INTRODUCTION: Pygopagus comprises 17% of all conjoined twin cases. Survival rate is higher compared to other variations of conjoined twins, but separation is a great challenge due to multiorgan involvement. Intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) used aims to aid operator in preserving as much function as possible. CASE PRESENTATIONS: The authors reported 2 pairs of pygopagus separation. Intraoperatively, motor-evoked potential (MEP) and sensory-evoked potential (SEP) were used in all patients...

INTRODUCTION: Eosinophilic granuloma (EG) is the most common form of Langerhans cell histiocytosis, presenting as a single osteolytic lesion of the calvarium. Its diagnosis is based on typical clinical and radiological features. While surgical resection has been the standard treatment for EG, growing evidence favors watchful waiting, as unifocal calvarial lesions appear to frequently undergo spontaneous remission. However, histopathological confirmations of this hypothesis are still very limited...

INTRODUCTION: Ventriculo-gallbladder shunt (VGS) has been recognized as a last-resort alternative to treat hydrocephalus when the peritoneum and/or other distal sites can no longer receive shunts. In some specific conditions, it may be conceded as a first-line treatment. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 6-month-old girl with progressive post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus who presented a concomitant chronic abdominal symptom. Specific investigations ruled out acute infection and led to the diagnosis of chronic appendicitis...

It is very unusual for a primary intracranial malignancy to present as a chronic subdural hematoma. This case report describes one such case in a 3-year-old girl who presented with raised intracranial pressure following a mild head injury. Imaging of her brain revealed bilateral chronic subdural hematomas with an enhancing subdural mass and multiple nodular lesions infiltrating the brain parenchyma. She underwent a craniotomy, drainage of the subdural collections and resection of the subdural mass. Histopathology revealed an undifferentiated sarcoma, and she was referred for adjuvant therapy...

PURPOSE: To compare the outcomes of conducting left and right hemisphere surgical revascularization on the same day versus different days for bilateral pediatric moyamoya arteriopathy patients. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed mortality, stroke, and transient neurologic event (TNE) rates in North American bilateral pediatric moyamoya arteriopathy patients who underwent bilateral cerebral revascularization. RESULTS: A total of 38 pediatric (≤ 18 years old) patients at our institution underwent bilateral cerebral revascularization for moyamoya arteriopathy...

We made a reply to the letter to editor regarding "Fourth ventricle stent placement for treatment of type I Chiari malformation in children" by Prof. Afshari. He gave some comments on the primary cause of low-lying cerebellar tonsils and the risk of the fourth ventricle stent (FVS). We make further explanation of our opinion on Chiari malformation and the value of FVS.

Cavernous malformations (CM) have long been considered congenital of central nervous system, while the mechanism of CMs detailed development process associated with genetic factors remains unclear. We reported an uncommon case which suffered spinal cord cavernous malformations. In this work, representative samples were obtained, and the sequenced results were described for the first time. A 9-year-old boy was found oblique shoulder with slightly weakness of left limbs; MRI indicated spinal cord cavernous malformations (CMs) located at the C4-C6 vertebral level...

INTRODUCTION: Intracranial cavernous malformations (CMs) are rare vascular malformations of the central nervous system in children. Infantile patients, being a developmentally vulnerable age group, pose a special challenge for management of these lesions. We pooled data from infantile patients diagnosed at our institution and individual cases published in the literature to provide input towards therapeutic decision-making. METHODS: A systematic search of PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, and Scopus was performed in accordance with PRISMA guidelines to identify all reported cases of intracranial CMs in the literature for infantile patients aged ≤ 2 years...

PURPOSE: Pediatric neurosurgical history in Latin America possesses rich and fascinating origins; the large number of neurosurgical societies that form the continent and the inspiring achievements of the pioneers in the field in every single Latin American country are described here. This unique text explores the aspects of this neurosurgical specialty since its beginnings by neurosurgeons trained outside Latin America, who brought the pediatric practice to their home countries, writing a new chapter in the neurosurgical history, constructing the foundations for the present pediatric practice and the few fellowships found in the continent...

PURPOSE: To provide an analysis of pediatric neurosurgery educational opportunities in Latin America in order to characterize and evaluate the strengths, weaknesses, and limitations to assume a career in pediatric neurosurgery. METHODS: An online survey was distributed to pediatric neurosurgeons in Latin America to assess aspects of pediatric neurosurgical education, working conditions, and training opportunities. The survey was open to neurosurgeons that treat pediatric patients, whether or not they had completed fellowship training in pediatrics...

OBJECTIVE: Encephaloceles are considered to result from defects in the developing skull through which meninges, and potentially brain tissue, herniate. The pathological mechanism underlying this process is incompletely understood. We aimed to describe the location of encephaloceles through the generation of a group atlas to determine whether they occur at random sites or clusters within distinct anatomical regions. METHODS: Patients diagnosed with cranial encephaloceles or meningoceles were identified from a prospectively maintained database between 1984 and 2021...

PURPOSE: Medulloblastoma (MB) is the most common malignant pediatric brain tumor. Current treatment allows decent survival rates but often with life-long morbidity. Molecular classification provides a base for novel therapeutic approaches. However, these groups are heterogeneous. MicroRNA-125a has a tumor suppressor function. It is downregulated in several tumors. The expression of microRNA-125a in MB patients remains unclear. Therefore, this study was designed to evaluate the expression of microRNA-125a in molecular groups of pediatric MB patients in Egyptian population and its clinical significance...

PURPOSE: Postoperative urinary dysfunction following untethering surgery for spinal lipoma is devastating. To assess urinary function, we invented a pediatric urinary catheter equipped with electrodes for the direct transurethral recording of myogenic potential from the external urethral sphincter (EUS). This paper presents two cases in which urinary function was monitored intraoperatively by recording of motor-evoked potential (MEP) from EUS during untethering surgery in children. METHODS: Two children (aged 2 and 6 years) were included in this study...

PURPOSE: Cribriform neuroepithelial tumor (CRINET) is a provisional category of intraventricular tumors, sharing similarities with AT/RTs, and there is a lack of data about its pathology, prognosis, and surgical approaches in the literature. We have been challenged to describe the surgical approach to a rare case of CRINET and describe the intraoperative features since none has been described before. Surgical resection and chemotherapy hold a great importance of favorable prognosis. METHODS: Twenty-month-old male with intraventricular tumor underwent transcallosal intraventricular tumor resection and endoscopic intraventricular second look stages...

REVIEW
Vijaya Kancherla
Neural tube defects (NTDs) are common birth defects and contribute to life-long disabilities, high medical care costs, and perinatal and child mortality. This review is a primer on prevalence, causes, and evidence-based prevention strategies for NTDs. The estimated average global prevalence of NTDs is two cases per 1000 births, amounting to approximately 214,000-322,000 affected pregnancies worldwide annually. Prevalence and associated adverse outcomes are disproportionately high in developing countries...

PURPOSE: To assess the performance of the risk-predicting Milan Complexity Scale (MCS) on postoperative morbidity in pediatric neuro-oncological surgery. METHODS: A retrospective dual-center review of children undergoing primary brain tumor resection in Denmark over a 10-year period. MCS scoring was performed based on preoperative imaging, blinded to individual outcomes. Surgical morbidity was registered according to existing complication scales and dichotomized as significant or nonsignificant morbidity...
