Prominent Neurosurgery Books: How they Defined the Era of Modern Neurosurgery in the 19th Century
CONCLUSIONS: Due to the advancements in patient care, anesthesia and sterile techniques, surgical medical branches showed rapid development in the 1800s. During this period, cerebral localization concept changed the comprehension and approach in neurosurgery and opened the gate of a new era in the field of neurological surgery unlike other branches and helped to establish modern neurosurgery. 19th century surgeons became able to operate on more complex cases with more advanced techniques. Knowledge of published pioneer papers and books help understanding of emergence of neurological surgery as a separate discipline.PMID:38...

Coil embolization of the azygos anterior cerebral artery aneurysm: Three case reports
We report three cases of coil embolization for distal ACA aneurysms with distal azygos ACA at our institution in 7 years. All patients were over 65-year-old women with saccular aneurysms larger than 7 mm; two with subarachnoid hemorrhage and one with an unruptured aneurysm. No patient had surgical complications associated with coil embolization. Coil embolization is also useful for large aneurysms in the distal azygos ACA, and its indication for treatment could be broadened.PMID:38650562 | DOI:10.5137/1019-5149.JTN.44130-23.1 (Source: Turkish Neurosurgery)

Comparison Between Intraoperative Target Area CementEnhanced Percutaneous Vertebroplasty and Conventional Percutaneous Vertebroplasty for Osteoporotic Thoracolumbar Non-Total Vertebral Fractures
CONCLUSION: Target area cement-enhanced PVP can effectively relieve short-term pain and functional disability and reduce the long-term possibility of secondary collapse. Therefore, it is a technically feasible and efficacious method for the treatment of osteoporotic thoracolumbar non-total vertebral fractures.PMID:38650561 | DOI:10.5137/1019-5149.JTN.43749-23.2 (Source: Turkish Neurosurgery)

Non-Detection of HCMV Total Genomic DNA in Human Glioma Cells Genome
CONCLUSION: We found that the genomic DNA of all the samples was negative for HCMV genomic DNA. Thus, HCMV could not be detected in human glioma tumors and we put forward that HCMV genomic DNA was not incorporated into the genomic DNA of glioma cells. Thus, total viral DNA is not involved in the pathogenesis of glioma; however, small viral particles or specific genes might be incorporated into the genomic DNA of glioma cells, leading to cancer development. This prompts further studies for verification.PMID:38650560 | DOI:10.5137/1019-5149.JTN.42717-22.1 (Source: Turkish Neurosurgery)

Primary afferents of trigeminal autonomic reflex may not be nociceptive: A case report

Systematic review of treatment for unruptured intracranial aneurysms: clipping vs coiling
CONCLUSION: The study showed that coiling was associated with a lower occlusion rate, shorter hospital stay, lower bleeding risk, and lower short-term mortality and morbidity compared to clipping. In terms of ischemia risk, 1 year mortality and morbidity, coiling and clipping bear similar risk. We suppose that clipping may have a better outcome than coiling in the long term especially for young patients. Further research is needed to confirm our conclusion.PMID:38650551 | DOI:10.5137/1019-5149.JTN.23729-18.1 (Source: Turkish Neurosurgery)

Prognostic Factors of Spinal Intramedullary Hemangioblastoma : Analysis of Surgical Outcomes and Tumor Characteristics
CONCLUSION: In intramedullary spinal cord hemangioblastomas, cases located ventrally had a higher incidence of neurological deterioration following surgery than those located dorsally or in intramedullary extramedullary cases. Ventrally located hemangioblastomas were larger than those in other locations. They were mainly supplied by the anterior spinal artery in VHL patients.PMID:38650430 | DOI:10.3340/jkns.2023.0221 (Source: Journal of Korean Neurosurgical Society)
