Cavum septum pellucidum (CSP) and cavum vergae (CV) are normal anatomical variations present in some children, adolescents, adults. When the cavity is larger than normal, it called a cyst. Symptomatic cases of CSP CV cyst rare, clinical presentation varied. A case with multiple nerve involvement described.A healthy 17-year-old female presented sudden headache, right cervicobrachialgia, ptosis, visual changes, left facial paralysis over 10 days. Head magnetic resonance imaging revealed...
Background: Endolymphatic sac tumor (ELST) is a rare lesion. It may be sporadically or associated with Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome. Progressive audiovestibular symptoms characterize the typical clinical presentation. Here, we report unique case of ELST acute intracranial hypertension (IH) due to compression, successfully treated an urgent suboccipital decompressive craniectomy (SDC). Case Description: A 33-year-old woman previously underwent biopsy and ventriculoperitoneal shunt. The...
Ventricular tumors represent a major neurosurgical challenge, making endoscopic approach an invaluable tool as it gained importance due to technological advances. Nevertheless, the method is not exempt of risk and limitations, sometimes requiring open surgery. Thus, initial measurements must be adopted in order simplify eventual need for conversion craniotomy.Here, we describe series 6 patients with ventricular approached by neuroendoscopy where microsurgery turned out necessary. Patients'...
Microsurgery remains the gold standard treatment for intraventricular lesions, but it is not without limitations. The cerebral ventricles approach considered a challenge neurosurgeons because of their deep location and intimate association with critical areas brain. It has been shown that direct endoscopic view superior to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in identifying structures lesions. Also, during neuroendoscopy, there no cerebrospinal fluid leak causing brain collapse as seen...
Background: Temporal bone squamous cell carcinoma (TBSCC) is a very rare condition. The prognosis dismal for advanced tumors. Due to its rarity, information in the literature scarce. Here, we report unique case of TBSCC with cerebellar invasion and hydrocephalus. Case Description: A 46-year-old reported right-sided hearing loss painful right retroauricular mass 4 months. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed 8.7 × 7.6 6.4 cm invading temporal occipital bones. After biopsy 3 surgical procedures...
Orbital hypertelorism is a rare congenital condition caused by craniofacial malformations. It consists of complete orbital lateralization, characterized an increase in distance (above the 95
Navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS) is a well establish noninvasive method for preoperative brain motor mapping. We commonly use resonance imaging (MRI) to supply the nTMS system. In some cases, MRI not possible or available, and of computed tomography (CT) necessary. present first report describing association CT mapping lesion resection.CT 59-year-old man suffering from acquired immune deficiency syndrome 17 years, presenting with seizure right hemiparesis, revealed small...
Ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) remains the main treatment for hydrocephalus. However, VPS revision surgery is very common. Here, we present a case in which retained ventricular catheter was removed using endoscopic monopolar instrument. We report of 28-year-old female who presented with obstruction. She had two previous surgeries due to Eleven years after last one, she an abdominal pseudocyst that indicated total system removal. During surgery, observed. The instrument introduced into...
Gangliogliomas are rare tumors of the central nervous system. They usually located intracranially and rarely in spinal cord. There is no clear correlation between this tumor neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) with only four cases described. The aim article to describe one more case add data literature regarding association.An 8-year-old boy NF1 presented progressive asymmetrical paraparesis (Grade 4 medical research council scale on right leg Grade 3 left leg). cervicothoracic magnetic resonance...
Symptomatic isolated costovertebral joint (CVJ) osteoarthritis is rare, and establishing this diagnosis often difficult. There are few reports in the literature about how to surgically manage these lesions. Our aim was describe a case of costotransverse (CTJ) successfully treated with resection arthroplasty.A 51-year-old female presented 3 years right paravertebral T 10-level back radiating pain. No conservative treatment modality effectively resolved pain (i.e., included anti-inflammatory...
Endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal approach (EETA) is a well-established technique for sellar tumor resection. However, this route causes aerosol dispersion from the nasal cavity. In context of coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, new measures were taken aiming at safety and protection patients health-care professionals. Herein, we present Brazilian experience with EETA during COVID-19 pandemic.
Spinal dural arteriovenous fistula (SDAVF) is the most frequent vascular malformation of spine and accounts for approximately 70% all spinal malformations. In rare cases, SDAVF rupture subsequent subarachnoid hemorrhage or intramedullary hematoma may occur. The aim this article to present a fatal case after Rathke's cleft cyst (RCC) endoscopic resection.An 80-year-old female was referred our hospital with clinical presentation bilateral reduction in visual acuity, bitemporal hemianopsia,...
