Dissection with subarachnoid hemorrhage is an unstable and dangerous condition because of the high rate of rerupture. The mortality of dissecting pseudoaneurysm is the worst among cerebral aneurysms. Dissecting pseudoaneurysms causing subarachnoid hemorrhage should be treated by endovascular intervention in the acute phase in most of the cases. Life-saving intervention must be performed urgently. Based on the treatment principle, interventions can be divided into two groups: deconstructive techniques involving the occlusion of the parent vessel and reconstructive techniques involving the preservation of the parent vessel. During reconstructive endovascular treatment, we currently use flow diverters, the disadvantage of which is that they require double platelet aggregation treatment, which complicates or prevents further open neurosurgical operations. A deconstructive technique is occlusion of the parent vessel proximal to the origin of the dissection. Good radiological and clinical results can be achieved using both techniques. In our case report, the unconscious state of a young boy was caused by massive ventricular hemorrhage and cerebral hematoma, the background of which was the rupture of an A2 dissection pseudoaneurysm. Parent vessel occlusion was performed urgently, while preserving the Heubner artery. With our treatment, a symptom-free recovery was achieved.

Purpose: Thyroid eye disease (TED) presents challenges in the accurate assessment of disease activity, especially concerning ocular surface manifestations. This study aims to evaluate the potential of anterior segment optical coherence tomography angiography (AS-OCTA) in quantifying vascular changes associated with TED, thereby enhancing understanding of its pathophysiology and aiding in diagnosis and management.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study involving 29 TED patients and 21 healthy controls.

Background: Childhood obesity is a growing public health concern, associated with several systemic disorders including changes in retinal microvasculature. This study aims to assess the relationship between body composition, biochemical markers, and retinal microvascular changes in obese children.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 45 overweight and obese children and 46 age- and sex-matched healthy individuals were evaluated.

Post-mortem examinations of fetuses and newborns with congenital anomalies pose significant challenges, especially in cases of induced termination of pregnancy. To address this, we explored the use of virtual post-mortem examination (VPM) via computed tomography angiography (CTA) as a potential alternative. The study was conducted at Sheba Medical Center from January 2013 to June 2019.

We report a case in which a novel distal access catheter proved successful in the placement of a flow diverter for a challenging distal cerebral artery lesion. We discuss the advantages and pitfalls of this technique and considerations for its use. A 74-year-old female presented with intermittent headaches, and was diagnosed with a dissecting aneurysm at the proximal right posterior cerebral artery with a sharp bleb, measuring 9.
