Laser interstitial thermal therapy for new and recurrent meningioma: a prospective and retrospective case series
CONCLUSIONS: This cohort study supports the safety of the procedure for this tumor type. LITT can offer a much-needed treatment option, especially for patients with multiply recurrent meningiomas who have limited remaining alternatives.PMID:38457795 | DOI:10.3171/2023.12.JNS231542 (Source: Journal of Neurosurgery)

The role of medical illustration in the evolution of transsphenoidal pituitary surgery
J Neurosurg. 2024 Mar 8:1-9. doi: 10.3171/2024.1.JNS231985. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMedical illustration played a crucial, yet often overlooked, role in the evolution of pituitary surgery. From the late 1800s to the present, many preeminent surgeons, in partnership with their surgical illustrator collaborators, developed and then shifted the paradigm of pituitary surgery, from an open procedure with high mortality and morbidity, to an endonasal approach with high success rates that is widely utilized today. This work aims to highlight the role of surgical illustrators as partners to their physician colleagues, creati...

The natural history of aneurysms incompletely occluded by placement of a flow diverter: a multiinstitutional study
CONCLUSIONS: Aneurysms that have been incompletely treated by flow diversion have a benign natural history with progression toward occlusion over time, with or without retreatment.PMID:38457799 | DOI:10.3171/2023.12.JNS232221 (Source: Journal of Neurosurgery)

Preclinical assessment of a noncooled MR thermometry-based neurosurgical laser therapy system
CONCLUSIONS: This preclinical assessment showed that the noncooled LITT system was able to precisely reach the target and create well-defined lesions within a margin of safety, without any adverse effects. MR thermometry software provided an accurate near-real-time temperature of the brain tissue, and dimensions of the lesion as visualized by the software correlated well with histopathological findings. Further studies to test the system's efficacy and safety in human subjects are in progress.PMID:38457800 | DOI:10.3171/2023.12.JNS232154 (Source: Journal of Neurosurgery)
