How should visual function monitoring be performed and interpreted in surgery for suprasellar tumors?
CONCLUSIONS: OFR has a diagnostic element in the visual field, in which the maximal potential was recorded on the opposite side of the stimulus with monocular stimulation. Unambiguous determination required stimulation of different intensities in both eyes or 1 eye and multiple recording electrodes placed in the occiput. Monitoring the OFR provides real-time alerts, making it a valuable tool for visual function evaluation in suprasellar surgery.PMID:38608298 | DOI:10.3171/2024.1.JNS232118 (Source: Journal of Neurosurgery)

Long-term outcome of microvascular decompression for typical trigeminal neuralgia with autologous muscle: an analysis of 1025 patients from a developing country
CONCLUSIONS: MVD with autologous muscle provides long-lasting pain relief in TGN patients with vascular compression with minimum morbidity and is a viable alternative to synthetic materials.PMID:38608302 | DOI:10.3171/2023.9.JNS231473 (Source: Journal of Neurosurgery)

Use of circulating tumor cells and microemboli to predict diagnosis and prognosis in diffuse glioma
CONCLUSIONS: The authors revealed a correlation between CTCs and clinical characteristics and demonstrated that CTCs and CTMs are independent predictors for the diagnosis and prognosis of diffuse glioma. Their CTC- and CTM-based survival models can enable clinicians to evaluate patients' response to surgery as well as their outcomes.PMID:38608304 | DOI:10.3171/2024.1.JNS232020 (Source: Journal of Neurosurgery)

Unplanned returns to the operating room: a quality improvement methodology for the comparison of institutional outcomes to national benchmarks
CONCLUSIONS: Using an institutional documentation tool and a widely available national database, the authors developed a reproducible and standardized method of comparing their department's outcomes with national benchmarks per procedure subgroup. This methodology accommodates longitudinal quality surveillance across the different subspecialties in a neurosurgical department and may illuminate potential shortcomings of care delivery in the future.PMID:38608305 | DOI:10.3171/2024.1.JNS221492 (Source: Journal of Neurosurgery)

Association of disruption of the right posterior arcuate fasciculus with spatial neglect
CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that parietotemporal networks mediated by the right psAF may play a critical role in visuospatial attention. This analysis may help to disentangle the organization of the visuospatial attention networks, predict deficits in patients with glioma, and optimize surgical planning.PMID:38608308 | DOI:10.3171/2024.1.JNS232142 (Source: Journal of Neurosurgery)

The impact of regular aspirin use on aneurysm recanalization rates after endovascular coiling
CONCLUSIONS: Regular use of aspirin appears to be associated with reduced rates of aneurysm recanalization after endovascular coiling. However, caution is advised in interpretation of these results given the retrospective nature of this study. Further randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm these findings.PMID:38608309 | DOI:10.3171/2024.1.JNS232726 (Source: Journal of Neurosurgery)
