A computed tomography (CT)-based morphometric study of various skull base parameters and their anatomical relationships relevant to endoscopic endonasal skull base surgery
CONCLUSION: The results of our study can be utilized for a better understanding of the anatomy of the skull base. In skull base pathologies with distorted anatomical landmarks, a basic understanding of their interrelations can be used to have a better anatomical orientation. All these measures can help in avoiding complications and make extended endoscopic approaches safe.PMID:38468683 | PMC:PMC10927203 | DOI:10.25259/SNI_1010_2023 (Source: Surgical Neurology International)

Fungal symptomatic intracranial aneurysm treated with a flow diverting stent: A case report
CONCLUSION: IIAs grow rapidly, and the risk of rupture is high due to the weakening of the aneurysmal wall. To reduce the risks of rupture and recurrence after treatment, the infection should be treated before inserting a flow-diverting stent. Flow-diverting stent placement may be an effective treatment for IIA once the original infection has been cured.PMID:38468648 | PMC:PMC10927200 | DOI:10.25259/SNI_942_2023 (Source: Surgical Neurology International)
