We report our experience on the treatment of tuberculum sellae meningiomas (TSMs) regarding the involvement of the optic canal and clinical outcomes. We reviewed 23 patients who were operated on between January 1997 and December 2008. The surgical approach was unilateral subfrontal supraorbital osteotomy in one piece. Attempts were made to improve visual function via extra/intradural unroofing ...

Malformations of the lower limbs are rare and heterogeneous anomalies. Some congenital anomalies involving face, gastrointestinal system, skeletal system, urogenital system, heart, lung and diaphragma associated with lower limb malformations have been described in the literature. Here, we report a case of left proximal femoral focal deficiency (PFFD) together with fibular aplasia associated wit...

Glaucoma represents a group of neurodegenerative diseases characterized by structural damage to the optic nerve and the slow, progressive death of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is traditionally considered to be the most important risk factor for glaucoma, and treatment options for the disease have hitherto been limited to its reduction. However, visual field...

Some histological and histochemical findings on the allergic experimental myositis of guinea pig and human cases with neuromuscular diseases were reported. Innoculated animals showed hardly any clinical sings but histological changes of thigh muscle and diaphragma which were similar to those seen in human polymyositis. Diaphragma showed more remarkable changes than thigh muscle. In human polymy...
