Cholecystogastric fistula masquerading as gastrointestinal stromal tumour
Rationale: We present the case of gallbladder adenomyomatosis (GA)-induced cholecystogastric fistula (CGF) that mimicked an invasive gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), leading to diagnostic and surgical challenges in an emergency setting. Patient concerns: A 71-year-o...

Vascular Imaging Features and Time-Specific Recurrence Risk After Craniocervical Artery Dissection
Background and ObjectivesCraniocervical artery dissection (CCAD) is a major cause of stroke in young adults, yet its recurrence risk remains poorly defined because of delayed enrollment in prior research. We aimed to determine the temporal distribution of recurrent ischemic strok...
