Background: Ventricular arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are localized in the ventricles and are mainly fed by the anterior choroidal artery (AChoA) and posterior choroidal artery (PChoA). Surgical resection of ventricular AVMs is difficult as the lesions are localized deep in the brain. Therefore, endovascular treatment is expected to treat ventricular AVMs. However, embolization from the AChoA and PChoA carries the risk of ischemic complications. Even though there are some major reports on embolization strategies from the choroidal arteries, embolization of these arteries remains technically challenging. In this article, we report two successful cases of ventricular AVM embolization using AChoA and PChoA.
Case Description: Case 1: A 34-year-old male presented with intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH). Subsequently, ventricular AVM embolization in the anterior horn was performed using n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (NBCA) through the AChoA and medial PChoA, and complete obliteration was observed without neurological deterioration. Case 2: A 71-year-old female presented with IVH. Subsequently, ventricular AVM embolization in the lateral ventricle was performed through the AChoA and lateral PChoA with Onyx and NBCA, and partial obliteration was observed without complications. Furthermore, Gamma Knife surgery for residual lesions resulted in complete obliteration.
Conclusion: Embolization through the choroidal arteries for ventricular AVMs is an effective curative or adjunctive treatment.

This article presents a clinical case of ocular thrombotic microangiopathy of mixed origin (antiphospholipid syndrome, malignant arterial hypertension, multigenic thrombophilia). Multimodal imaging of the fundus provides a detailed assessment of its structures. Pathological changes in the choroid, the "retinal pigment epithelium - Bruch's membrane" complex, and the neurosensory retina, identified using fundus photography, short-wavelength autofluorescence, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and OCT angiography, are described as nonspecific in nature.

Purpose: To describe a case in which a right replaced posterior cerebral artery (PCA) was associated with an ipsilateral superior cerebellar artery (SCA) type persistent trigeminal artery (PTA) variant.
Methods: A 53-year-old man who had been diagnosed with chronic dissection of the left vertebral artery (VA) 4 months previously underwent follow-up magnetic resonance (MR) angiography using a 3-Tesla scanner.
Results: MR angiography showed a slightly dilated left VA at the terminal segment without interval change.

Purpose: To report a case of vision recovery after ocular massage for cosmetic filler-induced ophthalmic artery occlusion.
Observations: A 58-year-old female experienced acute loss of vision of the left eye, left ptosis, and left glabellar skin discoloration immediately after cosmetic filler injection, suggestive of occlusion of the branches of the ophthalmic artery. Highly aggressive, prolonged ocular massage was initiated soon after and followed by a substantial recovery of vision.

Variants of the cerebral arterial circle, both common and rare, are frequently documented. The authors present a distinct case involving a 54-year-old male patient who underwent a computed tomography angiogram (CTA), which was analyzed using planar slices and 3-dimensional reconstruction. In this case, the left posterior cerebral artery (PCA) received the posterior communicating artery (PComA) 7 mm distal to its origin from the basilar artery (BA).
