Post-COVID-19 Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome-Related Cerebral Infarction in a Pediatric Patient Managed with Decompressive Craniectomy
Conclusion: Though rare in children, SARS-CoV-2 can lead to AIS, especially in the presence of underlying risk factors such as MIS-C and hypercoagulopathy. AIS can be associated with severe mortality and morbidity; however, even in this severe case of AIS, the patient was successfully treated with a decompressive craniectomy.Pediatr Neurosurg (Source: Pediatric Neurosurgery)

Post Covid-19 MIS-C Related Cerebral Infarction in a Pediatric Patient Managed with Decompressive Craniectomy
Most people who are infected with the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) are asymptomatic or present with mild upper respiratory symptoms. This is especially true in the pediatric population; however, rarely, a massive cytokine storm can develop causing multisystem inflammatory syndrome associated with COVID (MIS-C). Furthermore, children may also suffer from acute ischemic strokes secondary to SARS-CoV-2 infection. Here, we present a 2-year-old male who was admitted to the hospital with MIS-C and evidence of a previous SARS-CoV-2 infection. On post-admission day 2, the patient was in cardio...

Behavioral Improvements following Lesion Resection for Pediatric Epilepsy: Pediatric Psychosurgery?
Conclusion: We identified 5 patients with severe behavioral disorders in the setting of lesional epilepsy, all of whom demonstrated improvement after surgery. The degree of behavioral abnormality was disproportionate to epilepsy severity, suggesting a more complicated mechanism by which lesional epilepsy impacts behavior. We propose a novel paradigm in which lesionectomy may offer behavioral benefit even when seizures are not refractory. Thus, behavioral improvement may be an important novel goal for neurosurgical resection in children with epileptic brain lesions.Pediatr Neurosurg (Source: Pediatric Neurosurgery)

Delayed Migration of Onyx Embolic Agent after Preoperative Embolization of an Arteriovenous Malformation in a Pediatric Patient: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
Conclusion: Our report and literature review demonstrate that while the delayed, unexpected migration of Onyx embolic material has been alluded to in a handful of papers, this phenomenon is not well documented. Future research is needed to understand the frequency of delayed Onyx migration from brain AVMs and the possible clinical presentations to look for. The sudden development of headaches and other signs of perilesional edema, in particular, should prompt repeat angiographic examination due to the possibility of delayed liquid embolic migration.Pediatr Neurosurg (Source: Pediatric Neurosurgery)

Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy with Choroid Plexus Cauterization in Infantile Hydrocephalus: An Experience from Mali
Conclusion: In a low-income environment such as Mali, ETV/CPC stands as a viable and alternative treatment option for pediatric hydrocephalus patients; our findings suggest that age is an important factor in predicting ETV success. (Source: Pediatric Neurosurgery)

Endoscopic third ventriculostomy with choroid plexus cauterization in treating infantile hydrocephalus: an experience from Mali.
ABSTRACT
Introduction
Pediatric Hydrocephalus is a common disease in sub-Saharan Africa. In Mali, 350-400 new cases are diagnosed in our center yearly. With a total land mass of 1.241.000 km2, patients in remote areas must travel up to 1500km to access neurosurgical care. Hence, treatment and follow-ups of “shunted” patients are difficult. In this context, endoscopic third ventriculostomy with choroid plexus cauterization (ETV/CPC) provides an opportunity for an affordable and less-constraining treatment for hydrocephalus children under 12 months of age.
Methods
We performed a retrospective analy sis of ETV/CPC per...
