Postoperative hematoma involving brainstem, peduncles, cerebellum, deep subcortical white matter, cerebral hemispheres following chronic subdural hematoma evacuation.

Among the intracranial hematomas, chronic subdural hematomas (CSDH) are the most benign with a mortality rate of 0.5-4.0%.

Tuberculum sellae meningiomas: A series of 41 cases; surgical and ophthalmological outcomes with proposal of a new prognostic scoring system.

Context: Tuberculum sellae meningiomas have proved difficult to treat, partly because of their intimate association with the optic nerves and chiasma, hypothalamus, and internal carotid arteries.

Aims: The aim of this study is to analyze the degree of influence of various prognostic factors affecting visual outcome; the pattern of visual recovery and develop a scoring system for prognostication.

Settings And Design: This is a retrospective study carried out from January 2004 till June 2011.

Outcome of selective motor fasciculotomy in the treatment of upper limb spasticity.

Objective: The objective was to assess the outcome of selective motor fasciculotomy in relieving upper limb harmful resistant spasticity and thereby to improve motor functions in persons with cerebral palsy.

Materials And Methods: Twenty people having cerebral palsy (12 females and 8 males) with age ranging from 5 to 35 (mean 12.85) years with upper limb resistant spasticity due to spastic hemiplegia (n=7), triplegia (n=6), and quadriplegia (n=7) were assessed using Modified Ashworth Scale, Selective Voluntary Control Grade, Wee FIM Scale and hand function evaluation.

A 10-year retrospective study of hemangioblastomas of the central nervous system with reference to von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease.

We aimed to analyze the clinical, radiological, surgicopathological and clinical outcome data of patients who underwent surgery for central nervous system (CNS) hemangioblastoma (HBL) with or without von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease. The clinico pathological and radiological findings, management and clinical outcome of patients with CNS HBL (operated between 2000 and 2009) were analyzed retrospectively. The differences between sporadic and VHL-associated HBL were analyzed.

Fungal rhinosinusitis: a clinicopathological study from South India.

Fungal rhinosinusitis (FRS) is uncommon and accounts for 6-12% of culture or histologically proven chronic sinusitis. FRS may be acute or chronic. The aim of this paper was to study the histological features that contribute to the diagnosis and sub typing of FRS, using a retrospective review of all paranasal sinus mucosal biopsies from January 2005 to December 2008.

Isolated cerebral Aspergillus granuloma with no obvious source of infection.

Background: Intracranial fungal granulomas occur by extension from contiguous structures or by hematogenous dissemination from lungs. Isolated granulomas without any obvious source of infection are extremely uncommon.

Objective: To describe isolated intracerebral Aspergillus spp.

Giant mycotic aneurysm of the vertebral artery: a case report.

Giant mycotic pseudoaneurysms of the vertebral artery are extremely rare. Their management is technically challenging because of the distorted anatomy and intimate relation to the lower cranial nerves. We present a rare case of a 7-year-old boy referred to us by a pediatrician who was treating him for bacterial endocarditis.
