Genetic Clues to Meningioma Meningiomas are the most common primary brain tumors in adults. Located within layer of tissue covering brain, these usually slow-growing and benign but can cause serious neurological complications. About half have mutations neurofibromin 2 gene ( NF2 ). To identify other genes that contribute meningioma pathogenesis, Clark et al. (p. 1077 , published online 24 January) performed genome sequence analysis on 300 tumors. fell into two general classes: located at...
We describe a COVID-19 patient who presented with persistent headache and anosmia that was related to viral encephalomyelitis acute lesions on MRI in both the brain upper cervical cord.
OBJECTIVE Brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) can occur in patients with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT). However, brain AVM without HHT has also been reported. Using whole exome sequencing, the authors performed comprehensive genomic characterization of a 6-person Turkish family 3 cases HHT. METHODS Three siblings AVM, one whom had spinal were evaluated. The parents and fourth sibling no on cranial MRI. capture Illumina sequencing blood samples from 2 AVM. RESULTS An ACVRL1...
Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) are defined as benign cystic lesions of composed blood-filled spaces. ABCs may be a secondary pathology superimposed on fibrous dysplasia (FD). Concomitant FD and ABC in relation with McCune-Albright syndrome is an extremely rare condition. Here, we report concomitant, double bilateral occipital regions from the skull base to C2 vertebra Chiari type 1 malformation. A 14-year-old female diagnosis presented swellings at back her head. The were consistent totally...
<b><i>Purpose:</i></b> The magnetically controlled growing rod technique decreases complications, costs, and loss of functionality by avoiding successive surgical corrections every 6 months in patients with early-onset scoliosis. However, only a few studies have presented clinical experience the rod. In this study we aimed to present our single-center scoliosis who underwent follow-up for at least 2 years. <b><i>Materials Methods:</i></b> We...
Chiari malformation type I (CMI) is a brain that characterized by herniation of the cerebellum into spinal canal. highly heterogeneous; therefore, an accurate explanation pathogenesis disease often not possible. Although some studies showed role genetics in CMI, involvement genetic variations CMI has been thoroughly elucidated. Therefore, current study we aim to reveal CMI-associated genomic familial cases.Four patients and 7 unaffected healthy members two distinct families were analyzed. A...
AIm:The aim of this study was to evaluate effectiveness and safety epidural anesthesia in elective lumbar microdiscectomy surgery.mATErIAl mEThOds: Twenty-seven patients (78%, female), who were admitted for single level simple surgery between May 2012 December 2013 spine center a university hospital, enrolled into the study.Clinical evaluations with demographical per-operative data collected prospectively.rEsulTs: Mean age 60.04 years.Mean weight, height, BMI population 77.7 kg, 160.22 cm,...
Cadaveric studies have a great impact on neuroanatomy learning. Cadaver preparation may take lot of effort, especially at the phase intravascular color filling. The authors describe their silicone dye technique and novel mixture which is self-curing, quick to prepare easy inject.The first one these processes undoubtedly embalming decapitation cadaver. If possible, most appropriate time that should be preferred immediately after donor's death. Preparation for cadaveric dissection brain...
Ganglioneuroma (GN) is a benign rare tumor that originates from neural crest cells. It shares common histogenic family with ganglioneuroblastoma and neuroblastoma represents the most differentiated form of group. The locations GNs are mediastinum retroperitoneum. We report an extremely case lumbar spinal GN conus medullaris invasion extradural paraspinal extension. A 10-year-old girl presented history worsening lower-back pain intermittent tingling sensation in left leg. Neurological...
National and international society meetings are suitable mediums at which diverse research topics from basic, clinical translational sciences can be presented to an audience of peers. In this study, our purpose was evaluate publication rates presentations in the last recent four years" annual scientific Turkish Neurosurgical Society (TNS).Abstracts both podium poster were retrieved congress booklets TNS. Study timeline included TNS 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014. Abstract titles author names...
Remote cerebellar hemorrhage after cranial and spinal surgeries is a well-documented entity, so far concomitant supra- infra-tentorial spine surgery has rarely been reported in the literature. A 57-year-old woman presented with intractable low back pain severely impaired mobility. One year ago, she underwent lumbar laminectomy fusion posterior instrumentation between L2 S1. She developed adjacent segment disease at upper level of instrumented vertebra. had revision bilateral transpedicular...
In this case-based review, the authors analyzed relevant literature with an illustrative patient of theirs about subdural hematoma secondary to dural tear at spinal surgery. Intracranial hypotension is a condition decreased cerebrospinal fluid volume and pressure. Even though intracranial temporary can be managed conservatively, it may progress result in collections, formations, “brain sagging or slumping” states, syringohydromyelia, encephalopathy, coma, even death. The present 81-year-old...
Pituitary adenoma is a common primary brain neoplasm. apoplexy (PA) rare complication of pituitary and occurs as the result sudden tumor growth following different comorbidities. The authors describe first case PA posterior lumbar fusion surgery performed while patient was prone. In patients with preexisting adenoma, thorough clinical laboratory investigations should be conducted using an interdisciplinary approach before any planned surgery. unknown cases kept in mind for differential...
Chiari type I malformation is a tonsillar herniation more than 3 mm from the level of foramen magnum, with or without concurrent syringomyelia. Different surgical treatments have been developed for syringomyelia secondary to Chiari's malformations: craniovertebral decompression plugging obex, syringo-subarachnoid, syringo-peritoneal, and theco-peritoneal shunt placement. Shunt placement procedures are useful neurologically symptomatic large-sized syrinx. In this paper, authors define first...
Glioblastoma is the most common and malignant type of gliomas. Cerebral hemispheres are usual locations for Isolated third ventricular presentation very rare glioblastomas. A new case isolated glioblastoma has been presented in this report. 36-year-old woman was admitted to outpatient clinic with headache, blurred vision confusion. head CT scan MRI had showed mass lesion obstructive hydrocephalus. Previous her admission our clinic, a ventriculo-peritoneal shunt inserted hydrocephalus...
