Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are clonal hematopoietic stem cell disorders commonly characterized by excessive production of blood cell lineages. The JAK2 V617F mutation plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of these conditions, often leading to thrombotic complications. Here, we present the case of a 21-year-old man who presented with acute abdominal pain and was found to have portal vein thrombosis with splenomegaly.

Introduction: Portal hypertension is a common complication of liver cirrhosis. Varices are dilated collaterals that develop as a result of portal hypertension at the level of the porto-systemic connections and can cause a shift in the blood flow from high to low pressure. Common locations for porto-systemic shunts are the lower oesophagus and the gastric fundus.

Introduction: Internal iliac artery aneurysms (IIAAs) are an uncommon but clinically significant vascular condition that can lead to life-threatening complications, such as rupture and endoleaks, following endovascular repair. Endoleaks particularly type IIa, occur when there is retrograde flow into the aneurysm sac from collateral vessels, and their presence can jeopardize the success of repair procedures. This case report illustrates a rare occurrence of a type IIa endoleak attributed to retrograde filling from the profunda femoris artery, providing insights into the diagnostic complexities and management of IIAAs.

A 38-year-old man was evaluated for heart palpitations and chest pain diagnosed with atrial fibrillation, left ventricular ejection fraction 30%, and moderate aortic insufficiency. On echocardiographic control, evidence of aortic bicuspid valve and aortic coarctation on the isthmus with dilated epiaortic vessels. Computed tomography angiography confirmed the presence of aortic coarctation of the descending portion of the arch with supply of the thoracic aorta by collateral vessels originating from the brachiocephalic vessels.

Background: The cerebral arterial circle variants are well-described due to their clinical significance for neurosurgeons and neuroradiologists.
Materials And Methods: This magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) report describes the unusual coexistence of three cerebral variants incidentally identifiedin a 44-year-old female patient.
Results: The right-sided first segment (A1) of the anterior cerebral artery (ACA) was absent, and both the posterior cerebral arteries (PCAs) originated from the internal carotid arteries (ICAs).
