The retrosigmoid approach represents a crucial surgical route to address different lesions in the cerebellopontine angle but cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak still remains most frequent complication after this approach. Here, we analyzed impact of factors CSF development Identifying risk related specific may help surgeon tailor perioperative management and appropriately counsel patients regarding their profile.We retrospectively reviewed clinical, surgical, outcome data 103 consecutive (M/F,...
In critically ill patients continuous EEG (cEEG) is recommended in several conditions. Recently, a new wireless headset (CerebAir®,Nihon-Kohden) available. It has 8 electrodes, and its positioning seems to be easier than conventional systems. Aim of this study was evaluate the feasibility device for cEEG monitoring, if positioned by ICU physician.Neurological were divided two groups according with admission Neuro-ICU (Study-group:20 patients) or General-ICU (Control-group:20 patients). Study...
Abstract Background Posttraumatic hydrocephalus is a known complication after traumatic brain injury, particularly affecting patients undergoing decompressive craniectomy. monitoring in these represents common issue neurosurgical practice. Patients require periodical assessments by means of computed tomography (CT) scans. This study presents preliminary institutional series which ultrasound was used as bedside imaging technique to monitor ventricular size harboring polyetheretherketone...
Background: Microvascular decompression (MVD) through a retrosigmoid approach is considered the treatment of choice in cases hemifacial spasm (HFS) due to neurovascular conflict (NVC). Despite widespread neuronavigation and intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) techniques neurosurgery, their contemporary application MVD for HFS has been only anecdotally reported. Methods: Here, we report results performed with combination IONM, including lateral spread response (LSR) 20 patients. clinical...
A hyperlactemia may occur in the presence of tissue hypoperfusion, diseases affecting metabolism and cases malignant neoplasm. However, factors serum lactate levels patients submitted to craniotomy for resection an intracranial tumor have been investigated only marginally. Here, we assessed possibly tumors carried out a thorough literature review on this topic.All elective from January 2017 August 2018 glioblastoma (GBM; 101 cases) benign meningioma (WHO I; 105 were included study. The sex,...
Introduction An increase in cerebral blood flow is frequent after traumatic brain injury (TBI) and can lead to swelling refractory intracranial hypertension. We hypothesized that Transcranial EcoDoppler (TCD) monitoring could be useful detect the cause of hypertension these patients. Our main objective was investigate if velocity middle artery (MCA) on TCD associated with Methods retrospectively studied TBI patients consecutively monitored TCD. Hyperemia defined as MCA mean higher than 80...
A chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is an encapsulated collection of blood and fluid on the surface brain. It a common condition, especially in elderly patients, with incidence 58 cases per 100,000 people year patients over 65 years age, mortality rate about 2%, recurrence ranging from 11.7% to 28% despite surgical medical treatments. Due high CSDH, vast amount literature exists various aspects. Moreover, contained meta-analyses analyzing different techniques, therapies, factors associated...
Abstract Vestibular paroxysmia (VP) is a rare condition. The pathogenesis linked to neurovascular conflict (NVC) between an abnormal arterial loop and the VII/VIII cranial nerve complex in cerebello-pontine angle. Due its rarity, intraoperative findings are only anecdotally reported. Here we reported on case of VP, showing radiological images surgical video microvascular decompression (MVD). Further discussed our considering pertinent literature. We think that VP concordance side...
