Multiple lesions with minimal enhancement with perilesional edema were observed in cerebral cortex in contrast with enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of the brain, givingrise to starry sky appearance.

Laterally located to these lesions, the cranial nerves and carotid artery are subject to injury during removal of hemangiomas through a transcranial route. Therefore, forsurgi- cal management of cavernous sinus hemangiomas a medial corridor granted through an endoscop- ic endonasal approach may be less traumatic to the neurovascular bundle. \u0000Case-1 describes a 23-year old male who presented with intermittent blurred vision and very mild ptosis on the right side for two yearsbefore admission. Fundoscopic exam, visual acuity and perimetry tests were normal. With intense enhancement after contrastadministration, both brain MRI and CT scan demonstrated an extra-axial mass in the right cavernous sinus. \u0000Case-2 presents a 59-year-old male, a known case of renal oncocytoma who underwent nephrec- tomy a year before, with chief complain ofmoderate intermittent headaches. Imaging study of the brain by MRI revealed a sellar mass. \u0000Near-total resection for case-1 and gross total resection for case-2 were performed through the an extended endoscopic endonasal approach. \u0000We report two cases of near-total and gross total resection of CSHs via an extend- ed endoscopic endonasal approach substantiatingadvances in minimal access neurosurgery to the treatment of such grim lesions of an intricate vicinity of the skull base. At the same time, we focus to review extensively the growing yet heterogenous literature of the past twenty \u0000years on the broached topic. The evolution of extended endoscopic endonasal approach over the past two decades changes the dynamism of the surgical practices steeped in tradition and provides a safer alternate route for preserving cranial nerves of this anatomic region.","PeriodicalId":34254,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Clinical Practice","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46112912","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this anomaly, the right atrium communicates with the morpho- logic left ventricle, which gives rise to the pulmonary artery, while the left atrium communicates with the morphologic right ventricle, which gives rise to the aorta. Thus, atrioventricular and ventriculoarterial discordance (double discordance) exist, and although the blood flows in the normal direction, it passes through the wrong ventricular chambers. It is a unique conotruncal anomaly, inwhich the four-chamber view is abnormal. It may be associated with other heart disorders. In most fetuses, TGA remains undiagnosed before birth. The diagnosis of TGA can be made by care- fully and appropriately evaluating the anatomic locationsof cardiac chambers and the connections between the atria, ventricles, and great arteries with high-resolution ultrasound. Patients with isolated CTGA generally present later in life with signs and symptoms related to either arrhythmias or heart failure. TGA is rarely associated with chromosomal abnormality and amniocentesis is usually not undertaken. We report a case of CTGA detected at 18 week’s gestation on screening ultrasound.","PeriodicalId":34254,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Clinical Practice","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45056949","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Disseminated infection can involve almost all organs in the body but isolated pancreatic tuberculosis is rarely reported in the literature.
