Predictors of Mortality after Craniotomy for Geriatric Traumatic Brain Injury
: With a sustained increase in the proportion of elderly trauma patients, geriatric traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a significant source of morbidity, mortality and resource utilization. The aim of our study was to assess the predictors of mortality in geriatric TBI patients who underwent craniotomy. (Source: Injury)

Enhancing the quality of evidence, comparability, and reproducibility in brain arteriovenous malformations treated with open surgery research: a systematic review and proposal of a reporting guideline for surgical and clinical outcomes
This study aims to assess the quality of studies reporting clinical and surgical outcomes for bAVMs treated by open surgery and develop a reporting guideline checklist focusing on essential elements to ensure comparability and reproducibility. This is a systematic literature review that followed the PRISMA guidelines with the search inMedline,Embase, andWeb of Science databases, for studies published between January 1, 2018, and December 1, 2023. Included studies were scrutinized focusing on seven domains: (1) Assessment of How Studies Reported on the Baseline Characteristics of the Patient Sample; (2) Assessment and rep...

Establishment of a model to predict mortality after decompression craniotomy for traumatic brain injury
ConclusionsWe developed a risk model that has clinical significance for the early identification of patients who will still die after DC. Interestingly, we also identified a new early risk factor for TBI patients after DC, that is, preoperative mean CT value of the superior sagittal sinus (p < .05). (Source: Brain and Behavior)

Transmastoid pediatric penetrating brain injury, interdisciplinary, and tailored patient's treatment
CONCLUSION: Radiological tools, notably skull X-rays and head CT scans, are pivotal for the precise diagnosis of pediatric PBI. The combined mastoidectomy and retro sigmoid craniotomy approach offers a safe and efficient means of foreign body removal. Tailoring treatments to individual patient needs enhances outcomes.PMID:38628538 | PMC:PMC11021077 | DOI:10.25259/SNI_18_2024 (Source: Surgical Neurology International)

Remote supratentorial intraparenchymal bleed after posterior fossa surgery: A rare occurrence
CONCLUSION: We report this case due to the unique case observation of an intracranial bleed at a remote site rather than at the operated site.PMID:38628529 | PMC:PMC11021087 | DOI:10.25259/SNI_748_2023 (Source: Surgical Neurology International)

Rare vermian pilocytic astrocytoma with recurrent spontaneous hemorrhage in the elderly: A case report and review of literature
CONCLUSION: PA in the elderly is a rare disease with distinct histologic and genetic peculiarities. This case review showed one of the oldest cases of cerebellar vermian PA presenting with recurrent spontaneous intratumoral hemorrhage, an extremely rare occurrence in benign glioma. Although complete surgical excision is recommended, partial resection is advocated for morbidly adherent tumors. Overall prognosis is worse in elderly PA.PMID:38628526 | PMC:PMC11021065 | DOI:10.25259/SNI_978_2023 (Source: Surgical Neurology International)

Intracranial malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor: A case report and comprehensive literature review
CONCLUSION: MPNSTs comprise a group of highly aggressive neoplasms that rarely arise intracranially. Gross total surgical resection should be pursued when feasible.PMID:38628513 | PMC:PMC11021080 | DOI:10.25259/SNI_931_2023 (Source: Surgical Neurology International)

A case report of an unusual cerebral hydatid cyst
CONCLUSION: Intracranial hydatid cyst is an extremely rare condition and should always be considered a possible differential diagnosis in cases of cerebral cystic lesions. Hydrodissection is the preferred surgical method for resection; however, in atypical cases such as the one described here, meticulous dissection of the cyst capsule from the brain parenchyma may be successful with minimal risk of intraoperative rupture.PMID:38628511 | PMC:PMC11021106 | DOI:10.25259/SNI_70_2024 (Source: Surgical Neurology International)
