There is evidence that regular exercise training has the potential to improve psychological well-being among cancer survivors. However, limited findings are available for individuals with high-grade glioma (HGG; WHO grade III and IV) after neurosurgery undergoing radiochemotherapy. Given this, endurance strengths were employed investigate their impact on symptoms of depression, feelings stress anxiety, fatigue, insomnia, physical fitness, compared an active control condition.A total 29...

Craniosynostosis is a type of skull deformity caused by premature ossification cranial sutures in children. Given its variability and anatomical complexity, three-dimensional visualization crucial for effective teaching understanding. We developed VR database with 3D models to depict these deformities evaluated impact on efficiency, motivation, memorability.

The minipterional (MPT) craniotomy is a workhorse approach for clipping of middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysms. Because it aims to reach the skull base, traction on temporal muscle required. As result, patients may suffer from transient postoperative discomfort. sylvian keyhole (SKA) represents an alternative MCA this study are describe operative technique SKA and discuss benefits disadvantages compared MPT craniotomy.In technical note, we report experience gained with SKA. This was...

OBJECTIVE The modern management of patients with Koos grade IV vestibular schwannomas (VSs) aims at functional preservation and long-term tumor control. Gross-total resection (GTR) leads to optimal control but frequently also results in permanent facial nerve (FN) palsy. Subtotal (STR) or near-total (NTR) followed by a wait-and-scan protocol second-line radiation therapy (RT) case progressive residuals yields excellent rates less morbidity. METHODS authors present the their prospective...

Background/Objectives: Detailed morphometric analysis of an aneurysm and the related vascular bifurcation are critical factors when determining rupture risk planning treatment for unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs). The standard visualization digital subtraction angiography (DSA) its 3D reconstruction on a 2D monitor provide precise measurements but subject to variability based rater. Visualization using virtual (VR) augmented reality platforms can overcome those limitations. It is,...

Objective The objective of this study was to develop and evaluate a low-cost 3D-printed simulator improve the ability neurosurgical residents handle coordinate endoscopes in performing technically demanding procedures such as neuroendoscopic removal ventricular tumors or endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV). Methods developed, printed in-house, evaluated trial involving neurosurgery who performed ETV intraventricular tumor resection tasks using it. Participants completed questionnaire that...

Abstract Purpose With the growing demand for shared decision-making and patient-centered care, optimal informed consent (IC) has gained relevance. Virtual reality (VR) seen significant technological advancements, its medical applications currently include surgical planning education. This pilot study investigates feasibility of VR-enhanced (VR-IC) in neurosurgery to improve preoperative IC patient satisfaction. Methods We included patients aged 18 75 years who were scheduled skull base...

BACKGROUND The etiologies of parkinsonism are diverse. A possible and rare cause hemiparkinsonism is mechanical compression the basal ganglia its connecting white matter tracts. authors present a case caused by lateral sphenoid wing meningioma, discuss underlying pathophysiology based on tractography, systematically review existing literature. OBSERVATIONS 59-year-old female was referred for left-sided tremor hand, accompanied cogwheel rigidity left arm. Symptomatology appeared 1 year...

The association between obesity and clinical as well radiological outcomes in patients suffering non-traumatic intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) remains unclear. paradox suggests a protective effect regarding in-hospital mortality. This study evaluates the impact of body mass index (BMI) on functional long-term outcome bleeding volume with ICH. A retrospective cohort including all consecutive spontaneous ICH treated at tertiary referral centre December 2017 June 2021, aged 80 years or younger...

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in young patients is rare and often associated with vascular malformations, drug abuse, or genetic conditions. Early diagnosis treatment are critical because of the potential risk rebleeding long-term consequences. This case report presents an unusual correlation between a prior traumatic incident manifestation atypical ICH 11 years later.A 37-year-old male presented retroorbital headaches, confusion, seizures. Imaging revealed left middle temporal gyrus,...
