Preliminary Report of Fully Endoscopic Microvascular Decompression
CONCLUSION: Fully E-MVD demonstrated similar clinical outcomes to microscopic MVD. It offered a similar complication rate, shorter operation time, and a panoramic view with a smaller craniectomy size. Although there is a learning curve associated with fully E-MVD, it presents a viable alternative in the endoscopic era.PMID:38583999 | DOI:10.3340/jkns.2024.0003 (Source: Journal of Korean Neurosurgical Society)

Clinical Features and Treatment of Pediatric Cerebral Cavernous Malformations
J Korean Neurosurg Soc. 2024 Mar 28. doi: 10.3340/jkns.2024.0047. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCerebral cavernous malformation (CCM) is a vascular anomaly commonly found in children and young adults. Common clinical presentations of pediatric patients with CCMs include headache, focal neurological deficits, and seizures. Approximately 40% of pediatric patients are asymptomatic. Understanding the natural history of CCM is crucial and hemorrhagic rates are higher in patients with an initial hemorrhagic presentation, whereas it is low in asymptomatic patients. There is a phenomenon known as temporal clustering in which a hig...
