OBJECTIVE Brainstem cavernous malformations (BSCMs) were once considered inoperable. Microsurgical resection now represents a valuable option for treating patients with hemorrhagic or symptomatic lesions. The aim of this study was to provide practical guide surgical planning by analyzing postoperative neurological and functional outcomes. METHODS early- long-term (National Institutes Health Stroke Scale [NIHSS] score) (modified Rankin [mRS] Glasgow Outcome [GOS] scores) outcomes 32 who...
Few data are available on the surgical results in patients with incidentally discovered nonfunctioning pituitary adenoma (NFPA). We investigated efficacy and safety of surgery NFPA.Retrospective analysis prospectively recorded outcomes.From 1990 to 2011, 804 consecutive undergoing for NFPA, 212 cases had an tumor (26.4%). Among them, 117 were asymptomatic, while 95 some visual and/or hormonal deficit. The main outcome study was evaluate frequency radical resection as judged first...
OBJECTIVE Inflammation and angiogenesis may play a role in the growth of sporadic neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2)–related vestibular schwannoma (VS). The similarities microvascular inflammatory microenvironment have not been investigated. authors sought to compare tumor (TME) NF2-related VSs using combined imaging tissue analysis approach. METHODS Diffusion MRI high-temporal-resolution dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) data sets were prospectively acquired 20 24 size-matched VSs. metrics (mean...
With the advent of immunotherapies, field cancer therapy has been revived with new hope, especially for cancers dismal prognoses, such as glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Currently, immunotherapies should potentiate host’s own antitumor immune response against cells, but it documented that they are effective only in small subsets patients. Therefore, accurate predictors urgently needed to identify who will benefit from immune-modulatory therapies. Brain tumors challenging terms treatments. The...
OBJECTIVE There are few reported series regarding volume-staged Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKRS) for the treatment of large, complex, cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). The object this study was to report results using patients affected by large and complex AVMs. METHODS Data from 20 with AVMs were prospectively included in authors' AVM database between 2004 2012. A staging strategy used when treating lesion volumes larger than 10 cm 3 . Hemorrhage seizures presenting clinical...
Abstract BACKGROUND Surgical approaches to the orbit are challenging and require combined multispecialist skills. Considering its increasing relevance in neurosurgical practice, keyhole surgery could be also applied this field. However, mastering a minimally invasive approach necessitates an extended learning curve. For reason, virtual reality (VR) can effectively used for planning training demanding surgical technique. OBJECTIVE To validate mini fronto-orbital (mFO) superomedial orbit,...
