Anatomical Morphology and Related Angles of Foramen Ovale: A Three-dimensional Computed Tomography Reconstruction.
This study aimed to report the three-dimensional reconstruction of the foramen ovale (FO) based on computed tomography angiography and describe its shape and related angles. A retrospective analysis of 199 adult patients who were hospitalised at the Department of Neurosurgery, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College, Bengbu, China, from January to December 2020 was conducted. The original DICOM files of patients' computed tomography scans were processed by 3D Slicer software to reconstruct the three-dimensional skull. ⋯ The FO is most commonly oval in shape. Clinicians may use the anatomical characteristics regarding the size and shape of the FO for diagnosis and treatment. Key Words: Foramen ovale, Computed tomographic angiography, 3-Dimensional anatomy.

Case ReportsTransfusion-associated Graft versus Host Disease: A Certain but Avoidable Cause of Death.
Transfusion-associated graft versus host disease (TA-GvHD) is a rare complication of blood transfusion. It is a delayed transfusion reaction that usually presents from day 7 to day 14 following a transfusion. It can affect both immunocompromised as well as immunocompetent patients. ⋯ The condition is usually fatal in 90% of cases. Here, we present one such case in which the maternal blood transfused to an infant cost him his life within 12 days of transfusion. Key Words: Transfusion, Homozygous antigen, Heterozygous antigen, Graft versus host disease.
