The aim of this study is to find the outcome repair and resection occipital encephalocele.
Objective This study was conducted to assess the outcome in patients with hydrocephalus who underwent ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt surgery. Methods retrospective at neurosurgery department of a tertiary care hospital. The time frame three years and five months from January 2017 May 2020 follow-up six months.

Traumatic intracerebral contusion is a frequent factor culminating in death and disability, its progression relates to unfavorable outcome. We evaluated the radiological factors associated with hemorrhagic of contusions (HPC).Two hundred forty-six patients were enrolled this prospective cohort over period 1 year. Contusion volume was quantified using "ABC/2" technique, whereas considered as >30% increase initial volume. Univariate multivariate statistics used examine correlation between risk...
To determine the risk factors, presentation and outcome of meningomyelocele repair.We reviewed 150 cases operated for (MMC) at Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre Karachi between May 2015 2018. Data infants MMC repair was extracted including socioeconomic status, maternal folate intake during pregnancy, head circumference, location width defect, accompanying bladder limb anomalies treatments administered.

To determine the impact of helmet wearing on traumatic brain injury.We analyzed 400 cases injury (TBI) in motorbike riders with and without helmet, from July 2017 to December 2020 presenting neurosurgery department at Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Center (JPMC), Karachi, Pakistan. The medical records were for CT scan findings, length hospital stay, complications (mortality disability), Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) outcome score (GOS) time discharge.A total patients head due accidents included all...
Abstract Introduction Primary brain tumors are a common cause of morbidity and mortality in children young people (CYP) globally. Impaired neurocognitive function is potential severe consequence primary tumor (PBT) survivors. There no in-depth studies from low- middle-income countries (LMICs) to inform management follow-up. The research questions this study were as follows: Are the sociodemographic factors (lower age CYP, female gender, low socioeconomic status, parental education),...

Diffuse axonal injury (DAI) is a common presentation in neurotrauma. Prognosis variable but can be dependent on the initial of patient. In our study, we evaluated outcome diffuse injury.This study was conducted at tertiary care center from September 2018 to December 2019 and included 133 adult patients with moderate or severe head (GCS ≤ 12) diagnosed have DAI basis MRI.

visual problems and in temporal lobe lesions, patients often present with seizures.CP angle epidermoid lesions facial pain numbness.Epidermoid have an extremely slow linear growth rate (13), hence the duration of symptoms is prolonged late (5).Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) investigation choice diffusion weighted MRI plays important role to differentiate it from arachnoid cyst.Surgery best option treatment has good results, however, tumors are strongly adherent residual capsule remains...
Background: The olfactory groove meningioma has always been surgically challenging. common microscopic surgical procedures exercised involve modification of pterional or sub-frontal approaches with without orbital osteotomies. However, we believe that osteotomies are not mandatory to achieve gross total resection. Hence, this study was performed evaluate the outcomes bicoronal sub frontal approach but Materials and Methods: by reviewing medical charts, neuroimaging data, follow-up data 19...
