Introduction: High intensity focal ultrasound (HIFU) thalamotomy is a novel treatment for refractory tremor. This study aims to compare the reduction in tremor intensity and adverse effects of treatment between patients younger and older than 70 years of age.
Patients And Methods: All the patients with refractory essential tremor treated with HIFU between March 2021 and March 2023 were included consecutively.
Background: Studies comparing the clinical efficacy of apomorphine infusion (APO) with subsequent subthalamic deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) in advanced Parkinson's disease (aPD) are currently lacking. Retrospective data have shown that patients treated with APO are usually older, have a more prolonged disease, and a more severe phenotype.
Objective: To compare the benefit of APO with that of STN-DBS on motor, non-motor, cognitive, and quality of life in the same patient when given sequentially.
Objective: To analyse the survival rate of a cohort of patients with intracranial metastases treated with radiosurgery, and to determine the factors that influence the results.
Patients And Method: Retrospective analysis performed on a cohort of 126 patients undergoing radiosurgery for brain metastases. Patients treated with surgery before or after radiosurgery were excluded.
Article Synopsis
- Chronic subdural haematoma (CSDH) is a prevalent neurosurgical condition in individuals over 85, with the study examining demographics, clinical findings, and surgical results in this age group.
- Out of 200 patients analyzed, 57% had a history of injury, and behavioral disturbances were noted as the main symptom in 41% of cases, with a significant correlation found between preoperative health status and recurrence/mortality rates.
- The findings underscore the high occurrence of CSDH in elderly patients, highlighting the importance of monitoring neurological status and complications post-surgery.
Introduction: Bilateral cerebellopontine arachnoid cysts are very rare, and only three cases have been previously reported.
Case Report: A 14-year-old previously healthy girl presented to our outpatient clinic with a 6-weeks history of frontal headache. They typically would start in the occipital region and then radiate bifrontally.
Stereotactic radiosurgery undoubtedly represents an important therapeutic procedure for various intracranial pathologies, especially tumours, although they are not entirely complication-free. Radiosurgery have been considered a good management strategy for the majority of small-to-medium size vestibular schwannomas. The authors describe a case of high-grade glioma associated with a previous radiosurgery treatment for a vestibular schwannoma in a 69 year-old woman.

Patients And Methods: A retrospective study was performed on 1523 patients diagnosed and surgically treated for chronic subdural haematoma over a period of 30 years. Patients were divided into 2 groups: The study group consisting of 190 patients operated on for a BCSDH and the control group consisting of patients operated on for an UCSDH (1333 cases).
