BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic caused significant disruptions to healthcare systems around the world, due to both high resource utilization and concern for disease spread. Delays in non-emergent surgeries have also affected chronic disease management, including that of benign brain tumors such as meningiomas and pituitary adenomas. To evaluate the effect of COVID-19 infection on benign brain tumor resection rates and subsequent perioperative and inpatient outcomes, this study utilized the 2020 National Inpatient Sample (NIS) to investigate rates of surgical resection, time to surgery, and mortality among benign brain tumor patients with and without COVID-19...

BACKGROUND: Surgery of the fourth ventricle is challenging due to the presence of several surrounding delicate structures. Traditional approaches do not offer an easy visualization of these areas, especially those on the roof. Thanks to the most recent developments in neurosurgical endoscopy, it is possible to access the fourth ventricle via physiological pathways, avoiding unnecessary stress or damage to the nervous and vascular structures. METHODS: We present the case of a patient with a lesion at the lingula-superior medullary velum, and an history of surgically resected lung and pancreatic adenocarcinomas...

During surgeries of the posterior cranial fossa, sacrificing the superior petrosal vein (SPV) can enhance visualization of the operative field but may also lead to postoperative venous infarction with potentially fatal consequences. We previously proposed that the safety of SPV sacrifice depends on whether there are collaterals that can take on the venous flow of the SPV after its sacrifice. Here, we propose several practical strategies that may be able to evaluate the presence of collaterals to the SPV, so that the safety of SPV sacrifice can be assessed...
