The aim of surgery should, therefore, be adequate decompression with preservation of neural structures. Aggressive debulking should be avoided. Onset of any neurological symptoms/signs, bowel or bladder symptoms or intractable local symptoms should be an indication for surgery.

We posit that preserved connectivity between components of the basal ganglia-thalamocortical circuit may be required for the effectiveness of electrical stimulation. VBM may represent a powerful tool to predict the response of patients with advanced PD to STN stimulation.

Furthermore, information about side effects is usually insufficient. We recommend to advice all patients on all treatment options by an interdisciplinary team. The counselling should firstly be based on evidence-based medicine and secondly respond to the patients’ individual life situation and preferences.

Radiotherapy after volume reductive surgery in TFM type II and III and decompression of eloquent anatomical structures with low tolerance of radiation should be considered.

Special attention is warranted when the needle traverses the upper third of the pyramid to avoid the variant course of the MA. Image-guided techniques and detailed anatomical knowledge are necessary to expand the use of this route not just for approach to lesions within the parasellar and upper third of the petroclival region but also to lesions invading the infratemporal fossa.

The illustrative case further exemplifies the value of close interaction between members of the management team for optimal outcome.

The data gave no support to the hypothesis that pulsatile ICP is higher within the CSF of the cerebral ventricles (ICPIV) than within the subdural (ICPSD) compartment or the brain parenchyma (ICPPAR) in iNPH patients.

Literature review  We review the rare occurrence of sellar region schwannomas, their clinical presentation, operative management, outcomes, and the possible pathogenesis. Analysis  The absence of Schwann cells in the central nervous system and the absence of neighboring cranial nerves in these two cases raise issues of the pathogenesis of these rare but curious lesions.

A reoperation rate of 10% during follow-up seems relatively high at first glance. Comparable data, however, are scarce, and a prospective randomized trial (spondylodesis vs. dynamic stabilization) is warranted based on these results.

This questions the need for aggressive transfusion management. Prospective analysis is required to determine the lowest acceptable hematocrit value during the OR phase which neither increases mortality nor impairs recovery. For this, a larger caseload and early monitoring of cerebral metabolism and oxygenation are indispensable.

It may have additional advantages such as the reduction of soft tissue manipulation, faster mobilization of the arm, and quicker return of the patients to their daily activities.

The patient presented with foot drop and impossibility to stand on his right heel associated with numbness of anterolateral surfaces of the right shin and the dorsal surface of the foot within a 1-month period. Based on the clinical examination and electroneuromyography data, the compression of nerve by soft elastic mass was confirmed. We treated the patient by total microsurgical excision of the soft elastic mass adherent to the right peroneal nerve at the top third of the patient’s shin. Histological study revealed the cyst of synovial membrane. During the postoperative period, a force in extensors of the right foot was restored. On the seventh day, the patient began to step on his right heel, w...

In addition, the method proved to be fast and accurate. The asterion was found to be a less accurate landmark for the localization of the TSSJ using navigation.

Ectopic recurrence of craniopharyngioma suggests that meticulous protection of the whole surgical field and careful handling of the tumor during the operation are required. It should be emphasized that long-term follow-up is mandatory, even in patients undergoing a total removal.

Their radiological appearance varies depending upon the amount of mucoid content, cholesterol, proteins, and water content. The fast development of clinical manifestations in children may be related to rapid enlargement of cyst due to higher water content within them. The transcallosal approach is the “gold standard” of surgery and usually ensures gratifying and lasting results.

Most of the patients with aSDH due to a ruptured aneurysm present in exceptionally poor neurological condition. Nevertheless, rapid surgical treatment of the hematoma and aneurysm obliteration can lead to a favorable outcome. Routine CTA should be performed in all patients presenting with an aSDH associated with SAH and no clear history of trauma.

The anatomy and the biomechanics of the intervertebral disc are very complex, and the pathomechanics of its degeneration are poorly understood. Despite this complexity and uncertainty, great advances have been made in the field of disc replacement technology, with promising results. Difficulties are continuously being encountered, but careful analysis of the results and intensive research and development will assist in countering these problems. There are approximately 40 clinical reports in the literature describing various aspects of randomised controlled trials involving intervertebral disc arthroplasty. However, the majority of these publications do not provide reliable information, in tha...

This suggests that carriers of the subunit B His95Arg factor XIII polymorphism have an increased risk of aneurysmal SAH. Larger studies should confirm our results. As aneurysmal SAH patients who died soon after admission could not be included in the present study, our results only apply to a population of patients who survived the initial hours after the hemorrhage. For the other studied genetic factors involved in coagulation, no association with the occurrence of aneurysmal SAH or with the occurrence of secondary cerebral ischemia or rebleeding after aneurysmal SAH could be demonstrated.

The history of his progressive dementia and the contribution of a car accident, following which he was unable to function, have received a certain amount of interest in the neurological literature previously, but his deadly craniotomy was not evaluated from a neurosurgery perspective. The car accident in 1932, with the probable consequence of a mild-to-moderate traumatic brain injury, could be the key event in his life, triggering the loss of his ability to compose. It is clear that he never recovered from his injury and within a year he became...

The frontolateral approach allows quick and minimally invasive access to OGMs less than 4 cm in diameter, and also to tumors more than 4 cm in diameter without encasement of the anterior cerebral artery complex. Tumor size more than 4 cm in diameter and encasement of the anterior cerebral artery complex are limiting factors for the frontolateral approach if radical tumor removal is considered.

The majority of the spinal paragangliomas are benign, slowly growing tumors with low proliferative activity. Despite these characteristics, local recurrence has been reported in cases of both macroscopically total and subtotal resection. Postoperative radiation therapy for patients with incomplete excision may not prevent recurrence, so gross tumor removal should be the goal of surgery.

It is helpful in using multiple atlas orientations simultaneously. It also may be useful in atlas interpolation and construction of a fully consistent 3D atlas. As the consistency of the main stereotactic targets is medium, the use of the TT atlas in stereotactic procedures requires a great deal of care and understanding of its limitations.

Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a homogeneously enhancing mass lesion occupying the bilateral medial portions of the body of the lateral ventricle. Cerebral angiography disclosed a vascular-rich tumor, fed mainly by the left lateral posterior choroidal artery. After devascularization of the feeding vessel by endovascular coiling, the patient underwent complete surgical excision of the tumor via an anterior transcallosal approach, followed by radiation therapy, and has thus far been disease-free for 5 years. The present patient represents the first reported case of hemangiopericytoma arising in the body of the lateral ventricle. In this location of hemang...

This patient, who suffered from congenital toxoplasmosis, at the age of 29 years had undergone no fewer than 82 shunt revisions. In the 5-year follow-up after treatment, she has had no further surgery or other treatment. She is in excellent condition and has demonstrated definite signs of improved CSF circulation. This case report confirms that a pedicle of the omentum may serve as an effective CSF absorber in patients presenting with persistent failures with conventional treatments of communicating hydrocephalus, avoiding the use of any i...

The flat configuration of the cable distributes the load over a larger contact area under the lamina compared to metal wires without producing imaging artefacts in postoperative imaging. This preliminary report demonstrates the efficacy and safety of this technique for the stabilization of thoracolumbar spinal disorders.
