Following dural reconstructions with TissuDura without surgical sutures, no local toxicity or complications were observed for up to 1 year. TissuDura demonstrated elasticity, non-reactivity, and good adaptability. The overlay technique using fibrin glue was simple and fast. Future studies and longer follow-up are needed to confirm the efficacy of TissuDura.

KRYPTONITE Bone Cement is a nonthermal conducting, radiopaque, nonmagnetic, lightweight, simple to prepare, and easily applicable and molded material. Moreover, it has adhesive, bioabsorbable, and osteoconductive properties. To our knowledge, we present the first case of cranial reconstruction using this cement without cranial fixation systems.

We report on one case of variant origin of right ophthalmic artery (OA) from C4 choroidal segment of the right supraclinoid internal carotid artery. A 41-year-old woman affected by bitemporal hemianopsia performed Magnetic Resonance Imaging with gadolinium showing tuberculum sellae meningioma. During angiography we observed this variant of origin of OA. At surgical dissection, we observed this variant in carotid cistern.
