Abstract Restricted diffusion in brain abscess is assumed to be due a combination of inflammatory cells, necrotic debris, viscosity, and macromolecules present the pus. We performed diffusion‐weighted imaging (DWI) on 41 patients with proven abscesses (36 pyogenic five tuberculous), correlated apparent coefficient (ADC) from cavity viable cell density, extracellular‐protein content quantified On basis correlation between density ADC animal tumor models human tumors literature, we that...

Patellar sleeve fracture is a rare common in children between the age of 8 and 16 years but adults. We report case 22 year old male with inferior patellar following motorbike accident. The study presents twenty-two boy who sustained Sleeve fractures motor bike patient presented to ER pain swelling along abrasion. Diagnostic workup, including blood test imaging, confirmed diagnosis, revealing elevated inflammatory markers evidence on X-ray. was managed by Open reduction internal fixation...

The molecular and isotopic analysis of leaf wax biomarkers in sedimentary records is a widely used tool palaeoclimate palaeoenvironmental research. These biomarkers, particularly n-alkanes, are valued for their stability, water insolubility, resistance to microbial degradation, making them key indicators reconstructing ancient environmental conditions. Despite extensive research on n-alkanes lacustrine, fluvial, marine environments, application desert ecosystems remains limited [1]. This...

✓Craniovertebral junction (CVJ) anomalies continue to be challenging for neurosurgeons because of the complex anatomy this region. To date, microsurgical decompression via a transoral route is standard treatment anteriorly located compressive lesions cervicomedullary (CMJ). The results obtained by minimizing surgical trauma are fewer complications, shorter hospital stays, and reduced overall psychological burden. Endoscopic surgery becoming leading modality in minimally invasive...

Fourth ventricular neurocysticercosis (FVNCC) usually presents with obstructive hydrocephalus. Available treatment options are medical, external cerebrospinal fluid diversion, microsurgical, or endoscopic removal alone in combination. We present our experience of transaqueductal FVNCC by angiographic catheter third ventriculostomy a rigid endoscope.Ten patients (five male and five female patients; age range, 12-45 yr; mean, 23.2 years) hydrocephalus underwent along single sitting, through...

Background: Sebaceous carcinoma (SbCC) is a rare malignancy that often mimics benign conditions. Lymphatic involvement, large T3 tumors herald dismal survival for patients. We present our series of 13 cases locally advanced SbCC the eyelid treated at surgical oncology unit and describe clinical profile, patterns nodal spread recurrence pattern in this subset SbCC.Methods: A retrospective analysis case records was carried out patients presenting with orbital between January 1997 April 2010...

Dopamine (DA) plays many roles in the brain, especially movement, motivation, and reinforcement of behavior; however, its role regulating innate immunity is not clear. Here, we show that DA can induce DNA-based extracellular traps primary, adult, human microglia BV2 cell line. These are formed independent reactive oxygen species, actin polymerization, death. functional capture fluorescein (FITC)-tagged Escherichia coli even when species production or polymerization inhibited. We microglial...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The endoscopic endonasal transpterygoid approach (TPA), minimally invasive compared with the sublabial transmaxillary and transcranial approaches, still accounts for morbidity in benign lateral recess of sphenoid sinus (LRSS) pathologies. Others have suggested an alternative route to LRSS, contralateral medial transorbital (cMTO). However, no quantitative evidence exists support clinical application this approach. This cadaveric study, a controlled laboratory...

Abstract Background Primary central nervous system melanoma is an extremely rare entity and even rarer in children adolescents as compared to adults. It often difficult consider a diagnosis of intracranial pre-operatively without any clinical evidence neurocutaneous melanosis. Case presentation Herein, case primary the brain reported 17-year-old female who presented with headache, vomiting, focal neurological deficit form left-sided facial palsy limb weakness. A contrast-enhanced computed...

OBJECTIVE Accessing the petrous apex (PA) via an endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) is challenging due to its posterior and lateral anatomical relationship with paraclival carotid artery. Typically, EEA requires mobilization or compression of vessel use angled-lens endoscopes instruments. A sublabial contralateral transmaxillary (CTM) corridor has been used overcome these challenges. Still, it extensive osteo-meatal disruption drilling medial pterygoid process, which risks vidian nerve...

OBJECTIVE Different techniques of performing image-guided neurosurgery exist, namely, neuronavigation systems, intraoperative ultrasound, and MRI, each with its limitations. Except for other methods are expensive. Three-dimensional virtual reconstruction surgical simulation using 3D volume rendering (VR) is an economical excellent technique preoperative planning neurosurgery. In this article, the authors discuss several nuances VR that have not yet been described. METHODS The included 6...

This study was conducted to formulate location-wise radiologic diagnostic algorithms and assess their concordance with the final histopathological diagnosis so as evaluate utility in a rural setting where only basic facilities are available.A retrospective analysis of radiology (primarily MRI) histopathology report done. Based on most common incidence tumor location findings, were prepared.For supratentorial intraaxial parenchymal seen all high-grade astrocytomas, low- oligodendrogliomas,...

The instrumentation for endoscopic discectomy continues to evolve allow acceptable clinical outcomes and expanding applications. authors describe their experience in using a conical working tube equipped with guide angular entry of the telescope perform patients lumbar disc herniation.Fifty-one (38 men 13 women) herniated discs underwent surgery during past 2.5 years at authors' institutions. A was inserted over sequential coaxial dilators via muscle-splitting approach. Conventional...

Two adults, 31 and 20 years of age, developed supratentorial metastasis 3½ 11 months, respectively, after gross total removal their posterior fossa medulloblastoma. The first case spinal as well. Both had undergone craniospinal irradiation. Case 1 underwent laminectomy 2 craniotomy because presenting symptoms required so.

Abstract Background Drilling in neurosurgery is an integral part of surgical exposure, especially skull base approaches and craniovertebral junction (CVJ) surgeries. Most such drillings are done close proximity to the neurovascular structures surgeries cervical-medullary or facet/pedicle CVJ Reluctance drilling among young neurosurgeons due less hands-on experience during training also, early career, fear injury structures. Methods Five commonest bone removals for region that can be safely...
