Background:Hughes-Stovin Syndrome (HSS) is a rare potentially fatal vasculitis supposedly belonging to the spectrum of Behçet disease without ocular involvement. HSS tends to play by a temporal pattern, starting with thrombosis and followed by formation of pulmonary aneurysms. Since its mortality can reach 25% of cases, the early recognition and the appropriate therapy represent the major challenges.Objectives:In this report, we aimed at describing a rare case of HSS successfully treated in accordance with a prompt combined management with endovascular approach and immunosuppressive treatments.Methods:We described a Caucasian 33-year-old man presented to the Emergency Room of our Hospital with hemoptysis associated with dyspnea and chest pain, without fever and hypotension, with a 2-year history of painful genital and oral ulcers. Blood test revealed anemia, elevated white cell count with increased C-reactive protein (77 mg/L) and D-dimer (2740 ng/mL). Doppler ultrasonography of legs showed thrombosis of the left femoral vein, while CT-angiography reported multiple aneurysms of the pulmonary arteries. An early and extensive work-up for infections and autoimmunity did not document relevant abnormalities. An appropriate genetic assessment revealed the HLA-B51 positivity. The patient immediately underwent endovascular embolization with coils and plugs of the largest pulmonary aneurysm, and inferior vena cava filter placement. Then, he started methylprednisolone (1 mg/kg/day) IV for three days in association with LMWH (6000 IU/day). Prednisone (1 mg/kg/day) in combination with cyclophosphamide (100 mg daily) were started orally, with tapering of steroids within a month. At the tight follow up (1 month and 3 months later), no genital and oral ulcers nor vascular thrombosis occurred, and acute phase reactants were in normal range. The 3-month-CT angiography showed a complete resolution of the aneurysms and no new changes.Results:The peculiar diagnosis of HLAB51 positive HSS with multiple pulmonary aneurysms was made. The appropriate imaging followed by a prompt endovascular embolization of aneurysms with LMWH treatment were successfully performed. Interestingly, the oral combination therapy with corticosteroid and cyclophosphamide showed a rapid efficacy with a relevant safety profile. At the tight follow up, the young man improved significantly with clinical signs and pulmonary changes (Figure 1 next page).Conclusion:This case is of interest because of the early recognition of such a rare disease that allowed an adequate combined radiological, vascular, and rheumatologic approach. In our case, LMWH resulted useful in preventing the pulmonary embolism, despite the use of anticoagulants is still debated in HSS. Moreover, the endovascular embolization let a less invasive approach to surgery without the need for multiple surgical procedures. For the first time, we documented that oral cyclophosphamide showed an early efficacy as a first line therapy of a HLA-B51 HSS.References:[1]Keskin M, Polat G, Ayranci A, et al.

Increase Risk

We report a rare case of in vitro fertilisation (IVF) with egg donation complicated by a subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH). Haemostatic changes related to IVF are known to increase risk of venous thrombosis; however, less is known regarding the risk of arterial events such as cerebrovascular accidents (CVA). Matrix metalloprotease-9 (MMP-9) upregulated in IVF patients may have a role in arterial aneurysm formation, which is the most common cause of SAH. Further research is required to assess the benefit of screening for risk of CVA and the best way to manage this in the IVF population. This may have implications for the ethics of offering certain procedures such as egg donation to women with pre-existing risk factors.

Arterial Aneurysms

A case of an intracranial arterial aneurysm at internal carotid bifurcation in a 10-year-old girl is described with the special features of cerebral aneurysm which occur in children, comparing with the adults. We alert for the necessity of carefully operative technique in order to avoid damage and intraoperative rupture of the aneurysm due to the very thin vessel wall that this population can develop. Our recommendation is early surgery in these patients.

Ethmoidal Artery

We report a case of a frontal dural arteriovenous shunt or fistula (DAVS) adjacent to the left side of the cribriform plate, with bilateral supply from multiple arteries, the most prominent being the dural branches originating from the anterior ethmoidal artery coming from the left ophthalmic artery. Before treatment there was an eight mm flow-related arterial aneurysm proximally on the left ophthalmic artery. After transarterial embolization of the DAVS with N-butyl cyanoacrylate and polyvinyl alcohol, minimal shunting still remained. At follow-up angiography six months after the treatment, the shunt was obliterated and the ophthalmic artery aneurysm had regressed completely. Our case illustrates that complete obliteration of a DAVS may be achieved even though arteriovenous shunting remains at the end of the procedure. Furthermore, a flow-related arterial aneurysm, may not warrant any specific treatment. Elimination of the high flow situation can lead to complete regression of these aneurysms.
