Pneumocephalus is a common complication presented as air in the cranial cavity after cranial surgery. We present a very rare case of isolated new onset aphasia due to pneumocephalus after evacuation of subdura...
Trigeminal neuralgia may be idiopathic or may involve other causes. It can be secondary to posterior fossa tumors many times. In the present case, posterior fossa meningioma was detected with trigeminal neural...
This is a letter to the editor commenting on “Carpal tunnel syndrome: evaluation of its provocative clinical tests.”
Although neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a common genetical disorder, symptoms due to neural involvement are rare among infants and children. Ganglioneuromas are slow-growing tumors and can be seen in patien...
Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is an uncommon extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma. This tumor is common in the fifth to seventh decade and is located commonly in the periventricular region and in ...
The relationships of the fourth ventricle to the cerebellar surfaces and the fissures through which the fourth ventricle is approached surgically are among the most complex in the brain. The area in and around th...
Most of the studies that examined the prognosis of acute subdural hematoma (ASDH) in severe head injury patients stated their overall prognosis as one group. The aim of the present study was to assess the prog...
Management of chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is usually surgical; burr hole craniostomy using double burr hole under general anesthesia is the most commonly used technique for its evacuation. However, single...
Proximal catheterization failure is believed to be the result of obstruction of the catheter by the choroid plexus. Optimal catheter placement can reduce proximal catheter failure. It has been reported that pl...
Recent guidelines recommend early closure of the ruptured aneurysms. However, this may not be available in all cases especially in developing countries. This may lead to late surgery during the period of vasos...
The thoracolumbar spine is vulnerable to fracture in falls or motor vehicle accidents. Thoracolumbar spine fracture can be associated with neurological deficits, long-term pain and disability. The optimal mana...
To evaluate the surgical treatment of tethered cord syndrome (TCS), a prospective analysis of 43 patients operated at Neurosurgery Department Zagazig University hospitals from May 2013 to January 2017 with 1 y...
Cervical trauma is a common cause of disability following spinal cord injury especially in athletic populations. The biomechanics in the atlantoaxial joint carry more than 50% of the rotational movement which ...
Our aim is to assess the surgical management of intramedullary spinal cord tumours (IMSCTs) and evaluate factors associated with surgical outcomes in our hospitals.
The incidence of idiopathic intracranial hypertension is 1/100,000 population per year. The widely accepted surgical treatment for idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) in the last four decades has been t...
Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a chronic, progressive occlusion of the arteries around the circle of Willis that leads to the development of characteristic collateral vessels seen on cerebral angiography. MMD is co...
Intraoperative ultrasonography (IOUS) represents a cheap and safe alternative to the more expensive intraoperative guidance modalities. In this study, we investigate the impact of introducing IOUS in the surgi...
Pineal region tumor is considered an ideal indication for endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV), with success rate up to 92%. The ultimate advantage is the ability to obtain tumor biopsy for histopathological...
Cavernous hemangiomas are benign tumors that exceptionally affect the cranial bones. The first description of this type of tumor was in 1845 by Toynbee. A review of the literature reveals less than 100 publish...
Central neurocytomas (CN) are relatively rare intrinsic brain tumors of an ectodermal origin that usually arise in the lateral ventricles close to the foramen of Monro and septum pellucidum. Surgical gross tot...

Large space-occupying middle cerebral artery (MCA) infarctions with signs of elevated intracranial pressure and brain herniation have overall mortality rates of 80%. Several studies have suggested that decompr...
Non-functioning pituitary adenomas have been treated by gross total resection with the microscopic transsphenoidal approach being the standard for decades. Recently, the endoscope has been utilized as alternat...
Extradural haematomas form 0.5% of all head injuries (Narayan and Kempisy, Principles of Neurosurgery, 2005). With the extensive blood supply to the vein, injury to the meningeal arteries leads to rapid intrac...
Hydatid disease is a parasitic infectious disease caused by Echinococcus granulosus. The parasite can form cysts in any part of the body with the liver and lung being the most commonly involved organs. It can rar...
Primary intracerebral hemorrhage due to hypertension or amyloid angiopathy is a major catastrophe to the brain especially in old age. It forms 20–30% of all strokes. Open craniotomy for evacuation of the hemat...
The diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is established mainly on a clinical basis, and diagnosis is done after careful history taking and examination including known provocative tests with varying effica...
Tuberculosis is resurging both in the developing and developed worlds. This includes TB of the central nervous system which is more common in children. It carries a high mortality rate and can lead to signific...
Atypical pituitary adenoma has a high rate of recurrence and most of them need further treatment after surgery. This is why early detection is very important.
Thoracic and lumbar fractures represent nearly 90% of traumatic spine injuries. Thoracolumbar region is susceptible to injury because of its location between the stiff kyphotic thoracic spine and the mobile lo...
