Current Status and Associated Factors of Post-Hemorrhagic Hydrocephalus in Infants of 22 to 28 Weeks Gestation With Severe Intraventricular Hemorrhage in Korea: A Nationwide Cohort Study
CONCLUSION: It is necessary to maintain meticulous monitoring and neurological intervention for infants with PHH not only during admission but also after discharge. In addition, identifying the clinical factors that increase the likelihood of developing PHH from severe IVH is crucial.PMID:38651224 | PMC:PMC11035714 | DOI:10.3346/jkms.2024.39.e139 (Source: J Korean Med Sci)

Institutional Experience of Post Traumatic Posterior Fossa Extra Dural Hematoma: A Prospective Longitudinal Study
CONCLUSION: In patients with a clot volume of 15 cm3 and GCS of 15 at presentation with no mass effect and absence of TPF, a conservative trial under strict clinicoradiological monitoring in a neuro-critical multidisciplinary setting can be offered with good results. In cases of altered GCS, findings of a TPF, or clinicoradiological deterioration, immediate surgery is warranted.PMID:38650570 | DOI:10.5137/1019-5149.JTN.44330-23.2 (Source: Turkish Neurosurgery)

Choroid plexus immune cell response in murine hydrocephalus induced by intraventricular hemorrhage
ConclusionThere is a marked immune cell response at the ChP in IVH involving epiplexus cells, T lymphocytes and neutrophils. The blood components iron and Prx-2 may play a role in eliciting that response. Reduction of ChP macrophages with clodronate liposomes reduced iron-induced ventriculomegaly suggesting that ChP macrophages may be a promising therapeutic target for managing IVH-induced hydrocephalus.

Low surgical weight associated with ETV failure in pediatric hydrocephalus patients
In this study, younger patients experienced higher ETV failure rates, but multivariate regression found that weight was a more robust pr edictor of ETV failure than chronologic age or gestational age, with an optimal cutoff of 4.9 kg in our small cohort. Given the limited sample size, further study is needed to elucidate the independent role of weight as a peri-operative variable in determining ETV candidacy in young infants.Previous presentations: Poster Presentation, Congress of Neurological Surgeons.

Diego Garbossa
Given the importance of maximizing resection for prognosis in patients with HGG and the potential risks associated with ventricle opening, this study aimed to assess the actual increase in post-surgical complications related to lateral ventricle opening and its influence on OS and PFS. A retrospective study was conducted on newly diagnosed HGG, dividing the patients into two groups according to whether the lateral ventricle was opened (69 patients) or not opened (311 patients). PFS, OS, subependymal dissemination, distant parenchymal recurrences, the development of hydrocephalus and CSF lea...

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)

Secondary normal pressure hydrocephalus following pituitary apoplexy: A case report

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunting is an established long-term treatment option for hydrocephalus, and is one of the most commonly performed neurosurgical procedures in western countries.Despite advances in CSF shunt design and management, its failure rates remain high and is most commonly due to obstruction and infection.Cerebrospinal fluidshunt failure diagnosis should be prompt and accurate in establishing timely if its revision is appropriate.
