Cerebral toxoplasmosis is a relatively rare disorder that usually affects immunocompromised patients. The most common scenario occurs among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive In those patients, the frequent cause of expansive brain lesion and continues to elevated morbidity mortality. typical cases toxoplasmosis, both computed tomography magnetic resonance imaging reveal single/ multiple nodular or ring-enhancing lesions with surrounding edema. Nevertheless, cerebral atypical...
Introduction: The introduction of flexible fiber technology in the early 2000s revitalized interest CO2 laser for neurosurgical applications, making it suitable microsurgical procedures. Despite its widespread use, specific indications neurosurgery remains undefined. This study evaluates efficacy and limitations brain tumor surgery. Materials Methods: retrospective observational single-center analyzed use intracranial neoplasm surgeries from 2011 to 2021. A total 94 patients were assessed,...
Introduction: Several biomarkers are currently available to address targeted treatments in cancer patients, with lung malignancies representing one of the best examples. Case description: We report case a patient affected by advanced non-small cell an uncommon histology and complex biology. The use large next-generation sequencing (NGS) NGS panel allowed us identify extremely rare BRAF mutation (V600Q), MET amplification, high tumor mutational burden, germline pathogenetic BRCA1 homologous...
Abstract Introduction Multiple minicraniotomies (Mct) have been proposed as alternatives to standard pterional craniotomy (Pct) for intracranial aneurysm treatment. These approaches offer limited surgical corridors and distinct working angles, posing challenges in addressing all types with one method. We suggest a tailored Mct technique, comprising three minimally invasive targeting anterior circulation sites (middle cerebral artery, internal carotid communicating artery). Methods conducted...
Background: The presence of actionable alterations in advanced biliary tract cancer patients opened new therapeutic possibilities for second-line treatments. However, around 60% the patients, chemotherapy remains only option. aim our study was to evaluate outcomes and prognostic parameters with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas treated chemotherapy. Methods: A total 255 consecutive metastatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) were retrospectively reviewed clinicopathologic survival data collected....
Intradiploic meningiomas are rare neoplasms, often mistaken for metastases or malignant bone tumors. Surgical management can be challenging, considering their diffusive bony invasion. Two main critical decisions need to taken: the timing cranial vault reconstruction and choice of adequate material cranioplasty. We believe that this case underscores complexity such lesions, importance a prompt devascularization, pivotal role an immediate avoid additional morbidity re-do surgery. Here, we...
