Combined endoscopic transorbital and transnasal approach for the management of a solitary plasmacytoma of the sphenoid bone: A case report and literature review
CONCLUSION: Surgical resection and radiotherapy may achieve remission of these lesions; however, recurrence rates remain high despite any treatment modality. Patients with this condition must be followed up with a multidisciplinary team due to the high risk of multiple myeloma progression.PMID:38468666 | PMC:PMC10927175 | DOI:10.25259/SNI_915_2023 (Source: Surgical Neurology International)

Traumatic penetrating head injury by crossbow projectiles: A case report and literature review
CONCLUSION: A thorough assessment in a multidisciplinary trauma center and the availability of a subspecialty care team, including neurosurgery and otolaryngology, are paramount in such cases. The vascular imaging should be done before and after any planned surgical intervention. Emergent and elective surgical airway management should be considered and made available throughout the stabilization and care of the acute injury. Surgical management should be planned to remove the object with adequate exposure to facilitate visualization, removal, and the possible need for further intervention, including anticipating aerodigest...

Trigeminal neuralgia secondary to epidermoid cyst and neurovascular conflict: An illustrative case with literature review
CONCLUSION: TN secondary to EC in association with a NVC is a rare phenomenon, due to the growth pattern of the EC. TN may remit if an appropriate treatment is carried out. In cases of NVC, an MVD is required apart from an appropriate resection to achieve pain relief.PMID:38468668 | PMC:PMC10927216 | DOI:10.25259/SNI_925_2023 (Source: Surgical Neurology International)

Middle meningeal artery arising from the petrous internal carotid artery: Outcome of unusual stapedial artery regression
CONCLUSION: Embryologically, this variant anatomy signifies an atypical regression of the distal stapedial artery and its connection to the external carotid artery. Surgeons who operate on the skull base, vascular interventionalists, and radiologists should be aware of this potential anatomical variation of the skull base.PMID:38468670 | PMC:PMC10927193 | DOI:10.25259/SNI_962_2023 (Source: Surgical Neurology International)
