BACKGROUND: Hemorrhagic conversion (HC) is a known complication following acute ischemic stroke(AIS) in patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy(MT). While symptomatic HC(sHC) has been shown to lead to poor neurologic outcomes, the effect of asymptomatic HC(aHC) is unclear. This study aims to identify predictors of aHC and to determine the short-term outcomes. METHODS: This is a single-institution retrospective study of patients with anterior circulation stroke(AIS) who underwent MT between January 2016 and September 2022...

INTRODUCTION: The long-term outcomes following stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for pediatric brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) remains poorly understood given the paucity of longitudinal studies. A systematic review was conducted to pool cumulative incidences for all outcomes. METHODS: PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science were queried to systematically extract potential references. The articles relating to AVMs treated via SRS were required to be written in the English language, involve pediatric patients (< 18 years of age), and include a mean follow-up period of > 5 years...

OBJECTIVE: Basilar invagination is one of the most frequently observed abnormalities at the craniovertebral junction, in which the odontoid process of C2 prolapses into the foramen magnum. METHODS: The current study included 27 patients who underwent surgery for basilar invagination between October 2013 and January 2023. The study group was divided into 2 groups according to basilar invagination types; type I (the presence of type A atlantoaxial instability and instability is the main pathology) and type II (the presence of type B and C atlantoaxial instability and skull base dysgenesis is the main pathology)...

A 50-year-old man presented with mild unconsciousness after a fall-induced head injury. Initial imaging revealed a left-sided acute subdural hematoma. After transportation to our hospital, his condition deteriorated, leading to the discovery of a new hemorrhage and an anterior falcine artery aneurysm upon further examination. The patient underwent successful decompressive craniectomy and endovascular occlusion. This case, the first reported of a traumatic anterior falcine artery aneurysm, suggests the initial injury caused both the hematoma and aneurysm...

BACKGROUND: The efficacy of surgical intervention in ameliorating long-term prognosis for moderate volume of cerebral hemorrhage in the thalamus-internal capsule region remains unsubstantiated by clinical investigations. Consequently, the acquisition of credible evidence is imperative to authenticate the effectiveness of these methodologies.

BACKGROUND: Calcified lumbar disc herniations(CLDH) causing calcified ventral stenosis CVS) pose a therapeutic challenge to the treating surgeon due to their neural adhesions, location, and hardness. METHODS: This retrospective study analyzed all the cases of CLDH/CVS managed by transforaminal endoscopic lumbar discectomy(TELD) with a minimum follow-up of 24 months. The pre-operative images were analyzed for the level, migration; and grade(Lee's migration zones), and location(MSU classification)...

OBJECTIVE: There is no firm evidence regarding cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt reimplantation after infection in the pediatric population. The purpose of this study was to compare different criteria and analyze new shunt failure. METHODS: It is a cross-sectional, retrospective, and multicenter study, in six years; the first to study patients and each infected shunt at diagnosis, reimplantation, and post-reimplantation, dividing patients into two groups: Group 1(G1): Reimplantation after negative serial CSF cultures during the antibiotic treatment; Group 2(G2): Reimplantation after negative serial pancultures following antibiotics completion; the differences were measured with: Mann Whitney and Chi-square tests; multivariate analysis and association were calculated using Odds Ratio based on logistic regression...

BACKGROUNDS: To identify high-risk patients for delayed postoperative hyponatremia (DPH) early, we constructed a simple and effective scoring system. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 141 consecutive patients who underwent endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery (TSS) from January 2019 to December 2022. Patients were divided into DPH group and non-DPH (NDPH) group based on whether hyponatremia occurred after the third postoperative day. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was conducted to determine the predictive factors of DPH, and a simple scoring system was constructed based on these predictors...

BACKGROUND: Venous sinus thromboses (VST) are rare complications of neurosurgical procedures in proximity of the dural sinuses. Surgery of posterior cranial fossa (PCF) and particularly of cerebello-pontine angle (CPA) show increased risk of VST. VST management is challenging as anticoagulant therapy must be balanced with the risk of post-operative bleeding. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to summarize the most important neuroradiological and clinical aspects of VST after PCF/CPA surgery...

STUDY DESIGN: A series of 32 patients, submitted to a tailored stability-preserving micro-endoscopic decompression for lumbar spine degenerative disease was retrospectively analyzed. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study is to explore the effectiveness of a less invasive posterior spine decompression in complex deformities. We studied the potential advantages of the micro-endoscopic approach, supplemented by the piezoelectric technique, to decompress both sides of the vertebral canal, from a one side approach to preserve spine stability, ensuring an adequate neural decompression...

BACKGROUND: Traditional microsurgical approaches for addressing intraventricular craniopharyngioma pose limited access to the retrochiasmatic area and tumors with significant lateral or rostrocaudal extensions. Extended endoscopic endonasal approaches can effectively overcome many of limitations, yet they require a favorable angle between the optic chiasm and pituitary gland, as well as the involvement of the third ventricle floor by the tumor. METHODS: Herein, the authors describe the surgical nuances of a keyhole technique for resecting third ventricle craniopharyngiomas via a fully endoscopic minimally-invasive trans-eyebrow supraorbital translaminar approach (ESOTLA)...

BACKGROUND: Percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) is commonly used to treat severe osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) by restoring vertebral height. However, its application in mild cases is not frequently discussed. METHODS: The study retrospectively included 100 treated vertebral bodies of the 91 patients mentioned before, and efficacy was evaluated using visual analog scale (VAS) and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) scores preoperatively, 2 days postoperatively, and at 1 and 6 months after treatment, as well as mean variation in vertebral body height...
