		Anencephaly is the absence of the cerebral hemispheres and overlying tissues, leaving the diencephalon exposed to the surface.
		Cerebral ischaemia and haemorrhage, hypoxia secondary to respiratory distress, acidosis, hypothermia, hypoglycaemia due to liver immaturity, lack of autoregulation of cerebral blood flow in relation to blood pressure, and trauma, even of mild degree, are some of the interrelated factors predisposing to cerebral damage in such preterm infants.
		Clumsiness is sometimes due to ‘minimal cerebral palsy’ with some of the same epidemiological risk factors and minor neurological signs but it is not always so, and various disconnection syndromes, specific cortical sensory defects, disorders of cerebral dominance, and defective registration of new memories for sensorimotor patterns may all play a part in different individuals.

		A diagnosis was made of multilocular ovarian cyst or edematous myoma of the uterus, and on the morning of December 7, 1890, an operation was performed.
		Ovarian cysts, of which by far the greater number are of the glandular variety, form extremely large tumors; ovarian dropsies of enormous dimensions are recorded repeatedly throughout medical literature.
		The adhesions were separated and the cyst tapped with a large trocar, and then the septa between the cysts were broken down with the fingers.

	Pituitary adenomas
		In adulthood, these adenomas are relatively rare with a prevalence of 50-80 cases/million, and an incidence of 3-4 new cases/million per year (87), while gigantism is extremely rare with approximately 100 reported cases to date (88).
		In contrast with adults where there is an increased prevalence of large bowel polyps and cancer, central or obstructive sleep apnea and cardiomyopathy which are considered major morbidity and mortality factors (91-95), there is no report of similar complications in childhood.
		In pediatric patients with gigantism, trans-sphenoidal surgery was found to be as safe as in adults (110).

		Prolactinomas are the most common functioning pituitary adenomas and produce excess amount of prolactin that results in amenorrhea (irregular menstrual periods), breast discharge (galactorrhea), infertility, and sexual dysfunction.
		Pituitary adenomas that produce growth hormone cause gigantism in children (due to still active growth plates) or acromegaly in adults.
		Endoscopic pituitary surgery can be performed for various types of pituitary tumors such as prolactinomas, Cushing's disease, gigantism or acromegaly, non-secreting adenomas, and for pituitary adenomas invading the cavernous sinus or extending into the suprasellar region.
