Stereotactic frame-based biopsy of infratentorial lesions via the suboccipital-transcerebellar approach with the Zamorano-Duchovny stereotactic system —a retrospective analysis of 79 consecutive cases
ConclusionsOur data suggests that frame-based stereotactic biopsies with the Zamorano-Duchovny stereotactic system via the suboccipital-transcerebellar approach are safe and reliable for infratentorial lesions bearing a high diagnostic yield and an acceptable complication rate. Further research should focus on the planning of safe trajectories and a careful case selection with the goal of minimizing complications and maximizing diagnostic success.

Customized ventral bony and dural opening in the transplanum/transtuberculum and transclival variants of extended endoscopic endonasal approach to suprasellar craniopharyngiomas: an approach-based stepwise cadaveric dissection and clinical applicability
ConclusionSafe maximal resection of suprasellar craniopharyngiomas through extended EEAs can be feasibly and safely achieved by implementing of tailored ventral exposure. (Source: Acta Neurochirurgica)

Technical note: preliminary surgical experience with a new implantable epicranial stimulation device for chronic focal cortex stimulation in drug-resistant epilepsy
ConclusionIn this first small series, we were able to show safe implantation of this new epicranial stimulation device. The use of neuronavigation is strongly recommended. The procedure is simple but not trivial and ideally belongs in the hands of a neurosurgeon. (Source: Acta Neurochirurgica)

Incidence of surgically treated chronic subdural hematoma after head injury with normal initial computed tomography
ConclusionThe extremely low incidence of surgically treated cSDH after a normal initial head CT, even in patients on antithrombotic medication, supports the notion that routine follow-up imaging after an initial normal head CT is not indicated to exclude the development of cSDH. Additionally, our findings support the concept of cSDH not being a purely head trauma-related disease. (Source: Acta Neurochirurgica)

Coronal vertical fracture of vertebral body following minimally invasive lateral lumbar interbody fusion: risk factor analysis in consecutive case series
ConclusionsCV-VBF after LLIF occurred in 2.6% of patients, accounting for 1.3% of all LLIF levels. A potential risk factor for VBF involves the nutcracker-impinging effect due to the oblique placement of a cage. Thorough preoperative evaluations and surgical procedures are needed to avoid VBF when considering LLIF in patients with less mobile spine. (Source: Acta Neurochirurgica)

Middle cluneal nerve entrapment sites in the surgical field
ConclusionBetween the posterior superior- and the posterior inferior iliac spine, the MCN ran obliquely in the cranio-caudal direction; it was prominent in areas on the caudal side. In six (40%) patients, we decompressed two adjacent MCNs. Our findings are useful for MCN decompression surgery. (Source: Acta Neurochirurgica)

Basilar artery perforator aneurysms: a comparison with non-perforator saccular aneurysms
ConclusionsDespite their small size, BAPAs present with similar volume SAH, WFNS grade and hydrocephalus to other aneurysms. They are difficult to identify on CTA but enhance strikingly on VWI. The majority thrombosed. Initial conservative management reserving treatment for growth was associated with no rebleeds or complications. (Source: Acta Neurochirurgica)
