Despite the rising percentage of women accessing medical profession over last few decades, surgical specialties are still largely male-dominated; in particular, a remarkable gender disparity is evident neurosurgery, where only 19% practitioners females. Although may be reluctant to choose challenging specialty like neurosurgery due concerns around how balance family and career, it must admitted that prejudices against female neurosurgeons have been deeply rooted for long, prompting many give...
OBJECT Although shunts have been the mainstay in treating hydrocephalus over past 5 decades, use of endoscopic techniques addressing this disorder children offers both neurosurgeon and patient a unique opportunity to avoid shunting its attendant complications. The combination third ventriculostomy (ETV) with choroid plexus cauterization (CPC) remains uncommon most centers despite potential promise. authors sought investigate efficacy combining ETV CPC (ETV+CPC) childhood Nigeria. Infection...
Neurocysticercosis is a rarely diagnosed but significant clinical problem from infestation with taenia solium. It occurs as result of ingestion infested pork and the mode transmission usually feco-oral. commonly associated non-specific neurologic manifestations expected intracranial space-occupying lesions its most common neurological presentation being seizures. However, diagnosis without seizure reported. We report recent experience in this regard outcome disease which was inadvertently...
Brain abscess in children is a neurosurgical emergency with potentially catastrophic outcome despite the advances made neuroimaging techniques and antibiotic therapy. Symptoms are nonspecific may vary child's age, location, size, numbers stage of abscess, primary source infection. Treatment usually broad-spectrum antibiotics combination surgical evacuation most cases or alone selected clear-cut indications. This study was to document clinical characteristics, etiological factors, spectrum...
Posterior communicating aneurysm (PCOM) commonly presents with ptosis of the eye. This is so also space occupying lesion compressing oculomotor nerve. It quite uncommon for a patient to have both lesions at same anatomical concurrently causing ptosis. If undiagnosed before surgical intervention, complications from such complex neurosurgical problem can be extremely devastating. We share our recent experience confusing clinical presentation and subsequent treatment sellar brain mass...
This study explored the outcome of children with patent anterior fontanelles who were treated trans-fontanelle ultrasound scan (TFUSS), which is more affordable and available than CT MRI in diagnosis childhood intracranial pathologies treatment subdural empyema, developing countries.Seventeen infants post-meningitic diagnosed using alone tapping over a 31-months period, studied.Eleven patients presented grades II III Bannister William grading for level consciousness empyema. Aspirate from 7...
Subdural empyema (SDE), a common neurosurgical emergency in the developing countries, accounts for 15%-20% of localised paediatric intracranial infections. In regions where modern diagnostic tools are scarce and inaccessible, detection SDE may be delayed with subsequent poor outcome. Percutaneous subdural aspiration patients open anterior fontanel only surgical option resource-poor world. This review focuses on management outcome, including neurological outcome these children. Clinical...
Myelomeningocele is associated with hydrocephalus in 35% to 90% of cases. Hydrocephalus usually treated insertion ventriculoperitoneal shunt; however, there growing evidence that endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) choroid plexus cauterization (CPC) an alternative.To compare the success rate and morbidity ETV CPC shunt (VPS) as primary treatment patients myelomeningocele.A prospective study from January 2016 February 2019, involving 46 myelomeningocele who developed after repair a...
The high cost and non-availability of standard ICP monitoring devices limit their use in low- middle-income countries like Nigeria. This study aims to demonstrate the an improvised intraventricular device as a feasible alternative.Are Monitoring effective resource-constrained settings?The was prospective single-institution investigation involving 54 adult patients that presented with severe TBI (GCS 3-8) within 72 h injury required operative intervention. All underwent craniotomy or primary...
Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Haemorrhage (aSAH) is a vascular injury with significantly high mortality, especially when poorly managed. This study seeks to outline the experiences in setting up neurovascular service Lagos, Nigeria.A series of 45 patients were operated after aSAH over period 10 years. Patients consecutively recruited following computed tomography angiography (CTA) diagnosis aSAH. Clinical data recorded on predesigned form obtaining informed consent; was classified using WFNS...
To identify aetiological causes of shoulder pain syndrome among patients attending a rheumatology clinic, and to highlight the therapeutic options.Retrospective study.A private clinic in Lagos, Nigeria fromJanuary 2002 December 2006.Forty female adult 26 male aged 24-79 years.Patient reported outcome terms relief increased mobility.Sixty six subjects were seen during study period. Females more commonly affected mostly middle aged. Adhesive capsulitis was most common condition while septic...
Abstract Ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) is the conventional method of managing hydrocephalus until recently that endoscopic third ventriculostomy becoming popular. The major disadvantage VPS fact it constitutes a foreign body and prone to complications such as mechanical blockage, infection, migration rarely protrusion. Shunt extrusion through vagina anus are rare but have been documented. We present case migrating external inguinal ring into scrotal sac in patient.
Abstract Background Endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) is becoming a popular option of treatment in carefully selected patients with hydrocephalus (Drake et al., Childs Nerv Syst 25:467-472, 2009). The success or possible outcome its application treating can be predicted by employing preoperative scoring system. An example such system the endoscopic score (ETVSS). It could form basis for decision-making and prognostication. This study aimed to evaluate ETVSS as predictive tool children...
Introduction: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is devastating to the victims, and an understanding of its prevalence, demography causes help reduce incidence outcome. Adequate knowledge such helps in developing preventive management protocols region. The study aims document presentation challenges TBI our centre. Methods: A cross-sectional design was conducted at Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Nigeria. Only adult (≥18 years) patients were recruited consecutively from emergency room...
Background: The enormous disease burden of patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains a huge source concern to the patient and caregivers. Computed tomography (CCT) scan is valuable investigative tool in which can be used predict outcome TBI. use total white blood cell as predictive parameter TBI still at primordial stage. This study aimed compare strength WBC count within 24 hours cranial computed scan.
 Methods: research was done over one-year period Lagos University Teaching...
