Conclusion Tumor seeding can occur anywhere along the operative route and is often outside the field of radiotherapy. Increased awareness of this rare occurrence is necessary. The use of novel techniques to minimize exposure to tumor including primary endoscopic resection and so-called clean oncologic technique may help limit tumor seeding. Level of evidence: 4.[...]Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New YorkArticle in Thieme eJournals:Table of contents | Abstract | open access Full text (Source: Journal of Neurological Surgery Reports)

Postsurgical Meningitis Complicated by Severe Refractory Intracranial Hypertension with Limited Treatment Options: The Role of Mild Therapeutic Hypothermia
We present a rare clinical scenario in which therapeutic hypothermia was the only available method for controlling intracranial pressure and that demonstrates the efficacy and safety of the Thermogard (Zoll, Chelmsford, Massachusetts, United States) cooling system in creating and maintaining a prolonged hypothermic state. The lifesaving effect of hypothermia was overshadowed by the unfavorable neurologic outcome observed (minimally conscious state on intensive care unit discharge). These results add further evidence to support the role of therapeutic hypothermia in managing intracranial pressure and provide motivation for ...

A 34-Year-Old Woman with Brainstem Cavernous Malformation: The Anterior Transcallosal Transchoroidal Approach and Literature Review
J Neurol Surg RepDOI: 10.1055/s-0034-1387192Mesencephalic cavernous malformations (MeCMs) account for 4 to 35% of the cavernous malformations of the central nervous system and are generally rare. Surgical resection of brainstem cavernomas are high-risk procedures and can be challenging to the neurosurgeon. Several approaches have been described, but the approach must allow for a straight line of sight in which the surgeon, the pial incision, and the MeCM are all collinear. This alignment provides the best view of the lesion while minimizing the need for brainstem retraction. The pial incision should be chosen to minimize t...

Shrapnel Injury of Isolated Third Cranial Nerve
J Neurol Surg RepDOI: 10.1055/s-0034-1387190Isolated third nerve palsy develops in numerous intracranial pathologies such as closed head trauma, tumor, and aneurysm. Isolated oculomotor nerve palsy caused by shrapnel injury is uncommon. After a penetrating intracranial shrapnel injury, our patient with oculomotor ophthalmoplegia underwent surgery. Microsurgery removed the shrapnel that was applying pressure on the third nerve, resulting in contusion. A partial recovery associated with regeneration was observed at month 9. Extraocular muscle surgery should be planned if palsy does not resolve over a prolonged period of time...

A Case of Stereotactic Radiation in Skull Base Solitary Fibrous Tumor: More Harm Than Good?
Conclusions SFT often masquerades as schwannoma, especially in the skull base. Careful immunohistochemistry, including CD34 expression, is critical to the diagnosis and management. This case highlights that total tumor resection of SFT remains the gold standard of treatment. Stereotactic radiation is not recommended in the management of skull base SFT.[...]Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New YorkArticle in Thieme eJournals:Table of contents | Abstract | open access Full text (Source: Journal of Neurological Surgery Reports)

Conservative Healing of an 11 × 9-cm Aplasia Cutis Congenita of the Scalp with Bone Defect
Conclusion Surgical treatment is usually preferred for larger aplasia cutis congenita defects, but it is accompanied with potential risks and will exacerbate secondary reconstruction of alopecia or skull bone defects. This case shows that even very complex defects may be treated conservatively.[...]Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New YorkArticle in Thieme eJournals:Table of contents | Abstract | open access Full text (Source: Journal of Neurological Surgery Reports)

Trigeminal Neuralgia due to an Isolated Cerebral Varix: Case Report
We present an extremely rare case of trigeminal neuralgia caused by an isolated varix. A 55-year-old woman had been experiencing right trigeminal neuralgia for 3 years. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed an enhanced mass lesion on the root entry zone of the right trigeminal nerve. Angiograms confirmed the mass was a varix arising on the vein connecting the basal vein of Rosenthal and the superior petrosal vein. Preoperative three-dimensional (3D) imaging clearly depicted the anatomical relation of the varix, adjacent vessels, and trigeminal nerve, which helped plan operative procedures. The varix w...

Ruptured Internal Carotid Artery Aneurysm Presenting with Catastrophic Epistaxis after Repeated Stereotactic Radiotherapies for Anterior Skull Base Tumor: Case Reports and Review of the Literature
Conclusions This is a proven report of aneurysm formation following repeated SRT without conventional radiotherapy. SRT may be very effective to control malignant skull base tumors. However, the possible development of radiation-induced aneurysm of the ICA should be considered in the case of repeated SRT. The surviving patients who have received SRT should undergo sequential follow-up for possible vascular involvement.[...]Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New YorkArticle in Thieme eJournals:Table of contents | Abstract | open access Full text (Source: Journal of Neurological Surgery Reports)

Perianal Pain as a Presentation of Lumbosacral Neurofibroma: A Case Report
J Neurol Surg RepDOI: 10.1055/s-0033-1358793Rectal and perianal pain is a common problem. Most people have experienced it at least once in their lifetime. It usually manifests as mild discomfort, but sometimes the pain can be so severe that it is incapacitating. A 59-year-old woman admitted with a 2-year history of paroxysmal perianal pain underwent a full work-up including proctoscopy, sigmoidoscopy, full colonoscopy, and barium enema that were unremarkable. Lumbosacral magnetic resonance imaging with and without gadolinium showed an intradural-extramedullary lesion at the level of L5. The pathologic diagnosis was a neuro...
