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).
Article Synopsis
- Traumatic spondylolisthesis of the lumbosacral junction (SPL) is a rare spinal injury usually caused by high-energy trauma, with limited cases documented.
- A 24-year-old patient with no prior health issues suffered from SPL after a traffic accident; he experienced severe back pain but had no neurological deficits.
- Surgery, including laminectomy and lumbar fusion, was successful in decompressing neural structures and stabilizing the spine, enabling the patient to walk again two months post-operation.
Plasmacytoma is a rare plasma cell neoplasm. Whether solitary or associated with multiple myeloma (MM), it rarely involves the skull base, particularly the sphenoid bone. We present a unique case of sphenoid bone plasmacytoma secondary to MM, highlighting diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.

With variable success rates, it can be proposed as a first or second option after shunt malfunction. ETV in post-infectious hydrocephalus may also be considered as an alternative to shunting.

Methods: This was a retrospective, single-center, cohort study of 91 JSM patients treated in our department from 2005 to 2022.
