The Loss of 1p as a Reliable Marker of Progression in a Child with Aggressive Meningioma: A 16-Year Follow-Up Case Report
Conclusions: Genetic characteristics seem to be very stable during progression of the disease. The loss of 1p represents to be a potential marker for the poor clinical course of our child meningioma. In 2019, our patient passed away due to the progress of her meningioma disease.Pediatr Neurosurg (Source: Pediatric Neurosurgery)

Can the Human Tail Cause Arteriovenous Hemangioma?
Conclusion: Our patient presented with the classic “human tail” appearance at an early age and in the lumbosacral region. Because of the pathological findings, surgery for the congenital anomaly had to be performed with extra caution.Pediatr Neurosurg (Source: Pediatric Neurosurgery)

Radiation-Associated Glioblastoma after Prophylactic Cranial Irradiation in a Patient of ALL: Review of Literature and Report of a Rare Case
Conclusion: RIMG is an aggressive malignancy with a dismal prognosis, and in spite of multimodality management, it exhibits relentless progression, occasionally characterized by subependymal and leptomeningeal dissemination, leading to eventual death within a year of diagnosis.Pediatr Neurosurg (Source: Pediatric Neurosurgery)

Congenital Dermal Sinus Elements in Each Tethering Stalk of Coexisting Thoracic Limited Dorsal Myeloschisis and Retained Medullary Cord
Conclusion: Surgeons should be aware that CDS elements, in addition to LDM, may coexist with RMC that extends out to the extradural space.Pediatr Neurosurg (Source: Pediatric Neurosurgery)

Unusual Case of Posterior Fossa Extradural Hematoma in a Child: Review of the Literature
Conclusion: Accurate anamnestic records, especially in pediatric patients, prevent from misleading clinic and neurological presentation. Brain CT scan is an indispensable diagnostic tool in order to promptly recognize and treat PFEH considering that rapid cognitive impairment of patients raises the risk of mortality and morbidity.Pediatr Neurosurg (Source: Pediatric Neurosurgery)

Dual Myelomeningoceles in Twins: Case Report, Review, and Insights for Etiology
We present the 24th pair, the 1st to maintain lower extremity motor function. We review all prior cases and discuss implications of twin concordance on the interplay of genetic and environmental influences.Case Report and Review: A new case of female monozygotic twins born to a well-nourished 24-year-old female is reported with details of perioperative care. Prenatal ultrasound showed L3-S4 and L5-S4 myelomeningoceles, Chiari II malformations, and ventriculomegaly. Copy number microarray was unrevealing. Each underwent uncomplicated repair on day of life 1, and ventriculoperitoneal shunt placement on days of life 10 and 16...

Awake Mapping of the Auditory Cortex during Tumor Resection in an Aspiring Musical Performer: A Case Report
Conclusion: A novel strategy for performing an awake craniotomy, incorporating preoperative fMRI data for music processing with intraoperative cortical stimulation, interpreted with the assistance of a musician expert and facilitated gross total resection of the patient ’s tumor without comprising her musical abilities.Pediatr Neurosurg (Source: Pediatric Neurosurgery)

Superior Hypophyseal Artery Ruptured Aneurysm in a 5-Month-Old Child Presenting as an Acute Subdural Hematoma: A Case Report
Conclusion: Surgical management seems to be a better option in this subgroup of patients given the long life expectancy and durability of microsurgical clip ligation. We believe that our brief case report would add some insight into the management of this rare subgroup of patients, leading to better decision-making and outcome.Pediatr Neurosurg (Source: Pediatric Neurosurgery)

Radiological and Immunostaining Characteristics of H3.3 G34R-Mutant Glioma: A Report of 3 Cases and Review of the Literature
Conclusion: Radiological and immunostaining findings are characteristic in our 3 cases of H3.3 G34-mutant glioma. It is essential to consider H3.3 G34-mutant glioma as a differential diagnosis particularly in pediatric and adolescents and young adult hemispheric tumors.Pediatr Neurosurg (Source: Pediatric Neurosurgery)

Infantile Atypical Teratoid Rhabdoid Tumor of the Spine Presenting with Acute Hydrocephalus
Conclusions: In infants presenting with acute hydrocephalus where an obvious intracranial cause is not detected, the whole neuraxis should be screened. However, despite aggressive measures and advances in multimodality treatment, prognosis of ATRT remains dismal.Pediatr Neurosurg (Source: Pediatric Neurosurgery)

Pediatric Orbital Roof Intradiploic Meningioma Operated by Eyebrow Incision
Conclusion: In cranial oncologic surgery, lesion localization and possible pathological diagnosis are essential for the determination of the correct surgical technique. In particular, in pediatric cases, selecting a method that will reduce the need for transfusion, shorten the surgical time, minimize the chances of facial deformity, and facilitate postoperative care will ensure compliance with the correct and appropriate treatment process.Pediatr Neurosurg (Source: Pediatric Neurosurgery)

The Use of 5-Aminolevulinic Acid to Assist Gross Total Resection of Paediatric Posterior Fossa Tumours
Conclusion: This case series adds to the growing body of evidence demonstrating the safety of 5-ALA in the paediatric population. 5-ALA guided resection was found to be useful in the majority of cases but this did not correlate with GTR status. Ependymomas reliably fluoresce in 90% of cases, and 5-ALA-guided resection should be considered when a preoperative diagnosis of ependymoma is suspected.Pediatr Neurosurg (Source: Pediatric Neurosurgery)
