    Abstract Selective ophthalmic artery infusion of chemotherapy (SOAIC) has emerged as the standard of care for retinoblastoma (RB). Intranasal oxymetazoline (INO), Afrin, is often intraoperatively administered adjunctively to optimize flow to the orbit. There has been one report to date that suggests the adjunctive use of INO has led to systemic side effects. To our knowledge, this is the first documented case of INO causing urinary retention in a patient undergoing SOAIC, and the recommended treatment.

    Abstract Spinal cord infarctions in children are rare and early magnetic resonance imaging studies are often negative. A high clinical suspicion must be maintained to identify stroke and initiate workup for underlying etiology to suggest appropriate treatment. We present two cases of spinal cord infarction without major preceding trauma. The first was caused by disc herniation and external impingement of a radiculomedullary artery and the second was due to fibrocartilaginous embolism with classic imaging findings of ventral and dorsal cord infarctions, respectively. These cases were treated conservatively with diagnostic workup and aspirin, though additional treatments which can be considered with prompt diagnosis are also explored in our discussion. Both cases recovered the ability to ambulate independently within months. Case 1 is attending college and ambulates campus with a single-point cane. Case 2 ambulates independently, though has some difficulty with proprioception of the feet so uses wheelchairs for long-distance ambulation.

    Abstract Background: Bow hunter's syndrome, or occlusion of the vertebral artery with head rotation leading to ischemia and sometimes stroke, is rarely described in children. The authors review the literature and present a new case.
    Methods: Both OVID dating back to 1946 and PubMed records were reviewed using the terms ("Bow hunter syndrome" OR "bow hunter's") OR "rotational vertebral artery occlusion" combined with "child," and limited to English language. SCOPUS and the bibliographies of cases found in the search were used to identify additional articles.
    Results: Twelve articles were found describing 25 patients; there were 26 patients when combined with our case. Ages ranged from 1 to 18 years. Most (88.5%, 23/26) were male. Medical treatments included aspirin, clopidogrel, abciximab, enoxaparin, warfarin, and cervical collar. Stenting was tried in 2 cases but did not work long-term. Surgical treatments included decompression, cervical fusion, or a combination. We present a new case of a 12-year-old girl with recurrent stroke who had bilateral vascular compression only visible on provocative angiographic imaging with head turn. She was referred for cervical fusion, and abnormal ligamentous laxity was noted intraoperatively.
    Conclusions: Bow hunter's syndrome is a rare but important cause of stroke since many of the patients experience recurrent strokes before the diagnosis is made. Reasons for the male predominance are unclear. Provocative angiography plays a key role in diagnosis, and both medical treatment and neurosurgical intervention may prevent recurrence.

    Abstract Background: Fetal cerebral sinovenous thrombosis (CSVT) and dural sinus malformation (DSM) are rare types of fetal cerebral venous pathology that are becoming increasingly recognized as fetal imaging advances. Fetal DSMs are a common source of fetal CSVT, although CSVT may occur without a DSM. The literature on these disorders is limited.
    Methods: Cases of fetal CSVT and DSM were identified retrospectively through a query of the Indiana University Health fetal imaging archive from 2007 to 2021.
    Results: Seven cases were identified, all of whom were alive at birth. A DSM was present in six. Treatments after birth included enoxaparin sodium (3), embolization (3), and shunt placements (1). Five cases had documented regression or complete resolution of the thrombus and/or malformation. One was lost to follow-up, one died from complications of hydrocephalus at nine months, one was receiving physical and occupational therapy at last follow-up at three months, one had concern for autism and mild gait abnormality at 21 months, two had concern for speech delay (18 months and 24 months), and one had normal development at most recent follow-up (four years).
    Conclusions: Positive short-term outcomes may occur for some cases of fetal CSVT and DSM. However, risk factors and best treatments are not clear, and long-term outcome data are limited. There is a need for further study.
