From October 2001 to the end of November 2002 in Department Neurosurgery, Silesian University School Medicine Katowice 70 explorations sella turcica were executed using endoscopic method. In 63 cases operation was done because pituitary gland adenomas. one case diagnosis craniopharyngioma, 1 chordoma clivus, glioma optic nerve, reason for an empty syndrome and 3 pathological amorphous masses. Patients operated 4-mm diameter endoscope with 0- 30-degree angled lenses, method according Jho...
The aim of the study has been assessment endoscopic method in surgical management recurrent and residual pituitary adenomas, as concerns treatment efficiency, substantial complications, its possible advantages for operating surgeon patient.In Department Neurosurgery, Silesian University School Medicine Katowice, between October 2001 June 2004, 125 patients underwent surgery due to adenoma. analysis comprised 20 patients, who were operated on adenomas or tumour not completely removed during...
Background and Objectives: As brain lesions present complex diagnostic challenges, accurate tissue sampling via biopsy is critical for effective treatment planning. Traditional frame-based stereotactic has been complemented by navigated techniques, leveraging advancements in imaging navigation technology. This study aims to compare the methods a clinical setting, evaluating their efficacy, safety, outcomes determine optimal approach precise lesion targeting. Materials Methods: retrospective...
The mechanism of pathogenesis adenomas pituitary is still unknown; differences between cells different origin are observed. Identification genes specific to should give better understanding in their response therapy, especially radiotherapy. aim our study was independently validate the expression FOLR1, BAG1, LAPTM4B functioning (FA) and non-functioning (NFA) reported by microarray-based studies.Analysis gene performed real-time quantitative PCR (QPCR) 76 adenomas, 25 51 ones. examined...
We investigated the putative benefits of simultaneous teleradiotherapy and anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) 125I monoclonal antibody (MAb) 425 radioimmunotherapy, when applied after neurosurgery in high-grade gliomas, over alone. In comparison to previous studies which have reported good results with this type we advanced adjuvant radioimmunotherapy step, that is, gave it during, not after, teleradiotherapy. The randomized prospective study examined two groups: postoperative (TRT...
Abstract Background. The treatment of large arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) or AVMs involving eloquent regions the brain remains a challenge. For inoperable lesions, observation, volume-staged radiosurgery hypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (HFSRT) are proposed. aim our study was to assess safety and efficiency HFSRT for located in areas brain. Materials methods. An analysis records 49 patients irradiated cerebral with mean dose 19.9 Gy (12-28 Gy) delivered 2-4 fractions planned...
The Chicago Chiari Outcome Scale (CCOS) serves as a standardized clinical outcome evaluation tool among patients with malformation type I (CM-I). While the reliability of this scale has been proven for pediatric patients, literature lacks CCOS validation when used solely in adults. Therefore, study aimed to determine validity an external cohort adult patients.The authors retrospectively analyzed medical records symptomatic CM-I who underwent posterior fossa decompression between 2010 and...
The mechanism of pathogenesis pituitary adenomas is still unknown, and it shows differences in cells different origin. aim our study was to analyse the gene expression profile hormones their precursor genes: PRL, GH, POMC, TSHb, LHb, FSHb, CGA by QPCR particular types adenomas, evaluate results context sample selection for microarray studies.Analysis performed 84 samples real-time quantitative PCR (QPCR).As expected, GH significantly higher somatotropinomas than prolactinomas (p < 0.05). For...
Thromboembolism is one of the most serious complications associated with coil embolization therapy.To identify predisposing factors for thromboembolic complications, as well to determine whether thromboembolism has an impact on clinical outcome.From February 2008 March 2015, 273 consecutive patients were treated at our institution via endovascular embolization. Patient medical records reviewed emphasis procedure description, potential risk and outcomes related thromboembolism. Thromboembolic...
We report our experience with endovascular treatment of these lesions, special consideration angiographic and clinical outcomes periprocedural complications.The analysis included results 19 patients 20 aneurysms. The aneurysm size ranged from 1.9 to 4.7 mm (mean 3.8, SD 0.7). Clinical examinations the use modified Rankin Score were evaluated initially postembolisation at a minimum follow-up six months.Initial post-treatment complete near-complete occlusion was achieved in (95%) cases...
Background and Objectives: Brain metastases (BMs) pose significant clinical challenges in systemic cancer patients. They often cause symptoms related to brain compression are typically managed with multimodal therapies, such as surgery, chemotherapy, whole radiotherapy (WBRT), stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). With modern oncology treatments prolonging survival, concerns about the neurocognitive side effects of BM growing. WBRT, though widely used for multiple BMs, has recognized toxicity....
WPROWADZENIE: W ostatnim czasie obserwuje się wzrost liczby opublikowanych artykułów dotyczących sztucznej inteligencji w dziedzinie medycyny, szczególnie obszarze neurochirurgii. Badania dotyczące integracji z praktyką neurochirurgiczną wskazują na postępującą zmianę kierunku szerszego wykorzystania narzędzi wspomaganych sztuczną inteligencją diagnostyce, analizie obrazu i podejmowaniu decyzji. MATERIAŁ I METODY: badaniu oceniono efektywność ChatGPT-3.5 ChatGPT-4 Państwowym Egzaminie...
An empty sella turcica is due to the presence of an arachnoid diverticulum with its fluid content in turcica, exerting pressure on pituitary gland. In most cases this condition has asymptomatic course, and discovered by accident. Some patients, however, develop syndrome headaches, mild dishormonose, dysopsia and, rarely, spontaneous rhinorrhoea. Surgical treatment consists filling sella, through transsphenoid route, tissues collected from patient or artificial material. The aim report...
