Intracranial Dural Arteriovenous Fistula Draining into Spinal Perimedullary Veins: A Rare Cause of Myelopathy

We report a rare case of progressive myelopathy caused by intracranial dural arteriovenous fistula with venous drainage into the spinal perimedullary veins. A 45-yr-old man developed urinary and fecal incontinence and muscle weakness in the lower limbs. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed brainstem edema and dilated veins of the brainstem and spinal cord. Cerebral angiography showed a dural arteriovenous fistula fed by the neuromeningeal branch of the left ascending pharyngeal artery. Occlusion of the fistula could be achieved by embolization after a diagnostic and subsequent therapeutic delay. There was no improvement in clinical condition. For the neurologic outcome of these patients it is important that fistula must be treated before ischemic and gliotic changes become irreversible

USE OF COMPLEMENTARY MEDICINES FOR OSTEOARTHRITIS

WOS: 000291327500013Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) has recently attracted attention because of its widespread use, associated costs, and unknown effects. Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common disease in the population. Many different therapeutic interventions are currently employed for the management of OA, including pharmacological and non-pharmacological options. Continuous pain is characteristic of this chronic disease, and the rate of CAM usage for OA is estimated to be high. Patients suffering from OA are often tempted to fry 'alternative' treatment options. CAMs include herbal medicines, traditional medicines (Ayurvedic or Chinese), vitamin, mineral and nutritional supplements, homeopathic medicines and aromatherapy products. The aim of this review was to assess the use of CAM in the treatment of patients with OA
