Moyamoya Disease in an adult female from Nepal: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Moyamoya is a progressive vasoocclusive disease of large intracranial arteries with characteristic collaterals formation. It has a bimodal distribution and more frequent in females compared to males.

Case Presentation: We present a case of 38 years female who presented with a loss of consciousness following headache.

Mini Craniotomy in the Management of Supratentorial Spontaneous Intracranial Hemorrhage: A Single-Center Outcome of the Minimally Invasive Treatment.

Hemorrhagic stroke accounts for a significant proportion of mortality and confers a poor quality of life with high dependency among survivors. Surgical evacuation of hematoma has the advantage of rapidly controlling the increased intracranial pressure, halting the ongoing herniation syndrome, and mitigating the secondary cascades of events mediated by the inflammatory and blood degradation products. The advantage is hindered by the concurrent insult to the healthy brain tissue while passing through the normal brain tissue.

Prognostics of Hospitalization Length and Mortality in Patients with Traumatic Frontal Brain Contusions.

Traumatic brain injury has ripple effect on the physical, cognitive, behavioral, and emotional domains of quality of life and portends a long-term neurological disability in survivors. In this study we evaluated the prognostic role of demographic and clinico-radiological variables on the hospitalization length and mortality in 71 of patients with frontal brain contusions. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) plots were performed, with area under the curve (AUC) values, for graphical comparison of variables that would predict mortality and hospitalization length.

Reappraising Neurosurgical Residency in Nepal-Stepping Stone for Paradigm Shift from Its Current Perspectives.

Background: Nepal has a critical shortage of health workers for achieving its projected sustainable development goals pertaining to its health sector.

Methods: To counteract this crisis and reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with untreated brain injuries secondary to inadequate access, it is pivotal to generate solutions through the establishment of improved educational and training objectives. Objectives must align themselves with achieving equitable access to neurologic health.
