Surgical Approaches to Resection of Olfactory Groove Meningiomas: Comparative Meta-analysis of the Endoscopic Endonasal versus Transcranial and Unilateral versus Bilateral Approaches
Conclusions Though the literature is limited, current evidence suggests that the endoscopic endonasal approach may be favorable over conventional craniotomy for select olfactory groove meningioma patients. Where craniotomy is used, unilateral approaches appear to reduce complications and the risk of olfaction loss.

Recurrence of Resected Skull Base Meningiomas during Long-term Follow-up: Incidence and Predisposing Factors
Conclusion Surgically resected SBMs are associated with a significant recurrence rate during prolonged follow-up, irrespective of the extent of resection achieved. We recommend a prolonged period of radiological surveillance for SBM following surgical resection.

Supraorbital Keyhole Approach: Opening of the Frontal Sinus and Cerebrospinal Fluid Rhinorrhea
Conclusion: SOKHA is an excellent approach for anterior cranial fossa lesions especially with properly chosen cases. Incidence of CSF leak in our study is 1.1% and majority can be managed by placement of lumbar drain. Intraoperative obliteration of the frontal sinus can reduce the risk of postoperative CSF leak. A large frontal sinus needs not be a contraindication for SOKHA.

Nuanced Management of a Skull Base Tumor in the Setting of Relapsed Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
We report the significant effect of chemotherapy and radiotherapy in reducing the size of the extensive skull base lesion, saving the patient from the risks associated with surgery. This patient's initial relapse, with a large skull base lesion that had intracranial involvement, is an unusual presentation of relapsed ALL. The additional early recurrence of leptomeningeal disease further makes this case unique and the management even more nuanced. Here, we demonstrate a multidisciplinary approach for the successful treatment of our patient, which can help guide the management of similar patients in the future. [...] Georg T...

Quantitative Analysis of the Supraorbital, Transorbital Microscopic, and Transorbital Neuroendoscopic Approaches to the Anterior Skull Base and Paramedian Vasculature
Conclusion SOC provides superior surgical freedom for targets that require more lateral maneuverability, but the transorbital corridor is an option for accessing the frontal lobe base and terminal ICA. Instrument freedom differs quantifiably between the microscope and endoscope. A combined visualization strategy is optimal for the transorbital corridor.

New-onset psychogenic nonepileptic seizures after intracranial neurosurgery: a meta-analysis
Functional neurological symptom disorder refers to a state in which the normal functioning of brain networks is affected, rather than any structural abnormalities. One of its manifestations is a condition termed psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES), also known as functional or dissociative seizures [1]. These seizures are characterized by clinically similar events to epileptic seizures, although they do not have characteristically abnormal ictal electroencephalogram activities [2], which supports the theory that their occurrences are psychological in nature rather than epileptic.

Conclusion This study represents one of the largest long-term analyses of outcomes by a single team. Our specific protocol for the endoscopic endonasal repair of anterior skull base MECs and CSF leaks is safe and effective. These patients should be evaluated and treated for elevated intracranial pressure following the repair.

Low-/Negative-Pressure Hydrocephalus: To Understand the Formation Mechanism from the Perspective of Clinicians
J Neurol Surg A Cent Eur Neurosurg DOI: 10.1055/s-0044-1785671Low-/negative-pressure hydrocephalus (LPH/NePH) is uncommon in clinical practice, and doctors are unfamiliar with it. LPH/NePH is frequently caused by other central nervous system diseases, and patients are frequently misdiagnosed with other types of hydrocephalus, resulting in delayed treatment. LPH/NePH therapy evolved to therapeutic measures based on “external ventricular drainage below atmospheric pressure” as the number of patients with LPH/NePH described in the literature has increased. However, the mechanism of LPH/NePH formation is unknown. Thus, und...
