Case Report: Langerhans cell histiocytosis involving the cervical spine in an adult patient.

Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis (LCH) is a typically benign disorder that affects infants predominately, with adult occurrence being uncommon. We discuss the case of a 22-year-old guy who visited our clinic complaining of three months of acute nape pain and upper limb radiculopathy. Notably, the patient had no history of trauma, fall injuries, or tuberculosis.

Single-Center Comparison of Chronic Subdural Hematoma Evacuation Outcomes Under Local Versus General Anesthesia.

Background: Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is a neurosurgical pathology of an aged populace. Pathogenetic risk factors include traumatic brain injury, prolonged use of antiplatelet drugs, hypertension, and some inflammatory processes. The incidence increases as patients age.

GROSS TOTAL RESECTION IN A RARE CASE OF OPTIC NERVE ASTROCYTOMA: A CASE REPORT.

The authors present a 3-year-old female with increasing proptosis and absent vision in the right eye. Chemotherapy had done for 3months. But her ailments lingered.

Sphenoid wing meningiomas: peritumoral brain edema as a prognostic factor in surgical outcome.

Sphenoidal meningiomas constitute 18% of intracranial masses, and still present a difficult surgical challenge. PTBE has been associated with several complications and future recurrence. This study aims to evaluate the outcome of the operatively treated sphenoid wing meningiomas in relation to PTBE as a prognostic factor in a series of 65 patients.

EXTENSIVE PERITUMORAL BRAIN EDEMA IN A SMALL CLINOIDAL MENINGIOMA: CLINICAL CASE.

Peritumoral brain edema (PTBE) is seen in 40-78% of all cases of intracranial meningiomas. It may vary in shape and size, occasionally being two to three times larger than the tumor. We present a case of a 62-year-old female patient, suffering from seizure and progressive headache.

Holmes tremor: a delayed complication after resection of brainstem cavernomas.

Objective: In this paper, the authors aimed to illustrate how Holmes tremor (HT) can occur as a delayed complication after brainstem cavernoma resection despite strict adherence to the safe entry zones (SEZs).

Methods: After operating on 2 patients with brainstem cavernoma at the Great Metropolitan Hospital Niguarda in Milan and noticing a similar pathological pattern postoperatively, the authors asked 10 different neurosurgery centers around the world to identify similar cases, and a total of 20 were gathered from among 1274 cases of brainstem cavernomas. They evaluated the tremor, cavernoma location, surgical approach, and SEZ for every case.

Type-III Hangman's fracture combined with serious cerebrovascular injury after near-hanging: a first case report and review of the literature.

Cervical fractures are rare after non-judicial hangings. Type-III Hangman's fracture (HF) is an unstable injury caused typically by motor vehicle accidents or falls. We describe the first reported case of a Type-III HF combined with occlusion of the right vertebral artery and non-occlusive dissection of both internal carotid arteries caused by near-hanging.
