There are no specific studies about cranial nerve (CN) injury following mild head trauma (Glasgow Coma Scale Score 14-15) in the literature. The aim of this analysis was to document incidence CN after and correlate initial CT findings with final outcome 1 year injury.The authors studied 49 consecutive patients affected by minor lesions between January 2000 2006. Detailed clinical neurological examinations as well using brain bone windows were performed all patients. Based on distinguished 3...
In the present study, we aimed to test association between correct function of left ventral white matter pathways and semantic processing (dual stream models for language processing, Hickok & Poeppel, 2004), using a new set tasks during intraoperative electrical stimulation at level. Additionally, evaluated brain regions needed performance on different lesion-symptom analyses (voxel mapping track-wise lesion analysis) in sample 62 candidates awake surgery. We found that vicinity inferior...
Neural foundations underlying visual agnosia are poorly understood. The authors present the case of a patient who underwent awake surgery for right basal temporooccipital low-grade glioma in which direct electrostimulation was used both at cortical and subcortical level. Brain mapping over inferior longitudinal fascicle generated contralateral hemiagnosia. These original findings agreement with recent tractography data that have confirmed existence an occipitotemporal pathway connecting...
OBJECTIVE Subcortical electrical stimulation during brain surgery may allow localization of functionally crucial white matter fibers and thus tailoring the tumor resection according to its functional limits. The arcuate fasciculus (AF) is a bundle connecting frontal, temporal, parietal cortical areas that often disrupted by left lesions. It plays critical role in several cognitive functions related phonological processing, but current intraoperative monitoring methods do not yet mapping this...
OBJECTIVE Brain metastases are the most frequent intracranial malignant tumor in adults. Surgical intervention for eloquent areas remains controversial and challenging. Even when not infiltrating intra-parenchymal tumors, can be affected. Therefore, this study aimed to describe role of a functional guided approach resection brain central region. METHODS Thirty-three patients (19 men 14 women) with perirolandic who were treated at authors' institution reviewed. All participants underwent...
Lip volumization using hyaluronic acid (HA) is among the most popular aesthetic procedures due to role of lips in modern beauty standards. This study explored ultrasound characteristics HA deposits following injection either cannula or needle techniques. A multicenter, descriptive involving 27 patients from five centers Colombia, Spain, and Mexico was conducted. Ultrasound evaluations were performed pre- post-procedure assess anatomical changes, deposit morphology, vascular mapping with...
Object Maximal resection of symptomatic cavernous angioma (CA), including its surrounding gliosis if possible, has been recommended to minimize the risk seizures or (re)bleeding. However, despite recent neurosurgical advances, such extensive CA removal is still a challenge in eloquent areas. The authors report consecutive series patients who underwent awake surgery for within left dominant hemisphere which intraoperative cortical–subcortical electrical stimulation was used. Methods Nine...
Abstract BACKGROUND Intraoperative identification and preservation of the corticospinal tract is often necessary for glioma resection. OBJECTIVE To make a proposal intraoperative management with high-frequency monopolar stimulation technique monitoring tract. METHODS Ninety-two patients operated on assistance stimulation. Clinical neurophysiological data have been related motor status at 3 months to establish prognostic factors deterioration. RESULTS Twenty-one (22.8%) presented alterations...
Technical advances and the increasing role of interdisciplinary decision-making may warrant formal definitions expertise in surgical neuro-oncology.
OBJECT Little attention has been given to the functional challenges of insular approach resection gliomas, despite potential damage essential neural networks that underlie insula. The object this study is analyze subcortical anatomy region when infiltrated by and compare it with normal in nontumoral hemispheres. METHODS Ten postmortem human hemispheres were dissected, isolation inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus (IFOF) uncinate fasciculus. Probabilistic diffusion tensor imaging (DTI)...
OBJECTIVE Most knowledge regarding the anatomical organization of multilingualism is based on aphasiology and functional imaging studies. However, results have still to be validated by gold standard approach, namely electrical stimulation mapping (ESM) during awake neurosurgical procedures. In this ESM study authors describe language representation in a highly specific group 13 multilingual individuals, focusing how age acquisition may influence cortical language. METHODS Thirteen patients...
<h3>BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:</h3> Current protocols in patients with glioblastoma include performing an MR examination shortly after surgery and then 2–6 weeks ending concomitant chemoradiotherapy. The assessment of this first postradiotherapy is challenging because the pseudoprogression phenomenon may appear. aim study was to explore if before radiation therapy (preradiotherapy imaging) could improve radiologic glioblastoma. <h3>MATERIALS METHODS:</h3> A preradiotherapy imaging prospectively...
Becoming aware of one's own states is a fundamental aspect for self-monitoring, allowing us to adjust our beliefs the world changing context. Previous evidence points out key role anterior insular cortex (aIC) in evaluating consequences actions, especially whenever an error has occurred. In present study, we propose new multimodal protocol combining electrical stimulation mapping (ESM) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) explore aIC self-monitoring patients undergoing awake...
Papillary tumor of the pineal regionA 29-year-old woman presented with headache, vomiting, and progressive diplopia.MRI showed a cystic supratentorial obstructive hydrocephalus.The patient underwent endoscopic ventriculostomy for hydrocephalus treatment.Afterwards, microsurgical resection was performed (figure 1).Pathologic examination lesion papillary architecture 2).Tumors CNS demonstrating features are rare.The biologic behaviour, natural course, appropriate therapy these recently...
Brain tumours represent a burden for society, not only due to the risks they entail but also because of possibility losing relevant cognitive functions patient's life after their resection. In present study, we report how monitored chess performance through multimodal Electrical Stimulation Mapping (ESM) – functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) combined protocol. The ESM was performed under left parietal lobe tumour resection surgery on patient that expressed desire preserve his...
