Systematic review of treatment for unruptured intracranial aneurysms: clipping vs coiling
CONCLUSION: The study showed that coiling was associated with a lower occlusion rate, shorter hospital stay, lower bleeding risk, and lower short-term mortality and morbidity compared to clipping. In terms of ischemia risk, 1 year mortality and morbidity, coiling and clipping bear similar risk. We suppose that clipping may have a better outcome than coiling in the long term especially for young patients. Further research is needed to confirm our conclusion.PMID:38650551 | DOI:10.5137/1019-5149.JTN.23729-18.1 (Source: Turkish Neurosurgery)

Primary afferents of trigeminal autonomic reflex may not be nociceptive: A case report
CONCLUSIONS: Contrary to popular belief, in the patient who was pain-free after percutaneous balloon compression, the transiently overactivated nerve fibers that led to hypersalivation were not nociceptive afferents of the trigeminal nerve.PMID:38650552 | DOI:10.5137/1019-5149.JTN.34594-21.1 (Source: Turkish Neurosurgery)

Non-Detection of HCMV Total Genomic DNA in Human Glioma Cells Genome
CONCLUSION: We found that the genomic DNA of all the samples was negative for HCMV genomic DNA. Thus, HCMV could not be detected in human glioma tumors and we put forward that HCMV genomic DNA was not incorporated into the genomic DNA of glioma cells. Thus, total viral DNA is not involved in the pathogenesis of glioma; however, small viral particles or specific genes might be incorporated into the genomic DNA of glioma cells, leading to cancer development. This prompts further studies for verification.PMID:38650560 | DOI:10.5137/1019-5149.JTN.42717-22.1 (Source: Turkish Neurosurgery)

Comparison Between Intraoperative Target Area CementEnhanced Percutaneous Vertebroplasty and Conventional Percutaneous Vertebroplasty for Osteoporotic Thoracolumbar Non-Total Vertebral Fractures
CONCLUSION: Target area cement-enhanced PVP can effectively relieve short-term pain and functional disability and reduce the long-term possibility of secondary collapse. Therefore, it is a technically feasible and efficacious method for the treatment of osteoporotic thoracolumbar non-total vertebral fractures.PMID:38650561 | DOI:10.5137/1019-5149.JTN.43749-23.2 (Source: Turkish Neurosurgery)

Coil embolization of the azygos anterior cerebral artery aneurysm: Three case reports
We report three cases of coil embolization for distal ACA aneurysms with distal azygos ACA at our institution in 7 years. All patients were over 65-year-old women with saccular aneurysms larger than 7 mm; two with subarachnoid hemorrhage and one with an unruptured aneurysm. No patient had surgical complications associated with coil embolization. Coil embolization is also useful for large aneurysms in the distal azygos ACA, and its indication for treatment could be broadened.PMID:38650562 | DOI:10.5137/1019-5149.JTN.44130-23.1 (Source: Turkish Neurosurgery)

Ersin Arslan City Hospital, Department of Neurosurgery, Gaziantep, T ürkiye
CONCLUSION: The results obtained in the present study reveal that in case of implant-dependent infection, the first sample taken can be checked for slime factor, and if there is infection with slime factor-negative bacterium, treatment without removing the implant may be recommended. S. aureus was used in the study because it is the most common cause of implant-related infection at surgical sites. Further studies using different bacterial species are needed to reach a definitive conclusion.PMID:38650565 | DOI:10.5137/1019-5149.JTN.43753-23.1 (Source: Turkish Neurosurgery)

Relationship between brain tumors and intracranial aneurysms: a systematic review
CONCLUSION: There is a lack of evidence to affirm that the existence of brain neoplasm plays a role in the formation and rupture of intracranial aneurysms. Additionally, there is insufficient evidence to confirm a greater prevalence of intracranial aneurysms in individuals with brain tumors. The association of these two disorders does not appear to worsen patient outcome. Prognosis depends on tumor pathology for malignant cases and on subarachnoid hemorrhage in patients with ruptured aneurysms.PMID:38650567 | DOI:10.5137/1019-5149.JTN.43614-23.4 (Source: Turkish Neurosurgery)

Two-step effective Onyx embolization from the occipital artery for the treatment of intracranial dural arteriovenous fistula: a technical note
CONCLUSIONS: Prior embolization using Onyx or coil of the distal OA helped prevent Onyx from unexpected embolization through the subcutaneous branches that were not associated with the shunt, thereby leading to effective embolization. This new two-step embolization technique from the OA may improve the obliteration rate of DAVFs with OA feeders using TAE with Onyx.PMID:38650568 | DOI:10.5137/1019-5149.JTN.44648-23.1 (Source: Turkish Neurosurgery)

Full Endoscopic anterior cervical discectomy versus anterior cervical discectomy with fusion. A systematic review
Conclusion A definitive conclusion cannot be drawn. Single-level AECD seems to have results equivalent to ACDF, presenting even some benefits. Technical limitations combined with required surgical skills and experience should be considered.
