Meningeal solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) and hemangiopericytomas (HPCs) had been combined into a single classification until 2016. Recurrence and metastases rates are still understudied, especially for spinal SFT/HPCs. Here, we describe CNS SFT/HPCs and predictors for recurrence, metastases, and death, in spinal and intracranial SFT/HPCs, separately. We collected data from studies with patient-lev...... hiện toàn bộ

Despite the use of first-choice anti-epileptic drugs and satisfactory seizure outcome rates after resective epilepsy surgery, a considerable percentage of patients do not become seizure free. ANT-DBS may provide for an alternative treatment option in these patients. This literature review discusses the rationale, mechanism of action, clinical efficacy, safety, and tolerability of ANT-DBS in drug-r...... hiện toàn bộ

The purpose of this study is to summarize our experience in managing patients with an atypical or malignant meningioma at our institution, with a specific focus on determining the prognostic factors for treatment outcome. We reviewed the records of 126 patients with atypical or malignant meningiomas from January 2001 to August 2011. Data collected included gender, age, Karnofsky Performance Scale ...... hiện toàn bộ
CSF disturbances and other neurosurgical complications after interdisciplinary reconstructions of large combined scalp and skull deficienciesSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 44 - Trang 1583-1589 - 2020

Combined scalp and skull deficiency due to malignant scalp tumors or sequelae of intracranial surgery present challenging entities for both neurosurgeons and reconstructive treatment. In complex cases, an interdisciplinary approach is needed between neurosurgeons and cranio-maxillofacial surgeons. We present a considerably large series for which we identify typical complications and pitfalls and p...... hiện toàn bộ
Pituitary insufficiency after operation of supratentorial intra- and extraaxial tumors outside of the sellar–parasellar region?Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 34 - Trang 509-516 - 2011

Recent studies investigating pituitary function after non-sellar brain tumor surgery showed that up to 38.2% of patients have pituitary insufficiency (PI). It has been assumed that the operation causes the PI, but preoperative hormone testing, which would have been necessary to prove this assumption, was not performed. The objective of this study is to answer the question if indeed microsurgery is...... hiện toàn bộ
