Bilateral spheno-orbital meningiomas: surgical management, progression, and recurrence
CONCLUSIONS: Bilateral SOMs are usually found in female patients and are strongly associated with hormone replacement therapy. Early surgical management with gross-total resection is the most effective treatment in terms of recurrence and improves visual acuity. Given the slow progressive nature of bSOMs and their time to recurrence, which can be up to 10 years, long-term follow-up of patients is essential.PMID:38626467 | DOI:10.3171/2024.1.JNS232406 (Source: Journal of Neurosurgery)

Industry payments to academic neurosurgeons in 2021: an open payments cross-sectional analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Neurosurgery has been rated by many as a field fueled by research, innovation, and technology. In 2021, academic neurosurgeons had a strong relationship with the medical device and pharmaceutical industry as reflected in the OPP data. While the true impact on patient care cannot be directly measured, the advancement of the field relies heavily on these collaborations.PMID:38626469 | DOI:10.3171/2024.1.JNS232321 (Source: Journal of Neurosurgery)

An intraoperative accelerometry and real-time analysis tool for magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound thalamotomy
J Neurosurg. 2024 Apr 19:1-8. doi: 10.3171/2024.1.JNS231830. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMagnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) is one of the newest surgical treatments for essential tremor (ET). During this procedure, a lesion is created within the thalamus to mitigate tremor. Targeting is done using a combination of stereotaxy, MR tractography, and sublesional heating, with tremor assessed during the procedure to gauge therapeutic effectiveness. Currently, tremor assessments are done qualitatively, but this approach requires the tremor change to be above a subjective threshold and provides no objective r...

Improvement of diffusion tensor imaging-based tractography by free-water correction in nonedematous gliomas: assessment with brain mapping
CONCLUSIONS: Free-water correction significantly increased the anatomical plausibility of the stimulated fascicles and the volume of tracts of interest in the peritumoral area of purely infiltrative nonedematous gliomas. Because of the functional importance of the peritumoral zone, applying FERNET to DTI could have potential implications on surgical planning and the safety of glioma resection.PMID:38626474 | DOI:10.3171/2024.1.JNS23568 (Source: Journal of Neurosurgery)

Management of moyamoya disease: a review of current and future therapeutic strategies
J Neurosurg. 2024 Apr 19:1-8. doi: 10.3171/2024.1.JNS221977. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMoyamoya disease (MMD) is characterized by idiopathic, progressive stenosis of the circle of Willis and the terminal portion of the internal carotid arteries with the development of prominent small collateral vessels and a characteristic moyamoya or puff-of-smoke radiographic appearance. The incidence and prevalence of MMD varies by region, age, and sex, with higher rates in Asian and East Asian populations compared to North American or European populations. There is a bimodal distribution of patients diagnosed with MMD. Pediatric pa...

How should visual function monitoring be performed and interpreted in surgery for suprasellar tumors?
CONCLUSIONS: OFR has a diagnostic element in the visual field, in which the maximal potential was recorded on the opposite side of the stimulus with monocular stimulation. Unambiguous determination required stimulation of different intensities in both eyes or 1 eye and multiple recording electrodes placed in the occiput. Monitoring the OFR provides real-time alerts, making it a valuable tool for visual function evaluation in suprasellar surgery.PMID:38608298 | DOI:10.3171/2024.1.JNS232118 (Source: Journal of Neurosurgery)

Use of circulating tumor cells and microemboli to predict diagnosis and prognosis in diffuse glioma
CONCLUSIONS: The authors revealed a correlation between CTCs and clinical characteristics and demonstrated that CTCs and CTMs are independent predictors for the diagnosis and prognosis of diffuse glioma. Their CTC- and CTM-based survival models can enable clinicians to evaluate patients' response to surgery as well as their outcomes.PMID:38608304 | DOI:10.3171/2024.1.JNS232020 (Source: Journal of Neurosurgery)

Unplanned returns to the operating room: a quality improvement methodology for the comparison of institutional outcomes to national benchmarks
CONCLUSIONS: Using an institutional documentation tool and a widely available national database, the authors developed a reproducible and standardized method of comparing their department's outcomes with national benchmarks per procedure subgroup. This methodology accommodates longitudinal quality surveillance across the different subspecialties in a neurosurgical department and may illuminate potential shortcomings of care delivery in the future.PMID:38608305 | DOI:10.3171/2024.1.JNS221492 (Source: Journal of Neurosurgery)
