Introduction: Africa has many untreated neurosurgical cases due to limited access safe, affordable, and timely care. In this study, we surveyed young African neurosurgeons trainees identify challenges training practice. Methods: residents were online by the Young Neurosurgeons Forum from April 25th November 30th, 2018. The survey link was distributed via social media platforms through professional society mailing lists. Univariate bivariate data analyses run a P -value < 0.05...
Rationale: Interventional neurovascular procedures are effective in lowering the burden of mortality and complications resulting from aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). Despite wide uptake interventional high-income countries, access to care low- middle-income countries remains limited, little is known about accessibility Africa. In this survey, we decided assess diagnostic tools treatment aSAH Methodology: A Google form e-survey was distributed African neurosurgery centers accepting...
Les méningiomes sont des tumeurs bénignes extra parenchymateuses développées aux dépens villosités arachnoïdiennes. Ils tirent leur gravité de localisation dans zones hyperfonctionnelles. Le but cette étude est d'évaluer la prise en charge intracrâniens depuis réhabilitation du service neurochirurgie 2007. auteurs rapportent une série rétrospective portant sur 50 patients admis et opérés d'un méningiome intracrânien d'octobre 2007 à Juin 2013 service.

Introduction: Craniocervical tumors are uncommon but represent a medical emergency for diagnosis and treatment. Their approaches require of course surgical expertise in addition to adapted technical platform. In light the limited resources available our practice, we consequently made decision share experience with treatment this pathology. Patients method: We performed retrospective analysis on eight observations patients treated neurosurgery department “Hôpital Principal de Dakar” between...
Dural arteriovenous fistulas represent approximately 10% of all intracranial vascular malformations, which 1 to 2% are located at the craniocervical junction. Their location junction is uncommon but potentially significant, given its proximity and relationship with vital anatomical structures in this region. The association a dural fistula venous aneurysm rare. In report, we present case 49-year-old patient no particular pathological history who was admitted for acute headaches. neurological...
The authors present the case of a 48-year-old man admitted for acute onset paraplegia in patient suffering from backaches 1 week. rapidly progressive motor disturbances had been evolving approximately 12 hours. entire spinal MRI showed an epidural mass at T4-T6 associated with extensive lesions spondylodiscitis and T7-T8 vertebral body loss height. A large six-level laminectomy was performed. tumoral etiology couldn’t be entirely excluded intraoperatively so that no fusion has done time....
Orbital meningocele is a rare congenital malformation characterized by herniation of the meninges into orbit through defect in orbital bones. Much less commonly, it occurs at site natural openings (e.g., optic foramen and sphenoidal fissure) or can be attributed to trauma.We report two patients with progressive proptosis found have meningoceles, respectively, traumatic lesions. The computed tomography scan one case documented bony defect, but other case, led mistaken diagnosis an arachnoid...
Background: Endoscopic third ventriculocisternostomy (ETV) is the most common neuroendoscopic technique in treatment of noncommunicating hydrocephalus. Since its introduction, ETV has been a safe alternative to ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VP shunt), which high complication rate with significant socio-economic consequences. The authors report results performed neurosurgical department FANN teaching hospital Dakar. Methods: This retrospective study presents 513 patients hydrocephalus various...
BACKGROUND: Neuropathic pain is resulting from injury to the nervous system.It considered peripheral when it result of a lesion system and can involve plexus, root or trunk. OBJECTIVE:The aim this study was establish efficacy combination pregabalin mecobalamin in medical management refractory neuropathic preoperative period, highlight its advantages. PATIENTS AND METHODS:This cross-sectional analytical with duration 12 months 30 September 2021 2022.Patients were divided into 2 groups;...
Archaeological sources reported traces of trepanation in ancient Egypt 3000 years ago, and Papyri that time already describedtechniques for the treatment head trauma (1). The history modern neurosurgery Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is recent, thereare two significant periods to be considered.The first period can called pre-independence period. This corresponded tothe 1950s, when most African nations were still colonized. During this period, neurosurgical care was delivered by surgeons...
Decompressive craniectomy is a surgical technique considered to be the last step in management of intracranial hypertension. The objective our study was evaluate results hypertension by decompressive craniectomy. This retrospective 24 cases performed over 9-year period (from January 2010 December 2019) at Fann Neurosurgery Clinic. mean age patients 33.82 years, there male predominance with sex ratio 2.42. most frequent indication severe cranioencephalic trauma 50%. cerebral computed...
Abstract Background Africa bears >15% of the global burden neurosurgical disease. Yet to date, still has lowest workforce density globally, and efforts fill this gap by 2030 need be multiplied. Although past decade seen an increase in neurosurgery residency programs continent, it is unclear how these are similar or viable. This study aims highlight current status training as well differences within departments, countries African regions. Methods A literature search using keywords...
