Description

Undrakh-Erdene Erdenebold and co-authors report a rare case from 2024, in which a woman grew a faulty blood vessel link near the brain years after surgery. She had part of a benign tumor near the top of the skull removed three years before. She then came in with signs of raised pressure inside the head, such as a pulsing sound, poor sight, and headache.

Scans and dye tests showed the faulty link, classed at a mid level of risk. Doctors blocked the feeders in three staged rounds, using glue, a sealing fluid, and small coils. Flow fell a great deal and her symptoms eased. The authors also review past cases and warn that such links can turn more grave over time.
