Stereotactic biopsies for brainstem lesions are frequently performed to yield an accurate diagnosis and help guide subsequent management. In this study, we summarize our experience with different stereotactic approaches of locations discuss possible implications safety diagnostic yield.We retrospectively analyzed 23 adult patients who underwent a biopsy between October 2011 December 2019. Depending on the location supra- or infratentorial, trajectories were planned. We assessed postoperative...
Background: Myelomeningocele (MMC) is a severe congenital malformation of the CNS (central nervous system) that often leads to seizures due factors such as shunt complications and hydrocephalus. This study aims develop machine learning model predict likelihood in MMC patients by analyzing various predictors. Methods: retrospective involved 103 patients. Factors demographics, location, history, imaging were analyzed using random forest classifier, support vector logistic regression. Model...
Background: Ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) placement treats hydrocephalus by draining excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Despite advances, infections remain a common complication, resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. Infection rates range from 7.2 to 18%, with pathogens being Staphylococcus epidermidis aureus . Risk factors include young age, postoperative CSF leakage, prolonged surgery, previous infections. The aim of this study was describe the prevalence at King Abdullah...
Introduction: This article presents a rare case of idiopathic delayed brain edema (IDE) following successful stereotactic aspiration deeply seated abscess in five-year-old child. Case Presentation: The patient underwent frameless abscess. Despite resolution and initial improvement, the child developed severe cerebral one month later, necessitating left decompressive craniectomy, additional interventions, prolonged hospitalization. Conclusions: paper outlines clinical trajectory, diagnostic...
Background: Decompressive craniectomy (DC) is a surgical procedure to treat refractory increase in intracranial pressure. DC frequently succeeded by cranioplasty (CP), reconstructive protect the underlying brain and maintain cerebrospinal fluid flow dynamics. However, complications such as seizures, collections, infections, hydrocephalus can arise from CP. Our aim investigate these their possible risk factors discuss whether early or late CP has any effect on outcome. Materials Methods: A...
Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the most common presentations to emergency departments and associated with seizures carrying different significance at stages following injury. The occurrence after head a recognized complication TBI has been demonstrated worsen functional outcomes significantly. Despite previous studies identifying various PTS risk factors, our understanding remains limited, particularly regarding familial seizure history. Materials Methods: A retrospective...
<p><strong>Aim</strong> <br />Kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty are minimally invasive procedures used in bone augmentation following vertebral fractures when conservative management has failed. Cement injection could leak into surrounding structures leading to post-operative sequelae, which be symptomatic. This study compared the rate site of cement extravasation vertebroplasty, kyphoplasty, a combined approach. The indications,...
Abstract Large and giant intracranial aneurysms, exceeding 10 mm 25 in diameter, respectively, are rare neurosurgery. These lesions carry substantial morbidity mortality risks, often causing mass effects, hemorrhage, stroke, or seizures. We present our experience with 54 patients diagnosed these aneurysms at King Abdullah University Hospital. conducted neurological assessments preoperative evaluations using the modified Rankin Scale. Individualized treatment strategies, employing surgical...
We report a unique case of late-onsetcerebral vasospasm at 21 and again 30 days following aneurismal subarachnoid hemorrhage.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary tumor of liver, responsible for significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. In Western world, it primarily affects patients with cirrhosis, secondary to hepatitis C virus alcoholism. rest HCC closely associated B viruses infections. Skull metastasis from a rare presentation. We report 53-year-old male who presented painless scalp lesion that was revealed be due distant an unnoticed in background chronic virus. Isolated skull mass...
