BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to achieve a consensus on the minimum set of outcome measures and predictors to be used in the neurosurgical practice and on the timing of outcome assessment. METHODS: A consensus building approach was employed. All neurosurgical departments in Lombardy (Italy) were invited to participate by the Carlo Besta Neurologic Institute IRCCS Foundation. Three workshops were organized during which a multidisciplinary group called Neurosurgical Outcome Network (NEON) was created and the methodology to select outcome measures, predictors, and timing of outcome assessment was established...

INTRODUCTION: Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is a modern neuromodulation technique extensively proven to be an effective modality for treatment of chronic neuropathic pain. It has been mainly studied for complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) and failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS) and recent data almost uniformly establishes its statistically significant positive therapeutic results. It has also been compared with other available treatment modalities across various studies. However, long term data on maintenance of its efficacious potential remains less explored...

BACKGROUND: The neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), the platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), the lymphocyte-monocyte ratio (LMR), the neutrophil-monocyte ratio (NMR) and the systemic immune inflammation index (SII) are associated with clinical outcomes in oncological diseases, cardiovascular diseases, infectious / inflammatory diseases, endocrinological, pulmonary and brain injuries. Here, we investigate its association with hospital mortality in patients with severe traumatic brain injury...

BACKGROUND: In laboratory-based neuroanatomical studies, surgical freedom, the most important metric of instrument maneuverability, has been based on Heron's formula. Inaccuracies and limitations hinder this study design's applicability. A new methodology, volume of surgical freedom (VSF), may produce a more realistic qualitative and quantitative representation of a surgical corridor. METHODS: Overall, 297 data set measurements assessing surgical freedom were completed for cadaveric brain neurosurgical approach dissections...

INTRODUCTION: Echinococcosis is a chronic disease caused by Echinococcus species. The central nervous system (CNS) hydatidosis is still a major concern, especially in endemic countries, due to non-specific features and late diagnosis and treatment. This study aimed to provide a systematic review to elucidate the epidemiology and clinical characteristics of CNS hydatidosis worldwide over the past decades. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION: PubMed, Scopus, EMBASE, Web of Science, Ovid, and Google Scholar were systematically searched...

INTRODUCTION: We sought to evaluate a potential association between contact vs. non-contact sport participation and long-term neurologic outcomes and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). EVIDENCE ACQUISITION: PubMed/Embase/PsycINFO/CINAHL databases were queried for studies between 1950-2020 with contact and non-contact sports, longitudinal assessment >10 years, and long-term neurologic outcomes in four-domains: I) clinical diagnosis; II) CTE neuropathology; III) neurocognition; and IV) neuroimaging...

In recent years navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS) has emerged as a useful tool for the preoperative mapping of brain cortical areas surrounding neoplastic tissues allowing for maximal safe tumor resection and minimizing new postoperative permanent neurological deficits. Three patients presenting with an intrinsic brain tumor (one metastasis from mammary carcinoma, one high-grade glioma, and one low-grade glioma) located within or in close relationship to the central sulcus were enrolled for this study...

BACKGROUND: In approximately 15% of spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) patients, no bleeding source is found in the initial imaging. These patients can be categorized as either perimesencephalic (PM-SAH) or non-perimesencephalic (NP-SAH) subarachnoid hemorrhage patients. Follow-up imaging is routinely performed after NP-SAH to detect treatable etiologies; however, the optimal follow-up imaging protocol remains unclear. This study examines the optimal time interval to re-imaging and the performance of magnetic resonance imaging and angiography (MRI/A) in this setting...

BACKGROUND: Tumorous involvement of the second cervical vertebra is an infrequent, but severe disease. Primary tumors and solitary metastases can be addressed by a radical procedure, a complete removal of the whole compartment. The second cervical vertebra has a highly complex anatomy, and its operation requires considerable surgical skills. The aim of this retrospective study is to present technical aspects of complete resection of C2 for tumor indications, clinical and radiological evaluation of our group of patients and comparison of results of recent reports on surgery in this region in the literature...

BACKGROUND: Glioblastoma is one of the most common malignant brain tumors in adults with poor prognosis. Neovascularization is one of the characteristics of these tumors, which is associated with overexpression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Accordingly, single nucleotide polymorphisms of this gene could play an important role in structural and functional alterations leading to overexpression of this gene in GBM. METHODS: A total number of 49 patients with GBM and 50 healthy controls were included in the current study...

INTRODUCTION: Adjacent segment degeneration is among the most recognized longterm complications of lumbar surgery for degenerative spine pathologies with a relevant impact in spine surgical and clinical practice. It is reported a incidence of clinical adjacent segment disease between 5-30% of patients undergoing spinal fusion. We aimed to evaluate the main clinical and surgical risk factors for developing adjacent segment disease. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION: A systematic review and meta-analysis of the pertinent literature was performed, according to PRISMA and PICO guidelines, focusing on clinical and radiological adjacent segment disease...
