Migraine and patent foramen ovale: correlation, coexistence, dependence. A narrative review
Plain Language Summary This review looked at what scientists know about the connection between migraine and a small heart opening called a patent foramen ovale (PFO). It showed that people with migraine, especially with aura, often have PFO, but it is not certain whether closing this heart opening helps prevent strokes in these patients.

Obstructing Chiari Network Facilitating Blood Flow Across a Patent Foramen Ovale Causing Hypoxia
A 36-year-old man with progressive dyspnea and hypoxia was found to have a large, partially fenestrated Chiari network accelerating blood flow through a patent foramen ovale with preservation of an embryonic right-to-left atrial flow pattern.

Accessory spine of the foramen ovale.
The objective of this study was to provide morphometric analysis of an accessory spine that was found within the lumen of the foramen ovale, as well as to find out whether this structure could mechanically irritate the mandibular nerve. A bifid spine was perceived in the macerated skull of an adult individual. It was located in the anterior part of

Increased prevalence of potential right-to-left shunting in children with sickle cell anaemia and stroke [PDF]
'Paradoxical' embolization via intracardiac or intrapulmonary right-to-left shunts (RLS) is an established cause of stroke. Hypercoagulable states and increased right heart pressure, which both occur in sickle cell anaemia (SCA), predispose to ...

Exploratory Advanced Radiotherapies for Ameloblastoma and Ameloblastic Carcinoma—A Concise Review
ABSTRACT Objective Ameloblastoma is an aggressively growing odontogenic tumor with substantial management challenges and a high recurrence rate. Surgical resection is the treatment of choice for ameloblastoma, but adjuvant therapies like radiation have been explored in cases where surgery is not clinically advisable and the tumor is inoperable.
