To investigate whether arterial infundibular widening is a preaneurysmal lesion or not. ⋯ The infundibulum is a preaneurysmal lesion associated with high total pressure and high wall shear stress resulted from direct flow impingement and will progress to an aneurysm with time.

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in an immunocompromised patient with organ transplantation demonstrated unusual brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings. Recognition of EBV-positive DLBCL by radiologists on MRI may prevent unnecessary neurosurgical resection, and it could be important to obtain viable cells for accurate diagnosis on stereotactic biopsy because of extensive necrosis. ⋯ We report an immunocompromised patient with EBV-positive DLBCL, which showed atypical MRI findings, including extensive necrosis. Multiple biopsies were required for final diagnosis.

Despite a variety of technologies that are available for treatment of complex intracranial aneurysms, certain anatomic configurations remain challenging to address endovascularly. ⋯ This case illustrates a number of important considerations in the management approach for wide-necked intracranial aneurysms.

To explore the safety and efficacy of hydrogen peroxide H2O2 in controlling blood loss and surgical site infection (SSI) after multisegmental lumbar spine surgery. ⋯ The application of H2O2 in posterior lumbar interbody fusion can reduce the blood loss and incidence of SSI after surgery and was quite beneficial for controlling the increasing number of vancomycin-resistant bacteria.
