Entrapment of temporal horn: First case of bilateral occurrence and review of literature

Coil Extrusion into the Naso- and Oropharynx Ten Years after Internal Carotid Artery Pseudoaneurysm Embolization: A Case Report

“…The mechanics and process described above usually take time and reflect the fact that aneurysmal repermeabilization caused by extrusion is reported from several months to years after the endovascular coiling procedure [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20]. However, to the best of our knowledge, an coil extrusion 10 years after embolization has never been reported [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22].…”

“…After careful evaluation of the literature, the management of extruded coils must provide a multidisciplinary approach [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22]. Because extruded coils have the potential to destabilize the prior arterial embolization, CT and/or traditional angiography remain mandatory before excision of the extruded coil wire to check complete aneurysm thrombosis [7].…”

“…His past medical history was characterized by surgery for clival giant cell tumor complicated by ICA rupture 10 years ago. Indeed, in 2008, the patient was operated on by a fully endoscopic neuronavigation-guided EEA [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11]. Thanks to the working angle and the better visualization offered by the EEA, we were able to maximize the tumor resection preserving at the same time craniovertebral junction stability and avoiding posterior fixation with his relative complications [1, 2, 3, 4, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15].…”

Acutely Trapped Ventricle: Clinical Significance and Benefit from Surgical Decompression

“…Most of these studies are confined to cases of chronic trapped FV in the pediatric population, occurring as a late complication of shunting and successful lateral ventricular decompression for hydrocephalus secondary to meningitis or hemorrhage [11][12][13]. In adults, a commonly described site of trapping is the temporal horn of the lateral ventricle, but there were only 36 cases reported in the literature as of 2013 [14]. Therefore, very limited data exists on the epidemiology, treatments and outcomes of trapped ventricle from acute or worsening brain lesions with mass effect in the adult population.…”

Defining a Standardized Approach for the Bedside Insertion of Temporal Horn External Ventricular Drains

“…A recent review of the literature on temporal horn entrapment found that in 23 of 37 reported cases, some form of CSF diversion was required, with several studies reporting the need to use temporary external drainage of CSF. [1][2][3] When immediate decompression is needed to reduce the risk of death or serious neurological injury, a patient with a trapped temporal horn can be emergently treated with the insertion of an external ventricular drain (EVD) directly into the affected temporal horn.…”
