Torcular dural sinus malformations (tDSMs) with high-flow fistulas pose complex management challenges due to their vascularity and the delicate neuroanatomy involved. This report presents the case of a child with tDSM and hydrocephalus, who underwent 3 staged embolization procedures but required a redo intervention due to residual malformation and venous hypertension. Utilizing the pressure cooker technique (PCT) in a redo setting allowed for high-pressure, targeted embolic delivery with minimized reflux, achieving near-complete occlusion and significant symptom relief.

While exercise has been demonstrated to alleviate these cognitive deficits, the precise neural mechanisms underlying these effects remain poorly understood. This study examines the effects of exercise on attentional control in individuals with high trait anxiety, based on attentional control theory, which suggests that such individuals have reduced top-down attention.
