electronic address:
Objective: This study aims to evaluate the clinical outcomes of utilizing C1 posterior arch screws (PAS) combined with C2 translaminar screws as an adjunct for reinforcing upper cervical spine fixation.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on four male patients who underwent surgery involving C1 PASs and C2 translaminar screws between January 2022 and February 2024. Surgical technique involved the insertion of standard C1 lateral mass screws (LMS) and C2 pedicle screws, followed by the placement of C1 PASs and C2 translaminar screws for additional fixation.

Burn injuries in patients with significant pre-existing medical conditions provide unique challenges in both medical management and surgical planning. Spasticity, if left untreated, can be one of the most disabling consequences of a neurologic injury. Treatment is largely dependent on pharmacologic management with anti-spasmodic agents such as baclofen.
