Spinal Dural Arteriovenous Fistula (SDAVF) is a rare and complex vascular condition with significant neurological consequences if left untreated. We present a case of SDAVF in a 46-year-old male who presented with progressive myelopathy. The patient presented with a three-month history of progressive lower extremity weakness, numbness, urinary retention, constipation, and gait disturbance. The spine's magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed diffuse T2 hyperintensity and contrast enhancement from T11 to L1, raising the suspicion of an intradural spinal cord lesion. Further evaluation with spinal angiography revealed an SDAVF at the level of T11-T12. The patient underwent surgical resection of the fistula, His lower extremity weakness and numbness improved significantly after surgery, and he was discharged with a plan for close follow-up. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment prevent neurological deficits and improve patient outcomes. Surgical resection of the fistula can significantly improve neurological symptoms and should be considered a treatment option for SDAVF.

Chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) is a common condition that typically requires surgical intervention. Middle meningeal artery embolization (MMAE) has emerged as a potential alternative treatment option, although the choice of embolization material remains a topic of debate. In this case series, we report on the outcomes of 10 patients with cSDH who underwent MMAE. Most patients experienced symptom relief and a significant reduction in cSDH size post-procedure. Despite the presence of comorbidities and risk factors, most patients had positive outcomes following MMAE treatment. Only one patient required surgical intervention after the MMAE procedure due to the progression of symptoms, while MMAE successfully prevented recurrence in most patients. Our findings suggest that MMAE can be a promising treatment option for selected patients with cSDH. However, further studies are needed to compare the efficacy and safety of different embolization materials in MMAE procedures for cSDHs.

Incidentaloma, a term that embodies the detection of certain problems during the performance of unreasonable investigations, resonates in the medical field. Retroaortic coronary sign is a recently recognized echocardiographic feature of the anomalous coronary artery. It is typically associated with anomalies of the left coronary artery, especially the left circumflex artery. As far as has been monitored, few echocardiographic signs that correlate with this feature have been identified. This feature often remains underdiagnosed on transthoracic echocardiograms due to confusion with artifacts, calcifications, and other cardiac structures. A 45-year-old male patient underwent regular cardiac routine assessment. Retroaortic anomalous coronary (RAC) sign was incidentally detected by transthoracic thoracic echocardiogram; consequently, the retroaortic route of the coronary artery was suspected. Coronary computed tomography angiography was requested to confirm the seen echocardiographic signs. After a 3D reconstruction imaging, the left circumflex retroaortic course was identified with right coronary sinus origin. This case ensures the importance of transthoracic echocardiography as a noninvasive tool in diagnosing anomalous coronary arteries. These anomalies are usually diagnosed by coronary computed tomography angiography and coronary angiography, mainly in the presence of retroaortic coronary sign or “crossed aorta sign.”
