Transcranial MR-Guided Focused Ultrasound and Hyperostosis Calvariae Diffusa: Case Report and Systematic Review of the Literature
We describe a 74-year-old male with intractable essential tremor (ET) and hyperostosis calvariae diffusa who was unsuccessfully treated with magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS). A computed tomography performed prior to the procedure demonstrated a skull density ratio (SDR) of 0.37 and tricortical hyperostosis calvariae diffusa. No lesion was evident on post-MRgFUS MRI, and no improvement in the patient ’s hand tremor was noted clinically. We systematically reviewed the literature to understand outcomes for those patients with hyperostosis who have undergone MRgFUS. A comprehensive literature search usin...

Aligning Dentato-Rubro-Thalamic Tract and Subthalamic Nucleus Targets in a Patient with Comorbid Essential Tremor and Parkinson ’s Disease: Case Report
We present a patient with comorbid ET and PD in whom we used bilaterally a single parietal traje ctory to align the dentato-rubro-thalamic tract and the subthalamic nucleus. Although parietal trajectories are challenging, we reached satisfactory outcomes for both conditions without complications. Single-electrode deep brain stimulation of the dentato-rubro-thalamic tract and the subthalamic nuc leus through a parietal approach may represent a feasible treatment option in this patient group.Stereotact Funct Neurosurg 2022;100:340 –345 (Source: Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery)

Long-Term Follow-Up on Bilateral Posterior Hypothalamic Deep Brain Stimulation for Treating Refractory Aggressive Behavior in a Patient with Cri du Chat Syndrome: Analysis of Clinical Data, Intraoperative Microdialysis, and Imaging Connectomics
Posterior hypothalamic-deep brain stimulation (pHyp-DBS) has been reported as a successful treatment for reducing refractory aggressive behaviors in patients with distinct primary diagnoses. Here, we report on a patient with cri du chat syndrome presenting severe self-injury and aggressive behaviors toward others, who was treated with pHyp-DBS. Positive results were observed at long-term follow-up in aggressive behavior and quality of life. Intraoperative microdialysis and imaging connectomics analysis were performed to investigate possible mechanisms of action. Our results suggest the involvement of limbic and motor areas...

MRI Changes in Failed Radiosurgery for Vestibular Schwannomas
Conclusion: Tumor volume reduction and central loss of contrast enhancement of the tumor are MRI changes frequently observed during follow-up of VS treated radiosurgically even in patients with failed long-term tumor control and may therefore not be considered as signs of successful response of the tumor to the radiosurgical treatment.Stereotact Funct Neurosurg (Source: Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery)

Cerebellar Cortex Stimulation for Acquired Dystonia: A Case Report and Review of Its Role in Modern Surgical Practice
We present the case of a patient with generalized dystonia due to dyskinetic CP who was successfully treated with stimulation of the cerebellar cortex in the modern era. We also review the evidence underpinning targeting of the cerebellum in surgical therapy for dystonia and examine the latest reports of this approach in the surgical literature.Summary: The patient derived significant improvement in the control of her dystonic symptoms, with a reduction in her BFMDRS score from 83 to 25. No complications were observed during more than 3 years of postoperative follow-up. Since the turn of the 21st century, there have been o...
