A report of intracranial hypertension in unruptured cerebral arteriovenous malformation (AVMs) is presented. A 16-years-old obese female presented with a first episode of acute severe headache and papilledema. Non-contrasted computer tomography scan demonstrated no evidence of hemorrhage or
Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) are present in approximately 15-50% individuals with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT). They may be isolated but more often are multiple. The goal of this study was to evaluate the influence of PAVMs on lung mechanical properties.
We reviewed
BACKGROUND
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is one of the most common clinical manifestations of human brain arteriovenous malformation (BAVM). However, the hemorrhagic mechanism of BAVM is still unclear. Leptin, first discovered in obesity research, has not been systematically studied in BAVM and
The availability of multiple investigating modalities should be utilized to arrive at the correct diagnosis of the spinal arteriovenous malformation (AVM). We hereby report the case of a 21-year-old, obese female, who presented with paraplegia and impaired bowel control two years after an episode of
Arteriovenous malformations may be congenital or acquired. In the latter case, usually a traumatic injury to the arteries precedes the arteriovenous anastomoses. Two elderly patients presented with large, purple-colored verrucous tumors on the buttocks. Both patients were obese and immobile, and
A 49-year-old morbidly obese woman with metastatic endometrial carcinoma was referred for evaluation of an incidentally identified large right thyroid nodule found on computed tomography performed for cancer evaluation. Ultrasound revealed a 9.7 cm solid isoechoic homogeneous right thyroid nodule.
Pulmonary embolism is not uncommonly encountered in orthopedic patients with high risks, such as prolonged immobility, obesity, past or family history of thromboembolism, pelvic and long bone fractures. Here we report a young male patient with a residual cerebral arteriovenous malformation
Pial arteriovenous fistulae (AVFs) are rare vascular abnormalities that are distinct from arteriovenous malformations and dural AVFs. These vascular lesions have been linked with trauma, ischemic syndromes, venous thrombotic diseases, and intracranial surgical procedures. In this report we describe
Pulmonary embolism following postoperative deep venous thrombosis is a very serious complication with a high mortality rate. Though this disorder has been thought to be rare in Japanese, its occurrence seems to be increasing recently because of changes in eating habits, increase of average age and
Cerebral artery fenestrations are usually detected incidentally during angiography, have a reported incidence ranging from of 0.03% to 1%, and rarely cause neurological symptoms. They can, however, be associated with aneurysmal dilatation at the proximal or distal end of the fenestration, cerebral
METHODS
A retrospective review.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to demonstrate proof-of-concept of preoperative percutaneous intraosseous fiducial marker placement before thoracic spine surgery.
BACKGROUND
Wrong-level spine surgery is defined as a never event by Center for Medicare Services, yet
OBJECTIVE
To determine whether perioperative subcutaneous heparin is safe to use for patients undergoing craniotomy and to determine the incidence of venous thromboembolism in patients undergoing craniotomy.
METHODS
Perioperative prophylaxis with subcutaneous heparin, 5000 U every 12 hours, was
A 45-year-old woman presented for evaluation for 3 months of coughing and dyspnea. A recent chest CT scan done for workup of her symptoms revealed a 2-cm right-sided pulmonary nodule. She had a medical history of Sjögren syndrome, hypertension, and obesity. She also noted a weight loss of 30 lb over
BACKGROUND
The popularity of bariatric surgery has increased in recent years with the escalating incidence of morbid obesity in our society. The improvement in minimally invasive technology and the increased number of laparoscopic bariatric procedures being performed have resulted in the discovery
Our purpose was to determine the incidence and risk factors associated with in-hospital venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). The Nationwide Inpatient Sample database was queried from 2002 to 2010 for hospital admissions for subarachnoid hemorrhage
