Decompressive Bone Flap Replacement (Decompressive Cranioplasty): A Novel Technique for Intracranial Hypertension —Initial Experience and Outcome
Conclusions DBFR may be a safe and effective alternative to DC in a specific subgroup of patients, in whom complete removal of the bone flap is feasible. DBFR can reduce intracranial pressure while maintaining the integrity of the skull cavity, eliminating the need for additional surgery for skull repair. Possible improvements for DBFR in the future are suggested, such as using a greater curvature of the titanium mesh or a modified DBFR with a hinged titanium mesh.

Embolization of an Intracranial Vertebral Artery Aneurysm via the Deep Cervical Artery
We describe a novel approach for endovascular treatment of a ruptured intracranial vertebral artery aneurysm with bilateral vertebral artery occlusions and hypoplasia of the posterior communicating arteries. Successful coil embolization was performed using a collateral pathway for microcatheterization via anastomosis between the deep cervical artery and the vertebral artery. This case report highlights a novel alternative endovascular treatment approach for vertebrobasilar aneurysms in case of a poor vascular status with occlusion or lack of traditional endovascular access routes.

Surgical Treatment of Developmental Dysplastic Lumbosacral Spondylolisthesis: Additional Help from an Intervertebral Distraction, Correction, and Reduction Device
Conclusion The application of an intervertebral distractor with a mobile thigh has a good clinical and radiologic outcome for mid- to high-grade adult dysplastic spondylolisthesis in terms of distraction, kyphosis correction, and reduction of underlying slippage. The described hardware failures and the complications were not related to the DCR device.

COVID-19 and Spontaneous Resolution of Lumbar Disk Prolapse: A Retrospective Cohort Study of Patients Awaiting Microdiscectomy
Conclusion Our single-center retrospective analysis revealed that for over a third of LDP patients, the prolonged postpandemic waiting list times for elective microdiskectomy resulted in their surgery not taking place either due to spontaneous clinical improvement or proven radiologic regression. Considering this, a prolonged conservative approach to LDP may be appropriate in some patients, allowing time for natural resolution, while avoiding perioperative risks.

Association between Removal of High-Frequency Oscillations and the Effect of Epilepsy Surgery: A Meta-Analysis
Conclusions There is a positive correlation between the greater removal of brain regions generating HFOs and more favorable postoperative seizure outcomes. However, further investigations, particularly through clinical trials, are necessary to justify the clinical application of HFOs in guiding epilepsy surgery.

Anesthetic Fade in Intraoperative Transcranial Motor Evoked Potential Monitoring Is Mainly due to Decreased Synaptic Transmission at the Neuromuscular Junction by Propofol Accumulation
Conclusion AF of MEP occurred in both craniotomy and spinal cord surgery, and it was also corrected by CMAP after peripheral nerve stimulation. AF is considered to be mainly due to a decrease in synaptic transfer of the neuromuscular junction due to the accumulation of propofol because of the avoidance by CMAP normalization. However, it may be partially due to a decrease in the excitability of pyramidal tracts and α-motor neurons, because AF occurred earlier in the lower limb muscles than in the upper limb muscles.

Traumatic Brain Injury in Alpine Winter Sports: Comparison of Two Case Series from a Swiss Trauma Center 30 Years Apart
Conclusion Helmet use among skiers sustaining head trauma has increased from none in the period from 1981 to 1993 to 100% during the 2019 to 2020 season, resulting in a reduction in the number of skull fractures and deaths. However, our observations suggest a marked shift in the type of intracranial injuries sustained, including a rise in the number of skiers experiencing DAI, sometimes with severe neurologic outcomes. The reasons for this paradoxical trend can only be speculated upon, leading to the question of whether the perceived benefits of helmet use in winter sports are actually misinterpreted.
