Abstract Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a procedure increasingly used to treat patients with central neuropathic pain, but its efficacy still under debate. Patients medically refractory chronic pain were included in 2 randomized phases (active/sham), separated by wash-out period of 8 weeks. Each phase consisted 4 consecutive rTMS sessions and final evaluation session, all from one another 3 High-frequency (20 Hz) was delivered over the primary motor cortex (M1)...

Abstract Background Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation ( rTMS ) appears as a useful tool to alleviate neuropathic pain but only few data are available for the long‐term benefit of this treatment. Methods Here we report effects sessions, considered possible therapy relief after failure different medications in patients with central (neuropathic) pain. We review here prospectively collected first forty treated follow: 20 Hz delivered over contralateral primary motor cortex (M1), each...

Abstract Introduction: The ability of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to deliver a field (MF) in deep brain targets is debated and poorly documented. Objective: To quantify the decay MF human brain. Methods: Magnetic was generated by single pulses TMS delivered at maximum intensity using flat or angulated coil. recorded 3D-magnetic probe. Decay measured air both coils head 10 postmortem heads with coil being positioned tangential scalp. interpreted as function distance...

OBJECTIVE Glossopharyngeal neuralgia (GPN) is a rare and disabling condition. Just as for trigeminal neuralgia, Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKRS) increasingly proposed therapeutic option GPN. The purpose of this study was to assess long-term safety efficacy GKRS indication. METHODS From 2007 2015, 9 patients (4 male 5 female) underwent total 10 procedures. All the presented with GPN that refractory all medical treatment, had long history pain. One patient previously undergone surgical...

Primary lung adenocarcinoma is classified according to predominant histopathologic architecture into lepidic, papillary, acinar, solid, and micropapillary subtypes. These subtypes are related overall survival in primary adenocarcinoma. The main goal of our work was evaluate the prognostic impact this classification on surgical resection brain metastases 97 patients with surgically resected from 2008 2017. Histopathologic subtype associated ( P =0.0085): 30.1±5.6 months for...

Selection criteria for offering patients motor cortex stimulation (MCS) refractory neuropathic pain are a critical topic of research. A single session repetitive transcranial magnetic (rTMS) has been advocated selecting MCS candidates, but it low negative predictive value. Here the authors investigated whether multiple rTMS sessions would more accurately predict efficacy.

Purpose: To depict the specific brain networks that are modulated by deep stimulation (DBS) of subthalamic nucleus (STN) in Parkinson's disease (PD), using diffusion tensor imaging-based fibre tractography (DTI-FT).Materials and methods: Nine patients who received bilateral STN-DBS for PD were included. Electrodes localized co-registering preoperative magnetic resonance imaging postoperative computed tomography. The volume tissue activated (VTA) was estimated as an isotropic, spherical...

Transpedicular or transisthmic screws for C2 instrumentation represent the gold standard; however, anatomy is not always compatible (hypoplastic pedicles, procidentia of vertebral artery). Laminar (LS) have been proposed as a rescue technique and recently, bicortical facet (FS). To date, biomechanical property FS remains unknown.To compare pull-out resistance (FS) vs laminar screws.Thirty-two human cadaveric vertebrae were screened by CT scan imaging dual x-ray absorptiometry before...

Background/Objectives: Surgical treatment of thoracic disc herniation (TDH) is risky and technically demanding due to its proximity the spinal cord high possibility TDH being calcified (up 40%), making resection even more complex. Calcified may be resected from an anterior via thoracotomy/thoracoscopy, lateral extra-cavitary, or a postero-lateral approach. Here, we present our experience in managing such pathology with original technique Methods: This technique, used successfully than 40...

Abstract Thoracic disc herniation is a rare and severe condition, whose treatment may have complications including dural tears. Although benign in most cases, tears induce iatrogenic transdural of the spinal cord. The video demonstrates diagnosis surgical Here, we report case cord after thorascopic thoracic (DH). A 28-yr-old male presented with several years left lower extremity weakness was found to T6-7 DH. He underwent DH resection through assisted mini-thoracotomy at another institution....
