<i>Background:</i> An important aspect of evaluating patients submitted to stereotactic biopsy the brainstem is trajectory used. The literature describes two principal approaches: suboccipital transcerebellar and transfrontal; however, no studies exist comparing these techniques. <i>Objective:</i> purpose this study was compare diagnosis success rates complications between transfrontal trajectories. <i>Methods:</i> evaluated 142 biopsy. presented tumors in...
Object The aim of this study was to compare MR imaging characteristics with histopathological findings intrinsic brainstem lesions and also show the prognostic factors in patients diffuse glioma. Methods Between February 1988 August 2007, 44 biopsies were performed at Roger Salengro Hospital Lille, France, children not amenable excision. Twenty-six female 18 male, mean age 6 years. Results Histological evaluation revealed glioma all nonenhancing lesions. Diffuse found (90%) enhancing...
Brainstem gliomas were regarded as a single entity prior to the advent of MRI; however, several studies investigating MRI have recognized that these lesions are heterogeneous group, and certain subgroups better prognosis for long-term survival. The aim this study was conduct retrospective analysis prognostic factors patients with brainstem confirmed by histopathological diagnosis, particularly regarding assessment whether histological grade, age, findings patient survival.The evaluated 100...
Stereotactic radiosurgery is an increasingly used, and the least invasive, surgical option for patients with trigeminal neuralgia (TN). In this study, authors performed a retrospective evaluation of safety efficacy method idiopathic TN.The reviewed data from 76 TN who underwent Gamma Knife surgery (GKS). The mean age was 64 years (range 27-83 years). All had typical features TN. Thirty (39.5%) previously undergone surgery. intervention consisted GKS on retrogasserian cisternal portion fifth...
Management of brainstem mass lesions remains a controversial issue, especially when the lesion cannot be excised and infiltration occurs; moreover, benefits stereotactic procedure are still under debate. In most studies, treatment decisions based solely on MRI features do not include histopathological diagnosis. current study, we compared characteristics with findings intrinsic identified associated diagnosis pathologies other than diffuse glioma. From February 1988 through August 2007, 96...
OBJECTIVE: Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage puts patients at high risk for the development of pituitary insufficiency.We evaluated incidence dysfunction in these and its correlation with clinical outcome.METHODS: Pituitary function was tested 66 consecutive first 15 days after aneurysmal hemorrhage.The following were measured all patients: thyroid-stimulating hormone, free thyroxine, triiodothyronine, luteinizing follicle-stimulating total testosterone (in males), estradiol females),...
Sentinel headache (SH) is a kind of secondary and characterized as sudden, intense, persistent, preceding spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) by days or weeks.Eighty-nine consecutive patients with diagnosis SAH were evaluated following admission to the Neurosurgical Service at Santa Casa Hospital, Belo Horizonte, between December 2009 2010.Out 89 patients, 64 (71.9%) women. Mean age was 48.9 years (SD ± 13.4, ranging from 18 85 years). Twenty-four (27.0%) presented SH, which occurred,...
BACKGROUND: Aneurysms of the posterior communicating segment carotid artery (PcomA) have a high risk rupture; when these nonruptured aneurysms are associated with oculomotor nerve palsy (ONP), rupture increases compared asymptomatic PcomA. OBJECTIVE: To retrospectively analyze factors involved in ONP secondary to PcomA aneurysm and study recovery time once it is established. METHODS: This was retrospective patients from 10 neurosurgery centers October 2008 December 2020. We analyzed age at...
Pial arteriovenous fistula (PAVF) is a rare vascular condition comprising of one or more arterial vessels that are in direct communication with the draining veins. The also characterized by absence nidus. Due to high blood flows, varicose systems adjacent appear. key characteristic transition it offers treatment option which interruption flow can occur without removing entire lesion. This study presents two cases PAVF.The first case 59-year-old male lesions frontal region, fed branch right...
Augmented reality (AR) is a technological tool that superimposes two-dimensional virtual images onto three-dimensional real-world scenarios through the integration of neuronavigation and surgical microscope. The aim this study was to demonstrate our initial experience with AR assess its application in oncological neurosurgery. This case series 31 patients who underwent surgery at Santa Casa BH for treatment intracranial tumors period from March 4, 2022, July 14, 2023. evaluated each three...
The craniotomy performed with minimal hair removal and closure intradermal suture alone is an option in neurosurgical procedures, which can help faster psychological recovery of the patient, as it allows a better cosmetic result. This study aimed at evaluating if such method safe effective, compared continuous skin sutures 2-0 nylon.We analyzed 117 patients undergoing craniotomies for cerebral aneurysm clipping. In case group (n = 49), scalp was only absorbable using wire Monocryl(®) 2-0....
