INTRODUCTION: Shunt systems are central in managing adult hydrocephalus by regulating CSF and intracranial pressure (ICP). Traditional methods for adjusting shunt drainage relied on symptomatic assessments radiological interventions, leading to high resource utilisation radiation exposure. The advent of implantable telemetric ICP sensors (telesensors), offers non-invasive rapid monitoring, supporting clinical decision-making potentially reducing utilization. METHODS: This retrospective,...
There are many questions that remain unanswered regarding outcomes following cranioplasty including the timing of craniectomy as well material used.To establish and evaluate 30-d for all cranial reconstruction procedures in United Kingdom (UK) Ireland through a prospective multicenter cohort study.Patients undergoing insertion or revision between June 1, 2019 November 30, 25 neurosurgical units were included. Data collected include demographics, date indication, date, outcome.In total, 313...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Implantable telemetric intracranial pressure (ICP) sensors (telesensors) enable routine, noninvasive ICP feedback, aiding clinical decision-making and attribution of pressure-related symptoms in patients with cerebrospinal fluid shunt systems. Here, we aim to explore the impact these devices on service demand costs adult hydrocephalus. METHODS: We performed an observational propensity-matched control study, comparing who had MScio/Sensor Reservoir (Christoph...
Deep-seated brain tumours represent a unique neurosurgical challenge as they are often surrounded by eloquent structures. We describe minimally invasive technique using tubular retractors and intraoperative neurophysiology monitoring for open biopsy of deep-seated lesion the corticospinal tract. used preoperative functional mapping with diffusion tensor imaging tractography navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation to identify safe surgical corridor. also 5-Aminolevulinic Acid induced...

Abstract Objectives Analyse clinical characteristics and treatment provided to an adult population diagnosed with intracranial ependymomas between 2009–2018. Methods Single centre retrospective cohort study. Variables reviewed: demographics, extent of resection, adjuvant oncological molecular genetics. Results 17 patients were included (6 females, 11 males). Average age at presentation was 51.3 yrs (range 19-74yrs). 4 supratentorial (2 intraventricular, 1 temporal lobe frontal lobe) 13...
Abstract Objectives To study clinical features and treatment options between 2007–2018 in a population of diffuse low grade glioma (DLGG) patients (WHO Grade2). Methods Single centre retrospective cohort study. Variables reviewed: demographics, extent resection (biopsy – Bx, subtotal STR, gross total GTR), molecular genetics outcome. Results N=104.M=61 F=43, average age, 41.8 yrs. For their first surgery, 40.4% underwent 32.7% 26.9% GTR. 50.9% had second procedure due to progression (13.8%...
