Branchial cleft cysts are congenital anomalies that most commonly arise from a failure of fusion of the second branchial arch during embryonic life. They usually present as a swelling in the lateral side of the neck, below the mandible. In this article, we present a case of a 28-year-old female patient with a right branchial cyst measuring 7 × 6 × 5 cm, who presented with an asymptomatic, rapidly growing mass in the right anterior triangle of the neck that abutted the right external carotid artery, leading to stenosis of the vessel that is preceded by dilatation above the site of compression. She underwent excision of the cystic mass with preservation of the facial nerve and presented no active complaints on follow-up a few weeks postoperatively.

Injection of autologous fat on the face is a commonly performed procedure in plastic surgery. However, it can lead to rare but devastating complications due to fat embolism. In this study, we presented two cases of cerebral infarction and/or sudden vision loss after cosmetic injections of autologous fat on the face. Two women underwent injections into the temporal and frontal areas, respectively. In case 1, the patient underwent decompressive craniectomy as her condition deteriorated continuously and died. In case 2, the patient's vision had not improved at the 3-month follow-up visit. Imaging examinations showed occlusion of the right external carotid artery in case 1, and multiple retinal arterioles were segmentally occluded in case 2. We also screened relevant studies via a systematic search of PubMed (last updated on May 9, 2020) and performed a narrative review due to the significant heterogeneity between the studies. To prevent this catastrophic event, the autologous fat injection should be performed carefully. If embolization does occur, early diagnosis and timely treatment may help improve functional outcomes.

Branchial Cleft

Branchial cleft anomalies are well described, with the second arch anomaly being the commonest. Remains of cervical sinus of His may persist as a branchial cyst. A branchial sinus is formed when 2nd branchial arch fails to meet the 5th pharyngeal arch. Peak age for presentation of branchial cysts is in the third decade and that of the congenital sinuses and fistulae is at birth. The association of a branchial cyst with branchial sinus is very rare. We are presenting two cases had branchial cyst along with branchial sinus. It was managed successfully with complete excision. Histopathological examination confirmed the association.

Endovascular treatment of high flow arteriovenous fistula following a stab wound injury in a 25 year old man is reported. Previously performed proximal embolisation and surgical ligation failed to occlude the fistula but resulted in changes to the normal vascular anatomy and significant clinical and cosmetic disturbances. A direct puncture of the draining vein was performed and the fistulous connection occluded by placement of detachable coils and deposition of glue. Follow-up showed disappearance of the AVF as well as complete clinical recovery.

AbstractObjective:We report two extremely rare cases of symptomatic nasopharyngeal branchial cleft cyst treated by powered instrument assisted marsupialisation.Methods:Case report and literature review concerning nasopharyngeal branchial cleft cyst and surgical treatment methods.Results:The first case was a two-year-old boy with a 1 × 2 cm, cystic, oropharyngeal mass, who also had severe snoring and sleep apnoea. The second case was a 56-year-old man with right nasal obstruction and a sensation of fullness in the right ear. In both cases, we performed endoscopic marsupialisation using a powered instrument. There was no recurrence in either case over two years of follow up.Conclusion:Powered instrument marsupialisation is a simple, effective and less invasive technique for the treatment of nasopharyngeal branchial cleft cyst.

Carotid Cavernous Fistulas

✓ The authors present a patient with a complex vascular malformation composed of bilateral spontaneous carotid-cavernous fistulas (CCF's). The abnormality was supplied on the right side by the right external carotid artery (ECA) and the right internal carotid artery (ICA), and on the left side only by the left ICA. There was also an arteriovenous communication between the right ECA and the lateral sinus. Surgical embolization of both cavernous sinuses with oxidized cellulose was achieved on one side by direct puncture and on the other through one of its venous affluents, successfully occluding both CCF's and preserving the patency of both ICA's without any neurological deficit. The arteriovenous communication between the right ECA and the lateral sinus was occluded by embolization of the occipital artery and ligation of the right ECA.

A 60-year-old female was found on a physical examination to have bilateral palpable pulsatile neck masses. She denied local pain, cranial nerve compressive symptoms, or symptoms of cerebral ischemia. Duplex ultrasonography demonstrated bilateral 1.5 x 2.2 cm external carotid artery aneurysms. Isolated bilateral external carotid artery aneurysms were confirmed by computed tomography and angiography. The patient has been treated conservatively, and at 4-year follow-up, she remains asymptomatic, and the carotid artery aneurysms are unchanged in size.

The Right

The right cerebral hemisphere of the rat was perfused in situ by retrograde infusion of HCO3 saline or blood into the right external carotid artery. Infusion rate was adjusted to minimize the contribution of systemic blood to flow in the hemisphere. During perfusion with whole or artificial blood, regional cerebral blood flow and blood volume were comparable to respective values in the conscious rat, whereas perfusion with HCO3 saline increased regional flow three- to fourfold due to the low viscosity of the saline perfusate. Perfusion with whole blood for 300 S or with HCO3 saline for 60 S did not alter the permeability of the blood-brain barrier. Cerebrovascular permeability coefficients of eight nonelectrolytes ranged from 10(-8) to 10(-4) cm X S-1 and were directly proportional to the octanol-water partition coefficient of the solute. Thus the in situ brain perfusion technique is a sensitive new method to study cerebrovascular transfer in the rat and permits absolute control of perfusate composition.

Facial fat grafting techniques often offer impressive surgical results. However, fatal complications, such as irreversible cerebral ischemia, blindness, and hemiplegia are associated with them. We have presented a case report of a patient who presented with a massive cerebral infarction, a serious complication of facial autologous fat injection. The patient was a 28-year-old female who experienced motor dysfunction of the left extremities, which was accompanied with loss of consciousness immediately following fat grafting for facial augmentation. Imaging studies suggested that the patient had a large cerebral infarction on the right frontal, temporal, and parietal lobes due to complete occlusion of her right external carotid artery. Emergency decompressive craniectomy was completed in addition to multiple follow-up medical treatments. The patient recovered after 4 months with reduced motor function in her left upper extremity. This report further summarizes published cases of massive cerebral ischemia after facial injection of autologous fat, as well as lists high-risk facial areas and critical warnings.
