BACKGROUND: Careful examination of motor-evoked potential (MEP) findings is critical to the safety of intraoperative neuromonitoring during neurosurgery. We reviewed the intraoperative MEP findings in a pediatric patient who had undergone hemispherotomy for refractory epilepsy. CASE DESCRIPTION: The patient was a 4-year-and-2-month-old boy with extensive right cerebral hemisphere, drug-resistant epilepsy, left upper and lower extremity paralysis, and cognitive impairment...

PURPOSE: To provide an overview of outcome and complications of selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) and intrathecal baclofen pump implantation (ITB) for spasticity treatment in children with hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP). METHODS: Retrospective study including children with HSP and SDR or ITB. Gross motor function measure (GMFM-66) scores and level of spasticity were assessed. RESULTS: Ten patients were included (most had mutations in ATL1 (n = 4) or SPAST (n = 3) genes)...

BACKGROUND: Aneurysmal bone cyst is composed of variable -sized cystic blood-filled spaces separated by connective tissue septae. First-line surgical resection of spinal aneurysmal bone cyst in a child with limited total blood volume can lead to massive intraoperative bleeding, thus limiting extent of resection. Our Centre's has good experience of using absolute alcohol as an effective immediate devascularizing agent during vertebral hemangioma surgery in children. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We report the first case of pediatric lumbar primary aneurysmal bone cyst in which completely blood-less piecemeal total resection of the lesion was performed after intraoperative absolute alcohol intralesional sclerotherapy...

PURPOSE: Few guidelines exist for genetic testing of patients with moyamoya arteriopathy. This study aims to characterize the yield of genetic testing of non-syndromic moyamoya patients given the current pre-test probability. METHODS: All pediatric moyamoya patients who received revascularization surgery at one institution between 2018 and 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients with previously diagnosed moyamoya syndromes or therapeutic cranial radiation were excluded...

INTRODUCTION: Following transcallosal surgery for tumour resection, the formation of convexity or interhemispheric subdural cerebrospinal fluid collections may lead to clinical deterioration and may influence decision-making with regards to additional interventions. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence, risk factors, and management of subdural collections following the transcallosal approach in a paediatric cohort. METHODS: A retrospective case note and radiological review of all children who underwent transcallosal surgery for intraventricular and thalamic tumours was carried out covering a 12-year period (2012-2023) in a single-centre tertiary paediatric neurosurgery unit...

PURPOSE: Abnormalities in notochordal development can cause a range of developmental malformations, including the split notochord syndrome and split cord malformations. We describe two cases that appear related to unusual notochordal malformations, in a female and a male infant diagnosed in the early postnatal and prenatal periods, which were treated at our institution. These cases were unusual from prior cases given a shared constellation of an anterior cervicothoracic meningocele with a prominent "neural stalk," which coursed ventrally from the spinal cord into the thorax in proximity to a foregut duplication cyst...

INTRODUCTION: Intraoperative neurophysiology (ION) has been established over the past three decades as a valuable discipline to improve the safety of neurosurgical procedures with the main goal of reducing neurological morbidity. Neurosurgeons have substantially contributed to the development of this field not only by implementing the use and refinement of ION in the operating room but also by introducing novel techniques for both mapping and monitoring of neural pathways. METHODS: This review provides a personal perspective on the evolution of ION in a variety of pediatric neurosurgical procedures: from brain tumor to brainstem surgery, from spinal cord tumor to tethered cord surgery...

BACKGROUND: Traumatic intracranial aneurysms (TICAs) constitute a notable portion of pediatric intracranial aneurysms. Their unstable structure dictates a high incidence of rupture or mass effect from enlarging unruptured aneurysms, necessitating prompt diagnosis and treatment. TICAs often lack a true neck or are wide-necked, making them unsuitable for coil embolization and surgical clipping, and their fragile nature poses a risk of rupture during surgical and intrasaccular interventions...

We present the case of a previously healthy 13-year-old boy who was admitted to the emergency department with acute flaccid paralysis. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed radiological evidence of longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis. Additionally, homogeneous T2 signal increase was observed in the pons and medulla oblongata, initially indicating brainstem encephalitis. Subsequent evaluations confirmed a coexistence of diffuse midline glioma (DMG) in the brain stem alongside acute transverse myelitis (ATM)...

Germline mutations in mismatch repair (MMR) genes (MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2) can be mono-allelic or biallelic, resulting in a Lynch syndrome (LS) or constitutional mismatch repair deficiency (CMMRD) syndrome respectively. Glioma arising in the setting of MMR deficiency is uncommon. We describe two pediatric patients with high-grade glioma (HGG) and associated MMR protein deficiency. On histomorphology both cases showed HGG with astrocytic morphology and prominent multinucleated tumor cells. On immunohistochemistry, the first case was negative for IDH1 p...

OBJECTIVE: The challenge of pediatric brain tumor surgery is given due to a relative low prevalence but high heterogeneity in age, localization, and pathology. Improvements of long-term overall survival rates were achieved during the past decades stressing the importance of a multidisciplinary decision process guided by a national treatment protocol. We reviewed the entire spectrum of pediatric brain tumor surgeries from the perspective of an interdisciplinary pediatric neuro-oncology center in Germany...

BACKGROUND: In spite of the continuous progresses in pediatric neurosurgery, adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma (AC) remains a challenging tumor due to its proximity to optic pathways, pituitary gland, hypothalamus, and Willis' circle, which can result in significant endocrine, cognitive, and neurological morbidity after treatment with subsequent impact on the patient's quality of life (QoL). The relevance that QoL has today explains the changes in the management of AC observed over the time...

PURPOSE: Choroid plexus tumors (CPT) are relatively rare CNS tumors that primarily occur in children. They are classified as low-grade choroid plexus papilloma, including atypical ones, and high-grade choroid plexus carcinoma based on histological characteristics. There has been extensive academic research regarding these complex tumors. The goal of this work was to identify the 100 most-cited articles pertaining to CPTs in order to better understand the most impactful studies to date...

The cloverleaf skull deformity remains among the most complicated craniofacial conditions to successfully manage. Many cases achieve largely unsatisfactory outcomes due to the requirement for frequent reoperation on the cranial vault and failure to deal with all the elements of the craniofaciostenosis in a timely fashion. Early cranial vault surgery without addressing the cranial base deformity and its attendant cerebrospinal fluid flow changes is invariably challenging and disappointing. A recent focus on the expansion of the posterior cranial vault as a primary procedure with the greater volume change allows a delay in fronto-orbital advancement and reduced need for repeat surgery...

PURPOSE: Spina bifida is a major disorder that occurs when the membranes of the spinal cord and medulla fail to close during the embryonic period and affects the individual for the rest of life. Some physical, mental, and social difficulties can be observed in the lives of children with spina bifida after surgery. The aim of this study is to determine what kind of volumetric changes occur in the brain when spina bifida occurs in different regions of the cord. METHODS: The volume of intracranial structures of 14 children aged 1 to 9 years (7 cervical, 7 lumbosacral) with different levels of spina bifida compared with vol2Brain...
