BACKGROUND: Although numerous studies have focused on the efficacy of deep brain stimulation (DBS) for movement disorders, less is known about surgical adverse events, especially over longer time intervals. OBJECTIVE: Here, we analyze events in 510 consecutive cases from a tertiary disorders center at up to 10 years postoperatively. METHODS: We conducted retrospective review craniotomies between January 2003 and March 2013. The were categorized into 2 broad categories—immediate perioperative...
Postresection hydrocephalus is observed in approximately 30% of pediatric patients with posterior fossa tumors. However, which will develop postresection not known. The Canadian Preoperative Prediction Rule for Hydrocephalus (CPPRH) was developed an attempt to identify this subset patients, allowing the optimization their care. authors sought validate and critically appraise CPPRH.
Rathke cleft cysts (RCCs) are cystic epithelial lesions in the sellar and suprasellar regions that often discovered incidentally. They require surgical fenestration drainage a small proportion of patients who develop symptoms or demonstrate progressive enlargement. Our aim was to review our experience with pediatric treated surgically for RCCs.A retrospective conducted all RCCs at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles between 1999 2007 after approval by institutional board. Clinical notes,...
Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), as defined by Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score of 13 or higher, is a common problem in the United States and worldwide, estimated to affect more than 1 million patients yearly. When associated with intracranial hemorrhage, it reason for neurosurgical consultation transfer tertiary care centers. The authors set out investigate clinical implications subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and/or intraparenchymal (IPH) mTBI hopes standardization optimization resource...
OBJECTIVE Patients with cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) commonly present seizure. Seizure outcomes in patients treated stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) are poorly defined. A case series of AVMs SRS is presented to evaluate long-term seizure outcome. METHODS retrospective review the medical record was performed, identifying 204 consecutive between January 1991 and June 2012. Clinical radiographic data were evaluated. outcome measured using Engel Epilepsy Surgery Outcome Scale. Mean...
Deep brain stimulation is an effective treatment for movement disorders, but it relatively complex, invasive, and costly. Little known about whether mode alters pulse generator (battery) longevity in routine clinical care.To compare battery during monopolar versus bipolar patients who underwent deep disorders.We evaluated 2,902 programming adjustments calculated the average stimulator settings 393 batteries 200 unique with Parkinson's disease essential tremor. We classified generators into...
Cryptococcal infections are seen throughout the United States in both immunocompromised and immunocompetent patients. The most common form is C. neoformans . In Northwestern States, gattii has received considerable attention secondary to increased virulence resulting significant morbidity mortality. There no cases extant literature describing a patient with requiring neurosurgical intervention Alabama. A middle-aged male recent travel or identifiable exposure presented meningitis underwent...
This case report describes a patient with an anatomic variant of the foramen ovale that was encountered during attempted glycerol rhizolysis for trigeminal neuralgia. Various complications have been reported transcutaneous neuralgia treatment. We adult female on whom cannulation not possible. Subsequent imaging revealed causative elongation spine sphenoid distorted and effectively blocked it. Variations in bony anatomy may complicate approaches to treatment
INTRODUCTION: Post-resection hydrocephalus is observed in approximately 30% of pediatric patients with posterior fossa tumors. However, which will go on to develop post-resection not known. The Canadian Preoperative Prediction Rule for Hydrocephalus (CPPRH) was developed an attempt identify this subset allowing the optimization their care. We seek validate and critically appraise CPPRH. METHODS: authors conducted a retrospective chart review 99 consecutive presenting between 2002 2010 tumors...
