As a localized hydrocephalus, trapped temporal horn (TTH) can be effectively resolved via cerebrospinal fluid shunting. In addition to conventional ventriculo-peritoneal shunt (VPS), temporal-to-frontal horn shunt (TFHS) has been described as a less complex and invasive procedure with promising results; however, there is limited data comparing VPS to TFHS regarding patient outcomes. This study aims to compare TFHS versus VPS for treatment of TTH. We conducted a comparative cohort study with patients undergoing TFHS or VPS for TTH after surgery of trigonal or peritrigonal tumors between 2012 and 2021...

Primary intracranial Rosai-Dorfman disease (PIRDD) is considered a nonmalignant nonneoplastic entity, and the outcome is unclear due to its rarity. The study aimed to elaborate the clinic-radiological features, treatment strategies, and progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with PIRDD. Patients with pathologically confirmed PIRDD in our institute were reviewed. Literature of PIRDD, updated until December 2019, was systematically searched in 7 databases (Embase, PubMed, Cochrane database, Web of Science, Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, the VIP Chinese Science and Technology Periodical Database (VIP), and the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI))...

Clinical outcomes for patients admitted to hospital during weekend hours have been reported to be poorer than for those admitted during the week. Aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH) is a devastating form of haemorrhagic stroke, with a mortality rate greater than 30%. A number of studies have reported higher mortality for patients with aSAH who are admitted during weekend hours. This study evaluates the effect of weekend admission on patients in our unit with aSAH in terms of time to treatment, treatment type, rebleeding rates, functional outcome, and mortality...

Due to the deep location, complex anatomy, and adjacent vital neurovascular structures, skull base surgery is challenging and requires specific approaches. The emerging endoscopic transorbital approach (eTOA) technique provides a new approach to the orbital content, spheno-orbital region, lateral cavernous sinus, and Meckel's cave. In this study, the clinical utility and effectiveness of the eTOA are reported. Sixteen cases who underwent the eTOA were included in the current study. The patients were divided into 3 groups according to tumor location: Group A (intraorbital, 6 cases), group B (spheno-orbital, 7 cases), and group C (cavernous sinus, and Meckel's cave, 3 cases)...

The supracerebellar infratentorial (SCIT) approach is commonly used to gain access to the lateral mesencephalic sulcus (LMS), which has been established as a safe entry point into the posterolateral midbrain. This study describes a lateral variant of the SCIT approach, the supreme-lateral SCIT approach, for accessing the LMS through the presigmoid retrolabyrinthine craniectomy and quantitatively compares this approach with the paramedian and extreme-lateral SCIT approaches. Anatomical dissections were performed in four cadaveric heads...

For patients with unruptured intracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), the risk of a hemorrhagic event is approximately 2% to 4% annually. These events have an associated 20-50% morbidity and 10% mortality rate. An understanding of risk factors that predispose these lesions to rupture is important for optimal management. We aimed to pool a large cohort of both ruptured and unruptured AVMs from the literature with the goal of identifying angiographic risk factors that contribute to rupture. A systematic review of the literature was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines using Pubmed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science databases...

The role of radiotherapy (RT) and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) as adjuvant or salvage treatment in high-grade meningiomas (HGM) is still debated. Despite advances in modern neuro-oncology, HGM (WHO grade II and III) remains refractory to multimodal therapies. Published reports present aggregated data and are extremely varied in population size, exclusion criteria, selection bias, and inclusion of mixed histologic grades, making it extremely difficult to draw conclusions when taken individually. This current work aims to gather the existing evidence on RT and SRS as adjuvants following surgery or salvage treatment at recurrence after multimodality therapy failure and to conduct a systematic comparison between these two modalities...

Patients with brain metastases (BM), who can benefit from resection of multiple scattered lesions, often will not be offered a procedure involving multiple craniotomies in one session due to the overall poor prognosis. However, carefully selected candidates may well benefit from the resection of multiple lesions using multiple craniotomies through a significantly shortened hospital stay, aggressive decompression, and rapid eligibility for adjuvant therapies. In this retrospective analysis, the records of patients, who were treated for multiple BM using one surgical session involving multiple craniotomies, were reviewed...

Post-aSAH sequela is characterized by the onset of life-threatening complications along with the upregulated underlying inflammation. Cerebral vasospasm (CVS) is one of the most frequent complication after aSAH, which contributes majorly to delayed cerebral ischemia and poor clinical outcome. The objective of this study was to identify the clusters of serum biomarkers that are associated with cerebral vasospasm (CVS) after suffering from aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). In this single-center study, serum concentrations of 10 potential biomarkers, together with clinical and demographic parameters, for 66 aSAH patients were recorded within 24 h after aSAH...

Lateral mass screw (LMS) and cervical pedicle screw (CPS) fixation are among the most popular techniques for posterior fusion of the cervical spine. Early research prioritized the LMS approach as the trajectory resulted in fewer neurovascular complications; however, with the incorporation of navigation assistance, the CPS approach should be re-evaluated. Our objective was to report the findings of a meta-analysis focused on comparing the LMS and CPS techniques in terms of rate of various complications with inclusion of all levels from C2 to T1...
