In this study, we aimed to investigate the demographic, clinical, and genetic characteristics of patients aged 18 years and older who were diagnosed with FMF. Patients diagnosed with FMF between 2014 and 2022 at Karadeniz Technical University Faculty of Medicine Hospital were included in the study.

However, only a handful of studies have examined the MW analysis in ischemia with nonobstructive coronary artery (INOCA) disease. This study, therefore, aimed to detect the early left ventricular involvement in INOCA patients diagnosed by an invasive coronary angiography performing the MW analysis.

- - The study introduces an OS-sparing linear paramedian dural incision technique that avoids sacrificing the occipital sinus, resulting in fewer complications during midline suboccipital surgeries.
- - This technique was applied to five cases, successfully preserving the occipital sinus, achieving watertight closure, and completely resecting tumors and cavernomas without any cerebrospinal fluid leaks or wound complications.
- - The findings suggest that this approach reduces risks associated with traditional durotomies, such as bleeding and infections, but further validation with a larger patient group is necessary.
