Mycotic aneurysm of the extracranial internal carotid artery - resect and ligate or reconstruct?
This report highlights a case of ECA aneurysm infection presenting with stroke and an occluded internal carotid artery, likely due to microbial arteritis on a background of osteomyelitis. Operative intervention was performed to definitively treat the infection and prevent the potential associated complications.

Conventional and molecular imaging in sickle cell disease
Conclusions: Central nervous system: About 25% of SCD patients are affected by vascular involvement of central nervous system. CT scan has been used to detect cerebral infarction. Subclinical cranial MRI lesions yield important predictive values as a risk factor of stroke, even when detected in asymptomatic patients. SPECT is a useful technique for early detection of deficits in cerebral perfusion in patients with SCD. Decreases in cerebral perfusions may lead to silent infarction, stroke, or neurocognitive diseases. PET may improve sensitivity in detection of impaired metabolism in the area surrounding a major vessel infa...

Surgical management of post-COVID invasive rhino-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis and its outcomes: Role of neurosurgeons in a tertiary care center
CONCLUSION: In high-risk patients, a high level of clinical suspicion combined with appropriate investigations should be performed as soon as possible. Symptoms and early warning signs should not be overlooked, as treatment delays can be fatal. A minimally invasive surgical approach is possible in view of decreasing the morbidity of large craniotomy.PMID:36128146 | PMC:PMC9479606 | DOI:10.25259/SNI_374_2022
