Predictors and Outcomes of Subdural Hematomas Managed via Subdural Evacuation Port System.

Background: Subacute subdural hematoma (SDH) is a common pathology most frequently affecting older patients and may be treated operatively through burr holes versus craniotomy or minimally invasively with bedside twist drill craniostomy. Less invasive intervention is favored when possible given a frequently comorbid population. The subdural evacuation port system (SEPS) is a popular treatment option that warrants investigation and reporting of its use and outcomes.

Seizure Rates After Stereotactic Radiosurgery for Cerebral AVMs: A Single Center Study.

Objectives: Seizure control after stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) is an area of growing interest, with previous studies reporting up to 70% seizure freedom after treatment. The goals of this study were to identify specific patient and AVM characteristics associated with seizure presentation and seizure outcomes after SRS treatment.

Methods: A retrospective review of consecutive patients undergoing SRS for brain AVMs between 2009 and 2019 at our institution was conducted.
