Adenosine is extensively utilized in myocardial stress perfusion imaging for the detection and risk stratification of coronary artery disease. It has a well-established safety profile. The majority of the undesirable effects experienced during adenosine infusion are transient (owing to its brief half-life of ~10 s) and arise from the stimulation of receptors in the atrio-ventricular (AV) node (AV block) and bronchial smooth muscles (bronchospasm).

This case report discusses a unique presentation of an artery of Percheron (AOP) infarct resulting in rapidly resolving internuclear ophthalmoplegia (INO) without classical signs. This is the case of a 70-year-old male patient who presented to a community Emergency Department following acute code stroke activation. Physical exam and imaging studies including non-contrast CT, CT angiography, CT perfusion, and MRI were performed.

Cold agglutinin disease (CAD) is a rare autoimmune hemolytic anemia caused by cold-reactive IgM antibodies leading to complement-mediated hemolysis. While CAD-associated venous thromboembolism is recognized, its role in arterial thromboembolic events, particularly ischemic stroke, is poorly defined. We report an 84-year-old woman who developed acute onset upper left extremity weakness following exposure to sub-zero temperatures.

Article Synopsis
  • The text discusses a rare case of a 38-year-old female with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, experiencing severe angina due to multiple coronary microfistulae and a myocardial bridge.
  • Diagnosis was confirmed through various tests, including an electrocardiogram and CT coronary angiography, which revealed specific abnormalities like left ventricular enlargement and a left anterior descending artery myocardial bridge.
  • The conclusion highlights that in cases of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, angina may result from unusual factors like coronary artery fistulae or myocardial bridges, and CT coronary angiography is recommended for effective screening and treatment planning.

Primary intracranial sarcomas constitute a rare group of tumors, with the most common types described in the literature being chondrosarcoma and fibrosarcoma. Dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDLS) is a high-grade sarcoma that sometimes metastasizes to the brain. However, a primary intracranial DDLS is exceedingly rare.
