OBJECTIVE Machine learning (ML) is an innovative method to analyze large and complex data sets. The aim of this study was evaluate the use ML identify predictors early postsurgical long-term outcomes in patients treated for Cushing disease (CD). METHODS All consecutive our center who underwent surgery CD through endoscopic endonasal approach were retrospectively reviewed. Study endpoints gross-tumor removal (GTR), remission, control disease. Several demographic, radiological, histological...
<title>Abstract</title> Background Tumors involving motor-eloquent brain regions pose a significant surgical challenge, as maximizing resection while preserving motor function requires delicate balance. Neuromodulation-induced cortical prehabilitation (NICP) has emerged potential strategy to promote functional reorganization prior surgery, potentially expanding the margins of safe resection. Objective This pilot study aimed investigate whether accelerated, low-frequency repetitive...
Background: The efficacy of single-session stereotactic radiosurgery (sSRS) for the treatment intracranial meningioma is widely recognized. However, sSRS not always feasible in cases large tumors and those lying close to critically radiation-sensitive structures. When surgery recommended, multi-session (mSRS) can be applied. Even so, best schedule mSRS are yet established. aim this study validate role skull base meningiomas. Methods: A retrospective analysis patients with meningiomas treated...
The endoscopic endonasal approach has been recently proposed for cranio-vertebral junction lesions. more common indication this sagittal extension of the route is represented by odontoidectomy irreducible ventral brainstem compression due to congenital or degenerative conditions. However, in an increasing number studies its adoption tumors involving cranio-cervical reported. aim study consider retrospectively our surgical series, focusing on advantages and limits approach.Each consecutive...
Adult polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) still represents a major cause of renal failure and intracranial aneurisms (IA) have higher prevalence in ADPKD than the general population. Current guidelines suggest performing brain MRI only subjects with positive familiar history IAs or subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). This is retrospective case-control analysis to evaluate usefulness MR screening program patients.We retrospectively analyzed all patients followed our outpatient clinic between 2016...
Glioblastoma with multiple localizations (mGBMs) can be defined as multifocal, where enhancing lesions present a connection visible on magnetic resonance imaging fluid-attenuated inversion recovery imaging, or multicentric, in the absence of clear dissemination pathway.To evaluate role extent resection (EOR) treatment mGBMs and its correlation overall survival (OS) progression free (PFS).One hundred patients were treated at our Institution between 2009 2019. Clinical, radiological, follow-up...
Spinal intradural hemorrhage is a rare event; the most common causes of spinal bleeding are traumas, medical therapy with anticoagulants and thrombolytics, vascular malformations, congenital defects coagulation. Rarely, cord tumors may cause hemorrhage. Herein, we report case patient acute quickly worsening lumbar pain: neurological examination revealed flaccid paraplegia caused by an lesion extending on right side from T1 to L2 vertebral level. Pathological hemorrhagic schwannoma. Acute...
