Expanded endonasal approach: fully endoscopic, completely transnasal approach to the middle third of the clivus, petrous bone, middle cranial fossa, and infratemporal fossa
Tập 19 Số 1 - Trang 1-10 - 2005
Object The middle third of the clivus and the region around the petrous internal
carotid artery (ICA) is a difficult area of the skull base in terms of access.
This is a deep area rich with critical neurovascular structures, which is often
host to typical skull base diseases. Expanded endoscopic endonasal approaches
offer a potential option for accessing this difficult region. The objective of
thi...
Complications of cranioplasty following decompressive craniectomy: analysis of 62 cases
Tập 26 Số 6 - Trang E9 - 2009
Object Decompressive craniectomy is a potentially life-saving procedure used in
the treatment of medically refractory intracranial hypertension, most commonly
in the setting of trauma or cerebral infarction. Once performed, surviving
patients are obligated to undergo a second procedure for cranial reconstruction.
The complications following cranial reconstruction are not well described in the
lite...
Complications of decompressive craniectomy for traumatic brain injury
Tập 26 Số 6 - Trang E7 - 2009
Decompressive craniectomy is widely used to treat intracranial hypertension
following traumatic brain injury (TBI). Two randomized trials are currently
underway to further evaluate the effectiveness of decompressive craniectomy for
TBI. Complications of this procedure have major ramifications on the
risk-benefit balance in decision-making during evaluation of potential surgical
candidates. To furt...
Cytotoxic edema: mechanisms of pathological cell swelling
Tập 22 Số 5 - Trang 1-9 - 2007
✓Cerebral edema is caused by a variety of pathological conditions that affect
the brain. It is associated with two separate pathophysiological processes with
distinct molecular and physiological antecedents: those related to cytotoxic
(cellular) edema of neurons and astrocytes, and those related to transcapillary
flux of Na+ and other ions, water, and serum macromolecules. In this review, the
auth...
Intraoperative electrical stimulation in awake craniotomy: methodological aspects of current practice
Tập 28 Số 2 - Trang E7 - 2010
There is increasing evidence that the extent of tumor removal in low-grade
glioma surgery is related to patient survival time. Thus, the goal of resecting
the largest amount of tumor possible without leading to permanent neurological
sequelae is a challenge for the neurosurgeon. Electrical stimulation of the
brain to detect cortical and axonal areas involved in motor, language, and
cognitive funct...
Flow-induced, inflammation-mediated arterial wall remodeling in the formation and progression of intracranial aneurysms
Tập 47 Số 1 - Trang E21 - 2019
OBJECTIVEUnruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) are relatively common lesions
that may cause devastating intracranial hemorrhage, thus producing considerable
suffering and anxiety in those affected by the disease or an increased
likelihood of developing it. Advances in the knowledge of the pathobiology
behind intracranial aneurysm (IA) formation, progression, and rupture have led
to preclinical ...
Recurrent lumbar disc herniation
Tập 15 Số 3 - Trang 1-4 - 2003
Recurrent lumbar disc herniation is a common disease process. It has been noted
to occur in 5 to 15% of cases surgically treated for primary lumbar disc
herniation. Outcomes in one series approached those after the initial
operations, although this is not the case in the experience of most surgeons.
The removal of recurrent lumbar disc herniations requires meticulous surgical
technique. Great care...
Percutaneous pedicle screw fixation of the lumbar spine
Tập 10 Số 4 - Trang 1-9 - 2001
Object Standard techniques for lumbar pedicle screw fixation involve open
exposures and extensive muscle dissection. The purpose of this study was to
report the initial clinical experience with a novel device for percutaneous
posterior fixation of the lumbar spine. Methods An existing multiaxial lumbar
pedicle screw system was modified so that screws could be placed percutaneously
by using an exte...
Cerebral pressure autoregulation in traumatic brain injury
Tập 25 Số 4 - Trang E7 - 2008
An understanding of normal cerebral autoregulation and its response to
pathological derangements is helpful in the diagnosis, monitoring, management,
and prognosis of severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). Pressure autoregulation is
the most common approach in testing the effects of mean arterial blood pressure
on cerebral blood flow. A gold standard for measuring cerebral pressure
autoregulation is...
Chiari Type II malformation: past, present, and future
Tập 16 Số 2 - Trang 1-7 - 2004
Object The Chiari Type II malformation (CM II) is a unique hindbrain herniation
found only in patients with myelomeningocele and is the leading cause of death
in these individuals younger than 2 years of age. Several theories exist as to
its embryological evolution and recently new theories are emerging as to its
treatment and possible prevention. A thorough understanding of the embryology,
anatom...
