The accessory meningeal artery (AMA) demonstrates various potential anastomoses with the external (ECA) and internal (ICA) carotid arteries. However, rarely does the AMA markedly dilate and compensate for ICA blood flow. A 52-year-old woman with nonspecific symptoms was diagnosed with multiple cerebral aneurysms and abnormal blood vessels observed on magnetic resonance angiography. Digital subtraction angiography revealed four aneurysms and anastomoses between the left AMA and inferolateral trunk (ILT). In addition, two sequential severe flexions were observed in the cervical portion of the left ICA. No ischemic lesions were detected on magnetic resonance imaging. In conclusion, we experienced a rare case in which the AMA-ILT anastomosis was highly developed. This case also presented with the unusual characteristics of an anomaly in the extracranial ICA and multiple aneurysms.

We present a case of Ramsay Hunt syndrome in a previously healthy 49-year-old male, complicated by ipsilateral glossopharyngeal, vagus, accessory, and hypoglossal nerve palsies, along with meningitis. Despite a course of antiviral therapy and steroids for meningitis, the patient experienced a relapse, developing varicella-zoster virus (VZV) brainstem encephalitis after an initial period of stability. Hunt syndrome can be encountered in otolaryngology and internal medicine, dermatology, and other specialties.

is an emerging pathogen that causes life-threatening infections in neonates and immunocompromised patients. In this study, we performed next-generation sequencing (NGS) to characterize 10 strains isolated from clinical patients in Nantong, China. Core, accessory, and unique genomes were composed of 2,891, 1,633, and 498 genes, respectively.

The occipitocervical junction is formed by the foramen magnum (FM) and the adjacent anatomical structures of the C1 and C2 vertebrae. The FM is formed anteriorly by the basilar part of occipital bone. Anterolaterally, it borders the occipital condyles and hypoglossal canal as well as the jugular foramen.

Background: We describe techniques for safe resection of a Type 3 foramen magnum meningioma with dorsal displacement of the accessory nerve rootlets and vertebral artery which limits ventral access to the tumor.
Method: Partial sectioning of the accessory nerve rootlets may help create larger working space. Topical lidocaine placement on the rootlets of the spinal accessory nerve may mitigate trapezius muscle contraction and facilitates further progress throughout tumor resection.

Objective: Internal carotid artery (ICA) agenesis has been classified into six types: A-F. Type F demonstrates distal reconstitution of the ICA via anastomosis with distal branches of the external carotid artery. Herein, we report the ICA agenesis of type F without rete-like collaterals, which has not been previously reported.
