This retrospective study aimed to report the surgical treatment and outcomes of laminectomies followed by durotomy and the application of a non-synthetic collagen matrix dura substitute (DurepairTM ) in ten dogs with a spinal subarachnoid diverticulum (SAD). The medical records of these ten client-owned dogs with SAD diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were reviewed. All patients had chronic and progressive deficits. At presentation, common neurological signs were proprioceptive ataxia, ambulatory spastic paraparesis or tetraparesis, and faecal incontinence...

INTRODUCTION: Lemmel's syndrome is a rare disease presenting with obstructive jaundice, secondary to common bile duct compression by duodenal diverticulum. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 79-year-old female was admitted to our emergency department with cholangitis and obstructive jaundice, due to choledocal compression by two periampullary diverticula, with major papilla opening near the biggest one (periampullary diverticulum type III). Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography didn't succeed sphincterotomy, therefore laparoscopic rendez-vous was performed...

A 4-month-old Domestic Shorthair cat with no clinical signs was referred for further examination of a heart murmur. An echocardiogram revealed marked right atrial dilation, extending into the left hemithorax. Computed tomography angiography was conducted to investigate further, which revealed a balloon-shaped, contrast-filled cavity on the cranial and left side of the chest that connected to the right atrium through a narrow passage. This was diagnosed as a congenital right atrial diverticulum. Treatment included clopidogrel to reduce the risk of thrombus formation...

INTRODUCTION: Sigmoid sinus diverticulum (SSD) has been increasingly reported as a cause of pulsatile tinnitus (PT). While both endovascular and surgical treatments have been used, there is a lack of consensus on the treatment modality to treat SSD. We conducted a systematic review of the available literature to compare the clinical outcomes and safety of endovascular versus surgical approaches for treating SSD. METHODS: A systematic review was conducted according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses to identify studies encompassing the management of SSD...

Synchronous primary neoplasms of Meckel's diverticulum and colon malignancies are rarely reported in the literature. We present three patients with synchronous primary neoplasms of Meckel's diverticulum and colon malignancies. All tumors located in Meckel's diverticulum were incidentally found at laparotomy and the definitive diagnosis was made with microscopic examination of surgical specimens. Synchronous primary neoplasms of Meckel's diverticulum and colon malignancies are rarely encountered. Moreover, this is the first case of synchronous colon cancer and pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN) arising from pancreatic heterotopia within Meckel's diverticulum...

BACKGROUND: Spontaneous or non-traumatic bladder rupture is rare but can be life-threatening. Bladder rupture caused by a diverticulum is extremely rare, with only a few case reports in medical literature. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 32-year-old woman admitted to hospital complaints of abdominal pain, oliguria and ascites with no history of trauma. Laboratory tests revealed an elevated serum urea nitrogen(UN) level of 33.5 mmol/l and an elevated creatinine levels of 528 umol/l...

Catheter ablation therapy for persistent atrial fibrillation (PeAF) is both difficult and has limited outcomes. The mechanisms underlying the development and persistence of atrial fibrillation (AF) are not fully understood; therefore, ablation strategies are diverse. A 45-year-old man was referred to our hospital for persistent atrial fibrillation to undergo radiofrequency catheter insertion (RFCA). In the first session we conducted pulmonary vein isolation and additional linear ablation, including that of the roof line and posterior inferior line (posterior box lesion) as the stepwise ablation...

BACKGROUND: A right-sided aortic arch is a rare congenital vascular structure variation. Right lobectomy is not commonly performed on patients with such a condition. Further, there are no reports on lobectomy under uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) in this patient group. CASE PRESENTATION: A 67-year-old man with a right-sided aortic arch and Kommerell diverticulum underwent right upper lobectomy with mediastinal lymph node dissection under uniportal VATS for primary lung cancer...

Ventricular diverticula are saccule-like structures formed by the protrusion of the ventricular myocardium from the endocardial surface towards the free wall. Most diverticula are muscular structures, and patients usually have no obvious clinical symptoms. However, diverticula may contribute to arrhythmogenesis due to localized myocardial structural disturbances. Right ventricular apical diverticulum (RVAD) is very rare, and we report a case of highly symptomatic accelerated idioventricular rhythm (AIVR) originating from the RVAD that underwent intracardiac echocardiography (ICE)-guided catheter ablation with no recurrence during follow-up...

BACKGROUND: Primary appendiceal tumors are rare. Low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasia (LAMN) and goblet cell adenocarcinoma (GCA) account for 20% and 14% of primary appendiceal tumors, respectively. The coexistence of LAMN and GCA is an extremely rare event. This report presents a case of an elderly male patient with an appendiceal tumor composed of LAMN and GCA in the same appendix. CASE PRESENTATION: A 72-year-old male patient was admitted to our institution presenting with a history of abdominal pain localized to the right lower quadrant for two months...

Intussusception is rare in adults, accounting for 1 to 5 % of mechanical bowel obstructions. It is due to pathologic lead point within the bowel which is malignant in up to 77 % of cases. Benign lesions may also be responsible for intussusception (polyp, Meckel diverticulum). The lead point is pulled forward by normal peristaltism, prolapsing the affected segment of bowel into another segment. The most common presentation in adults is intermittent abdominal pain and bowel obstruction (nausea, vomiting, inability to pass gas or stools)...

Congenital anomalies and defects of the skull base and calvarium encompass a broad and complex spectrum of pathologies. The clinical presentation is highly variable, and these anomalies may be discovered incidentally in asymptomatic individuals. Radiological assessment plays a pivotal role in precisely characterizing these abnormalities, facilitating the diagnostic process, and assisting in any preoperative preparation.

Zenker diverticulum is a rare disease accounting for 1.5-5% of esophageal diverticula. For a long time, surgical treatment of Zenker pharyngoesophageal diverticula implied open diverticulectomy via cervical approach. However, this intervention is characterized by high postoperative morbidity and recurrence rate. Oral endoscopic minimally invasive cricopharyngoesophagomyotomy has become widespread over the past 10 years. We present a 55-year-old female who underwent endoscopic treatment for recurrent Zenker diverticulum and postoperative esophageal stricture...

INTRODUCTION: Bezoars are a known cause of complications in Meckel's diverticulum. We present a case in which a bezoar in a Meckel's diverticulum resulted in intestinal obstruction. In addition, we conducted a narrative review to explore the association between Meckel's diverticulum and bezoars. CASE PRESENTATION: We present the case of a 22-year-old patient admitted for bowel obstruction persisting for three days and periumbilical tenderness. Abdominal CT tomography revealed a hyper dense circular structure with a diameter of 2 cm, small bowel distension of 41 mm, and free fluid...
