When an ischemic stroke occurs due to bone or cartilage dynamically affecting vessels supplying the brain, it is called bony stroke. We herein report a patient with recurrent cryptogenic stroke that was thought to be a bony stroke. Dynamic three-dimensional computed tomography angiography revealed mechanical compression of the vertebral artery by the hyoid bone and thyroid cartilage. The patient had a recurrent stroke during antiplatelet therapy. Surgical removal of bone tissue prevents stroke recurrence.

Background: Adjacent bony structures may directly rub the carotid artery during swallowing or head and/neck movement. Long-term repeated stimulation might be considered to be a potential risk factor for carotid atherosclerotic plaque formation, development, and hazard. we defined the process as "Osteal Kneading".

Bone or cartilage anomalies affecting the arteries supplying the brain can be a structural cause of ischemic stroke. Due to their rarity, there is currently no standardized approach for evaluating and treating these so-called bony strokes. We present a case of a 79-year-old woman with a history of cranial settling due to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and moderate disability, who presented with insidious dizziness and gait disturbances over three weeks.

A case report of a 68-year-old otherwise-healthy female patient with Spetzler-Martin (SM) grade I arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in her left frontal region is presented. After an uneventful surgery, cerebral venous infarction developed, and the patient was rendered hemiparetic with motor aphasia. After bony decompression, slow improvement was seen, and 3 months after surgery, the patient was neurologically intact.

Article Synopsis
- The blood-brain barrier (BBB) makes it difficult to deliver drugs to the central nervous system (CNS), and traditional methods like transnasal delivery have had limited success due to anatomical and physiological challenges.
- Researchers developed a new technique called the minimally invasive nasal depot (MIND) that allows for precise delivery of drugs directly into the olfactory epithelium, bypassing the BBB.
- The MIND technique has shown successful delivery of therapeutic oligonucleotides in rat models, leading to positive effects in brain regions associated with neuroprotection, thus holding promise for improved treatments for neurological diseases.
Ischemic vascular accident revealing hypoplasia of the internal carotid artery in a narrowed bony canal: A case report.
Radiol Case Rep

Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy, Mohammed I University, Oujda, Morocco.
Hypoplasia of the internal carotid artery is a rare congenital abnormality that can present with an ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attacks. We present the case of a 17-year-old male who presented with right hemiparesis and dysarthria. The imaging revealed hypoplasia of the left internal carotid artery and narrowing of the left carotid duct.
