Digital subtraction techniques used in the examination of eight patients with salivary and nasolacrimal disease are described. Pleomorphic adenoma, ductal stricture, extrinsic masses, parotid-otic fistula, and a radiolucent calculus were demonstrated. The procedures are more easily performed than film techniques, and pathology is better demonstrated by digital ductography than on a film examination. Image subtraction, reregistration, and window manipulation allowed clear demonstration of ducts about the head and neck, overcoming limitations imposed by inherently high object contrast. Digital subtraction ductography is an important nonvascular application of digital imaging technology.

Aggressive Behavior of Recurrent Middle Cerebral Artery Aneurysms: A Case Series.
Cureus
December 2024
Vascular Neurosurgery, National Institute of Neurology and Neurosurgery, Mexico City, MEX.
The bifurcation of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) is one of the most common sites for the formation of cerebral aneurysms, presenting significant challenges for surgical management. A primary concern in this area is the recurrence of aneurysms following surgical clipping, which necessitates a thorough investigation of the contributing factors. This study examined all cases of rebleeding from previously clipped MCA aneurysms among 195 surgically treated patients over an 11-year period.

Department of Neurosurgery, Medical Research Institute Kitano Hospital, PIIF Tazuke-Kofukai, Osaka, JPN.
Intramedullary spinal cord metastasis (ISCM) is a rare manifestation of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). A 73-year-old man presented with left shoulder pain and left upper extremity weakness for two months. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed intramedullary and intradural extramedullary lesions at the C5 level, compressing the spinal cord from the center of the cord and the left ventral side.

Department of Emergency and Critical Care Medicine Institute of Medicine, University of Tsukuba Hospital Tsukuba Ibaraki Japan.
Background: Traumatic intracranial aneurysms (TICAs) can be fatal if ruptured. We report a case of a TICA, distant from facial bone fractures, successfully treated with flow diverter (FD) before rupture.
Case Presentation: A 20-year-old woman was admitted following a car accident.

Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University, Guangzhou, China.
Background: There are few reports about the one-stage surgery of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) + mitral valve transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) around the world. TAVR + M-TEER surgery is usually performed under the simultaneous guidance of digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and echocardiography. There is no report of TAVR surgery assisted only by echocardiography all over the world.

Int Med Case Rep J
January 2025
Department of Cardiology, Rugao Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University, Rugao People's Hospital, Nantong, Jiangsu, People's Republic of China.
Background: Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is usually caused by acute occlusion of the cerebral artery. Bilateral anterior cerebral arteries (ACAs) originating from the anterior communicating branch of the same internal carotid artery are a rare anatomical variation in clinical practice. Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) of simultaneous acute occlusion of the bilateral ACAs with this variation has rarely been reported.
