Takotsubo syndrome (TS) is an acute heart disease that mimics the typical features of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). TS is generally reported after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) due to a ruptured aneurysm, and has an incidence rate of 0.8 (17%). Here, we report a rare case of TS with unruptured intracranial aneurism. A 54-year-old woman had a history of systemic arterial hypertension and migraine. She went to a secondary hospital 2 h after sudden-onset chest pain, which irradiated to the left upper limb and back...

INTRODUCTION: Intracranial haemorrhage may complicate infective endocarditis, caused by ruptured mycotic aneurysms or haemorrhagic transformation of brain septic emboli. The risk of intracranial bleeding may increase with the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent (NSAIDs). CASE DESCRIPTION: We report on a 53-year-old male patient with a past history of intravenous drug abuse, who was treated with diclofenac (75 mg IM) for a few hours of preceding fever and arthralgia...

Ruptured intracranial aneurysms are often associated with serious neurologic sequelae, often as a result of subarachnoid or intraparenchymal hemorrhage. Less commonly, ruptured intracranial aneurysms can lead to subdural hemorrhage. However, the characteristic clinical presentation and optimal treatment of associated subdural hemorrhage are unclear due to the paucity of such cases that exist in the current literature. Affected patients may complain of nonspecific symptoms such as headaches, nausea, and confusion...

Introduction: and importance: An uncommon condition is congenital unilateral agenesis of the internal carotid artery (ICA). Most instances are asymptomatic due to adequate collateral circulation via the circle of Willis, but individuals might potentially manifest (or show) ischemic or aneurysmal dilatation hemorrhagic cerebrovascular lesions. The bony carotid canal must be absent from distinguishing this abnormality from chronic ICA blockage. Neuroradiologists must be aware of this condition since these patients have a higher risk of developing numerous intracranial diseases...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: For patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), the best replacement therapy is renal transplant (RTx) to ensure life with good quality. Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a genetic disorder and a common cause of ESRD. Different from ESRD of other causes, ADPKD patients need careful pre-RTx evaluations like detecting the presence of intracranial aneurisms, cardiac manifestations, and complications of liver and renal cysts. MATERIALS: We retrieved a total of 1327 RTx patients receiving 1382 times RTx (two recipients with three times, 48 recipients with two times) over the last 35 years...

REVIEW
A Martel
Ptosis is defined as a drooping of the upper eyelid. It often results in functional and/or aesthetic impairment. Although often benign, ptosis may be the first symptom of a life-threatening condition (carotid dissection, intracranial aneurism, generalized myasthenia). Only a rigorous, systematic and clinical examination will allow the physician to distinguish "benign ptosis" from "urgent ptosis". The history should attempt to detect a daily variation in the ptosis, suggesting myasthenia gravis. Pupillary examination should rule out myosis, which would suggest Claude Bernard-Horner's syndrome (secondary to an internal carotid dissection until proven otherwise), or mydriasis, suggesting an intracranial aneurism...

BACKGROUND: Adult polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) still represents a major cause of renal failure and intracranial aneurisms (IA) have a higher prevalence in ADPKD than in the general population. Current guidelines suggest performing brain MRI only in the subjects with a positive familiar history of IAs or subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). This is a retrospective case-control analysis to evaluate the usefulness of a MR screening program in ADPKD patients. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed all ADPKD patients followed in our outpatient clinic between 2016 and 2019 who underwent a brain MRI screening...

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a systemic disease characterized by the formation of multiple cysts in several organs. The formation of aneurysms accompanying this disease is being increasingly reported in the literature, and mutations in PKD-1 and PKD-2 are suspected in this etiology. Although the association between ADPKD and multiple coronary arteries aneurysms (CAA) was reported several times, we are presenting a case with the combination of ADPKD, multiple giant CAAs, abdominal aortic aneurysms and a suspected intracranial aneurysm, which has never been reported...

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) may be caused by trauma, aneurysm and arteriovenous malformation, as can any bleeding within the intracranial vault, including brain parenchyma and adjacent meningeal spaces (aneurism and atreovenous malformation). ICH is the cerebral stroke with the least treatable form. Over time, intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is associated with ICH, which contributes to hydrocephalus, and the major cause of most hemorrhagic death (Due to the cerebral hemorrhage and post hemorrhagic surgeries)...

Neck venous malformations and their potentially life-threatening complications are rarely reported in the available literature. Cases of aneurysmal or hypo-plastic jugular vein thrombosis associated with systemic embolization have not been frequently reported. We present the case of a 60-year-old male, without any known risk factors for thromboembolic disease, admitted for sudden onset dyspnea. The physical examination was remarkable for a right lateral cervical mass, expanding with Valsalva maneuver. Thoracic CT with contrast established the diagnosis of bilateral pulmonary embolism and raised the suspicion of superior vena cava and right atrial thrombosis...

An intracranial aneurysm (IA) is a weak or thin area on a blood vessel in the brain that balloons as it fills with blood. Genetic factors can influence the risk of developing an aneurism. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and IA in Kazakh population. The patients were genotyped for 60 single nucleotide polymorphisms. Genotyping was performed on the QuantStudio 12K Flex (Life Technologies). A linear regression analysis found 13 SNPs' significant association with development and rupture of IA: the rs1800956 polymorphism of the ENG gene, rs1756 46 polymorphism of the JDP2 gene, variant rs1800255 of the COL3A1, rs4667622 of the UBR3, rs2374513 of the c12orf75, rs3742321 polymorphism of the StAR, the rs3782356 polymorphism of MLL2 gene, rs3932338 to 214 kilobases downstream of PRDM9, rs7550260 polymorphism of the ARHGEF, rs1504749 polymorphism of the SOX17, the rs173686 polymorphism of CSPG2 gene, rs6460071 located on LIMK1 gene, and the rs4934 polymorphism of SERPINA3...

BACKGROUND AND IMPORTANCE: Stent-assisted coil embolization has been established as a treatment option for wide-necked or complex aneurysms. However, concerns have been raised about the incidence of thromboembolic complications, which is higher for coil embolization without stent assistance. Long-term antiplatelet therapy is necessary to prevent acute or delayed ischemic events potentially associated with incomplete stent apposition after treatment with stent-assisted coil embolization...

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease is the most frequent hereditary kidney disease. Intracranial aneurysm prevalence in this population is four to five times higher than the prevalence in the general population. The most frequent complication of intracranial aneurysms is rupture with subarachnoidal hemorrhage, which is associated with a high morbidity and mortality. The only identified risk factor for unruptured intracranial aneurysm is a family history of intracranial aneurysm. However, most cases of aneurysm rupture occur without any family history of intracranial aneurysm...
