Intracranial complications of acute bacterial endocarditis.
Conclusion: Here, we reviewed the literature for intracranial pathology accompanying ABE versus SBE. ABE typically results in acute ischemia, septic emboli, stroke/hemorrhagic infarcts, or ICH. SBE more classically produces septic microemboli and mycotic aneurysms that may leak, but rarely producing ICH. We also presented a patient with ABE attributed to S. aureus whose septic emboli/stroke was accompanied by a mycotic aneurysm; the ruptured resulting in a large right occipital ICH.

Acute and subacute neurovascular impact of cryptogenic air emboli
CONCLUSION: This case highlights that cerebral air emboli can cause delayed ischemia that may not be appreciated on initial imaging. As such, affected patients may require intensive neurocritical care management, close neurologic monitoring, and repeat imaging irrespective of initial radiographic findings.PMID:37680929 | PMC:PMC10481802 | DOI:10.25259/SNI_382_2023

Posterior atlantoaxial fusion using a C2 transverse foramen-penetrating screw: A technical note.
Conclusion: We introduced a novel C1-C2 transarticular screw-placement technique in which the trajectory went through the ipsilateral VA foramen due to already extent VA occlusion. PMID: 29184713 [PubMed]
