Intraoperative Use of Endoscope, a Valuable, Adjunctive Tool for the Surgical Management of Anterior Communicating Artery Aneurysm Surgery: Our Institutional Experience.

Background: Anterior communicating (A-com) artery region is very complex; perforators are not always visualized on the microscope. The neuroendoscope with its higher magnification, better observation, and additional illumination can provide us information that may not be available with the microscope in aneurysm surgery.

Objective: The objective was to study the use of endoscope in surgical management of A-com aneurysm surgery and its advantages, whether and how it changes operative management.

Intraoperative Use of Microscope-Integrated Flow 800 - A Valuable Tool in Surgical Management of Anterior Communicating Artery Aneurysm: Our Institutional Experience.

Background: Flow 800 is microscope-integrated analytical visualization tool which analyses the indocyanine green (ICG) video sequence and converts it into an intensity diagram. This allows an objective evaluation of the result rather than subjective assessment of ICG fluorescence. The anatomy of anterior communicating artery region is complex because of multiple vessels and perforators in small space; hence, there is a need of objective assessment tool which can give precise idea about vascular compromise.

Human Tail: A Benign Condition Hidden Out of Social Stigma and Shame in Young Adult - A Case Report and Review.

A human tail is a rare congenital anomaly which mostly presents immediately after birth or in early childhood. Here, we are presenting a case of 17-year-old male who presented with 18-cm long tail, which was hidden till this age because of social stigma and shame.
