Article Synopsis
- Cerebral vasospasm (CV) after tumor resection is uncommon but linked to serious complications, prompting a study into its risk factors.
- A review of 61 studies found that CV occurs more in males with an average age of 47.3, commonly after resection of posterior fossa tumors, especially schwannomas and pituitary adenomas.
- Symptoms usually include altered mental status and weakness, often occurring within the first two weeks post-surgery, and the condition can lead to high mortality rates and significant long-term deficits.
Background: Although significant progress has been made in improving the rate of survival for pediatric optic pathway gliomas (OPGs), data describing the methods of diagnosis and treatment for OPGs are limited in the modern era. This retrospective study aims to provide an epidemiological overview in the pediatric population and an update on eye care resource utilization in OPG patients using big data analysis.
Methods: Using the OptumLabs Data Warehouse, 9-11 million children from 2016 to 2021 assessed the presence of an OPG claim.
