The aim of this study was to assess various aspects visual function in children with single‐suture, non‐syndromic craniosynostosis. Thirty‐eight infants (28 males, 10 females; age range 3.5–13mo, mean 7mo, 11 plagiocephaly, 12 trigonocephaly, and 15 scaphocephaly), were assessed a battery tests specifically designed infancy. Thirty‐two the 38 had at least one abnormality on assessed. Abnormal eye movements found eight whole cohort mainly plagiocephaly (6/11), who also frequent field...
Intraoperative ultrasound (IOUS) may aid the resection of space-occupying brain lesions, though technical limits hinder its reliability.IOUS (MyLabTwice®, Esaote, Italy) with a microconvex probe was utilized in 45 consecutive cases children supratentorial lesions aiming to localize lesion (pre-IOUS) and evaluate extent (EOR, post-IOUS). Technical were carefully assessed, strategies enhance reliability real-time imaging accordingly proposed.Pre-IOUS allowed us accurately all (16 low-grade...

✓Spinal angiolipomas are rare, benign lesions representing 0.14 to 1.2% of all spinal axis tumors. They most commonly involve the midthoracic spine and located in posterior epidural space. Up now, six pediatric cases have been reported literature; two them involved an acute clinical onset that was related a venous infarction tumor. The authors report case 16-year-old boy with angiolipoma who admitted history paraparesis. In contrast previous descriptions, this spontaneous intratumoral abscess within
Abstract Background Laminotomy has been introduced in surgical practice to reduce complications of laminectomy after surgery tumors the spinal canal. However, posterior ligament complex, which is routinely interrupted remove laminoplasty segment and gain access canal, a tendency not heal can lead progressive kyphosis collapse. Case presentation A 5-month-old boy affected by thoracolumbar extradural tumor extending along seven levels was operated on. The exposed completely resected one-piece...
