Multiple Cervical Arteries Dissection Associated With Fibromuscular Dysplasia: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Spontaneous cervical artery dissection is a condition often associated with connective tissue diseases, such as fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD), a complex angiopathy primarily affecting medium‐sized arteries. While single‐vessel dissection is more common, simultaneous involvement of three cervical arteries is rare.

A ten-year retrospective analysis of decompressive craniectomy or craniotomy after severe brain injury and its implications for donation after brain death

Scientific Reports
Craniotomy or decompressive craniectomy are among the therapeutic options to prevent or treat secondary damage after severe brain injury. The choice of procedure depends, among other things, on the type and severity of the initial injury.
