There are insufficient data from Saudi Arabia regarding appendectomy outcomes and hospital length of stay. Further, there is a need to compare the stay patients literature. The purpose evaluate surgical for complicated appendicitis simple appendicitis.This single-center retrospective review who had undergone an between 2016 2018. were divided into 2 groups: versus appendicitis.Of 449 underwent appendectomy, 60 (13.4%) appendicitis. was significantly associated with increased age, pain...
Glioblastoma is the most aggressive and common primary brain tumor. Diagnosis based on imaging confirmed through a biopsy. Multimodal treatment, including gross total resection, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, typically required. We report case of 79-year-old woman, former smoker, who presented with headache generalized weakness was found to have multiple lesions. The patient diagnosed glioblastoma underwent partial resection. Multiple glioblastomas are rare presentation can be multicentric or...

Abstract Background Various complications of endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) have been described. One has to recognize these and learn how avoid them. Methods We performed a literature review regarding the reported ETV procedures discussed in correlated manner with surgical steps. Furthermore, we reviewed technical notes described by experienced neuroendoscopists, including indications, choice entry point trajectory, anatomic orientation, proper bleeding control tight closure, prevent...
This study is a retrospective cohort review carried out at single, private tertiary center. We included 190 female patients who underwent surgery for acute appendicitis between January 2016 and December 2018. Two groups of were analyzed based on the pregnancy. The main outcome measures complication rate risk abortion during or after surgery. Out patients, eight them pregnant (4.2%). group more significantly ultrasound investigation compared to nonpregnant group. Complicated present in two...
Posterior fossa tumors constitute the most common brain tumor in pediatrics with 25% development postresection. Cerebellar mutism can manifest as neurobehavioral abnormalities that occur within days to months after surgery but usually peak on third postoperative day. It be caused by discontinuation of dento-thalamo-cortical pathway vermian lesion, due edema, tumors, and hypoperfusion. We report a seven-year-old patient posterior lesion (pilocytic astrocytoma histopathology) learning...
MHC-I expression is a crucial factor in cancer immunity, and its regulations can impact tumor progression recurrence. The mechanism through which glioblastoma use to avoid immunosurveillance has been rarely investigated.A retrospective cohort of 35 patients with IDH-mutant WHO-Grade 4 astrocytoma IDH-wildtype were examined for using protein gene assays. association between IDH mutation, TP53 recurrence-free interval investigated.The average patients' age was 49.6 year. wildtype 13 tumors....

It typically requires medical attention, which frequently entails the placement ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) to lower intracranial pressure. We intend list few, documented examples neurological impairments resulting from installation VPS this systematic study.

Background: Quality of life (QoL) is the awareness individuals’ well-being in physical, personal, mental and social wellbeing needs to be addressed brain tumor patients. Methods: A retrospective study conducted 2017 a single academic center that included patients diagnosed with tumors 10 year period. The assessment QoL was done using European Organization for Research Treatment Cancer (EORTC), standardized model (QLQ-C30) assess several domains (Global Health, Physical function, Role...
Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from pulmonary (ALCAPA) is a rare congenital malformation in infants presenting with angina, dyspnea, and excessive perspiration invoked by crying feeding. The aim this study was to evaluate factors affecting morbidity use extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) assess quality life post-repair.

Pineal tumors are uncommon that affect <1% of adults, with 50% them being germinomas. A combination endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) and tumor biopsy is usually used. Cerebral vasospasm in association aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) has been extensively studied. However, at least according to the research, this not case intraventricular (IVH) cases. We present a two distinct findings: (1) an unexpected large IVH following removal external ventricular drain (EVD) patient who...

[b]BACKGROUND[/b] Neurofibromatosis (NF) is categorized into 3 diseases: neurofibromatosis type 1, 2, and schwannoma. NF2 associated with a mutation in gene 22q11.2. It present about 1/25 000 to 33 births, it passed an autosomal dominant fashion. Diagnosis made based on clinical radiological features. A few features have been characterized included the Manchester criteria. 2 patients diagnosed over 25 cervical lesions. We report case of intradural extramedullary lesion patient later 2....
Background: The incidence of drug resistant epilepsy (DRE) is around 30% patients with epilepsy. Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) offered to who are not candidates for resective surgery, however the results lesional cases has been explored previously Methods: study was a retrospective cohort that involved DRE implanted VNS at Epilepsy program Western University, Ontario. We classified our based on brain imaging (L) and nonlesional (NL) Results: median age 31.8 years, 70.69% were females. VNS-L...
Corticosteroid is commonly used before surgery to control cerebral oedema in brain tumours and frequently continued throughout treatment. Its long-term effect of on the recurrence WHO-Grade 4 astrocytoma remains controversial. The interaction between corticosteroid, SRC-1 gene cytotoxic T-cells has never been investigated.A retrospective cohort 36 patients with were examined for CD8 + T-cell expressions through IHC qRT-PCR. impact corticosteroid CD8+T-cells infiltration, expression, tumour...
