Infectious Cavernous Sinus Thrombosis Presenting as Temporal Arteritis-A Case Report.

Project description:Cavernous sinus thrombosis (CST) is rare and can present with various nonspecific symptoms. The high mortality rate of this disease is largely due to delayed recognition and treatment. We report a case who presented with unrelenting headache and was diagnosed with temporal arteritis (TA) but did not respond to steroids. Imaging helped make the CST diagnosis and the patient responded well to treatment. This case reiterates the importance of early recognition and treatment of CST, and reminds physicians to include CST as an essential differential diagnosis of TA.

Case Report: Anomalous Origin of the Right Coronary Artery From the Left Sinus of Valsalva With Aortic Dissection: New Myocardial Ischemia Mechanism.

Project description:The aortic anomaly of the right coronary artery (AAORCA) originating from the left aortic sinus (LCS) is a rare malformation that may result in sudden cardiac death (SCD), which may be due to the dilated aorta-pulmonary artery affecting the blood supply of the coronary artery. However, there are still some disputes about the treatment of the AAORCA. Herein, we present a rare case of AAORCA from the LCS with aortic dissection (AD). Considering the risk of dissection rupture and SCD, an emergency surgery of aortic replacement and coronary anomaly correction was performed successfully for the patient. This report illustrated that AAORCA complicated with acute AD (AAD) is lethal and may promote the occurrence of coronary ischemia or sudden death by a new "double-kill" mechanism that myocardial ischemia was based on the extent of a fixed and a dynamic component like slit-like ostium, proximal narrowing, acute take-off angle and intramural course with the elliptic vessel shape. There is no doubt that surgery is the best treatment option for the AAORCA with AAD.

Sinus of Valsalva Thrombosis Detected on Computed Tomography after Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement.

Project description:BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:Leaflet thrombosis after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has been reported recently, whereas thrombus formation in sinus of Valsalva has yet to be fully evaluated. This study describes clinical and cardiac computed tomography (CT) findings of patients with sinus of Valsalva thrombosis. METHODS:Between March 2011 and Aug 2019, 192 patients underwent cardiac CT after TAVR. After a retrospective review of CT images, 9 patients (82 years, male:female=2:7) who had sinus of Valsalva thrombosis identified by cardiac CT were selected for this study. Patient demographics, interval between TAVR and cardiac CT scan, location and CT attenuation of sinus of Valsalva thrombosis, and presence of concurrent leaflet thrombosis were evaluated. RESULTS:The median interval between TAVR and cardiac CT was 11 days. Sinus of Valsalva thrombosis was frequently detected in the non-coronary sinus (89%, 8/9), and predominantly located in the bottom of the sinus extending upward towards the sinotubular junction. Three patients had concomitant leaflet thrombosis, and 3 patients had subclinical embolic stroke noted on brain magnetic resonance imaging. All patients had been prescribed aspirin and clopidogrel after TAVR for at least 6 months without anticoagulants. CONCLUSIONS:Cardiac CT after TAVR can detect sinus of Valsalva thrombosis, and attention should be paid to this potential source of subsequent systemic embolization.

Giant unruptured aneurysm of the left coronary sinus of Valsalva presenting as acute coronary syndrome: a case report.

Project description:Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SVA) is a rare cardiac anomaly that can be congenital or acquired. Unruptured aneurysms may be asymptomatic but can present as malignant arrhythmias, acute chest pain, and even sudden cardiac death. Both ruptured and unruptured SVAs may have fatal complications, thus prompt diagnosis and surgery is critical. We report a successful surgical repair of an unruptured aneurysm of the left sinus of Valsalva presenting as acute coronary syndrome. Coronary angiography (CAG) and cardiac multislice computed tomography (CT) revealed a large unruptured aneurysm of the left sinus of Valsalva. Surgical repair was performed by resection of the aneurysm, aortic valve replacement with composite graft, and coronary artery bypass. Aneurysm of the left sinus of Valsalva is an extremely rare condition. Correct diagnosis can be done by echocardiography, CAG, or CT. Non-ruptured aneurysms should be surgically repaired if they are associated with significant symptoms or if their size enlarge rapidly.

Case Report: Myocardial dissection caused by ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm in association with a bicuspid aortic valve.

Project description:In this report, we present a case of left-right sinus fusion in a Ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (RSVA) that perforated into the myocardium, giving rise to myocardial dissection. The existence of an anomalous bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is contemplated as a potential etiological element in this context. Employing multimodal imaging modalities, encompassing transthoracic echocardiography and computed tomography (CT), facilitated the visualization of a dissecting hematoma situated within the myocardium subsequent to the RSVA. Following this, our patient underwent an Cabrol surgical intervention, received patch repair, and underwent mitral valve annuloplasty, during which a three-year period transpired without the occurrence of any deleterious cardiac events. In summary, this report establishes the cornerstone for the surgical intervention of RSVA, shedding light on the efficacious handling of RSVA-associated myocardial dissection. It posits that the presence of a BAV may serve as a predisposing factor to RSVA rupture, potentially elevating the susceptibility to myocardial dissection. The utilization of diverse multimodal imaging methodologies played an indispensable role in the detection of a hematoma within the myocardial tissue subsequent to the RSVA rupture. The uneventful three-year postoperative follow-up of the patient underscores the efficacy of the undertaken interventions.

Cerebral Sinus Vein Thrombosis following Sneezing: Case Report.

Project description:Cerebral sinus vein thrombosis (CVT) is a relatively rare neurovascular entity, usually associated with acquired or genetic hypercoagulable states, and in many cases it remains idiopathic. Trauma is also associated with CVT among patients with major head or neck trauma, including penetrating injuries. However, CVT associated with acceleration trauma has only been described in few cases so far. We present an unusual case of a 19-year-old woman with no past medical history, admitted with an extensive CVT following sneezing. A thorough investigation did not reveal any other potential etiology or risk factor other than estrogen-containing oral contraceptives. The patient was treated with anticoagulation and improved clinically with complete recanalization on follow-up imaging. This case suggests acceleration trauma may be a potential factor of risk for CVT.

Right Valsalva Sinus Aneurysm Protruding Into the Right Ventricle: A Case Report.

Project description:A separation between the aortic media and annulus fibrosus causes a rare cardiac abnormality called sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SVA) that may be congenital or acquired. It is more prevalent in the right coronary sinus (65%-85%) but it has been seen rarely in non-coronary (10%-30%) or Left coronary sinus (<5%). The most common complication is rupture of the Aneurysm. We present an 80-year-old male with expanding right Valsalva sinus aneurysm and protruding into right ventricle. The conventional treatment is surgical repair under cardio-pulmonary bypass or percutaneous catheter closure. The aneurysm was successfully excised surgically under direct guidance of trans-esophageal echocardiography (TEE).
