Abstract BACKGROUND: Spinal meningiomas are common spinal tumors, in most cases benign and with a good surgical prognosis. However, specific location, infiltration of cord, vascular encasement, or root involvement can bring less favorable OBJECTIVE: To correlate these data clinical/functional outcome. METHODS: Two hundred twenty-four consecutive patients treated from 1976 to 2013 our institution were analyzed; among these, 51 excluded for incomplete clinical follow-up. The remaining 173...
Background: Chronic Subdural Hematoma (CSDH) is a common condition in the elderly population. Recurrence rates after surgical evacuation range from 5 to 30%. Factors predicting recurrence remain debated and unclear. Objective: To identify factors associated with increased risk of recurrence. Methods: Cases CSDHs that underwent treatment between 2005 2018 Neurosurgery Units two major Italian hospitals were reviewed. Data extracted prospectively maintained database included demographics,...
The goal of glioma surgery is maximal tumor resection associated with minimal post-operative morbidity. Diffusion tensor imaging-tractography/fiber tracking (DTI-FT) a valuable white-matter (WM) visualization tool for diagnosis and surgical planning. Still, it assumes descriptive role since the main DTI metrics parameters showed several limitations in clinical use. New applications quantitative measurements were recently applied to describe WM architecture that surround area. brain adjacent...
Background: Glioblastomas (GBM) are generally burdened, to date, by a dismal prognosis, although long term survivors have relatively significant incidence. Our specific aim was determine the exact impact of many surgery-, patient- and tumor-related variables on survival parameters. Methods: The surgical, radiological clinical outcomes patients been retrospectively reviewed for present study. All operated in our institution classified according their overall (LTS) short (STS). A thorough...
Peritumoral brain edema (PBE) is common in intracranial meningiomas (IM) and can increase their morbidity. It not uncommon for a neurosurgeon to confront with large proportion of PBE independently from the site size contrast-enhancing lesion increased surgical risks. We performed retrospective review 216 surgically-treated patients suffering IM. recorded clinical, biological, radiological data based on rate tumor volume divided into group high Edema/Tumor ratio low ratio. investigated how...
Background: Different lateral and postero-lateral cranial approaches to the petroclival region mid-upper brain stem have been described so far, some of which require extensive osseous demolition possible damage neurovascular structures. Neuronavigational systems are now extensively available for preoperative planning intraoperative navigation assist surgeons in choosing optimally invasive approach each pathology. Herein, we describe a detailed navigation-augmented morphometric analysis bring...
Objectives The World Health Organization (WHO) grade I intracranial meningiomas (IMs) maintain a certain risk of recurrence (~10%) even if gross total resection is achieved. Most studies analyzing predictive factors benign meningioma focus on histological changes and related to radiologic-therapeutic follow-up. Few authors have speculated the role meningioma-related epilepsy developing recurrence. presence seizures their onset remained relatively understudied date in patients. Materials...
Chronic Subdural Hematoma (CSDH) is one of the most frequently encountered conditions in neurosurgical practice. The role timing CSDH surgery mild symptomatic patients remains uncertain. aim this study was to analyze prognostic surgical with CSDH. In multicenter retrospective study, diagnosed who underwent evacuation were enrolled. Marwalder Grading System (MGS) and GCS scores used for neurological evaluation. Patients presenting preoperative score ≥ 13 MGS ≤ 2 defined as "mild symptomatic"....
