Morphometric Measurement of Cranial Vault Thickness: A Tertiary Hospital Based Study.

Introduction: The skull's main function is to protect the brain. Total skull bone thickness is the total thickness of diploe and the external and internal tables. The measurement of the human skull based on CT images results are of great practical value in the fields of anatomy, clinical medicine, biomechanics study and head injury analysis.

Clinical Experience of Fluroscopy Guided Percutaneous Transpedicular Biopsy of Spinal Lesion.

Introduction: The diagnosis of the spinal lesions often puts the clinician in dilemma. The definite diagnosis is obviously needed for the proper management of the disease. The wrong diagnosis not only imposes the adverse effects, but sometimes may lead to the disabling conditions and even prove to be life threatening.

Venture in 101 Cranial Punctures: A Comparative Study between Frame-based versus Frameless Biopsy of 101 Intracranial Space Occupying Lesion.

Background: Presumptive diagnosis based solely on the clinical picture and imaging is not sufficient to provide appropriate treatment with certainty and hence histopathological confirmation of intracranial space occupying lesion (ICSOL) is essential. Needle biopsy via stereotactic frame-based or frameless neuronavigation technique is efficient procedure. The objective of this study is to compare their accuracy and efficacy and safety.

Clinical Experience with Frame Based Stereotactic Biopsy for Intracranial Space Occupying Lesion.

Introduction: Preoperative diagnosis of intracranial space occupying lesion based solely on clinical and neuroimaging evaluation may not be sufficient to institute treatment plan without histopathological certainty. Frame based stereotactic biopsy is a technique of retrieving biopsy specimen to determine the histopathology. The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy and accuracy of frame based technique.

Transcranial doppler ultrasonography cerebral blood flow dynamics study of neurosurgical patients in peri-agonal period with fixed dilated or non-reacting pupils.

Introduction: Fixed dilated and unreactive pupils are a harbinger of imminent death in neurosurgical patients, signifying that the brainstem is not functioning. Transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasonography is a noninvasive, bedside method of determining the flow velocities in the basal cerebral arteries, used extensively in various neurosurgical conditions.

Aims And Objectives: To study the cerebral blood flow dynamics of neurosurgical patients in peri-agonal period with fixed dilated or non reacting pupils using TCD.

Chorea-acanthocytosis: a case report.

Neuroacanthocytosis is a group of rare disorders. We report a 36-year-old right-handed female who presented with gradually progressive abnormal facial movements, generalized weakness, and lower-lip biting starting 4 years ago. On examination, she had lower-lip ulcer, orofacial dyskinesias, and peripheral neuropathy.
