Cerebral fat embolism syndrome in sickle cell disease: a case highlighting the predominance of susceptibility-weighted imaging findings and literature review

Giovanni Failla, Francesco Tiralongo, Placido Di Grigoli, Daniele Falsaperla et autres

Cerebral fat embolism syndrome (CFES) is a rare but severe complication, most commonly associated with long bone fractures. Its occurrence in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) is exceptional and may be triggered by vaso-occlusive crises. Its clinical manifestations are variable and …

Prophylactic transarterial embolization after endoscopic hemostasis in patients with non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding - is it time to act?

Francesco Tiralongo, Roberto Minici, Makoto Taninokuchi Tomassoni, Corrado Inì et autres

Background: Non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding (NVUGIB) continues to present a significant clinical burden due to rebleeding after apparently successful endoscopic hemostasis, particularly in ulcers overlying large-caliber arterial territories. Prophylactic transarterial embolization (pTAE) has been proposed as a strategy to prevent rebleeding in …

Beyond trauma: a case-based imaging review of spontaneous splenic rupture

Federica Romano, Marina Alessandrella, Raffaella Lucci, Giorgio Bocchini et autres

Spontaneous splenic rupture (SSR) is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition, most commonly associated with underlying infectious, haematological, vascular, or neoplastic processes. Clinical presentation is often non-specific, which may lead to delayed diagnosis. Imaging, particularly contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT), plays a pivotal …

D-Dimer/Fibrinogen Ratio and Radiological Severity Scores in Acute Pulmonary Embolism: Is There Room for a New Thrombus-Burden Marker?

Francesco Tiralongo, Stefania Tamburrini, Giacomo Sica, Mariano Scaglione et autres

Background/Objectives: The D-dimer/fibrinogen ratio (D-d/F) has been proposed as a composite marker of fibrinolysis–coagulation balance. Whether D-d/F reflects CT-quantified thrombus burden and right ventricular dysfunction (RVD) in acute pulmonary embolism (PE) remains uncertain. Methods: Single-center retrospective cohort of consecutive adults with CTPA-confirmed …

Bilateral thalamic infarction in a young adult: The artery of Percheron conundrum

Giovanni Failla, Francesco Tiralongo, Salvatore Dominici, Corrado Inì et autres

Artery of Percheron (AOP) infarction is a rare form of ischemic stroke resulting from the occlusion of a single arterial trunk that supplies both sides of the paramedian thalamus and the midbrain. Its occlusion can lead to bilateral and symmetrical infarctions of …

Management and Treatment of Carotid Stenosis: Overview of Therapeutic Possibilities and Comparison Between Interventional Radiology, Surgery and Hybrid Procedure

Lorenzo Aliotta, Livio Maria Gavazzi, Pierantonio Malfa, Pietro Valerio Foti et autres

Carotid stenosis is a common pathology in clinical practice and unfortunately carries a high risk of serious cerebrovascular events. The early recognition of carotid plaque and, consequently, a careful analysis by means of multimodal imaging are the necessary steps to undertake a …
