After DES implantation, CANs are rare and may be detected in asymptomatic patients. However, CANs are frequently associated with adverse clinical events as a result of DES restenosis and DES thrombosis. Further studies are required to determine the implications of this distinct new entity.

Orbital infarction syndrome (OIS) encompasses the ischaemic infarction of all intraorbital and intraocular structures (optic nerve, extraocular muscles and orbital fat) which leads to a painful loss of visual acuity, ophthalmoparesis, chemosis, proptosis and ptosis. The rich anastomotic orbital vascularisation from internal carotid artery (ICA) and external carotid artery makes this disorder a rare cause of visual loss in stroke patients. We describe a case of a woman who suffered an acute occlusion of her right ICA and developed an OIS after mechanical thrombectomy.

A 69-year-old female was admitted to our hospital because of asthenia, anorexia and 20 kg weight loss. An ultrasound study and computerized tomography (CT) imaging revealed a mesenteric mass and laparotomy was performed. The diagnosis was mesenteric tuberculosis with jejunal involvement. This represents an atypical onset of tuberculosis in a non-immunosuppressed patient.
