RESUMO
Intracranial aneurysms are now treatable with coils, stents, and flow diverters in recent years. For saccular aneurysms with broad necks and short domes, stent-assisted coiling has become a common technique, but over time, the complications-both intraprocedural and in a delayed fashion-occur more frequently than coiling alone. Nonstent or balloon-assisted coiling results in lower aneurysm recanalization, lower aneurysm rupture or re-rupture, or lower aneurysm retreatment. This paper illustrates a successful coiling of wide-neck unruptured aneurysm in the trifurcation of the left P2 posterior cerebral artery done without the assistance of stents or balloons.
RESUMO
The intrauterine device (IUD) is one type of long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) method available. The objective of this article was to report the case of a symptomatic partial expulsion of IUD. A 41-year-old woman presented herself to Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo National General Hospital with the chief complaint of pelvic pain. She had been using intrauterine levonorgestrel-releasing system for the last 4 years as her adenomyosis treatment. On ultrasound examination, there was no IUD visualized. A pelvic x-ray imaging with Copper-T IUD as a marker was done and suspected IUD displacement. The IUD was then removed successfully.
