Superior orbital fissure narrowing and tumor-associated pain in spheno-orbital meningiomas
ConclusionWhile the exact cause of tumor-associated pain remains unclear, SOF narrowing seems to play a role in pain among SOM patients. Based on the radiological characteristics, SOF neurovascular decompression is recommended in SOM patients. (Source: Acta Neurochirurgica)

Long-term outcome of operated Chiari I patients between 2005 and 2020 in Eastern Finland
ConclusionThis is the largest reported series of surgically treated CM1 patients in Finland. Posterior fossa decompression is an effective procedure for CM1 symptomology. Duraplasty technique had no significant difference in complication rate or long-term outcomes. (Source: Acta Neurochirurgica)

Effectiveness and reliability of hypnosis in stereotaxy: a randomized study
ConclusionIn this unblinded, randomized study, hypnosis does not influence pain, anxiety, and distress during awake SF fixation but modulates pain memory over time and may prevent the integration of awake painful procedures as a bad experience into the autobiographical memory of patients suffering from PD. A randomized controlled study with more data is necessary to confirm our findings. (Source: Acta Neurochirurgica)

A pilot clinical study to estimate intracranial pressure utilising cerebral photoplethysmograms in traumatic brain injury patients
ConclusionThe clinical evaluation of this innovative optical nICP sensor revealed its ability to estimate ICP non-invasively with acceptable and clinically useful accuracy. This breakthrough opens the door to further technological refinement and larger-scale clinical studies in the future.Trial registrationNCT05632302, 11th November 2022, retrospectively registered.

A preliminary study on the spasticity reduction of quadriceps after selective dorsal rhizotomy in pediatric cases of spastic cerebral palsy
ConclusionsSDR demonstrates the potential to reduce muscle spasticity in lower extremities in children diagnosed with CP, including a notable impact on quadriceps spasticity even they are not targeted in SDR. The utilization of intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring data enhances the predictability of quadriceps spasticity reduction following SDR. (Source: Acta Neurochirurgica)
