SMARCB1-Retained and SMARCB1-Deficient SNUC are Genetically Distinct: A Pilot Study Using RNA Sequencing
Conclusion RNA sequencing is a viable and informative approach for genomic profiling of archival SNUC samples. Both SR-SNUC and SD-SNUC were noted to have distinct genetic profiles underlying the molecular classification of these diseases.

Impact of Latency Variations on the Predictive Value of Facial Nerve Proximal-to-Distal Amplitude Ratio during Vestibular Schwannoma Surgery
Conclusion At a latency between 6 and 8 ms, the P/D amplitude ratio was predictive of outcomes with high SE and SP. When latency was < 6 ms or > 8 ms, the same predictive ability was not observed. Knowing the strengths and limitations is important for understanding the predictive value of the P/D amplitude ratio.

NextLens —The Next Generation of Surgical Navigation: Proof of Concept of an Augmented Reality System for Surgical Navigation
Conclusion The HoloLens 2 has a high potential for use as a surgical navigation system. With subsequent studies, a further accuracy evaluation will be performed receiving valid data for comparison with conventional surgical navigation systems. In addition to transsphenoidal pituitary surgery, it could be also applied for other surgical disciplines.

Frontotemporal Orbitozygomatic Transcavernous Approach: Stepwise Cadaveric Dissection for a Safe Corridor
Conclusion Despite its technical difficulty, the FTOZ TCA should be considered for the surgical management of basilar apex aneurysms and tumors surrounding the cavernous sinus, sellar/parasellar, retrochiasmatic, and petroclival region. Continuous training and dedicated time in the skull base laboratory can help achieve the necessary skills required to perform this approach.

A Study on the Efficacy of Thrombectomy in Patients with Atherosclerotic and Cardioembolic Basilar Artery Occlusion
Conclusions Although there were differences in clinical characteristics and imaging features between LAA and CE, there was no evidence of a significant difference in prognosis after EVT. In addition, the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score was not among the independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of the LAA group.

Multiportal Retrograde Endoscopy to Enhance Surgical Target Visualization: A Pilot Study
Conclusion High-quality visualization of surgical targets such as the frontal or maxillary ostia can be challenging with rigid endoscopes alone. Multiportal retrograde endoscopy provides proof of concept that additional views of a surgical target can be achieved. Additional work is needed to further develop indications, techniques, and generalizability to targets beyond those investigated here.

Endocrine Outcomes and Associated Predictive Factors for Somatotrophin Pituitary Adenoma after Endoscopic Endonasal Transsphenoidal Surgery: 10 Years of Experience in a Single Institute
Conclusion The surgeons' experience is an important factor that can affect the patients' endocrine outcomes after surgery. The macroadenomas with lateral invasion are more difficult to cure. Patients with higher preoperative nadir GH levels are less likely to achieve remission.

Clinical Outcome in Patients with Large Sinonasal Tumors with Intracranial Extension
Conclusion In conclusion, the overall survival was 50% for this group of patients with large sinonasal tumors. Progressive disease affects survival rate severely. Surgical complications were seen in five (28%) patients. Radiotherapy is associated with high complication rates. Radiation necrosis was a serious complication in two patients and could be treated with high dose steroids.

Suprasellar Meningioma Classification: Endoscopic Transnasal Perspective
Conclusions Preoperative evaluation of bone involvement and tumor relation to neurovascular structures can be used to classify suprasellar meningiomas. Chiasmatic sulcus meningioma is a distinct subtype of suprasellar meningiomas. Its unique behavior toward nearby neurovascular structures could be of surgical value during tumor resection.

Soft Tissue Dissection in the Transcondylar Approach: A Modified Layered Technique to Maximize Lateral Access
Conclusions This technique avoids the obstructive muscle bulk that results from a myocutaneous approach while maximizing deep exposure. Understanding the detailed muscular anatomical relationship with the insertion location and suboccipital nerves is key to complete and safe extracranial dissection. Diligent dissection helps minimize postoperative pain and muscle spasm while optimizing the closure technique.

Surgical Management of Large ( ≥3 cm) Trigeminal Schwannomas: Functional Outcomes and Approach Selection in Multicompartmental Schwannomas
Conclusions Large-volume schwannomas present with cranial nerve involvement and may need extensive skull base approaches. Functional outcomes need to be prioritized and can be achieved albeit with lesser gross resection rates. Hearing and facial preservation in addition to relief of trigeminal symptoms should be the goal of resection with minimal additional morbidity.

Pain Outcomes Following Endoscopic Microvascular Decompression for Trigeminal Neuralgia Based on Vascular Compression Type
Conclusions The degree of clinical improvement in all types of VC was excellent, but at longest follow-up VC type was not a significant predictor out outcome. However distal venous compression was significantly associated with worse outcomes at 1 month.
