Awake craniotomy allows intraoperative cortical mapping to prevent injury the eloquent brain region and minimizes complications of general anaesthesia. The initial indications include epilepsy surgery excision diffuse glioma in region. There have been a remarkable development fields neurosurgery To emphasis role awake lesions other than glioma. Prospective review craniotomies by corresponding author over eighteen month's period. We obtained consent for as routine surgical procedure with on...
The SARS-COV-2 is a novel coronavirus which the etiological agent of COVID-19 infection. neurosurgical practice not exempted from impact pandemic. Awake craniotomy in positive patient pose significant risk for theatre staff but intubation surgery under general anesthesia also similar risk.Federal Teaching Hospital Ido Ekiti tertiary hospital suburban community Southwest Nigeria with 300-bed capacity. designated treatment centre.

The most common cause of cauda equina compression in the elderly is lumbar spinal stenosis. Epidural lipomatosis an additional known but rare readily diagnosed on MR studies. Notably, canal decompression and direct excision epidural fat effectively manage this combined pathology.A 70-year-old male presented with progressive truncal obesity associated refractory neurogenic claudication. magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed excessive extending from L4 to S2 resulting thecal sac compression;...
Medical management is the first line of care for patients with trigeminal neuralgia (TN), and carbamazepine drug choice used alone or in combination other drugs. Gamma knife radiosurgery (GKRS) has been an established option refractory TN based on its noninvasiveness robust safety profile. Our study aims to confirm assess efficacy GKRS TN.A retrospective review treated from 1997 March 2019 by senior author was carried out. Out 194 eligible patients, detailed clinical information not...
Schizencephaly is a very rare neurological disorder usually discovered during radiological evaluation of children and young adults with seizure disorders or neurodevelopmental anomalies. We present 66-year-old patient right-sided hemiatrophy paresis presenting an adult-onset disorder. Her was satisfactorily controlled single-therapy antiseizure drug. Congenital brain lesions should be part the differential diagnoses in patients epilepsy who have body asymmetry dated back to childhood.
Background: Medical education worldwide is more expensive compared to other university courses due the structure of training into two phases: basic medical sciences and clinical sciences, each with extensive syllabuses involves an array professionals in various specialties. The burden was largely borne by government Nigeria until recently when private sector forayed provision tertiary including education. Methods: study a cross-sectional survey study. All 94 final year students Afe Babalola...
Background: Cystic meningioma is a rare variety with similar histological profiles like the solid tumors. It has been documented in both supratentorial and infratentorial compartments presenting radiologically as large cyst mural nodule mimicking hemangioblastoma. Case Description: We managed middle-aged woman who presented recurrent seizures brain MRI revealed left frontal cystic parasagittal tumor nodule. She had awake craniotomy gross total excision. Histology confirmed meningothelial...
Abstract Congenital midline cervical cleft (CMCC) is an extremely rare anomaly of the neck that typically presents in neonatal period as a thin suprasternal vertical band erythematous skin with nipple‐like projection. We present management this uncommon and rarely described entity 9‐year‐old girl.
Benign fibroblastic proliferation located within the scrotum are uncommon. They also identified as fibrous pseudotumour and usually arise from paratesticular region. Their pathogenesis is unknown. These tumours difficult to diagnose pre-operatively resemble intra-scrotal malignancy.We managed a 26-year-old Nigerian man with five-year history of left sided hemiscrotal swelling. The mass was excised, histology showed benign proliferation.Most benign. Imaging studies that show separate testis,...
Background The spectrum of post-operative infections in neurosurgical practice includes scalp infection, bone flap osteomyelitis, meningitis and intracranial abscesses is associated with significant morbidity mortality. There a wide variation across centres the use perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis. aim this study was to determine whether intraoperative wound irrigation ceftriaxone provides additional prevention surgical site infection (SSI) patients already receiving drug...
Abstract Background Leiomyomas are benign smooth muscle tumours predominantly found in the uterus. Rarely, they may be located ovaries, scrotum, bladder, lungs, vascular structures and spermatic cord. Case presentation We managed a 39-year-old man who presented with year history of progressive right-sided hemiscrotal swelling. The right scrotal mass was excised, histology showed leiomyoma. Conclusion Scrotal leiomyoma is very rare challenging to diagnose pre-operatively as cause swelling,...

Background: Blood transfusion being a life-saving procedure plays vital role in the management of patients clinical practice. The challenges inadequate voluntary blood donors and poor storage facilities made availability sufficient safe difficult developing countries. All efforts should therefore be put place to ensure judicious use available by separating each unit donated into components giving individual patient only required component rather than whole blood. Aim: This study was...
Posterior circulation stroke occurs in the territory of vertebrobasilar arterial system. About 20–25% ischaemic strokes affect posterior brain structures. We present a patient with mimicking left pontomedullary stem lesion. Acute onset clinical symptoms relating to should be adequately investigated including angiography exclude hypoplastic vertebral artery so as prevent possible recurrence which may more challenging mortality high 80%.
