Accidental intra-arterial injections of radiotracers are rare events resulting in a specific imaging pattern, described as "hot-forearm," "hot-hand," "glove-phenomenon," or "glove-like pattern." We present a case 68 Ga-DOTATATE total-body PET/CT for restaging of a neuroendocrine tumor, where intra-arterial misinjection resulted in a glove phenomenon. Since patients may present with minimal symptoms, like in this case, and PET findings may only be seen at the distal upper extremity (placed above the head), these accidental injections may be more frequently detected with total-body PET/CT due to the longer field-of-view.

The median sacral artery (MSA) is the single unpaired dorsal branch of the abdominal aorta. The present case describes the relatively unusual origin of the median sacral artery in common with the fourth pair of lumbar arteries via a common trunk in a 74-year-old males' cadaver. Unusual common trunk is prone for iatrogenic injury in surgeries of the lumbar and pelvic region.

Accidental arterial embolization of hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers can lead to severe complications, including skin ischemia, blindness, and stroke. Currently, the intra-arterial dispersal and fragmentation behavior of HA gels is unknown but critical to our understanding of the pathomechanism of these injuries. This work introduces the Pulsatile Unit for the Laboratory Simulation of Arterio-embolic Restrictions (PULSAR) and evaluates the intravascular behavior of different HA gels.

An artery may be entered on the dorsum of the hand with the mistaken belief that it is a vein. Intraarterial injection of drugs is one of the dreadful consequences of accidental intraarterial cannulation. In this case of a 3-month-old infant, we emphasize the fact that careful observation can prevent unintentional intraarterial drug injection via an 'assumed intravenous' cannula and prevent the associated morbidity.
