The incidence of post-traumatic hydrocephalus (PTH) has been reported to be 0.7-51.4%, and we have frequently observed the development PTH in patients undergoing decompressive craniectomy (DC). For this reason performed a retrospective review consecutive series DC after traumatic brain injury (TBI). From January 2006 December 2009, 41 underwent closed head injury. Study outcomes focused specifically on DC. Variables described by other authors associated with were studied, including advanced...
It is generally believed that the outcome of traumatic brain injury not improved by decompressive craniectomy in patients older than 30-50 years. A literature search was performed to assess level evidence with respect effect age on these cases.References were identified PubMed searches journal articles published between 1995 and December 2008. The inclusion criteria as follows: 1) clinical series including adults; 2) focus a prognostic factor. Technical notes laboratory investigations...
Objective To investigate a novel dual-port endonasal and subtemporal endoscopic approach targeting midline lesions with lateral extension beyond the intracavernous carotid artery anteriorly Dorello canal posteriorly. Methods Ten approaches were performed on five cadaveric heads. All specimens underwent an from sella to middle clivus. The port was combined anterior or posterior extradural approach. placed directly above third of zygomatic arch, at its root. space explored using...
Background and purpose Epileptic seizures account for 24–40% of all clinical onsets in patients with brain arteriovenous malformations ( AVM s). Methods We retrospectively reviewed the angioarchitectural features s associated 168 admitted to our Department from 1997 2012. Patients were dichotomized according demographic characteristics, type treatment, bleeding occurrence, morphological topographic features. Clinical status at admission discharge was also recorded. The association each one...
Hemorrhagic contusions (HC) represent a common consequence of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and usually evolve during the first 12 h after trauma. The relationship between decompressive craniectomy (DC) evolution post-traumatic HC is still unclear. aim present study was to evaluate impact DC on evolution. Fifty-seven patients with evidence at least one admission CT scan were analyzed. Twenty-five (Group 1) underwent 32 medical therapy alone 2). Fisher's exact test used compare categorical...
<b>Objective</b> We propose a stepwise decompression of the optic nerve (ON) through supraorbital minicraniotomy and describe surgical anatomy ON as seen this approach. also discuss clinical applications <b>Methods</b> Supraorbital approaches were performed on 10 preserved cadaveric heads (20 sides). First, 3.5-cm skin incisions made along supraciliary arch from medial third orbit extended laterally. A 2 × 3-cm bone flap was fashioned extradural dissections completed. 180-degree unroofing...
Detection of multiple intracranial aneurysms (MIAs) in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is common and the optimal management additional unruptured (UIA) often a matter debate. We calculate incidence factors associated subsequent aSAHs from untreated single-center group aSAH MIAs.Charts MIAs admitted to our neurosurgery department for between January 2000 March 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Incidence rate calculated univariable multivariable analyses.Of aneurysms,...
Objective We propose a novel dual-port endonasal and pterional endoscopic approach targeting midline lesions of the anterior cranial fossa with lateral extension beyond optic nerve. Methods Ten approaches were performed on five cadaveric heads. All specimens underwent an transtuberculum/transplanum followed by placement port. The port was combined extradural keyhole craniectomy. placed at intersection sphenoparietal coronal sutures. space explored using two-dimensional three-dimensional...
Background: Treatment of intracranial aneurysms with flow diverters (FDs) showed promising results. However, a subset patients treated for posterior communicating artery (PComA) has variable occlusion rates. Especially the fetal type-associated PComA seemed to respond differently treatment. We analyze our series type FD. The literature on this subject is reviewed. Methods: Data from FD all at RadboudUMC Nijmegen were retrospectively analysed. Primary end-point was complete aneurysm six...
