Retreatment of Residual and Recurrent Aneurysms After Embolization With the Woven EndoBridge Device: Multicenter Case Series
CONCLUSION:
WEB retreatments were successfully performed by a variety of techniques, including stent-assisted coiling, clipping, and flow diversion as the most common. These procedures were performed safely with subsequent obliteration of most aneurysms. The potential need for retreatment of aneurysms should be considered during primary WEB treatments.

Treatment Strategies for Different Types of Intraneural Offending Vessels in Microvascular Decompression Surgery for Trigeminal Neuralgia: An Analytic Report of 58 Cases
CONCLUSION:
Intraneural offending vessels requiring treatment are uncommon and are seen in less than 1 in 10 patients undergoing MVD for TGN. For intraneural offending artery, decompression by shredded Teflon wrapping interposition is recommended. Management of the INOV depends on the individual situations, and the management includes sacrifice, wrapping decompression, or leaving them untreated. (Source: Neurosurgery)

External Validation of a Neural Network Model in Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: A Comparison With Conventional Logistic Regression Models
BACKGROUND:
Interest in machine learning (ML)–based predictive modeling has led to the development of models predicting outcomes after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), including the Nijmegen acute subarachnoid hemorrhage calculator (Nutshell). Generalizability of such models to external data remains unclear.
OBJECTIVE:
To externally validate the performance of the Nutshell tool while comparing it with the conventional Subarachnoid Hemorrhage International Trialists (SAHIT) models and to review the ML literature on outcome prediction after aSAH and aneurysm treatment.
METHODS:
A prospectively m...

Age-Related Recovery of Daily Living Activity After 1-Stage Complete Corpus Callosotomy: A Retrospective Analysis of 41 Cases
This study included 41 patients (22 women; aged 13 months-34 years, median 7 years) who underwent 1-stage complete CC for medically intractable seizures with drop attacks, infantile spasms, and/or bilaterally synchronized electroencephalographic discharges between August 2009 and April 2019. The timing of restart of competence in 5 ADL categories and surgical outcomes were recorded.
RESULTS:
Patients (1) restarted speech at 2.2 ± 1.3 (mean ± 2 standard deviations; range 1-5) days, (2) restarted replying with their own name on request at 5.5 ± 8.6 (2-33) days, (3) restarted oral intake at 1.6 ± 1.7 (1-11) days, (...
