Practice parameters for the management of single brain metastasis
Neurosurgical Focus - Tập 9 Số 6 - Trang 1-9 - 2000
Object In January 1998 the Guidelines and Outcomes Committee of the American
Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS) issued a charge for the development
of evidence-based practice parameters focusing on the treatment of patients with
single metastasis to the brain. The charge was imposed in response to the
significant controversy surrounding questions relating to the optimal management
strateg...
Psychosurgery, ethics, and media: a history of Walter Freeman and the lobotomy
Neurosurgical Focus - Tập 43 Số 3 - Trang E6 - 2017
At the peak of his career, Walter J. Freeman II was a celebrated physician and
scientist. He served as the first chairman of the Department of Neurology at
George Washington University and was a tireless advocate of surgical treatment
for mental illness. His eccentric appearance, engaging personality during
interviews, and theatrical demonstrations of his surgical techniques gained him
substantial...
Intracranial hypotension syndrome: a comprehensive review
Neurosurgical Focus - Tập 15 Số 6 - Trang 1-8 - 2003
Intracranial hypotension may have variable clinical presentations, but has a
rather uniform component of postural headache among its symptomatology. Its
symptoms are explainable given the effects of the hypotension and attempts
within the craniospinal axis to maintain volume homeostasis in the face of
cerebrospinal fluid leakage (Monro–Kellie hypothesis). The imaging corollaries
of the consequence...
Indications for and benefits of lumbar facet joint block: analysis of 230 consecutive patients
Neurosurgical Focus - Tập 13 Số 2 - Trang 1-5 - 2002
Object The authors evaluated the effectiveness of using a facet joint block with
local anesthetic agents and or steroid medication for the treatment of low-back
pain in a medium-sized series of patients. Methods Over a period of 4 years, the
authors performed 715 facet joint injections in 230 patients with
variable-length histories of low-back pain. The main parameter for the success
or failure of...
Discography interpretation and techniques in the lumbar spine
Neurosurgical Focus - Tập 13 Số 2 - Trang 1-8 - 2002
The authors provide an indepth analysis of discography, a provocative diagnostic
tool to determine the origin of low-back pain. Injecting the intervertebral disc
with radiopaque dye provides physicians with several useful pieces of
information. First, the modality provides radiographic evaluation of the
integrity of the nucleus pulposus and anular rings to determine tears or other
lesions that cou...
Intraoperative electrical stimulation in awake craniotomy: methodological aspects of current practice
Neurosurgical Focus - 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...
Jugular foramen tumors: diagnosis and treatment
Neurosurgical Focus - Tập 17 Số 2 - Trang 31-40 - 2004
Object Jugular foramen tumors are rare skull base lesions that present
diagnostic and complex management problems. The purpose of this study was to
evaluate a series of patients with jugular foramen tumors who were surgically
treated in the past 16 years, and to analyze the surgical technique,
complications, and outcomes. Methods The authors retrospectively studied 102
patients with jugular forame...
The basic science of glomus jugulare tumors
Neurosurgical Focus - Tập 17 Số 2 - Trang 6-11 - 2004
Glomus tumors are a fascinating group of lesions. It is a challenge for
neurosurgeons and otolaryngologists to resect them completely with minimal
morbidity. Laboratory researchers have discovered extremely interesting genetic
and molecular biology factors involved in the development and growth of glomus
tumors. In this article the author reviews the genetics, protein mutations,
angiogenesis and a...
Novel placement of cortical bone trajectory screws in previously instrumented pedicles for adjacent-segment lumbar disease using CT image-guided navigation
Neurosurgical Focus - Tập 36 Số 3 - Trang E9 - 2014
Object Symptomatic adjacent-segment lumbar disease (ASLD) after lumbar fusion
often requires subsequent surgical intervention. The authors report utilizing
cortical bone trajectory (CBT) pedicle screw fixation with intraoperative CT
(O-arm) image-guided navigation to stabilize spinal levels in patients with
symptomatic ASLD. This unique technique results in the placement of 2 screws in
the same pe...
Ankylosing spondylitis and spinal cord injury: origin, incidence, management, and avoidance
Neurosurgical Focus - Tập 24 Số 1 - Trang E12 - 2008
✓ Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory rheumatic disease that
primarily affects the vertebral column and sacroiliac joints. Over time, the
disease process promotes extensive remodeling of the spinal axis via ligamentous
ossification, vertebral joint fusion, osteoporosis, and kyphosis. These
pathological changes result in a weakened vertebral column with increased
susceptibility to...
