Comparing redo surgery and stereotactic radiosurgery for recurrent, residual, and/or tumors showing progression in nonfunctioning pituitary adenomas: A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: Redo surgery is the superior choice in the treatment of recurrent/residual or progressing NFPAs if the tumor size is large and an immediate reduction in tumor burden through debulking is warranted. However, redo surgery is associated with a higher risk of visual loss, new endocrinopathies, and other complications, in contrast to SRS.PMID:38468659 | PMC:PMC10927195 | DOI:10.25259/SNI_907_2023 (Source: Surgical Neurology International)

Perspective: Operate on lumbar synovial cysts and avoid ineffective percutaneous techniques
CONCLUSIONS: Symptomatic LSC are best managed with direct or even partial operative resection/decompression with/without fusion. The use of varying percutaneous techniques classically fails, and increases multiple perioperative risks.PMID:38468664 | PMC:PMC10927199 | DOI:10.25259/SNI_95_2024 (Source: Surgical Neurology International)

The start-up of a neurosurgical service in an East Indonesian archipelagic province: The first 2-year experience of North Maluku Database in Neurosurgery (NOMADEN)
CONCLUSION: A large portion of neurosurgical patients in North Maluku were those young and at productive age who were transported from outside Ternate with acute neurological disease (particularly neurotrauma). Distance and geographical circumstances may have a profound effect on access to neurosurgical services.PMID:38468665 | PMC:PMC10927227 | DOI:10.25259/SNI_1026_2023 (Source: Surgical Neurology International)

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)

Inferior temporal quadrantanopia associated with pituitary adenomas and a potential mechanism of excessive optic nerve bending
CONCLUSION: In some pituitary adenomas, visual field defects begin inferiorly. This may be caused by optic nerve compression on the superior surface by the bony margin of the optic canal exit. Therefore, pituitary adenomas should be considered in patients with atypical visual field defects.PMID:38468671 | PMC:PMC10927194 | DOI:10.25259/SNI_909_2023 (Source: Surgical Neurology International)
