A review of 144 carotid endarterectomies performed in 108 patients at the Oklahoma Health Science Center over the past six years showed an acceptable operative morbidity and mortality in group of patients with an asymptomatic midcervical bruit who underwent prophylactic carotid endarterectomy prior to anticipated elective surgery. Long-term follow-up showed these patients to be free of neurologic symptoms of fatalities in 100 per cent of long-term survivors and suggests that carefully selected patients with an asymptomatic bruit may undergo carotid endarterectomy to prevent future neurologic complication.

Article Synopsis
- Lipomas are benign tumors made up of fat tissue, and while they are the most common type of mesenchymal tumor, they are rare in the oral and maxillofacial regions.
- This study focuses on a unique case of a large lipoma found in the buccal space of a 38-year-old obese male, who had been experiencing a non-painful cheek swelling that grew over four years.
- The lipoma was successfully removed via an intraoral approach, measured 7.0 cm × 5.3 cm × 1.6 cm, and did not show any signs of recurrence after histopathology confirmed the diagnosis.

Aim Of The Study: The aim of this case report is to evaluate carotid duplex and hemodynamic patterns in an asymptomatic male patient with innominate artery occlusion. Innominate artery occlusion is a rare clinical entity that can lead to a range of cerebrovascular symptoms, including arm claudication, subclavian steal syndrome, and stroke. The case report emphasizes key learning points in diagnosing innominate artery occlusion using imaging and physiological methods.

Aneurysms of the splenic artery leading to extrahepatic portal hypertension are sporadic and infrequently encountered. They typically manifest as a consequence of thrombus or embolus formation. A splenic artery aneurysm (SAA) represents a localized expansion in the diameter of the splenic artery and is one of the most prevalent forms of visceral artery aneurysms.
