Preliminary observation on predicting the need for coil extraction during microsurgery: the clip-coil ratioEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion In reviewing our preliminary experience, we observed that coil extraction during microsurgery was not necessary when the clip coil ratio was ≥1.3. The ratio may serve as an indirect indicator of the amount of aneurysm tissue that can be incorporated within a clip; however, given the small patient population, further studies are needed to validate this concept.

Conclusions Navigation using anatomical landmarks for registration is a reliable method in the localization of the TSSJ for retrosigmoid craniotomies and thereby avoiding unnecessary sinus exposure. 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.

Conclusion Although craniopharyngiomas exhibit a benign histopathological pattern, cerebrospinal fluid seeding along the surgical route or along the CSF pathways has been observed. 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.

Conclusion The results of this study suggest a relationship between the decreased glutamate transporter expressions in dysplastic tissues which,in turn, may cause increased extracellular concentrations of glutamate and FCD pathophysiology.Further studies with larger patient populations,investigating the expression of glutamate transporters at mRNA and protein levels, are required to clarify their roles in the pathophysiology of FCD.

Pediatric colloid cysts of the third ventricle: management considerationsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions Pediatric colloid cysts are rarer than their adult counterparts due to their late detection only after manifestations of raised intracranial pressure, visual or cognitive dysfunction or drop attacks occur. 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. Cont...

Abstract Degenerative disc disease is one of the most frequent spinal disorders. 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 asp...

Genes influencing coagulation and the risk of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, and subsequent complications of secondary cerebral ischemia and rebleedingEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions We found that aneurysmal SAH patients are more often carriers of the subunit B His95Arg factor XIII polymorphism compared to controls. 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 o...

Surgical resection was performed, and histological examination confirmed the presence of choroid plexus in the cyst wall. This is the first reported case of ectopic choroid plexus at the cerebellopontine angle in an adult. We present the case and review the literature.

Influences of stents on the outcome of coil embolized intracranial aneurysms: comparison between a stent-remodeled and non-remodeled treatmentEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions Coil embolization is an effective treatment method for intracranial aneurysms, however, changes on follow-up may affect the long-term outcome. Stent remodeling may aid in preserving and enhancing the treatment durability especially in small aneurysms.

Intracranial pressure pulse amplitude during changes in head elevation: a new parameter for determining optimum cerebral perfusion pressure?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions Head elevation is an important part of the ICP and CPP therapy in neurointensive care. When searching for the patient-specific optimum upper body position, ICPPA may provide additional information. Providing that the cerebral autoregulation is intact, the lowest ICPPA of a patient corresponds to the individual upper body position with the highest CPP.

Conclusion Nonaneurysmal SAH is a begnin entity, though there is a difference between pmSAH and non-pmSAH in outcome. Self-evaluations of vitality and individual health in both groups are often experienced as reduced, thus imposing the question of whether neurological rehabilitation should be recommended despite good neurological outcome.

What makes Maurice Ravel’s deadly craniotomy interesting? Concerns of one of the most famous craniotomies in historyEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract Maurice Ravel (1875–1937), the great impressionist-classicist composer of many popular compositions, such as the Boléro, suffered from a progressive disease and died following an exploratory craniotomy by Clovis Vincent. 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 in...
