Postoperative complications after surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis, assessment using two different data sources
ConclusionPostoperative complications occurred in 22% of LSS patients. The frequency of different postoperative complications differed between the two data sources. (Source: Acta Neurochirurgica)

Trends in incidence and treatments of spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage- a 10 year hospital based study
ConclusionsThe incidence of patients with SAH gradually decreased in our material, in line with national data. The treatment policy in our unit has been shifting to more use of endovascular methods. During the study period the use of hemicraniectomies decreased. (Source: Acta Neurochirurgica)

Ruptured aneurysm in collateral arteries with blood-flow impairment of posterior inferior cerebellar artery: a report of three cases
AbstractHerein, we report three cases of cerebellar hemorrhage due to a ruptured small aneurysm located on a collateral artery compensating for one or more stenotic or occluded major cerebellar arteries. In each case, endovascular distant parent artery occlusion of both the collateral artery and aneurysm was performed to prevent rebleeding. A ruptured small aneurysm in a collateral artery may be observed in patients with hemorrhage in an atypical cerebellar region, especially in cases of stenosis or occlusion of the vertebral artery or posterior inferior cerebellar artery. Thus, cerebral angiography is recommended to rule ...

Full endoscopic surgery for calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease (CPPD) in the cervical ligamentum flavum: report of two cervical myelopathy cases
We present two successful cases where full endoscopic systems were used for CPPD removal in the cervical spine. The surgical technique involved a full endoscopic approach, adapting the previously reported technique for unilateral laminotomy bilateral decompression. Full-endoscopic removal of cervical CPPD inducing myelopathy were successfully removed with good clinical and radiologic outcomes. The scarcity of endoscopic cases for cervical ligamentum flavum CPPD is attributed to the condition's rarity. However, our successful cases advocate for endoscopic surgery as a potential primary treatment option for CPPD-induced cerv...

Predictive value of the hemispheric magnetic resonance angiography score on the development of indirect pial synangiosis after combined revascularization surgery for adult moyamoya disease
ConclusionHemispheric MRA score was a predictive factor for indirect bypass development in adult patients who underwent a combined bypass procedure for MMD. Predicting poor indirect bypass development may lead to future tailored bypass surgeries for MMD. (Source: Acta Neurochirurgica)

Biportal endoscopic cervical open-door laminoplasty to treat cervical spondylotic myelopathy
ConclusionWe successfully performed the cervical open door laminoplasty using biportal endoscopic approach. Biportal endoscopic cervical open-door laminoplasty may be a minimally invasive technique that can prevent complications related with open surgery. (Source: Acta Neurochirurgica)

Chemical angioplasty vs. balloon plus chemical angioplasty for delayed cerebral ischemia: a pilot study of PbtO2 outcomes
ConclusionCombined balloon plus chemical angioplasty results in more sustained improvement in brain tissue oxygenation compared with chemical angioplasty alone. Our findings suggest that PbtO2 is a useful tool for monitoring the response to angioplasty in vasospasm. (Source: Acta Neurochirurgica)

Systemic immune-inflammation index in dural arteriovenous fistula: a feasible biomarker reflecting its clinical characteristics
ConclusionElevation of the SII in patients with advanced DAVF and its decrease following endovascular treatment suggests that the SII reflects the disease condition and indicates its potential as a promising biomarker. (Source: Acta Neurochirurgica)

Microsurgical resection of a large petroclival meningioma through an extended retrosigmoid approach: how I do it
ConclusionThe extended retrosigmoid approach allowed for a safe gross total resection of the tumor, as confirmed by the postoperative MRI. The patient did not experience any new postoperative deficit, despite a transient diplopia, and was discharged on postoperative day 7. (Source: Acta Neurochirurgica)
