Abstract:
We present the youngest reported case of an intracranial arterial pseudoaneurysm in a newborn following a difficult delivery. The infant presented with multicompartment intracranial haemorrhage and infarction. Cerebral angiography confirmed a large, irregularly shaped pseudoaneurysm in the right tentorium originating from a tentorial branch of the right meningo-hypophyseal trunk. After multidisciplinary consultation, it was decided to treat the pseudoaneurysm with endovascular coil embolisation. Microsurgical clipping was considered too risky, and conservative management was inappropriate due to risk of rebleeding. A bare platinum detachable coil was successfully deployed. The postoperative course was uneventful. MRI at 2 months showed no recurrence. At his 2-year follow-up, the patient was healthy with a normal neurological examination.

Treatment for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: Phosphodiesterase Inhibitors
Among the PDE5 inhibitors, sildenafil (Revatio) stands out as a competitive and selective inhibitor. It operates by elevating cellular levels of cGMP and augmenting signaling through the cGMP-PKG pathway, promoting vasodilation. Upon oral...

ETs are synthesized through a complex sequence of enzymatic steps, primarily involving an enzyme referred to as endothelin-converting enzyme...
Treatment for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: Prostacyclin Receptor Agonists
These agonists bind to the IPR receptor situated on the plasma membrane of the pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells. This binding triggers a cascade of reactions known as the GS-AC-cAMP-PKA pathway. This pathway results in the relaxation of smooth muscle...
