Transpalpebral approach for microsurgical clipping of an unruptured basilar apex aneurysm: case report and literature review.

Background And Importance: The supraorbital "keyhole" approach has been described for the treatment of basilar artery aneurysms. Transpalpebral approach (TPA) is an alternative minimally invasive route to aneurysms of the Circle of Willis with excellent functional and cosmetic outcomes.

Clinical Presentation: 53-years-old female who presented with an incidentally found 6.

Transpalpebral Approach for Microsurgical Removal of Tuberculum Sellae Meningiomas.

Background: The evolution of skull base approaches associated with individualization of surgical corridor and minimizing the collateral damage. Achieving the radical removal of tumor and preserving the neurological status of the patient is possible, both with the traditional approaches and keyhole approaches. Our work presents experience using the transpalpebral approach (TPA) for microsurgical removal of tuberculum sellae meningioma (TSM).

Transpalpebral approach in skull base surgery: how I do it.

Background: Keyhole surgery has been actively developing in the last two decades. Modern neuroimaging, preoperative individual planning, and innovative neurosurgical equipment allow us to operate through mini craniotomy with minimization of approach-related complications.

Method: Preoperative planning is very critical.

Chromosome morphometry in opisthorchiid species (Platyhelminthes, Trematoda).

Few existing studies have dealt with cytogenetics in trematodes, largely due to the attendant technical difficulty of chromosome preparation. We performed a comparative analysis of chromosomes in five opistorchiid species, including Opisthorchis felineus Rivolta, 1884, Opisthorchis viverrini Poirier, 1886, Clonorchis sinensis Cobbold, 1875, Metorchis xanthosomus Creplin 1846, and Metorchis bilis (Braun, 1790) Odening, 1962. For some of these species, no detailed morphometric description of their karyotypes has yet been published; for the karyotype of Metorchis bilis this is the first-ever description.
