Posttraumatic intradiploic leptomeningeal cyst is an exceedingly uncommon complication of skull fracture in childhood with only about twenty-one cases described in literature till now. We report 2 such cases of intradiploic leptomeningeal cyst of occipital bone in two 17- and 21-year-old males presenting with headache with history of occipital bone fracture in childhood and briefly discuss its pathogenesis and differential diagnosis.
Hemoptysis can be dened as the coughing of blood or blood tinged sputum derived from the bronchial airways or lung parenchyma as a result of
bronchial or pulmonary hemorrhage. Massive hemoptysis is an emergent and life-threatening condition with a broad range of underlying causes.
Various treatment options for hemoptysis include conservative medical management, bronchial artery embolization and denitive surgical
resection. Surgical resection is not possible in those patients associated with poor pulmonary reserve. Alone conservative management also carries
higher risk of mortality rate in these cases. Early management with bronchial artery embolization can signicantly reduce the mortality in these
patients. Proper techniques, results, and possible complications of BAE should be taken in mind and the same applies for the characteristics of the
various embolic agents used in the procedure. In cases of recurrences, the procedure can be repeated effectively.This study done to know efcacy
and safety of bronchial artery embolization in controlling hemoptysis. Study was done in Department of Radiology Lokmanya Tilak Medical
College and Lokmanya Tilak Municipal General Hospital Sion Mumbai India over a period of 3 years. With its low recurrence rates and low
procedure related complications BAE remains one of the best palliative and minimally invasive procedure for management of patients with
hemoptysis including those who are unt to undergo or unwilling for more invasive managements such as surgery
