BACKGROUND Cerebral cavernous malformations are low-flow vascular lesions and the most common of all pathologies encountered by neurosurgeons. The location these is critically important in determining symptomatology whether intervention indicated. Cavernous localized to brainstem often complex manage given density critical structures tracts found within brainstem. OBSERVATIONS Here, authors present case a 3-year-old male who presented with hemiparesis eventually developed hydrocephalus from...
BACKGROUND Spontaneous spinal subarachnoid hemorrhage is a rare pathological entity with variety of presentations depending on the underlying etiology, which often remains cryptogenic. The literature sparse regarding most efficacious treatment or management option, and there no consensus follow-up time modalities. Additionally, are very few reports that include operative videos, provided herein. OBSERVATIONS authors present case spontaneous without an etiology in patient progressive...
The Buffalo Concussion Treadmill Test (BCTT) is used to establish exercise tolerance for rehabilitation and identify injury subtypes youth athletes after mild traumatic brain (mTBI). Its utility in adult community members unknown.
OBJECTIVE Despite widespread use, there is limited evidence to support postsurgical rehabilitation enhance neurological recovery after surgery for degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM). Outcomes research DCM seldom accounts the effect of rehabilitation. The aim this study was quantify impact on outcomes DCM. METHODS This a retrospective analysis prospectively collected data from single center. enrolled 66 patients who underwent spinal In addition patient demographic, imaging, and surgical...
Expandable transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) cages could offer an alternative to anterior (ALIF). Bilateral cage insertion enhances endplate coverage, potentially improving stability and rates maximizing segmental lordosis. This study aims compare the biomechanical properties of bilateral expandable TLIF ALIF using finite element modeling.
Abstract Purpose Assessments of oculomotor, balance, and exercise function detect different responses to mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) in sport-related mTBI. These assessments are understudied the adult community mTBI population. We evaluated level 1 trauma center patients with non-sports related on oculomotor functioning (near point convergence [NPC] accommodation [NPA]), balance (Balance Error Scoring System [BESS]), tolerance (Buffalo Concussion Treadmill Test [BCTT]). Methods A...
Intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (iMRI) is a powerful tool used to verify maximal safe resection of gliomas. However, unsuspected new or incidental findings can present difficult clinical scenarios. Here we case large supratentorial glioma where new, bilateral cerebellar hemispheric enhancement was noted on iMRI. A 52-year-old male with intra-axial mass spanning the right temporal and parietal lobes underwent craniotomy for tumor utilizing Imaging displayed remote, enhancement. Upon...
Spinal arachnoid cysts are cerebrospinal fluid-filled sacs that frequently located within the thoracic spine and can lead to symptoms due direct compression of spinal cord. These lesions typically treated with laminectomy fenestration cyst, or without shunting. However, recurrence, treatment is often more complex sometimes requires re-exposure
BACKGROUND AND IMPORTANCE: The human motor homunculus is a well-known topographical map of the functional-anatomical relationships precentral gyrus. Within this homunculus, primary hand area considered one least plastic relationships. Only few cases in literature describe relocation functional representation away from classical anatomical location. These have been reported context children, gliomas, or arteriovenous malformations. CLINICAL PRESENTATION: Here, we unique case where lowest...
