Adherence to Traumatic Brain Injury Guidelines in Turkey: A National Survey Study.

Aim: To discuss adherence to guidelines for the management of traumatic brain injury (TBI) in Türkiye and physicians' attitudes toward standardized, evidence-based medical practice.

Material And Methods: Survey questions were uploaded on the website www.surveymonkey.

"Skip" corpectomy technique in multilevel cervical spondylotic myelopathy and ossified posterior longitudinal ligament: Outcomes with over 10-years follow-up.

Objective: Skip corpectomy is a surgical technique that includes C4 and C6 corpectomies and fusion via autografts and a cervical plate and is frequently performed in patients with CSM and OPLL. This study presents long-term clinical and radiological outcomes of 48 patients who underwent skip corpectomy with 10-year follow-up.

Methods: 48 patients who were diagnosed with CSM or OPLL were included.

Sacral insufficiency fracture: a single-center experience of 185 patients with a minimum 5-year follow-up.

Purpose: Sacral insufficiency fracture (SIF) is a commonly underdiagnosed etiology of back pain, especially in the geriatric and osteoporotic population. In this clinical study, we present our experience of 185 patients who were diagnosed with SIF and managed either with conservative or surgical treatment with a minimum 5-year follow-up.

Materials And Method: Patients who were diagnosed with SIF, managed either conservatively or surgically, and had a minimum 5-year follow-up medical record were included in this study.

Congenital Pediatric Hydrocephalus in the Brazilian Public Health System: The Reality of a Middle-Income Country in the Past 13 Years.

Background: Congenital hydrocephalus is a significant challenge in neurosurgery, particularly in resource-limited settings. This study focuses on the congenital hydrocephalus in Brazil, a developing country, over the past 13 years.

Methods: This study is a retrospective analysis of congenital hydrocephalus treatment and outcomes using data records on DATASUS from January 2008 to July 2021.

Silent Pulmonary Thromboembolism in Patients Undergoing Craniotomy for Brain Tumor.

Aim: To detect the silent pulmonary thromboembolism (SPTE) frequency in patients who underwent craniotomy for a brain tumor, and to examine the correlation based on the data obtained from patients.

Material And Methods: Overall, 100 patients with brain tumors were included in the study. The mean age was 54.

An Audit and Comparison of pH, Measured Concentration, and Particulate Matter in Mannitol and Hypertonic Saline Solutions.

The preferred hyperosmolar therapy remains controversial. Differences in physical properties such as pH and osmolality may be important considerations in hyperosmolar agent selection. We aimed to characterize important physical properties of commercially available hyperosmolar solutions.

Mini-open lateral approach for anterior lumbar corpectomy combined with posterior screw-rod system augmentation for correction of kyphosis.

Introduction: Traumatic burst fractures most commonly occur in thoracolumbar junction. Maintenance of spinal stability and decompression of spinal canal are the main goals of management in these cases. Either anterior, posterior or combined approaches may be selected.

Anterior communicating artery aneurysm in a young patient with Fahr's disease: case presentation.

Background And Importance: Fahr disease is an uncommon disorder defined as prominent calcification in basal ganglia, dentate nuclei of cerebellum, pulvinar thalami and subcortical white matter and it has been shown that calcium is the major factor that causes the hyperdensity on computer tomography (CT). Spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage from an aneurysm in a patient with Fahr disease was first reported by Al-Jehani in 2012 in a 54-year-old female patient with calcification of basal ganglia and deep cerebellar nuclei and a subarachnoid hemorrhage from a right posterior communicating artery aneurysm.

Clinical Presentation: We present a 17 years old patient with Fahr disease with an anterior communicating artery aneurysm rupture.

Giant Calvarial Ewing's Sarcoma: A Case Report.

Ewing's sarcoma (EWS) is the second most common primary bone tumor seen in children and adolescents, first being osteosarcoma. Skull lesions are seen in 6 to 9% of cases. The tumor tends to reside most frequently on frontal and parietal bones.
