OBJECTIVE The utilization of digital technologies has experienced a notable surge, particularly in cases where access to cadavers is constrained, within the context practical neuroanatomy training. This study evaluates augmented reality (AR)– and virtual (VR)–based educational models for education. METHODS Three-dimensional were created using advanced photogrammetry. VR- AR-based developed by arranging these 3D align with learning objectives neurosurgery residents second-year medical...
INTRODUCTION: Crafting a dynamic and interactive three-dimensional (3D) learning tool holds the potential to deepen students' residents' grasp of intricate spatial relationships within diverse neuroanatomical structures, ultimately enhancing their comprehension this complex subject. Electronic has steadily risen in prominence as an educational approach across disciplines, offering wealth customizable resources cater requirements students. METHODS: Advanced photogrammetry techniques were...
Abstract Purpose The success and outcomes of repeat endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery (ETS) for residual or recurrent Cushing’s disease (CD) are underreported in the literature. This study aims to address this gap by assessing safety, feasibility, efficacy ETS these patients. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 56 patients who underwent a total 65 performed single neurosurgeon between January 2006 December 2020. Data including demographic, clinical, laboratory, radiological,...
OBJECTIVE Real-time MRI-guided focused laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) is a minimally invasive surgical treatment choice for challenging intracranial lesions that are either resistant to conventional therapies or located in deep critical areas of the brain. However, existing studies on LITT within neuro-oncology relatively small and have limited follow-up periods. The authors aimed present comprehensive analysis their experiences with neuro-oncology, intent provide clearer...
INTRODUCTION: Real-time magnetic resonance imaging–guided focused laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) is a minimally invasive surgical treatment choice for challenging intracranial lesions that are either resistant to conventional therapies or located in deep critical areas of the brain. METHODS: This study constitutes an exploratory cohort analysis encompassing all patients who underwent LITT brain tumors at single center between 2013 and 2023. The primary focus was on extent...
INTRODUCTION: Outpatient surgery and same-day discharge meet the changing demands of modern healthcare, offering advantages like lower infection risks medical errors. Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols further enhance these benefits, potentially enabling safe outpatient cranial surgeries. METHODS: A retrospective analysis patients scheduled for planned SDD after between August 2020 October 2023 was conducted. Data included patient demographics, preoperative clinical deficits,...
OBJECTIVE Over the past 3 decades, robotic technology has advanced significantly across surgical fields, driven by improvements in versatility, stability, skill, and tactile properties. Neurosurgery led way integrating robotics to improve accuracy safety of procedures that require high precision. This study aimed present one largest series literature investigate feasibility effectiveness assistance neuro-oncological surgery. METHODS The authors performed a retrospective review medical...
Extraosseous Ewing sarcoma is a rare and aggressive malignancy belonging to the family of tumors, primarily affecting soft tissues such as pelvis, retroperitoneum, chest wall. Although it predominantly involves these tissues, extraosseous can also occur in solid organs, including pancreas. Here, we present case 4-year-old girl diagnosed with primary
Background: Colloid cysts are intracranial lesions originating from abnormalities in the primitive neuroepithelium folding of third ventricle. Various surgical approaches have been explored for management colloid cysts, each carrying its own set advantages and limitations. Tubular retractors developed recently alleviate retraction pressure through radial distribution, potentially offering benefits cyst resection. This study aims to introduce assess a modified microsurgical method utilizing...
OBJECTIVE Outpatient surgery and same-day discharge are developing fields that align with the evolving needs of modern healthcare, presenting a notable advantage by reducing patient susceptibility to nosocomial infections, thromboembolic complications, medical errors. When paired enhanced recovery after protocols, they hold promise in safely transitioning certain patients undergoing cranial outpatient care. This study aimed evaluate on same day intracranial tumor resection endoscopic third...
Background: Pituitary adenomas rank third among adult intracranial tumors, with an incidence of 3.9– 7.4 cases/per 100,000 annually. Transsphenoidal surgery has evolved to include endoscopic endonasal (EEA) in many centers due technological and surgical advancements over the past two decades. We aim analyze a 12-year cohort pituitary operated through EEA, highlighting evolution techniques outcomes. Methods: A retrospective review patients undergoing EEA was conducted. team otolaryngologist...
<title>Abstract</title> Intravenous (IV) iron is frequently used to treat deficiency, even though oral therapy recommended as a first-line treatment in most cases. IV provides various benefits but also has drawbacks, including high costs, potential allergic reactions, and the need for hospitalization. In this study, we assessed patient disease-related factors of re-evaluated appropriateness using an algorithm created by reviewing current guidelines literature. A retrospective single-center...
Objective: Phenylketonuria is a metabolic disorder resulting from mutations in the PAH gene, causing elevated blood phenylalanine (Phe) levels which can lead to severe neurological damage if untreated. The primary treatment lifelong low-protein diet with amino acid substitutes and micronutrient supplements. During COVID-19 pandemic, classical phenylketonuria (PKU) patients faced significant challenges, including restricted access routine care like clinical visits control monitoring. aim of...
Primary adrenal lymphoma (PAL) is an extremely rare among the causes of incidentaloma. Most were diagnosed with insufficiency and B symptoms (unexplained weight loss, night sweats, fever). This article presented a 57-year-old woman who was investigated for bilateral masses found incidentally on computed tomography (CT). Physical examination laboratory tests revealed no evidence or symptoms. Only 24-hour urinary metanephrine normetanephrine excretion increased. Tumour F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose...
Ponatinib is a third-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor with potent efficacy in the treatment of acute and chronic leukemia. Despite having an effective sustained activity all BCR-ABL1 mutations, it may cause cardiovascular adverse effects. Here we report 56-year-old male patient Chronic myeloid leukemia no prior cardiac disorder who developed heart failure under ponatinib treatment. Guideline-recommended medical for was initiated. Coronary angiography to exclude ischemic disease revealed...
