Case ReportsMultiple Brain Abscesses and Mycotic Aneurysm in a Patient with Lupus Nephritis: A Challenging Diagnosis and Treatment Course.
Central nervous system (CNS) septic embolisation is an uncommon but life-threatening condition. Clinicians should be aware of the increased risk of this complication in immunocompromised patients such as those suffering from lupus nephritis (LN). In cases of unexplained fever or neurologic symptoms, septic embolisation should be considered in the differential diagnosis. ⋯ Blood, cerebrospinal fluid, and bronchoalveolar lavage cultures were negative. The patient was treated with a combination of antibiotics and she responded well to treatment. Key Words: Female, Lupus nephritis, Mycotic aneurysm, Brain abscess.

Anatomical Morphology and Related Angles of Foramen Ovale: A Three-dimensional Computed Tomography Reconstruction.
This study aimed to report the three-dimensional reconstruction of the foramen ovale (FO) based on computed tomography angiography and describe its shape and related angles. A retrospective analysis of 199 adult patients who were hospitalised at the Department of Neurosurgery, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College, Bengbu, China, from January to December 2020 was conducted. The original DICOM files of patients' computed tomography scans were processed by 3D Slicer software to reconstruct the three-dimensional skull. ⋯ The FO is most commonly oval in shape. Clinicians may use the anatomical characteristics regarding the size and shape of the FO for diagnosis and treatment. Key Words: Foramen ovale, Computed tomographic angiography, 3-Dimensional anatomy.
