Atypical case of bow hunter's syndrome linked to aberrantly coursing vertebral artery: A case report.

Background: In bow hunter's syndrome (BHS), also known as rotational vertebral artery (VA) syndrome, there is dynamic/rotational compression of the VA producing vertebrobasilar insufficiency. Most occurrences involve atlantoaxial rather than mid-cervical VA compromise, the latter being rarely reported. Herein, we detail successful VA decompression at mid-cervical spine, given a departure from its usual course.

Out-of-Hospital Cohort Treatment of Coronavirus Disease 2019 Patients with Mild Symptoms in Korea: an Experience from a Single Community Treatment Center.

The outbreak of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused a worldwide pandemic. Less than 6 weeks after the first confirmed cases in Korea, the patient number exceeded 5,000, which overcrowded limited hospital resources and forced confirmed patients to stay at home. To allocate medical resources efficiently, Korea implemented a novel institution for the purpose of treating patients with cohort isolation out of hospital, namely the Community Treatment Center (CTC).

Prediction of outcome after traumatic brain injury using clinical and neuroimaging variables.

Background And Purpose: The functional outcome of traumatic brain injury (TBI) varies widely. The aim of this study was to identify the factors predicting outcome following TBI.

Methods: We prospectively enrolled acute TBI patients, and assessed them clinically and radiologically using brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Enhancing box sign : enhancement pattern of acute osteoprotic compression fracture.

Objective: Although gadolinium enhancement of compression fractures is well known, the enhancement pattern of the acute stage of a fracture is not completely understood. Here, we investigated the enhancement pattern of acute vertebral compression fractures (VCFs).

Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of patients with acute osteoporotic VCFs admitted to hospital between January 2004 and December 2005.

Pneumorrhachis and paraspinal air with vacuum disc : case report and literature review.

Air within the spinal canal called pneumorrhachis has been seen rarely. We report a case showing multiple air pockets in the paraspinal and epidural space with vacuum disc and review pathogenesis and treatment of pneumorrhachis.

Optimal extent of resection in vestibular schwannoma surgery: relationship to recurrence and facial nerve preservation.

Surgical treatment of vestibular schwannoma is targeted at complete removal with preserved neurological function. Complete removal may cause significant deficits, whereas subtotal tumor removal is associated with a high recurrence rate. The present study assessed the risk of tumor recurrence and postoperative facial nerve function in relation to the extent of surgical resection by reviewing the clinical records and radiological findings of 116 patients with vestibular schwannoma treated between 1990 and 1999.
