Nonacute Subdural Hematoma Evacuation Using a Rigid Endoscopy System: A Clinical Study.

Aim: To determine the clinical relevance of a rigid endoscopy surgical method for subdural hematomas, as previously described in a cadaver study.

Material And Methods: Between May 2021 and September 2023, 21 patients underwent subdural hematoma drainage using a 0-degree rigid endoscope. Traumatic acute subdural hematomas were excluded.

Evaluations of Oxidative Stress, Thiol/Disulphide Homeostasis, and Nitric Oxide in Patients with Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage.

Aim: To investigate changes in nitric oxide (NO) levels, oxidative stress, and dynamic thiol/disulphide homeostasis in the serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhages (aSAH).

Material And Methods: This prospective study included a total of 40 consecutive patients suffering from aSAH, who were operated on within the first 48 hours from onset of symptoms; CSF and blood samples were collected from these patients during their operations. To create a control group, blood samples and cerebrospinal fluid were taken from patients (n=40) without neurologic disorders who had undergone lumbar puncture for spinal anesthesia.

Endoscopic Endonasal Approach to the Orbit: A Case Series and Clinical Experience Emphasizing the Advantages of the Ipsilateral Mononostril Technique.

Background: Lesions situated within the orbit pose significant challenges in management due to the confined space they occupy and their proximity to critical anatomical structures. The objective of our study is to assess the feasibility of the ipsilateral endoscopic endonasal approach for orbital cavernous hemangiomas and to comprehend the surgical anatomy of the orbital apex and inferomedial orbital structures.

Methods: Thirteen patients (8 women, 5 men), with ages ranging from 25 to 54 years (mean 35.

Endonasal endoscopic approach for sellar metastatic pathologies: a national observation.

Purpose: Sellar metastases are rare lesions. Recent improvements in diagnosis and treatment strategies have prolonged survival but increased the probability of metastatic tumors. Evaluation with clinical symptomatology and meticulous laboratory examination is crucial.

Pituitary apoplexy: An emergent and potential life-threatening complication of pituitary adenomas.

Background: Pituitary apoplexy is an emergent and potential life-threatening complication of pituitary adenomas if not managed properly. The aim of our study is to present our series of pituitary adenomas and to focus on the clinical, radiological, and surgical characteristics of this rare complication.

Methods: In this study, a total of 143 patients with pituitary adenoma underwent surgical treatment between 2016 and 2018.

Foramen Magnum Meningiomas: A Report of 10 Cases and Literature Review.

Aim: To present the findings and surgical results of foramen magnum meningioma surgeries performed by the authors.

Material And Methods: Ten patients operated between 2014 and 2019 were retrospectively analyzed in terms of age, gender, neurological examination, and postoperative status. The female-to-male (F/M) ratio of the patients was 6/4, and the age range was 19?70 years (mean = 59).
