Cerebellar Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Does Not Alter Somatosensory Temporal Discrimination Threshold.

This study aimed to explore the role of the cerebellum on the somatosensory temporal discrimination (STD) process. Twenty healthy volunteers were enrolled in the study. Each participant was included in three different transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) sessions as anodal, cathodal, and sham sessions in randomised order.

Endonasal endoscopic repair of ethmoid roof cerebrospinal fluid fistula by suturing the dura.

Introduction: Over the past 20years, improvement in surgical techniques as well advances in surgical instruments for sinus surgery has led to surgical closure of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak using endoscopic approach. Minimally invasive and having lower post op morbidity, compared to traditional intracranial techniques, repairing CSF leak endoscopically has evolved to become the standard practice for management of CSF leak.

Discussion: Widespread use of endoscope in sinus surgery have made us more familiar with the anatomy of the sinuses as well as the skull base.
