Clipping first policy for middle cerebral artery aneurysm: A single-center cohort study.

Background: The management choice for the middle cerebral artery aneurysms (MCAAs) is still controversial. This review aims to describe a single-center "clipping first" policy for MCAA over 40 years of experience and compare the short- and long-term clinical outcomes by aneurysm's location.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study reviews the whole series of a single-center intracranial aneurysm mainly based on the micro-neurosurgical experience of the senior authors (EOA and EKA).

Advocacy for Epilepsy Surgery in Africa: Moroccan Experience of 132 Cases.

Background: In Africa, epilepsy is a real burden. Temporal lobe epilepsy is the most common drug-resistant focal epilepsy disorder, and temporal lobectomy is the most common effective treatment for patients with drug-resistant epilepsy.

Objective: We aim to highlight the Moroccan experience in epilepsy surgery and to ascertain its long-term outcome.

Evaluation of unruptured aneurysm scoring systems and ratios in subarachnoid hemorrhage patients with multiple intracranial aneurysms.

Background: This study aims to appraise aneurysm scores and ratios' ability to discriminate between ruptured aneurysms and unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) in subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) patients harboring multiple intracranial aneurysms (MICAs). We, then, investigate the most frequent risk factors associated with MICAs.

Methods: We retrospectively applied unruptured intracranial aneurysm treatment score (UIATS) and population hypertension age size of aneurysm earlier SAH from another aneurysm site of aneurysm (PHASES) score, aspect, and dome-to-neck ratio to the 59 consecutive spontaneous SAH patients with MICAs admitted between January 2000 and December 2015 to the Department of Neurosurgery of the University Hospital Center "Hôpital des Spécialités" of Rabat (Morocco).

Outcome of Brain Metastases Treated with Gamma Knife Stereotactic Radiosurgery: A Retrospective Cohort Study of 205 Cases.

Background: Brain metastases (BMs) are the most common expansive intracranial lesions in adults. Approximately 50% of patients diagnosed with new BMs will have >1 BM at the diagnosis. We report our experience with BMs treated with Leksell Gamma Knife stereotactic radiosurgery (GKSR) and evaluate the outcomes.
