Background: Dysraphic lesions in adults, presenting clinically as tethered cord syndrome (TCS), are relatively rare, and their optimal management remains controversial.
Patients And Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of our pediatric database over a period of last 7 years to focus on the adult TCS. Our aim was to determine the clinicoradiological and etiopathological differences between adult and pediatric patients as well as to determine the results of surgery in adult TCS.
Objective: To study factors influencing oro-facial herpetic eruptions (HEs) in patients undergoing retromastoid suboccipital craniectomy for vestibular schwannomas (VS).
Methods: A retrospective analysis of the prospectively collected database (from July 2014 to December 2015). A total of 87 patients underwent retromastoid suboccipital craniectomy for VS at our center.
