Verbal fluency predicts work resumption after awake surgery in low-grade glioma patients
ConclusionThe proportion of patients returning to work was comparable to similar studies. A decrease in verbal fluency tasks could predict the inability to return to work. (Source: Acta Neurochirurgica)

Passive or active drainage system for chronic subdural haematoma —a single-center retrospective follow-up study
ConclusionsConversion from the passive subdural to the active subgaleal drainage did not result in a clear reduction of reoperation rates for CSDH in our center. (Source: Acta Neurochirurgica)

Efficacy and safety of bedside percutaneous three-millimeter twist-drill trephination under local anesthesia —a retrospective study of 1000 patients
ConclusionsBedside TDT under local anesthesia has proven to be an effective and safe alternative to the conventional burr-hole operative technique as usually performed under general anesthesia in the operation theatre, and may be particularly useful in emergency cases as well as in elderly and multimorbid patients.

Frame-based versus robot-assisted stereo-electro-encephalography for drug-resistant epilepsy
ConclusionsSEEG is a safe and highly accurate method that provides essential guidance for epilepsy surgery. Implementing SEEG in conjunction with multimodal planning systems and robotic devices can further increase safety margin, surgical efficiency, and accuracy. (Source: Acta Neurochirurgica)

Development and validation of a prediction model for consistency of pituitary adenoma: the PiTCon score
ConclusionsPA consistency can be estimated preoperatively regarding clinical and radiological characteristics. We propose a point-based scoring system (PiTCon score) that can better guide neurosurgeons in clinical decision-making and surgical risk assessment and help establish and describe patient prognosis.

Initial dysnatremia and clinical outcomes in pediatric traumatic brain injury: a multicenter observational study
ConclusionAmong children with TBI, presenting dysnatremia was associated with in-hospital mortality and poor functional outcome, particularly hypernatremia. Future research should investigate longitudinal sodium measurements in pediatric TBI and their association with clinical outcomes. (Source: Acta Neurochirurgica)

Distant recurrence in the cerebellar dentate nucleus through the dentato-rubro-thalamo-cortical pathway in supratentorial glioma cases
ConclusionDistant recurrence along the DRTC pathway is not rare in astrocytomas, GB, or DMG at the frontal lobe or thalamus. Recurrence in the DN developed as a result of the infiltration of tumor cells through the DRTC pathway, not dissemination through the CSF. (Source: Acta Neurochirurgica)
