PURPOSE
The present case report aims to describe the rare coexistence of three variants of the cerebral arterial system diagnosed by computed tomography angiography (CTA).
METHODS
A retrospective study on head and neck CTAs was performed on a Greek adult population from the Department of Radiology, University Hospital of Larissa. An interesting case of an 80-year-old male was further investigated.
RESULTS
The cerebral arterial circle presented with a combination of three variations. The left anterior cerebral artery (ACA) was fenestrated 1.4 mm proximally to the anterior communicating artery formation. The left posterior cerebral artery (PCA) was also fenestrated, 5.5 mm distally to its origin from the basilar artery. Lastly, the right PCA originated from the ICA supraclinoid segment.
CONCLUSIONS
This case report highlights an unusual coexistence of A1 and P1 segments fenestration with a fetal PCA, resulting in a unique cerebral circle. A1 segment fenestration has been previously reported as rare, while the PCA fenestration as extremely rare variant. Awareness of these rare variations could aid interventionists in their preoperative assessments.

Review
National and international hypertension guidelines recommend that adults with young-onset hypertension (aged <40 years at diagnosis) are reviewed by a hypertension specialist to exclude secondary causes of hypertension and optimise therapeutic regimens. A recent survey among UK secondary care hypertension specialist physicians highlighted variations in the investigation of such patients. In this position statement, the British and Irish Hypertension Society seek to provide clinicians with a practical approach to the investigation and management of adults with young-onset hypertension. We aim to ensure that individuals receive consistent and high-quality care across the UK and Ireland, to highlight gaps in the current evidence, and to identify important future research questions.

For many people, being a parent of five children is more than enough to keep oneself occupied. Mitzi Coyle (Macey-Dare) did that, and gained a top post in the community dental service, with a string of dental and other postgraduate qualifications. Her children are equally talented.

Introduction Impacted mandibular third molars can be asymptomatic or cause some pathologies, such as distal caries and odontogenic cysts and tumours. This study investigates the prevalence of distal caries of the mandibular second molar adjacent to the mesioangular or horizontally partially erupted mandibular third molar and its relationship regarding decayed, missing and filled teeth (DMFT) risk group, age, side (left-right) and sex.Methods The study included patients who had an appointment for mesioangular or horizontally positioned and partially erupted mandibular third molar surgery. Before the surgery, the DMFT score, age, sex and side were recorded. After extraction, the second molar was clinically examined for distal caries. The prevalence of distal caries and the correlation between the DMFT risk group, age, sex and side were determined.Results The study was conducted on 514 patients and involved 639 teeth. Men and patients in the moderate- or high-risk group are significantly prone to developing distal caries of the second molar. No statistically significant relationship exists regarding age group, side and position.Conclusion Sex and DMFT risk groups affect the prevalence of distal caries in second molars adjacent to the mesioangular or horizontally partially erupted third molars. The prophylactic extraction should be considered in men and patients in the moderate- or high-risk group.
