<p class="abstract">The anterior inferior cerebellar artery arises at the cerebellopontine angle (CPA), usually from lower one third of basilar artery. However, vascular anatomy (AICA) is highly variable. In respect to neurovascular relationship in internal auditory canal (IAC), AICA intimately related with vestibulocochlear and facial nerve. Microvascular compression nerve by an importan...

BACKGROUND While arthroscopic surgery has many advantages over traditional surgery, this minimally invasive technique is not often applied to the hip joint. Two main reasons for this are the complexity of navigating within the joint and the difficulty of correctly placing portal incisions without damaging critical neurovascular structures. This paper proposes a computer-aided navigation system ...

PURPOSE The indication for surgery in locally advanced prostate cancer is growing considering and long-term follow-up shows that 60-80% of patients can be free of clinical recurrence. The aim of this video is demonstrate the modifications in traditional laparoscopic surgery that permit to observe the oncological principles reproducing open surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS A 55 years-old male pr...

Introduction: The sensory loss and alteration of the shape of the foot make the foot liable to trauma and pressure, and subsequently cause more callus formation, blisters, and ulcers. Foot ulcers usually are liable to secondary infection as cellulitis or osteomyelitis, and may result in amputations. Foot ulcers are a major problem and a major cause of handicaps in leprosy patients. The current ...

Virtual planning is ideally suited for maxillofacial operations as it allows the surgeon to assess bony and critical neurovascular structures enables him plan osteotomies fracture reductions. This study aims propose use of titanium-based patient-specific implants (PSI), along with virtual surgical advantages complications in a case orbital reconstruction. A three-dimensional model skull was gen...

Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is one of the most common causes facial pain. Microvascular decompression (MVD) first‑choice surgical treatment. The present study aimed to develop a novel practical assessment system based on preoperative clinical and imaging factors for clinicians predict likelihood pain recurrence following MVD in TN. A total 56 patients with primary unilateral TN who underwent were...

Nasal polyposis is an invalidating disease which develops through chronic inflammation which leads to tissue oedema and eventually polyps. Treatment is aimed at eliminating polyps, resolving rhinitis symptoms, re-establishing nasal breathing and olfaction and preventing recurrence. The pathogenesis can be explained, in part, by degranulation of mast cells and release of mediators attracting eos...

Background and Purpose—Small case series have associated Marfan syndrome with cerebral and spinal ischemia or hemorrhage. However, there has been no investigation of the frequency and etiology of neurovascular disorders in a large series of Marfan patients. Methods—We conducted a retrospective, hospital-based study of all Marfan syndrome patients seen in an 8-year period. Records were reviewed ...
