OBJECTIVE: To report the pregnancy which was made by in vitro fertilization using recombinant follicle stimulating hormone and gonadotropin releasing hormone antagonist. MATERIAL AND METHOD: Case report. RESULTS: Six oocytes were retrieved and all were fertilized by intracytoplasmic sperm injection. Six embryos were transferred and the pregnancy was confirmed. CONCLUSION: It is envisaged that the availability of recombinant gonadotropins and gonadotropin releasing hormone antagonists will ultimately lead to shorter, cheaper and safer treatments, using reduced dosages.

Pleomorphic adenoma in lacrimal gland is a rare disease. Injuries to capsule surrounding the tumor lead to recurrence or malignant transformation of tumor by seeding of tumor cells into adjacent tissues. Therefore complete removal of tumor without any injury to capsule is important. We present 2 cases of pleomorphic adenoma of lacrimal gland with symptoms of exophthalmos, hypophthalmos and supraduction limitation. We performed frontatemporal craniotomy and removed orbital roof for the exposure of the tumor located at superior portion of orbit. We removed the tumor with intact capsule avoiding any damage to superior levator palebral muscle and superior rectus muscle microscopically. Periosteum of superior orbital roof was repaired and frontal bone was repositioned. As a result, patients had no symptoms of exophthalmos, hypophthalmos and supraduction limitation. There are no complications of ptosis, diplopia, dry eye syndrome, symblepharon and scar on the face. Transcranial approach for removal of pleomorphic adenoma of lacrimal gland provides wide exposure of the tumor for complete removal of the mass without any damage to surrounding tissues and good cosmetic effects.

The purpose of this study was to identify the branching patterns and the distribution of the cortical branches of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) in 100 cerebral hemispheres of Korean adults. The intracranial arteries were perfused with red latex compounds. The territory of the MCA was divided into 12 areas: orbitofrontal, prefrontal, precentral, central, anterior parietal, posterior parietal, angular, temporo -occipital, posterior temporal, middle temporal, anterior temporal and temporopolar. Branching pattern of the main trunk of the MCA was divided into five types: Type I: a single -trunk type of MCA in 34% of cases; Type II: bifurcation (57%); Type III: trifurcation (5%); Type IV: quadrifurcation (1%); Type V: two MCAs originated from the internal carotid artery (3%). The MCA of the bifurcation type was classified into equal bifurcation (20%), superior trunk dominant (11%) and inferior trunk dominant (26%) according to the cortical area. The superior trunk of the equal bifurcation supplied from the orbitofrontal to posterior parietal area. The outer diameter of the main trunk of the MCA was 3.15 +/-0.52 mm on average. The anatomical types of the MCA were discussed with the related symptoms in disease of the MCA.

Monozygotic twinning is a relatively rare event in vivo conception, being estimated to occur in 0.42% of all birth. The underlying mechanism for monozygotic twin formation is the division of the embryo early in its development. Separation of cells may theoretically occur before or after inner cell mass formation. The incidence of monozygotic twinning following assisted reproduction techniques is higher than the commonly accepted incidence after in vivo conception. Patients at particular risk of monozygotic twins are those aged > 35 years and those who had manipulation techniques for assisted fertilization. Hence, it seems prudent to counsel these patients about the potential obstetric complications of monozygotic multiple gestations prior to the initiation of their treatment.
