Analysis of prognostic factors and the role of epilepsy in neurosurgical patients with brain metastases
CONCLUSION: Our study has highlighted prognostically favorable patient and tumor factors. Among those, a clinical onset with epileptic seizures can help identify brain metastasis hitherto silent. This could lead to immediate diagnostic-therapeutic interventions with more aggressive therapies after appropriate multidisciplinary evaluation.PMID:38628515 | PMC:PMC11021078 | DOI:10.25259/SNI_735_2023 (Source: Surgical Neurology International)

Secondary normal pressure hydrocephalus following pituitary apoplexy: A case report

Airway risk associated with patients in halo fixation
CONCLUSION: The failed intubation and airway-related mortality rates of patients in halo fixation were substantial in this study. This finding suggests that the halo device itself may present a major obstacle in airway management. Therefore, heightened vigilance is appropriate for intubations of patients in halo fixation.PMID:38628525 | PMC:PMC11021081 | DOI:10.25259/SNI_386_2023 (Source: Surgical Neurology International)

Rare vermian pilocytic astrocytoma with recurrent spontaneous hemorrhage in the elderly: A case report and review of literature
CONCLUSION: PA in the elderly is a rare disease with distinct histologic and genetic peculiarities. This case review showed one of the oldest cases of cerebellar vermian PA presenting with recurrent spontaneous intratumoral hemorrhage, an extremely rare occurrence in benign glioma. Although complete surgical excision is recommended, partial resection is advocated for morbidly adherent tumors. Overall prognosis is worse in elderly PA.PMID:38628526 | PMC:PMC11021065 | DOI:10.25259/SNI_978_2023 (Source: Surgical Neurology International)

Aortoiliac occlusion mimicking cauda equina syndrome, a diagnostic dilemma: A case report and review of the literature
CONCLUSION: For patients presenting with cauda equina symptomatology, it is critical to consider vascular etiology, especially for those with cardiovascular risk factors. Spine surgeons and emergency physicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for vascular etiologies and consider appropriate imaging studies to promote early diagnosis and intervention to prevent subsequent neurological and life-threatening consequences.PMID:38628528 | PMC:PMC11021084 | DOI:10.25259/SNI_1011_2023 (Source: Surgical Neurology International)
