Background: Intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (IoMRI) is used to improve the extent of resection of brain tumors. Most previous studies evaluating the utility of IoMRI have focused on enhancing tumors.
Objective: To report our experience with the use of high-field IoMRI (1.
Background: Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is relatively frequent in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients and can be extremely disabling. Surgical interventions are less effective for the treatment of MS-related TN compared with classic TN, and higher recurrence rates are observed.
Objective: To evaluate initial pain-free response (IPFR), duration of pain-free intervals (PFIs), and factors predictive of outcome in different surgical modalities used to treat MS-related TN.
Object: The authors evaluated overall survival and factors predicting outcome in patients with ≥ 5 brain metastases who were treated with Gamma Knife surgery (GKS).
Methods: Medical records from patients with ≥ 5 brain metastases treated with GKS between 1997 and 2010 at the Cleveland Clinic Gamma Knife Center were retrospectively reviewed. Patient demographics, tumor characteristics, treatment-related factors, and outcome data were evaluated.
Background: Cerebral lymphoma is a rare non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, which involves the brain primarily or after systemic involvement. Because of its infiltrating nature and its sensitivity to radio- and chemotherapy, surgical removal has a limited role in its treatment and only a stereotactic biopsy is necessary for confirming the diagnosis.
Methods: The data from all cases in whom the cerebral lymphomas were pathologically confirmed and were admitted to the Neurosurgery Department of Shohada Hospital for stereotactic biopsy during a 15-year period were analyzed retrospectively.
