BACKGROUND: Hyperselective neurectomy is a reliable treatment for spasticity. This research was designed to quantify the surgical parameters of hyperselective neurectomy of thoracodorsal nerve for shoulder spasticity through anatomical studies, as well as to retrospectively assess patients who underwent this procedure to provide an objective basis for clinical practice. METHODS: On nine embalmed adult cadavers (18 shoulders), we dissected and observed the branching patterns of thoracodorsal nerve, counted the number of nerve branches, measured the distribution of branch origin point, and determined the length of the surgical incision...

BACKGROUND: Anterior communicating artery aneurysms are most prone to rupture. Surgically, they are conventionally being managed by a pterional approach. Some neurosurgeons prefer a supraorbital keyhole approach in select cases. Fully endoscopic clipping of such aneurysms is seldom described. METHOD: We clipped an antero-inferiorly directed anterior communicating artery aneurysm endoscopically via a supraorbital keyhole approach. The intraoperative aneurysmal rupture was also managed endoscopically...

PURPOSE: The intracranial aneurysm (IA) rupture is associated with a subarachnoid hemorrhage. One third of patients die, and one third remain depend for daily activities. Genetic factors are crucial in the formation and clinical evolution of IAs. Multiple loci have been associated with AIs, much of them implicating multiple pathways related to vascular endothelial maintenance and extracellular matrix integrity. Thus, the aim of our study was to characterize whether polymorphisms in genes implicated in the vascular endothelial maintenance could modify the risk of developing IAs...

PURPOSE: In surgery for intramedullary spinal cord tumors (imSCT), distortion of the anatomy challenges the visual identification of dorsal columns (DC) for midline myelotomy. Dorsal column mapping (DCM) and spinal cord stimulation (SCS) can identify DC neurophysiologically. We compare application and feasibility of both methods. METHODS: Patients with surgically treated imSCT were prospectively included between 04/2017 and 06/2019. The anatomical midline (AM) was marked...

BACKGROUND: Chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) is a unique hemorrhagic complication associated with microsurgical clipping. We aimed to investigate the risk factors of subdural hygroma (SDG) formation and its hemorrhagic conversion to cSDH. METHODS: We reviewed the medical records of 229 patients who underwent microsurgical clipping for unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIA) from 2016 to 2019. Risk factors for SDG and cSDH formation were analyzed. RESULTS: Male sex, age ≥ 60 years, higher degree of arachnoid dissection, severe brain atrophy, and a large volume of subdural fluid collection (SFC) before discharge were independent risk factors for SDG formation...

BACKGROUND: Recovery after traumatic brain injury (TBI) in older adults is usually affected by the presence of comorbidities, leading to more severe sequelae in this age group than in younger patients. However, there are only few reports that prospectively perform in-depth assessment of outcome following TBI in elderly. OBJECTIVE: This study aims at documenting structural brain characteristics and functional outcome and quality of life in elderly patients 6 months after TBI and comparing these data with healthy volunteers undergoing the same assessments...

BACKGROUND: Meningiomas are the most common intracranial tumors. Recent advancements in the genetic profiling of tumors have allowed information including DNA copy number analysis, mutational analysis, and RNA sequencing to be more frequently reported, in turn allowing better characterization of meningiomas. In recent years, analysis of tumor methylomes that reflects both cell-origin methylation signatures and somatically acquired DNA methylation changes has been utilized to better classify meningiomas with great success...

BACKGROUND: In this study, we propose a butterfly needle tap and suction (BTS) technique for recurrent chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) as an alternative to reoperation with burr hole craniostomy (BHC) and investigate its efficacy and safety. The procedure involves percutaneous puncture through the burr hole created during the previous surgery and subsequent hematoma evacuation using a butterfly needle. METHODS: This retrospective study included patients who underwent BTS for CSDH at Ogaki Municipal Hospital between January 2017 and December 2020...

BACKGROUND: Neuromuscular choristoma (NMC) is a rare peripheral nerve lesion characterized by abnormal presence of muscle within nerve. Associated desmoid-type fibromatosis (NMC-DTF) often develops. We report 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG PET) characteristics of NMC and NMC-DTF and propose that increased FDG activity within NMCs may be associated with subclinical NMC-DTF or NMC-DTF "precursor" tissue. METHODS: Our institutional database was searched for all NMC cases...

BACKGROUND: The number of patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) who are on antithrombotic agents before ictus is rising. However, their effect on early brain injury and disease development remains unclear. The primary aim of this study was to determine if antithrombotic agents (antiplatelets and anticoagulants) were associated with a worse initial hemorrhage severity, rebleeding rate, clinical course, and functional recovery after aSAH. METHODS: In this observational study, those 888 patients with aSAH, treated at the neurosurgical department, Uppsala University Hospital, between 2008 and 2018 were included...

We report a patient with tremor-dominant Parkinson's disease who had a mild cavitation bioeffect during magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound thalamotomy. During the aligning phase with low-energy sonication, cavitation caused mild dysarthria and paresthesia, prompting treatment cessation. At the same time, tremor and rigidity improved. MRI revealed extensive high-intensity lesions in the thalamus 1 day after the procedure followed by steroid infusion, which resulted in resolution of adverse events...

BACKGROUND: Upper cervical chordoma (UCC) is a rare disease, and although transoral approaches are the methods of choice, minimally invasive techniques have not been established. METHOD: We report the successful use of endoscopic transoral surgery for upper cervical chordoma at the C1-3 levels in the midline epidural space in an 8-year-old girl who presented with neck pain and quadriplegia. Three months after occipitocervical posterior fixation, endoscopic transoral surgery was performed and the tumor was nearly totally removed...

BACKGROUND: Fatigue is a highly prevalent and debilitating symptom among patients in the chronic phase of aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH) with no identified effective treatment. Cognitive therapy has been shown to have moderate effects on fatigue. Delineating the coping strategies used by patients with post-aSAH fatigue and relating them to fatigue severity and emotional symptoms could be a step towards developing a behavioural therapy for post-aSAH fatigue. METHODS: Ninety-six good outcome patients with chronic post-aSAH fatigue answered the questionnaires Brief COPE, (a questionnaire defining 14 coping strategies and three Coping Styles), the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), Mental Fatigue Scale (MFS), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI)...

PURPOSE: Placement of a subdural drain after burr-hole drainage of chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) significantly reduces risk of its recurrence and lowers mortality at 6 months. Nonetheless, measures to reduce morbidity related to drain placement are rarely addressed in the literature. Toward reducing drain-related morbidity, we compare outcomes achieved by conventional insertion and our proposed modification. METHODS: In this retrospective series from two institutions, 362 patients underwent burr-hole drainage of unilateral cSDH with subsequent subdural drain insertion by conventional technique or modified Nelaton catheter (NC) technique...
