Endovascular assisted vertebrobasilar junction aneurysm clipping in a hybrid operation room. Case report.

Introduction: We present a case of a 60-year-old female that underwent surgery for clipping a right vertebrobasilar junction aneurysm (VBJA) in a hybrid operation room.

Research Question: Does the retrograde suction technique with a proximal balloon is safe and effective as an adjuvant technique in surgery of VBJA?

Material And Methods: After an extended retrosigmoid approach was performed, a 6F Neuron catheter with an intermediate multipurpose catheter were navigated to the right vertebral artery (VA) through a 6-French sheath, which caused a severe catheter-induced vasospasm in the right VA. The aneurysm was then deflated and clipped.

High Myoinositol on Proton MR Spectroscopy Could Be a Potential Signature of Papillary Tumors of the Pineal Region-Case Report of Two Patients.

Papillary tumor of the pineal region (PTPR) is an uncommon entity in which a presurgical suspicion may be crucial for patient management. Maximal safe neurosurgical resection is of choice when PTPR is suspected, whereas non-surgical approaches can be considered in other tumors of the pineal region, such as pineocytoma or concrete subtypes of germ-cell tumors. In general terms, imaging features of tumors of the pineal region have been reported to be unspecific.

Safety and Performance of a New Burr Hole Covering Device: Results of the Multicenter COVER Registry.

Background:  Burr hole covering in brain surgical procedures can avoid complications and unaesthetic results. The aim of this registry was to assess the safety and performance of a new polymeric burr hole covering device (Cranial COVER, NEOS Surgery).

Methods:  A multicenter, prospective, clinical registry design was used for the study.

Revascularization of the Anterior Inferior Cerebellar Artery Using Extracranial and Intracranial Donors: A Morphometric Cadaveric Study.

Introduction: Anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA) aneurysms are rare, accounting for 0.2%-1.3% of all intracranial aneurysms.

Clipping of High-Risk Dural Arteriovenous Fistula of the Posterior Fossa: 3-Dimensional Operative Video.

Dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) represent 10%-15% of all intracranial arteriovenous malformations. DAVFs located in the posterior cranial fossa are rare and often present with intracranial hemorrhage and myelopathy. Arterial supply could be provided by the meningeal branches of the vertebral artery and external and internal carotid arteries.
