Is time really brain in stroke therapy?: A meta-analysis of mechanical thrombectomy up to 155 h post ictus
ConclusionOur meta-analysis provides evidence that supports the need of further randomized and prospective clinical trials to better assess the effectiveness and safety of MT in these patients. (Source: Acta Neurochirurgica)

Extended reality in cranial and spinal neurosurgery – a bibliometric analysis
ConclusionsResearch regarding the use of XR in neurosurgery increased significantly from 2005. Cranial research focused on VR and resident education while spinal research focused on AR and neuronavigation. Female authorship was underrepresented. North America provides most of the high-impact research in this area. (Source: Acta Neurochirurgica)

Delayed vagal nerve compressive neuropathy following placement of vagal nerve stimulator: case report
AbstractVagal neuropathy causing vocal fold palsy is an uncommon complication of vagal nerve stimulator (VNS) placement. It may be associated with intraoperative nerve injury or with device stimulation. Here we present the first case of delayed, compressive vagal neuropathy associated with VNS coil placement which presented with progressive hoarseness and vocal cord paralysis. Coil removal and vagal neurolysis was performed to relieve the compression. Larger 3 mm VNS coils were placed for continuation of therapy. Coils with a larger inner diameter should be employed where possible to prevent this complication. The freque...

Endovascular thrombectomy for treatment of isolated posterior cerebral artery occlusion: a real-world analysis of hospitalizations in the United States
ConclusionRetrospective analysis of a large administrative registry in the Unites States demonstrates an association of EVT with favorable outcomes following IPCA occlusion, without concomitant risk of hemorrhagic transformation or mortality. (Source: Acta Neurochirurgica)

The effects of cerebral pressure autoregulation status and CPP levels on cerebral metabolism in pediatric traumatic brain injury
ConclusionsIncreased levels of CMD lactate and LPR in children with severe TBI appears to be related to disturbed CPA (PRx). Increased lactate and LPR also seems to be associated with actual CPP levels ≥ 70 mmHg. However, higher lactate and LPR values were also seen when actual CPP was above CPPopt. Higher CPP appears harmful when CPP is above the upper limit of pressure autoregulation. The findings indicate that CPPopt guided CPP management may have potential in pediatric TBI.

Trends in incidence and treatments of spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage- a 10 year hospital based study
ConclusionsThe incidence of patients with SAH gradually decreased in our material, in line with national data. The treatment policy in our unit has been shifting to more use of endovascular methods. During the study period the use of hemicraniectomies decreased. (Source: Acta Neurochirurgica)

Ruptured aneurysm in collateral arteries with blood-flow impairment of posterior inferior cerebellar artery: a report of three cases
AbstractHerein, we report three cases of cerebellar hemorrhage due to a ruptured small aneurysm located on a collateral artery compensating for one or more stenotic or occluded major cerebellar arteries. In each case, endovascular distant parent artery occlusion of both the collateral artery and aneurysm was performed to prevent rebleeding. A ruptured small aneurysm in a collateral artery may be observed in patients with hemorrhage in an atypical cerebellar region, especially in cases of stenosis or occlusion of the vertebral artery or posterior inferior cerebellar artery. Thus, cerebral angiography is recommended to rule ...

Full endoscopic surgery for calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease (CPPD) in the cervical ligamentum flavum: report of two cervical myelopathy cases
We present two successful cases where full endoscopic systems were used for CPPD removal in the cervical spine. The surgical technique involved a full endoscopic approach, adapting the previously reported technique for unilateral laminotomy bilateral decompression. Full-endoscopic removal of cervical CPPD inducing myelopathy were successfully removed with good clinical and radiologic outcomes. The scarcity of endoscopic cases for cervical ligamentum flavum CPPD is attributed to the condition's rarity. However, our successful cases advocate for endoscopic surgery as a potential primary treatment option for CPPD-induced cerv...
