Abstract Background and Study Aims Cortical mapping (CM) with direct cortical stimulation (DCS) in awake craniotomy is used to preserve cognitive functions such as language. Nevertheless, patient collaboration during this procedure influenced by previous neurological symptoms growing discomfort DCS duration. Our study aimed evaluate the impact of navigated task-specific functional magnetic resonance imaging (nfMRI) on practical aspects DCS. Material Methods We recruited glioma patients...
We report a case of disseminated tuberculosis with cardiac tamponade in 26-year-old man from northern Portugal. He was imprisoned for one year before the diagnosis and had no known immunosuppressing conditions. A high level suspicion detailed review risk factors exposure history (e.g., this case, imprisonment is factor tuberculosis) necessary when pursuing extrapulmonary treatment should be started as soon possible life-threatening manifestations occur. used 12-month course antituberculosis...
Task specific networks in the human brain can be complex and variable inter-individually. New tools such as connectivity analysis were prompt useful for network evaluation patients without structural disease. However, these lack clinical understanding correlation. We aimed to analyze task measures pre-surgical planning with low grade gliomas evaluate their changes after tumor regrowth. recruited three submitted awake craniotomy resection direct cortical stimulation (DCS) guided by a...
Introduction: Despite the highly aggressive behaviour of thymic carcinomas, extra-thoracic metastasis and specifically spinal are very rare sparsely reported. For that reason, survival natural course disease not yet clearly elucidated. Materials Methods: We report on one patient with from carcinoma who had surgical removal performed in our institute, following progressive weakness both legs associated flank lower back pain. The a paravertebral anterior intracanalar epidural mass compressing...
Introduction: Extraventricular neurocytomas are rare brain tumors with a reported worldwide incidence of only 0.13%. They originate from neuroepithelial tissue and may present throughout the central nervous system. affect mostly young adults, have favorable prognosis. Due to their rarity, they not well characterized most features derived case reports. tend be circumscribed, contrast-enhancing heterogeneously solid, often partly or mainly cystic. share histological more common but complex,...
