Unruptured intracranial aneurysms: a reviewJournal of Neurosurgery - Tập 96 Số 1 - Trang 3-42 - 2002
Bryce Weir
Object. In this article, pathological, radiological, and clinical information
regarding unruptured intracranial aneurysms is reviewed. Methods. Treatment
decisions require that surgeons and interventionists take into account
information obtained in pathological, radiological, and clinical studies of
unruptured aneurysms. The author has performed a detailed review of the
literature and has compared... hiện toàn bộ
The influence of volume on the tolerance of the brain to radiosurgeryJournal of Neurosurgery - Tập 75 Số 2 - Trang 177-180 - 1991
Lawrence B. Marks, David P. Spencer
✓ Radiosurgery (delivery of a high dose of radiation to a small volume of the
brain) is usually well tolerated since the volume of brain irradiated is small.
Despite growing interest in radiosurgery, the influence of the volume of brain
irradiated on the tolerance of the brain to radiation is not well understood.
The results of six studies reporting clinically significant radiation reactions

Stereotactic radiotherapy for the treatment of lymphocytic hypophysitisJournal of Neurosurgery - Tập 99 Số 3 - Trang 591-596 - 2003
Michael T. Selch, Antonio A. F. DeSalles, Daniel F. Kelly, Leonardo Frighetto, Harry V. Vinters, Cynthia Cabatan-Awang, Robert E. Wallace, Timothy D. Solberg
✓ Lymphocytic hypophysitis is a rare inflammatory disorder of the pituitary
gland. Standard therapy consists of transsphenoidal resection or oral
administration of corticosteroid medications. Two patients with symptomatic
lymphocytic hypophysitis, which recurred after standard therapy, were treated
with low-dose stereotactic radiotherapy. On imaging studies both lesions
demonstrated a response to ... hiện toàn bộ
Spinal dural enhancement on magnetic resonance imaging associated with spontaneous intracranial hypotensionJournal of Neurosurgery - Tập 88 Số 5 - Trang 912-918 - 1998
Nizar Moayeri, John W. Henson, Pamela W. Schaefer, Nicholas T. Zervas
✓ This report offers a description of typical changes seen on
gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the entire spine that
indicate spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH). To the authors' knowledge,
this is the first report of its kind. They describe three cases of SIH that were
accompanied by dural enhancement throughout the neuraxis on imaging, with the
evolution of associate... hiện toàn bộ
Surgical treatment of spontaneous spinal cerebrospinal fluid leaksJournal of Neurosurgery - Tập 88 Số 2 - Trang 243-246 - 1998
Wouter I. Schievink, Vittorio M. Morreale, John L.D. Atkinson, Fredric B. Meyer, David G. Piepgras, Michael J. Ebersold
Object. Spontaneous spinal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks are an increasingly
recognized cause of intracranial hypotension and may require neurosurgical
intervention. In the present report the authors review their experience with the
surgical management of spontaneous spinal CSF leaks. Methods. Between 1992 and
1997, 10 patients with spontaneous spinal CSF leaks and intracranial hypotension
were ... hiện toàn bộ
Discordance between functional magnetic resonance imaging during silent speech tasks and intraoperative speech arrestJournal of Neurosurgery - Tập 103 Số 2 - Trang 267-274 - 2005
Nicole M Petrovich, Andrei I. Holodny, Viviane Tabar, Denise D. Correa, Joy Hirsch, Philip H. Gutin, Cameron Brennan
Object. The goal of this study was to investigate discordance between the
location of speech arrest during awake cortical mapping, a common intraoperative
indicator of hemispheric dominance, and silent speech functional magnetic
resonance (fMR) imaging maps of frontal language function. Methods. Twenty-one
cases were reviewed retrospectively. Images of silent speech fMR imaging
activation were cor... hiện toàn bộ
Utility of preoperative functional magnetic resonance imaging for identifying language cortices in patients with vascular malformationsJournal of Neurosurgery - Tập 97 Số 1 - Trang 21-32 - 2002
Nader Pouratian, Susan Y. Bookheimer, D Rex, Neil Martin, Arthur W. Toga
Object. The goal of this study was to evaluate the utility of preoperative
functional magnetic resonance (fMR) imaging in the prediction of whether a given
cortical area would be deemed essential for language processing by
electrocortical stimulation mapping (ESM). Methods. The authors studied patients
with vascular malformations, specifically arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) and
cavernous angio... hiện toàn bộ
Neural network analysis of preoperative variables and outcome in epilepsy surgeryJournal of Neurosurgery - Tập 90 Số 6 - Trang 998-1004 - 1999
Jeffrey E. Arle, Kenneth Perrine, Orrin Devinsky, Werner Doyle
Object. Because appropriate patient selection is essential for achieving
successful outcomes after epilepsy surgery, the need for more robust methods of
predicting postoperative seizure control has been created. Standard multivariate
techniques have been only 75 to 80% accurate in this regard. Recent use of
artificial intelligence techniques, including neural networks, for analyzing
multivariate c... hiện toàn bộ
Convection-enhanced delivery to the central nervous systemJournal of Neurosurgery - Tập 122 Số 3 - Trang 697-706 - 2015
Russell R. Lonser, Malisa Sarntinoranont, Paul F. Morrison, Edward H. Oldfield
Convection-enhanced delivery (CED) is a bulk flow–driven process. Its properties
permit direct, homogeneous, targeted perfusion of CNS regions with putative
therapeutics while bypassing the blood-brain barrier. Development of surrogate
imaging tracers that are co-infused during drug delivery now permit accurate,
noninvasive real-time tracking of convective infusate flow in nervous system
tissues. ... hiện toàn bộ
