Objective: We encountered a patient with lateral medullary infarction during transarterial embolization of the posterior meningeal artery (PMA). We reviewed the anatomic characteristics/imaging findings of this disorder.Case Presentation: A 69-year-old male. Cerebral infarction involving the lateral medulla occurred during transarterial embolization of a dural arteriovenous fistula. It was considered to be a complication related to occlusion of a lateral medulla-penetrating vessel on microcatheter/guidewire operations in the PMA. When examining images in detail, the blood vessel could be confirmed using DSA and 3D angiography.Conclusion: When performing embolization, the presence of a brainstem-penetrating vessel originating from the PMA must be considered.

Objective: We verified the usefulness of patient management using a balloon-pressurized belt (Stanch Belt Plus) to prevent puncture site hematomas, which can occur at a specific rate even with hemostatic devices after endovascular neurosurgery.Methods: A total of 113 patients who underwent endovascular surgery with a femoral puncture from April 2019 to September 2020 were divided into two groups: 31 cases using a traditional compression belt and 82 cases using a newly introduced balloon-pressurized belt during this period. The clinical data were analyzed retrospectively. The chi-square test and Mann–Whitney U test were used to test for significant differences.Results: There were no significant differences in treatment procedures or frequency of hemostatic device use, but the balloon-pressurized belt group had a significantly lower incidence of hematomas (2.4% vs 12.9%, p <0.05) and a significantly lower incidence of moderate or higher lumbago (22.0% vs 41.9%, p <0.05). The incidence of epidermal detachment tended to be low; however, no significant difference was observed (3.7% vs. 12.9%, n.s.).Conclusion: Patient management with the newly introduced balloon-pressurized belt may decrease the occurrence of groin hematoma and lumbago among complications after endovascular neurosurgery.

In this article, we report a case wherein a brain tumor was suspected based on computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging findings. We made an initial diagnosis of malignant brain tumor based on methionine-positron emission tomography (PET) findings, but the correct diagnosis was dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF). The patient was a 45-year-old man with DAVF who developed headache. Methionine-PET imaging showed high methionine uptake in the lesion. Although the tumor was strongly suspected from the findings of methionine-PET, the diagnosis of DAVF could be made correctly only by interpreting digital subtraction angiography and computed tomographic angiography. The findings of methionine-PET, which is considered useful in the diagnosis and denial of brain tumors, made the diagnosis of DAVF more difficult. The increased uptake of methionine-PET in DAVF is an important finding because, to our knowledge, this study is the first to report such finding. The results of this study might be useful for differential diagnoses when the diagnosis is uncertain.
