Exoscopic Transcortical-Transventricular Approach With Tubular Retractor for Chronic Encapsulated Expanding Hematoma in the Thalamus.

The feasibility of surgical treatment for hemorrhagic deep thalamic lesions is becoming better understood in line with the improvement in microscopic and endoscopic techniques. However, the indications for and approaches to surgical treatment remain unclear. Herein, we report two cases of chronic encapsulated expanding hematomas (CEEH) in the thalamus resected through an exoscopic transcortical-transventricular approach using a tubular retractor.

Intraorbital Dural Arteriovenous Fistula Treated by Transarterial Embolization Using Onyx: A Case Report.

Objective: Intraorbital dural arteriovenous fistula (IO-dAVF) is a rare condition, and treatment options vary from case to case. We report a case of transarterial embolization (TAE) for IO-dAVF.

Case Presentation: A 62-year-old male complained of gradually worsening pain, hyperemia, and visual impairment in the right eye.

A Case of Unilateral Facial Spasm With Vulnerable Hearing Function Due to a History of Cisplatin Treatment, Resulting in Intraoperative Hearing Loss.

A 51-year-old man with a history of cisplatin treatment for a right testicular tumor underwent microvascular decompression for hemifacial spasm. At an early stage in the surgical procedure, the intraoperative auditory brainstem response (ABR) was diminished despite a relatively minimally invasive approach, resulting in irreversible hearing loss. Cisplatin is known to cause dose-dependent hearing impairment primarily affecting the cochlea, but it can also induce neurotoxicity.
