Background: Meningioma is the most common primary intracranial tumor. Previous studies have shown the possible association between hormonal contraceptive use and meningioma location. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the association between the history of hormonal contraceptive use and the location of meningioma in the Indonesian population.

Article Synopsis
- Gliomas are common brain tumors, and this study explores the link between IDH mutations and clinical outcomes specifically in Indonesian patients.
- A total of 106 patients were analyzed for IDH mutations, revealing that 21.7% had IDH1 mutations, which showed associations with factors like smoking history, tumor location, and overall survival.
- The findings highlight the significance of recognizing IDH mutations in managing glioma patients in Indonesia, indicating they may influence prognosis and treatment approaches.
Background: Most articles describing the effect of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on neurosurgical services have been from developed countries. We report our experience in carrying out neurosurgical services at Dr. Sardjito General Hospital, Yogyakarta, Indonesia, during the time of the pandemic.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFObjective: Educating future neurosurgeons is of paramount importance, and there are many aspects that must be addressed within the process. One of the essential issues is the disproportion in neurosurgical care, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). As stated in their report "Global Surgery 2030," The Lancet Commission on Global Surgery has emphasized that the availability of adequate neurosurgical care does not match the burden of neurosurgical disease.
