The poster shows a case of treatment of a rare tumor of the carotid artery with the aim of reminding us how important regular and detailed diagnostics are even in young people.
Carotid & Acute StrokeThe impact of Human CMV on atherosclerotic plaque instability and its implications for risk stratification
By: Alessandra Fittipaldi
This study investigates how Human Cytomegalovirus (CMV) affects natural killer (NK) cells and contributes to the instability of atherosclerotic plaques. The researchers identified specific memory-like NK cell subsets in CMV-positive patients that could serve as biomarkers to detect early signs of carotid plaque destabilization. By analyzing blood and plaque samples from 64 patients using flow cytometry and bioinformatics, they found NK cell subsets with similar tissue-residency markers in both CMV-positive and -negative individuals. These findings may support better risk stratification and patient monitoring.
Carotid & Acute StrokeCervical Schwannoma of the vagal nerve
By: Raoua Harrath
This poster presents a case of cervical schwannoma of the vagal nerve initially misdiagnosed as a paraganglioma. The tumor was successfully excised by the head of our vascular surgery department without complications. The case highlights the challenges in preoperative diagnosis and the importance of surgical expertise in managing such lesions.
