The prognosis of adult patients with tuberculous meningitis undergoing ventriculoperitoneal (VP) surgery is not well known. Prognostic models developed to predict the might help clinicians immensely.
Background: Growth hormone (GH) levels following oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) at 12 weeks or later after surgery have been accepted as the most reliable parameter for defining remission and/or cure in patients with acromegaly. However, role of random GH predicting immediate postoperative period using modern criteria is not known. This study was undertaken to evaluate first 5 days an early predictive tool long-term acromegaly transsphenoidal pituitary (TSS).Patients and Methods:...
Abstract Background Tentorium cerebelli divide cranial cavity into supratentorial and infratentorial compartment. Tentorial notch is a gap in tentorium located centrally anteriorly, related to upper brainstem, first six nerves, cerebrum, cerebellum. The aim of this study was analyze morphometric variation tentorial anatomy autopsy computed tomography (CT) head injury patients find out correlation between uncal herniation changes over brainstem surface case herniation. Materials Methods...
Summary The influence of the relative position on operating list pre‐operative anxiety was studied in 60 adult female ASA 1 patients undergoing major surgery. Thirty were placed first (group 1) and 30 given a time 4–5 h later 2). Each patient visited evening prior to surgery again morning Anxiety measured at each visit by objective criteria part State‐Trait Inventory questionnaire. pulse rate, systolic blood pressure questionnaire scores higher second than (p< 0.001) all patients. This...
Background: The mu opioid receptor (MOR) has previously been found to regulate ethanol-stimulated dopamine release under some, but not all, conditions. A difference in ethanol-evoked between male and female mixed background C57BL/6J-129SvEv mice led questions about its ubiquitous role these effects of ethanol. Using congenic C57BL/6J MOR knockout (KO) pretreated with an irreversible antagonist, we investigated the function this release. Methods: Microdialysis was used monitor ethanol...
Untreated cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea and otorrhea can lead to adverse complications like meningitis hence should not be overlooked. Acetazolamide reduces CSF production by 48%. The actual role of acetazolamide in the amelioration traumatic is clear as, till date, very few formal studies have been conducted. Aim study was determine otorrhea.
We received so many biographies of women neurosurgery leaders for this issue that only a selection could be condensed here. In all them, the essence leader shines through. Many are included as “first” their country or color other achievement. All them outstanding—in clinical, academic, and organized neurosurgery. Two defining features tenacity service. When faced with shocking discrimination, numbing indifference, they ignored it fought valiantly. choosing life’s work, chose service, often...
Abstract Indocyanine green (ICG) angiography is widely used in cerebrovascular neurosurgery. We would like to report a case of intraoperative anaphylaxis ICG during aneurysmal clipping and view from the neurosurgeons’ perspective such an event.
<br>Abdominal complications after ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt surgery for hydrocephalus have been known to occur. The more common include peritoneal pseudocyst, obstruction of the lower end, and infection. Perforations intra-abdominal hollow viscera leading spontaneous extrusions catheter via natural orifices also reported. A rarer phenomenon still is migration end VP through anterior abdominal wall, formation a umbilical fistula at site unrelated surgical site. Eight cases described in...
Background: Microsurgical resection has been considered the gold standard treatment of craniopharyngioma, but lately, it found less favor due to its morbidity and is being replaced by minimally invasive cyst drainage procedures. We present our experience transventricular endoscopy along with technique have analyzed results. Materials Methods: Clinical radiological data all cystic craniopharyngioma patients treated endoscopic Ommaya placement were retrieved Results: Thirty-two underwent...
Abstract Introduction Traumatic cervical spine injuries (CSIs) have an incidence of 1.7 to 8% among traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients and should be a pivotal part its neurological examination. Prognosis insult in TBI depends on several epidemiological clinical factors which need considered during the management these injuries. This study aims analyze outcomes with CSI associated predictors. Materials Methods A prospective observational was conducted 63 admitted at tertiary care center...
Abstract Background Trauma is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in elderly patients its management challenging. Outcome assessment these difficult because preexisting chronic medical conditions as it may be impossible to isolate the effect traumatic brain injury. This study aimed examine clinical outcomes epidemiological clinicoradiological characteristics geriatric injury at tertiary care center. Methods The records aged ≥60 years with head injuries treated King George's Medical...
Background: Meningioma is the most common primary intracranial tumor. This single-center study aimed to analyze clinicopathological, radiological profile, and outcomes of patients with meningiomas in terms functional status, morbidity, mortality, recurrence-free survival (RFS). Methods: Patients meningioma treated between January 01, 2010, December 31, 2019, at Department Neurosurgery, King George’s Medical University, India, were included this study. Retrospective data analysis 172 was...
Abstract Objective Four quadrant osteoplastic decompressive craniotomy (FoQOsD) has been described as a novel technique in the management of patients with traumatic brain injury requiring surgery. There not randomized controlled trial comparing its outcomes conventional craniectomy (DECRA) yet. Methods A 55 was conducted, whom 29 underwent DECRA and 26 FoQOsD. The preoperative baseline demographics, clinical conditions, radiologic features were similar both groups. Clinical outcome decided...
Abstract This study reports a rare case of cryptococcoma the brain and review related literature. An intracranial lesion, in healthy, middle-aged adult who underwent surgery with preoperative diagnosis neoplastic/metastatic which turned out to be cryptococcoma, is being reported. Histopathological examination revealed that this immunocompetent patient had cerebellum. He responded antifungal chemotherapy (amphotericin B initially for 2 weeks later oral fluconazole 10 weeks) very well....
