However, there are a number of complications associated with PICCs, particularly upper extremity deep and/or superficial venous thrombosis, leading to Post-Thrombotic Syndrome (PTS), pulmonary embolism, and increased risk of Catheter-Related Infections (CRI). \u0000Objective: To review the occurrence of deep and superficial vein thrombosis in patients who have undergone PICC placement and also to highlight the complications, epidemiology, risk factors, diagnosis, and management of PICCrelated thrombosis in patients. \u0000Data sources and extraction: We performed article searches and obtained electronic literature from the following databases: PubMed, EMBASE, and Google scholar using key terms. We utilized St. Mary Mercy Hospital for patient data abstraction. \u0000Summary of review: There is evidence that has shown peripherally inserted central catheters may double the risk of deep and superficial venous thrombosis compared with Centrally Inserted Venous Catheters (CIVCs). Duplex ultrasound is the preferred diagnostic imaging modality to rule-out thrombosis. \u0000Conclusion: Medical records on 1,429 PICC-line insertion patients were reviewed. A venous duplex examination was performed on all of the patients who were noted to have complications post-procedure. The duplex was also performed on patients who manifested symptoms such as pain, swelling, and/or extremity discoloration after catheter insertion. The data abstracted concluded, 59% of symptomatic patients post-peripherally inserted central catheters tested positive for Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT). Once there was sufficient evidence to prove deep vein thrombosis, the catheter was removed or the patient was started on anticoagulation.","PeriodicalId":90030,"journal":{"name":"OMICS journal of radiology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.4172/2167-7964.1000264","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44675459","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The actual incidence of underlying aneurysms in patients with SAH after a head trauma is not well clear or studied previously. The role for immediate Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA) still remains controversial to evaluate for non-traumatic causes. \u0000Methods: This study reviewed a total of 797 CT angiograms of the brain conducted in the 2 major hospitals over period 48 months, between February 2013 and February 2017. 170 CTAs were performed on patient with classical thunderclap headache (spontaneous group) while 58 CTAs were performed on patient with head trauma (trauma group). \u0000Results: This study found that 16 plain CT Brains with positive SAH for the Spontaneous group and Traumatic group. Meanwhile, 16 CTAs in Spontaneous group had positive findings intracranial aneurysms compared to 4 from the Traumatic group. Overall incidence of intracranial aneurysms in spontaneous group is 9.4% compared 6.8% in traumatic group (p=0.590) and has no statistically significant difference when comparing the groups. \u0000In regards to primary outcome, 9 patients in Spontaneous group with SAH found to have intracranial aneurysms on CTA compared to 2 patients in Traumatic group (p=0.065). This comparison did not show statistically significant difference. \u0000The study also shown that 7 patients in Spontaneous group with positive SAH on plain CT brain had no aneurysms on CTAs as compared to 12 in Traumatic group. In terms of incidental findings of pre-existing aneurysms, 7 patients from Spontaneous group found to have aneurysms without SAH compared to 2 from Traumatic group. \u0000Conclusion: Prevalence of pre-existing aneurysms in patients with traumatic subarachnoid haemorrhage is comparable with spontaneous type and may had been underestimated and therefore performing CT cerebral angiogram is recommended to evaluate non-traumatic cause of SAH.","PeriodicalId":90030,"journal":{"name":"OMICS journal of radiology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.4172/2167-7964.1000262","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48040452","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Because the Vertebral Arteries (VA) is near the Atlantoaxial (AA) joint, VA occlusion may occur due to AAS. Since the VA supplies blood to the cerebellum and brainstem, serious symptoms can develop if infarction occurs due to VA occlusion. In this case report of a 64-year-old female RA patient, CT angiography demonstrated a dissecting aneurysm and the occlusion of the left VA at the AA joint, attributed to the one-sided destruction of the C1/C2 lateral mass, leading to frequent cerebellum infarctions. Vertigo and neck pain in the extension position disappeared after C1/C2 posterior fixation, and infarctions originating from VA occlusion never recurred after surgery. As the positional occlusion of VA in AAS itself has become relatively uncommon since the use of biological preparations for RA treatment, the authors describe a case in which C1/C2 fixation is effective for preventing neck pain, deterioration of neurological findings and the recurrence of cerebellum infarctions due to positional VA occlusion.","PeriodicalId":90030,"journal":{"name":"OMICS journal of radiology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.4172/2167-7964.S2-003","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44964830","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results: The anterior and posterior axial AC joint distances were the only statistically significant variables measuring 0.59 ± 0.27 cm and 0.26 ± 0.11 cm in volunteers, and 0.88 ± 0.3 cm and 0.49 ± 0.39 cm in the AC separation group.
