Cranioplasty is the surgical intervention to repair cranial defects. The aim of cranioplasty not only a cosmetic issue; also, defects gives relief psychological drawbacks and increases social performances. Many different types materials were used throughout history cranioplasty. With evolving biomedical technology, new are available be by surgeons. Although many techniques had been described, there still no consensus about best material, ongoing researches on both biologic nonbiologic...
Background: A lumbar pedicular dynamic stabilization system (LPDSS) is an alternative to fusion for treatment of degenerative disc disease (DDD). In this study, clinical and radiological results one LPDSS ( Saphinaz, Medikon AS, Turkey ) were compared with rigid fixation after two-year follow-up. Methods: All patients had anteroposterior lateral standing x-rays the spine preoperatively at 3 months, 12 months 24 surgery. Lordosis spine, segmental lordosis ratio height intervertebral spaces...
Eagle syndrome is characterized by unilateral pain in the oropharynx, face, and earlobe, caused an elongated styloid process or ossification of stylohyoid ligament with associated compression glossopharyngeal nerve. The may be successfully treated surgical intervention that involves resection process. Although nerve decompression routinely considered a neurosurgical intervention, its treatment are not sufficiently examined literature.A review was performed cases Department Neurosurgery at...
Progression in intracranial lesion(s) caused by traumatic brain injuries may be determined a serial computerized tomography (CT) scan the early period, but its significance is still controversial. In this study, records of 98 head-injured patients whom 2 consecutive CT scans were performed within 48 hours injury analyzed, and predictors clinical progressive hemorrhagic (PHI) determined. From June 1, 1998 through July 13, 2002, cohort (65 male 33 female, mean age 34.8 years, median Glasgow...
A 23-year-old woman with the medical history of homocystinuria that had been diagnosed at age 14 has non-responsive to treatment. The patient presented symptoms dysphonia, dysarthria and severe dystonia neck left extremities. Blood urine biochemistry revealed high levels homocystine. Brain magnetic resonance imaging was normal no detectable pathologies. Medical treatment strategies were used repeated injections botulinum toxin administered, but showed significant improvement. then operated,...
A 30-year-old man with brainstem cavernoma experienced hemorrhage and was operated in 2008. Six months after the operation, patient presented new complaints of left arm tremor namely Holmes' tremor. Neurological examination also revealed left-sided internuclear ophthalmoplegia, mild paresis, increased deep tendon reflexes upper extremity, truncal ataxia, dysarthria. Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed a postoperative cavity gliosis at level superior inferior colliculus right tegmentum...
The goal of the present study was to determine concentrations E-selectin in both cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) evaluate correlation between clinical parameters levels. Both CSF samples obtained from 12 SAH 8 hydrocephalus (control group) without any other known central nervous system disease were assayed for by quantitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay results compared two groups. Mean levels soluble forms within first 3 days...
A 5-year-old child had a medical history of epilepsy and newly presented mental retardation with life-threatening dystonic storm.Neuroimagings showed bilateral calcification the pallidum.Several treatment modalities were performed, but symptoms no significant improvement.The patient was operated on in order to place deep brain stimulation (DBS) targeting globus pallidum internus (GPi).The dystonia remarkable improvement after surgery, 81% reduction severity 15 months.To our best knowledge,...
Based on past laboratory and anecdotal clinical experience, we hypothesized that prolonged cervical spinal cord stimulation (SCS) in the acute settings of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) would be both safe feasible, 2-week will reduce incidence cerebral arterial vasospasm. The goal our study was to establish feasibility safety SCS a small group selected aSAH patients. Single-arm non-randomized prospective cSCS patients involved percutaneous implantation 8-contact electrode 12...
Minimally invasive surgery is currently a goal for surgical intervention in the spine. The effectiveness of endoscopic thoracic spine and technological improvements are two factors that always under consideration practice spinal surgery.We present twenty-five patients whose thoracoscopic surgeries were performed between 2002 2008 treatment various diseases. Eleven with disc herniation, five traumatic compressive fracture, six metastatic tumors three tubercular spondylitis underwent surgery....
Bioglue is an organic surgical adhesive, which use has already been well established in cardiothoracic surgery for aortic and bronchopulmonary fistula surgery. It also used neurosurgical procedures to minimize the risk of cerebrospinal fluid leak. In this report, authors present acute mass formation Bioglue, was applied after spinal leakage, reported first time. A 56-year-old woman operated L5-S1 disc herniation. Owing intraoperative dural tear, necessary repair reinforced with Bioglue....
