We try to ascertain whether total thyroidectomy with radical neck dissection offers a survival and recurrency advantage for thyroid cancer. Between January 2000 and September 2009 in the 3rd Surgical Unit of the "Sf. Spiridon" Hospital of Iaşi 189 operations were performed for malign thyroid disorders, 164 (86,77%) of which were performed for the papillary or foliculary cancer. The diagnosis was confirmed by hystopathological examination. The patients had a medium age of 51,48 (extremes 19 - 81 years). Women had a greater proportion, as expected (sex ratio F:M = 2,85:1). 59 total thyroidectomy with radical or modified radical neck dissection were performed. There were immediate (6 bleedings which needed reoperation for haemostasis, 7 unilateral recurrent laryngeal nerve injury) and late complications (8 cases of recurrency in the first 2 years). Total thyroidectomy with radical neck dissection became the ellective method for advanced thyroid cancer (the best results were for papillary cancer, female and age over 55).

A 36-year-old woman with a history of neck swelling was diagnosed with papillary thyroid carcinoma, a common but typically slow-growing thyroid cancer with a good prognosis. Despite frequent lymph node metastasis, mortality rates are low. This cancer can rarely spread to unusual areas like the axillary region.

Aneurysms of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) account for up to 40% of all unruptured intracranial aneurysms [1-3] and 14% to 20% of ruptured ones. [4-5] Giant MCA aneurysms are rare, representing 10% of cases [6], but carry an aggressive natural history, with the UCAS Japan study reporting an annual rupture rate of ∼ 17%. [7].

BACKGROUND The management of unstable atlas fractures remains a subject of ongoing debate and controversy. The conservative surgical treatment commonly involves fusion, resulting in severe loss of cervical spine mobility, and a large incisions and extensive tissue dissection are required. We aim to introduce a novel concept and surgical approach for treating atlas fracture, one that involves minimizing trauma while maintaining mobility of the upper cervical spine without resorting to fusion.
