Abstract Chronic occlusion of the superior sagittal sinus (SSS) by tumors in midsagittal region causes collateral venous pathway (CVP). Understanding common patterns CVP is helpful reducing surgical complications. This study aimed to investigate found patients with SSS-invading tumors, and provide information on prevention operative From January 2015 December 2022, this retrospective collected that invaded SSS underwent digital subtraction angiography intracranial vessels. Data included sex,...

Abstract Treatment of neuropathic pain in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) and cauda equina (CEI) remains challenging. Dorsal root entry zone lesioning (DREZL) or DREZotomy is a viable surgical option for refractory cases. This study aimed to compare DREZL outcomes between SCI those CEI identify predictors postoperative relief. We retrospectively analyzed 12 (6 6 CEI) intractable who underwent DREZL. The data collected were demographic characteristics, distribution, assessed by numeric...

The occurrence of Ewing sarcoma-peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor as a primary intracranial is very rare, with only 29 cases reported in the literature, 19 which have included molecular studies. We present clinical, radiologic and pathologic findings an sarcoma 22-year-old woman arising from dura over right frontal convexity. patient underwent craniotomy gross total excision tumor. showed atypical histology diagnosis was confirmed by detection rearrangement EWSR1 gene fluorescent...

<b><i>Background:</i></b> The authors frequently employed selective peripheral neurotomy (SPN) as the primary treatment of severe intractable focal and multifocal spastic hypertonia. We occasionally operated SPN in diffuse disorders. <b><i>Objective:</i></b> To study surgical outcome terms severity spasticity functional condition. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Patients harboring refractory harmful various origins were enrolled...

The middle clinoid process (MCP), particularly caroticoclinoid ring (CCR) type of the MCP, is an important part sphenoid bone for skull base surgery. Previous studies have shown a wide range MCP prevalence affected by various factors. However, no study has investigated association between and presence sellar lesions.

The authors used selective peripheral neurotomy (SPN) on the sciatic and obturator nerves to restore sitting posture ambulation in bedridden patients suffering from severe proximal lower limb spasticity.To study surgical outcome of neurotomies.All with refractory hamstring spasticity who encountered SPN nerve were recruited. Obturator was undertaken some individuals. clinical assessment included modified Ashworth scale (MAS), passive range motion (PROM), competency ambulatory condition....

Abstract Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) offers an alternative treatment for refractory pain resulting from various etiologies. Generally, SCS electrodes are inserted in anterograde fashion, moving caudal to rostral direction. However, there instances where placement is unfeasible due technical limitations. We present the use of retrograde surgical electrode a patient with extensive epidural fibrosis at site intended insertion. A 48-year-old female suffering neuropathic caused injuries conus...

Abstract Hydrocephalus following brain tumor surgery is found, although cause of hydrocephalus optimally eradicated. This study aimed to investigate factors associated with development postoperative that requires shunt procedure and generate predictive scoring model this condition. Demographic, clinical, radiographic, treatment, laboratory, complication, data were collected. Binary logistic regression was used final for generating system hydrocephalus. A total 179 patients undergoing...

<i>Background:</i> Harmful generalized spasticity is an obstacle in rehabilitation and caregiving. Neurosurgical intervention a therapeutic option for patients with severe who do not respond to nonoperative management. Currently, intrathecal baclofen therapy (ITB) good alternative treatment such patients. However, the ITB device costly drug available Thailand. <i>Case Description:</i> We report combined use of ablative neurosurgical procedures patient disabling...

In seizures with tonic posturing, differentiation of originating in SSMA from cortices other than and spreading to has not been previously attempted. Twenty-two patients were studied intractable focal epilepsy limb posturing as the most prominent semiology, who underwent resective surgery obtained favorable postoperative seizure outcomes. These 22 divided into an group (N = 12) extra-SSMA 10), according location resection. Resection area was located dorsolateral frontal or prefrontal four...

Introduction Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is a common neurosurgical condition. Recent studies showed efficacy of atorvastatin in reducing the requirement surgical treatment. This study aimed to evaluate and safety recurrence CSDH after burr hole surgery. Methods prospective included patients with who underwent Atorvastatin at 20 mg per day was administered all for 4 weeks postoperatively. The major outcome rate 8 following operation. Results Seventy-three completed 4-week course were...

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Surgical frailty is a condition in which patients are weak with varied recovery of various organ functions after surgery resulting unpleasant outcomes. Frailty studies have been conducted several populations limited knowledge on postoperative brain tumor patients. This study aimed to examine factors predicting craniotomy. METHODS: was cross-sectional predictive study. The sample included 85 who were 18 years or older and underwent craniotomy removal from 1 university...
