Background: In GTA, exposing the neck is challenging, and temporary clipping is often not feasible, increasing the risk of intraoperative bleeding.
Method: An aneurysmotomy with a continuous lock on one side and a clip on the other is performed and functions as a "zipper." During thrombectomy, if bleeding occurs, the zipper closes for temporary clipping.
Objective: The oculomotor cistern (OMC) is a meningeal cuff filled with CSF that contains the oculomotor nerve (cranial nerve [CN] III) at the level of the lateral wall of the cavernous sinus. Only a few studies have investigated the involvement of the OMC by pituitary adenomas (pituitary neuroendocrine tumors [PitNETs]), mainly with relatively small case series. The aim of this study was to perform a histomorphological description of the OMC and systematically analyze its involvement by PitNETs from radiological, clinical, and surgical perspectives.

- Locally recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) poses significant treatment challenges due to the absence of standardized guidelines for postoperative re-irradiation (re-RT).
- This article reviews international recommendations for managing resectable cases of locally recurrent NPC, focusing on re-RT strategies and addressing controversial issues like surgical margins and resectability criteria.
- The consensus suggests a clearer definition of resectability, optimal re-RT doses around 60 Gy, and emphasizes the potential benefits of hyperfractionation to minimize treatment toxicity, aiming to improve patient outcomes.
Article Synopsis
- Sinonasal malignancies that invade the orbit have poor prognoses, but a new surgical approach called extended-orbital exenteration (EOE) shows promise in improving outcomes.
- * A study conducted across three institutions involved 48 orbital dissections and utilized a questionnaire to assess the procedure's feasibility and safety, with feedback from 25 surgeons.
- * The findings indicate that while endoscopic-EOE is challenging, it is a feasible procedure that needs further clinical validation to evaluate its effectiveness in real-life situations.
Surgery and endovascular therapy are the primary treatment options for spinal dural arteriovenous fistula (SDAVF). Due to the absence of a consensus regarding which therapy yields a superior outcome, we conducted a comparative analysis of the surgical and endovascular treatment of SDAVF through a multicenter case series and a systematic literature review. Patients with SDAVF, surgically or endovascularly treated at four neurosurgical centers from January 2001 to December 2021, were included in this study.
