Endoscopic Endonasal Pituitary Surgery For Nonfunctioning Pituitary Adenomas: Long-Term Outcomes and Management of Recurrent Tumors.

Introduction: Endoscopic endonasal approaches (EEAs) provide improved access and operative visualization for resection of pituitary adenomas. Although the technique has gained wide acceptance, there is a paucity of data regarding late recurrence.

Objective: We aim to assess long-term outcomes of patients with nonfunctioning pituitary adenomas (NFPAs) who underwent EEA.

Recurrence of Anterior Skull Base Meningiomas After Endoscopic Endonasal Resection: 10 Years' Experience in a Series of 52 Endoscopic and Transcranial Cases.

Introduction: Although the indication of endoscopic approaches for anterior skull base meningiomas (ASBM) has been progressively refined, there remains a paucity of data on recurrence rates after resection. To analyze and compare recurrence rates of ASBM resected through endoscopic endonasal (EEE) versus transcranial (TCA) approaches.

Material And Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of patients submitted to the EEE or TCA approach for ASBM resection from May 2006 to January 2016 in our center.

Chronic subdural collection overlying an intra-axial hemorrhagic lesion in chronic myelomonocytic leukemia: special report and review of the literature.

: Chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia (CMML) is a clonal hematopoietic stem cell disorder characterized by the presence of an absolute monocytosis in the peripheral blood (>1 x 10/L) and the presence of myelodysplastic and myeloproliferative features in the bone marrow. Involvement of the central nervous system (CNS) is uncommon in CMML.: Herein described is a case report of a CMML patient who presents with symptomatic chronic subdural collection overlying a haemorrhagic brain lesion, along with diffuse dural infiltration, after two cycles of azacytidine.
