CRANIAL (CSF Rhinorrhoea After Endonasal Intervention to the Skull Base) is a prospective multicenter observational study seeking determine 1) scope of skull base repair methods used and 2) corresponding rates postoperative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea in endonasal transsphenoidal approach (TSA) expanded (EEA) for tumors. We sought pilot project, assessing feasibility acceptability by gathering preliminary data. A cohort was piloted at 12 tertiary neurosurgical units United Kingdom....
During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, concerns have been raised regarding increased risk of perioperative mortality for patients with COVID-19, and transmission to healthcare workers, especially during endonasal neurosurgical operations. The Pituitary Society has produced recommendations guide management this era. We sought assess contemporary practice effects COVID-19. A multicenter prospective observational cohort study was conducted at 12 tertiary units (United Kingdom...
Astroblastomas are uncommon neuroepithelial tumors of the central nervous system with a distinct, yet, controversial radiological, histological, and molecular profile. Debatable differences between low- high-grade astroblastoma have been reported in medical literature; indeed, despite increasing relevance genetic profiling realm astroblastoma, its application is still early stages. As result, diagnostic criteria for remain undecided yet no real consensus on most ideal management.This report...
BACKGROUND Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs) within the neuroaxis are rare, usually arising from and cranial nerves. Even more scarce subclassifications of MPNSTs termed “malignant intracerebral tumors” (MINSTs). These aggressive, with a strong tendency for metastasis. With this presentation, alongside resistance to adjunctive therapy, complete excision is mainstay treatment, although it often insufficient, resulting in high rate mortality. OBSERVATIONS The authors report...
Symptomatic bilateral juxtafacet ganglion cysts are relatively uncommon in the degenerated spine. The literature describes 16 cases of or synovial cysts, none reported sciatica and neurogenic claudication simultaneously. We present a case 60-year-old woman who presented with symptoms claudication. Magnetic resonance imaging lumbar spine revealed lesions related to facet joints at L4/5 level, causing lateral recess stenosis narrowing central canal due encroachment these same level. She...
Patients undergoing stoma surgery have a higher risk for early readmission. Some patients may benefit from closer postdischarge surveillance to provide detection of complications and timely intervention. However, there is paucity validated tools identify those at Here, we aim determine the independent factors associated with readmission within 30 days discharge following surgery, attempt validate previous predictive models develop novel prediction tool.A retrospective review 423 who...
