OBJECTIVE Foot drop is characterized by weakness in ankle dorsiflexion, primarily due to failure of activation dorsiflexor muscles secondary neural compromise. The aim this study was evaluate surgical outcomes for unilateral painful foot lumbar disc herniation, specifically excluding cases with cauda equina syndrome. METHODS This retrospective spanned 7 centers, focusing on adult patients who underwent discectomies from September 2011 2022 (Medical Research Council [MRC] grade ≤ 3). Clinical...
There are many questions that remain unanswered regarding outcomes following cranioplasty including the timing of craniectomy as well material used.To establish and evaluate 30-d for all cranial reconstruction procedures in United Kingdom (UK) Ireland through a prospective multicenter cohort study.Patients undergoing insertion or revision between June 1, 2019 November 30, 25 neurosurgical units were included. Data collected include demographics, date indication, date, outcome.In total, 313...
Abstract Supplementary motor area (SMA) syndrome is characterised by transient disturbance in volitional movement and speech production which classically occurs after injury to the medial premotor area. We present two cases of SMA following isolated surgical frontal aslant tract (FAT) with intact. The first case occurred resection a left operculum tumour. second transcortical approach ventricular neurocytoma. clinical picture fMRI activation patterns during recovery were typical for support...
A 42-year-old lady presented with acute aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage and developed difficulty recognising faces (prosopagnosia), inability to process visual information in busy environments (simultagnosia) read (alexia). She was subsequently found have superficial siderosis on MRI.
We report a 4-year-old male who presented with blocked ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt inserted post excision of WHO Grade 1 cerebellar pilocytic astrocytoma complicated post-operatively by pseudo meningocoele formation. Imaging revealed choroid plexus that had herniated along the tract. Subsequent MRI showed development cystic changes around The ectopic was still in continuity ventricular ependyma and producing CSF left parietal lobe.
AbstractWe present an illustrative case series in which high spatial resolution black blood (BB) MRI sequences were used as adjunct the acute management of intracranial aneurysms with diagnostic uncertainty regarding rupture status. Several dilemmas are discussed including surveillance previously treated ruptured aneurysms, identifying culprit lesion(s) amongst multiple and risk stratifying incidental unruptured aneurysms. We our experience supports evaluation this vessel wall imaging...
Objectives Recurrent lumbar spine surgery due to disc herniation is a contributor debilitating pain, disability, and carries high patient morbidity rate 1 We identified risk factors for recurrent post-surgical intervention. Design Retrospective Cohort Study. Subjects All adult revisions performed in the Neurosurgical Department at Ninewells Hospital. Methods The number of from 2013 2017 each was recorded two groups were identified. first group consisted patients who had one revision second...
A 73-year-old man presented with a three-week history of weakness and loss co-ordination the left-hand side grip. MRI brain revealed an enhancing lesion in right parietal lobe, adjacent to central sulcus, surrounding oedema small satellite motor cortex. Body CT FDGPET no obvious primary neoplasm. The patient underwent craniotomy resection lesion, subsequent histopathology confirmed metastatic carcinoma likely prostate cancer origin. was on 5-ARI (Finasteride) for lower urinary tract symptoms...
Abstract Background Surgical resection offers survival benefits in patients with diffuse low-grade glioma (DLGG) but its association functional outcomes is uncertain. This systematic review assessed associated extent of (EoR) adults DLGG. Methods We searched Medline, Embase and CENTRAL on the 19 th February 2021 for observational studies reporting after surgical aged ≥18 years a new diagnosis supratentorial DLGG according to any World Health Organization classification primary brain tumors....
