Predictive Factors for Postoperative Opioid Use in Elective Skull Base Craniotomies
Conclusion Younger age, history of anxiety or depression, preoperative opioid consumption, preexisting history of migraines, and significant intraoperative muscle dissection were associated with higher postoperative opioid consumption. These risk factors provide insight on potential targets for minimizing postoperative opioids in craniotomies.

Primary Intracranial Adenoid cystic carcinoma: report of three cases
Conclusions: Primary intracranial ACCs constitute an extremely rare clinical entity with atypical presentation, challenging diagnostic workup and management. The design of an international web-based database with a detailed report of these tumors would be extremely helpful.

Determinants of Patient Refusal of Postoperative Radiation Therapy in Sinonasal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Conclusions PORT refusal in patients with SNSCC is rare and was found to be associated with several patient factors. The decision to forgo PORT is not independently associated with overall survival in this cohort. Further study is required to determine the clinical implications of these findings as the treatment decisions are complex.

The combined TL-RS approach: Advantages and disadvantages of working 360 degrees around the sigmoid sinus.
Conclusion: Combining TL and RS approach may be helpful in safely removing large meningiomas and schwannomas in selected cases. This valuable technique should be considered when sufficient exposure cannot be achieved with the TL or RS approach alone.

Application of Surface Landmarks Combined with Image-Guided Sinus Location in the Retrosigmoid Approach and Their Clinic-Image Relationship Analysis
Conclusion By combining intraoperative anatomical landmarks and preoperative image information, the margin of the TSSJ, in particular, the inferior margin of the transverse sinus, can be well and thoroughly identified in the retrosigmoid approach.

An Anatomic Assessment of the Intercavernous Sinuses and Review of the Literature
Conclusion All examined specimens demonstrated the presence of an AIS, and most had a PIS. The presence of an IIS was more variable. Preoperative awareness of these sinuses is helpful in planning transsphenoidal surgery to minimize the risk of bleeding.

Endoscopic Endonasal Approach to the Third Ventricle Using the Surgical Corridor of the Reverse Third Ventriculostomy: Anatomo-Surgical Nuances
Conclusion The third ventricle can safely be accessed through ERTV either above or below the pituitary gland. ERTV provides a wide exposure of the third ventricle through the tuber cinereum and offers access to the anterior part as far as the anterior commissure and precommissural part of fornix and the whole length of the posterior part. Endoscopic ERTV may be a suitable alternative to transcranial approaches to access the third ventricle in selected patients.

Health Insurance Coverage and Survival Outcomes among Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Patients: A SEER Retrospective Analysis
Conclusion Privately insured individuals had significantly better survival outcomes than uninsured or Medicaid patients, a trend that was preserved after accounting for tumor grade, demographic and clinicopathologic factors. These results underscore the difference in survival outcomes when comparing privately insured to Medicaid/uninsured populations and warrant further investigation in efforts for health care reform.

Surgical Treatment for Severe Primary Midbrain and Upper Pons Hemorrhages Using a Subtemporal Tentorial Approach
Conclusions Based on the results uncovered in this study, the subtemporal tentorial approach was found to be both safe and feasible and may be beneficial for the treatment of severe primary midbrain and upper pons hemorrhages, but a more comprehensive and comparative study is required to further confirm these results.

Pituitary Adenomas as a Barometer for Health Care Access
Conclusion The ACA has expanded health care access which has increased the ability to identify patients with pituitary adenomas. The present study also provides evidence that access to care is important for less prevalent diseases such as pituitary adenomas.

Characterization of the Saddle Nose Deformity Following Endoscopic Endonasal Skull Base Surgery
Conclusion Clinically evident SND does not always lead to significant radiographic changes. This analysis suggests that patients who undergo surgery for indications other than functional pituitary microadenomas or who receive NSF reconstruction develop more marked SND on standard imaging tests.

Minipterional Approach for Middle Fossa Skull Base Lesions: Technical Note
We present a new surgical approach to the middle fossa for the treatment of secondary trigeminal neuralgia. Three cases are reported to illustrate the following techniques: a patient with petrotentorial meningioma and trigeminal neuralgia, a patient with an arachnoid cyst compressing the fifth nerve, and a patient with a middle cerebral artery aneurysm and a long history of TN (trigeminal neuralgia) refractory to medical and surgical treatments. All three experienced full symptom controls with no permanent neurological deficits. Therefore, the Minipterional technique might represent a feasible, effective, and safe option t...
