Endovascular-covered stent treatment of posttraumatic cervical carotid artery pseudoaneurysms.
Pseudoaneurysm involving the cervical portion of the carotid artery can result from prior trauma or dissection. Two patients are reported with posttraumatic carotid artery pseudoaneurysms. In both cases, endovascular-covered stents were placed across the diseased portion of the artery resulting in thrombosis of the aneurysm and preservation of the parent artery without any significant complication. It is therefore concluded that covered stent placement is an alternative approach in treating carotid artery pseudoaneurysms.

Unenhanced helical CT scan for the investigation of acute ureteral colic.
Unenhanced helical CT is presently considered a superior imaging technique for investigating acute urinary colic compared to intravenous urography and ultrasound. It was introduced in Pakistan around the year 2000 and is in the process of being acknowledged as the first line investigation in emergency departments. We have discussed the advantages and the disadvantages of the technique, and have compared it with other imaging modalities.
