Benign peripheral nerve sheath tumors (BPNSTs) include schwannomas and neurofibromas. About 10% of soft tissue sarcomas are malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs), which are invasive and aggressive ...
Cavernous malformations can occur throughout the cerebral nervous system, most commonly located in the supratentorial compartment. The intramedullary location is rare and accounts for approximately 2.4% to 5% ...
Refractory chronic craniofacial pain is a debilitating condition with limited treatment options. This case report presents the use of percutaneous computed tomography-guided trigeminal tractotomy-nucleotomy un...
There were no previous studies discussing the comparison of the complications among traumatic brain injury (TBI) cases during weekdays and weekends. The current study aims to retrospectively compare the TBI ou...
Percutaneous transpedicular screw fixation was recently introduced as a minimally invasive approach for the treatment of thoracolumbar spine fracture. This approach is superior to the traditional open surgical...
Cavernomas or cavernous malformations of the central nervous system are acquired or hereditary vascular anomalies. Although they are present in 0.1–0.5% in the general population, they are usually asymptomatic...
Computed tomography (CT) can be a substantial source of guiding lights during the early postoperative hours in traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients. However, controversy still exists regarding: What is the ap...
Expected operative challenges in minimally invasive spine surgeries as a result of restricted surgical field, unfamiliarity with surgical approaches and fear of complications are behind the preference of using...
Neurosurgical management of older patients is very complex and delicate; efforts are being made in identifying groups of older patients at risk of poor surgical outcomes before the surgery, making frailty an i...
Insular gliomas’ management challenges are attributed to their complex shape, proximity to critical vasculature, and organization. However, cytoreductive surgery's role in maximal extent of resection (EOR) imp...
Chiari syndrome is a very rare cause of secondary trigeminal neuralgia (TN). There are a few cases of TN associated with Chiari syndrome in the literature, and all of these cases were reported as Chiari type 1...
Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) or traumatic myelopathy is a devastating neurological condition and a heavy burden on the health system. There are inflammatory and structural biomarkers with well-defined pr...

Ghost tumors spontaneously disappear or decrease to less than 70% before definitive diagnosis and treatment (other than steroid treatment). We report our experience with a patient who had not received steroids...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ability of intraoperative ultrasound (IOUS) to differentiate the gross pathological features of brain mass lesions in comparison with preoperative imaging and conf...
The clay-shoveler fracture, named after Australian clay shovelers from the 1930s, results from high-energy, repetitive pulling mechanisms and is commonly associated with shoveling or digging. This injury prima...
Endovascular treatment of the wide-necked aneurysm is still challenging. Temporary stent-assisted coiling (TSAC) was introduced to manage the ruptured wide-necked aneurysms to avoid the long-term use of dual a...
This review assesses laser-based diagnostic modalities for intraoperative tissue diagnosis in neurosurgical oncology, emphasizing their utility in delineating tumor margins. Technologies such as optical cohere...
In patients with spinal cord compression behind the cervical vertebra who presented with myelopathy, one of the treatment modalities is anterior cervical corpectomy followed by insertion of graft or implant. A...
In arteriovenous malformations, endovascular embolization was first used in the 1960s to occlude feeding vessels. In recent years, the success of endovascular treatments has increased. Thus, the use of endovas...
Primary central nervous system melanoma is an extremely rare entity and even rarer in children and adolescents as compared to adults. It is often difficult to consider a diagnosis of intracranial melanoma pre-...
