Effect of different positive end expiratory pressure levels on optic nerve sheath diameter in patients with or without midline shift who are undergoing supratentorial craniotomy
ConclusionsThe ONSD in adults undergoing supratentorial tumor craniotomy, PEEP values up to 5 cmH2O, appears not to be associated with an ICP increase; however, the ONSD exceeded the cutoff for increased ICP when a PEEP of 10 cmH2O was applied in patients with midline shift.

Successful adaptation of twinning concept for global neurosurgery collaborations —a validation study
ConclusionThis study validated the use of the INTIMA model previously described in a mission by Swedish African Neurosurgical Collaboration (SANC). The model is sustainable and produces notable results. The core strength of the model is in the multidisciplinary team securing all the aspects and steps of the neurosurgical care. Installation of an operating microscope opened for further microsurgical possibilities, improving the neurosurgical care in The Gambia. (Source: Acta Neurochirurgica)

The effect of COVID-19 on pain control in patients with a neurostimulator in situ- a retrospective study
ConclusionsInfection with SARS-CoV-2, in a significant proportion of patients with an SCS in situ, causes at least a transient deterioration in pain control. Further prospective multicentre studies are indicated to establish the prevalence of this phenomenon. (Source: Acta Neurochirurgica)

Changes in treatment of intracranial aneurysms during the last decade in a large European neurovascular center
ConclusionA significant shift of the treatment modality from surgical to endovascular treatment occurred for all aneurysm locations except for middle cerebral artery aneurysms. Whether this shift has affected long-term safety and patient outcomes should be assessed in the future. (Source: Acta Neurochirurgica)

A realistic aneurysm clipping simulation combining 3D-printed and placenta-based models —how I do it
ConclusionOur neurovascular surgical station bridges the gap between existing training models, offering affordability, ecological considerations, and minimal ethical concerns. It empowers neurosurgery residents to refine their skills in handling both emergencies and elective cases under close-to-real surgical conditions, with the potential for independent practice and senior supervision.

Perifocal edema is a risk factor for preoperative seizures in patients with meningioma WHO grade 2 and 3
ConclusionsPreoperative seizures were frequently encountered in about every third patient with meningioma WHO grade 2 or 3. Patients presenting with peritumoral edema on preoperative imaging are at particular risk for developing tumor-related seizures. Tumor resection was highly effective in achieving seizure freedom.
