Persistent hypoglossal artery--an increased risk for intracranial aneurysms?

British Journal of Neurosurgery

Abstract

A 53-year-old hypertensive female smoker presented with a WFNS grade II subarachnoid haemorrhage. Angiography showed a left persistent hypoglossal artery with multiple intracranial aneurysms. She underwent successful coil embolisation of the ruptured aneurysm. We reviewed the literature on persistent hypoglossal artery and found 26% of them have associated intracranial aneurysms. This controversial topic is discussed.

Cajal Bodies & Gems

Cajal bodies or coiled bodies are dense foci of coilin protein. Gemini of Cajal bodies, or gems, are microscopically similar to Cajal bodies. It is believed that Cajal bodies play important roles in RNA processing while gems assist the Cajal bodies. Find the latest research on Cajal bodies and gems here.
