After microvascular decompression (MVD) for hemifacial spasm (HFS), a minority of patients realize little to no relief spasms. In some patients, the absence spasms results from incomplete or inadequate vascular compression facial nerve, and these represent excellent candidates repeat MVD. However, in other MVD is not appropriate because adequate resolution neurovascular compression, as determined by postoperative high-resolution MRI, was achieved with initial operation.To present cohort...
Meningiomas are the most common benign intracranial tumors. Gamma Knife® stereotactic radiosurgery (GKSRS) has become a preferred management for recurrent or residual meningiomas. This study focuses on relationship between tumor control and time interval resection of World Health Organization (WHO) grade 1 meningioma GKSRS.This single institution retrospective analysis reviewed our experience in 238 patients who underwent GKSRS after pathologically confirmed WHO resection. The median...
<h3>BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:</h3> Classic trigeminal neuralgia is a clinical syndrome of facial pain, most often attributable to vascular compression the proximal cisternal segment nerve and treatable with microvascular decompression nerve. Some patients, however, meet all criteria for classic yet do not respond decompression. Because reasons surgical failure are well understood, aim this study was determine if subset patients could be distinguished by measuring angle in sagittal plane as...
Background The lateral supraorbital approach (LSO) provides an optimal access corridor for various skull bases lesions, including olfactory groove meningiomas (OGMs). aim of this study is to describe the authors' experience with management large and giant OGMs utilizing LSO technical nuances procedure.Methods A retrospective review seven patients managed between 2013 2019 was performed. Radiographic clinical data were recorded analyzed.Results Seven underwent surgical resection via approach....
Abstract Background Botulinum toxin is an effective treatment for hemifacial spasm in elderly patients. However, some patients do not tolerate the side effects and frequency of botulinum treatments. Objectives The purpose this study was to evaluate characteristics outcomes a cohort referred by neurologists surgical decompression facial nerve following treatment. Methods In prospective study, logistic regression used detect potential predictors spasm‐freedom after that received ≤8 >8...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate a cohort elderly patients referred by neurologists for surgical decompression the facial nerve following botulinum toxin treatment.
Occipital condyle fractures (OCFs) have been reported in up to 4-16% of individuals suffering cervical spine trauma. The current management OCF relies on a rigid collar for 6 weeks or longer. Here, we calculated the rate acute and delayed surgical intervention (occipitocervical fusion) patients with isolated who were managed over 10-year period at single institution.This was retrospective analysis performed all admitted Level 1 Trauma Center between 2008 2018 suffered traumatic an external...
P118 Aims: To assess clinical outcomes using livers from controlled NHBD in the era of organ shortage with report on survival and complications largest single center experience up to 10 years follow-up. Methods: 61 liver transplants performed 60 patients between 1994-2004. Donors ranged 4-68 old (mean 38±16), arrest cross-clamp time 6±5 minutes. Organs were flushed Viaspan (45) or HTK (16) solutions aortic cannulation. During this period 32 discarded for documented anatomic histologic...
Evaluation of readmission rates as a proxy metric health-care quality in neurological surgery has grown to become prevalent area investigation the last several years. Significant attention been paid 30-day due financial incentive providers following enforcement penalties created by Affordable Care Act. However, relatively little patients readmitted within 7 days discharge large quaternary services. This study was conducted examine causes and unique characteristics 7-day from neurosurgical...
