Neurological Outcome Following Surgical Treatment of Spinal Metastases.

Background: Spinal metastases lead to bony instability and spinal cord compression resulting in intractable pain and neurological deficits which affect ambulatory function and quality of life. The most appropriate treatment for spinal metastasis is still debated.

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate clinical outcome, quality of life, complications, and survival after surgical treatment of spinal metastases.

Validity of the Lateral Supraorbital Approach as a Minimally Invasive Corridor for Orbital Lesions.

Background: Many approaches were recommended for surgical treatment of orbital lesions via either transorbital or transcranial routes. The frontolateral craniotomy through eyebrow skin incision (lateral supraorbital approach) is a combined cranio-orbital approach that could be used in different orbital lesions.

Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the lateral supraorbital approach for resection of orbital lesions.

Clinical and angiographic outcome in patients with completely occluded intracranial aneurysms by endovascular coiling: our experience.

Objective: There are limited data about the rate of recanalization following complete coil occlusion. Long term clinical and angiographic outcome of completely occluded intracranial aneurysms (IAs) by the endovascular approach are presented.

Methods: Over the course of 4 years, patients with IAs which were completely occluded by coiling at our institution were reviewed.
