Background: Regarding their relation to the spinal cord (SC), resection of pre-medullary meningiomas may be technically challenging. Anterior approach via corpectomy represents a nice option reducing the need for mobilization of the SC.
Case Description: We describe the case of a patient presenting with a cervical meningioma, located anterior to the SC and operated on through an anterior approach. Surgery consisted of a 2-levels discectomy and C7 corpectomy, midline opening of the dura and then microsurgical resection of the tumor. After coagulation of the implantation base, the dura was then closed in a watertight fashion. Finally, the anterior column was reconstructed using a titanium mesh-cage and anterior plating.
Conclusion: In the case of cervical meningioma located anterior to the SC, anterior approach may be considered as an alternative option to remove the tumor.

Purpose: Blepharitis and lower eyelid ectropion are highly prevalent ocular conditions occurring in 37%-46% and 2-3% of the general adult population, respectively. Blepharitis has multifactorial origins and involves anterior and posterior types of eyelid inflammation. Lower eyelid ectropion results in ocular surface exposure, epiphora and chronic conjunctivitis.

Purpose: Cysticercosis, caused by Taenia solium larvae, can affect various ocular and extraocular structures, leading to significant morbidity. Ultrasound B-scan imaging plays a pivotal role in diagnosing and classifying cysticercosis lesions. The aim of the study was to describe the ultrasound B-scan characteristics of ocular and extraocular cysticercosis, proposing a classification system based on anatomical localization to enhance understanding and management.

Objectives: In rectal cancer surgery, a diverting stoma (DS) is used to prevent severe anastomotic leakage (AL), peritonitis, reoperation, and longer hospitalization. DS creation has increased in the last few decades, without establishment of clear criteria for construction of a DS. Therefore, the goal of the study was to investigate the validity of DS construction based on risk factors for AL, as an approach to reduce the number of stoma creations.

Methods: The study included patients diagnosed with ACL injury who underwent ACL reconstruction. Patients were enroled consecutively and divided into non-fibrotic (controls) and fibrotic (cases) groups until a balanced sample of matched case-control was achieved.

Introduction: Total and sub-total lesions of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) are one of the most frequent and performance-limiting injuries to the knee joint within the active population. Early surgical management, often regarded as the primary management strategy, has recently been shown to have similar outcomes when compared with an initial rehabilitative approach followed by surgical ACL reconstruction if higher levels of functionality are needed. The primary objective of the study was to investigate the physiotherapists and orthopedic surgeons' "coper/non-coper" screening application in the clinical management of the patient after ACL injury.
