N-butyl-2 cyanoacrylate (NBCA) is a liquid embolic material that is widely used in various endovascular procedures because of its permanent and rapid vascular occluding effect regardless of the coagulation profile of the patient. However, NBCA migration to unintended vessels may result in serious complications. This report describes the retrieval of a migrated NBCA cast from the transverse-sigmoid sinus during dural arteriovenous fistula embolization using a transvenous snaring technique.

Sarcoidosis is an idiopathic disease, characterized by non-caseating granulomas in multiple organs/tissues. Cutaneous involvement occurs in approximately one-quarter of patients with a wide variety of presenting morphologies. This case report describes a case of photodistributed sarcoidosis, a rare cutaneous variant, with systemic involvement. A 42-year-old man presented with a history of a pruritic, rash with photoexacerbated annular plaques along with arthralgias and bone pain. Compared to previous reports of photodistributed sarcoidosis, our case presented with annular plaques rather than papules, and there was no prior exposure to ionizing radiation. He was treated successfully with prednisone and hydroxychloroquine. It is important to include sarcoidosis in the differential of photodistributed dermatoses.

AbstractProliferative angiopathy (PA) is a rare cerebral vascular disease in which anomalous vessels continually recruit additional feeder arteries, amid a functional brain parenchyma. We report the case of a young woman with progressive history of headache, motor deficit, seizures and drowsiness. She received a misdiagnosis of brain arteriovenous malformation (AVM) and evolved with dysarthria and cognitive decline after an unsuccessful embolization performed at another institution. We opted for conservative treatment with periodic control by imaging tests. Proliferative angiopathy differs in natural history, prognosis, histopathology and treatment of the usual AVMs. Endovascular procedures aggravate the neurological deficits, which are usually progressive and tend to worsen over time.

The treatment of choice of vein of Galen aneurysmal malformation (VGAM) involves endovascular procedures that can be difficult to perform in high-flow fistulas. We describe the use of rapid ventricular pacing (RVP), a well-known cardiologic technique, to safely treat a high-flow fistula in an infant with VGAM.

Childhood sarcoidosis is a rare multisystemic granulomatous disorder of unknown etiology. The diagnosis is often delayed due to lacking of recognition of clinical features. We report a 23 month-old boy who presented with multiple pinkish papules and painless cystic swellings in his ankles and wrists. A skin biopsy showed multiple sarcoidal granulomatous lesions. He was treated with steroids and had a good response. Childhood sarcoidosis is characterized by arthritis, uveitis, and cutaneous involvement. Glucocorticoids remain the first choice therapy for children with multisystem involvement. The prognosis of early-onset childhood sarcoidosis varies in different studies due to the rarity of the disease.
