Background: A clinical case of isolated unilateral hypoglossal nerve (HN) neuropathy, which spontaneously occurred from vertebral artery dolichoectasia and was cured by a new method of microvascular decompression by transposition of the vertebral artery using the Teflon cuff.
Case Description: A young patient with an anamnesis of the disease for more than 4 years and complaints of a deviation of the tongue to the right and dysarthria was examined. MRI of the brain revealed compression of the medulla oblongata by an elongated, dilated, and deformed right vertebral artery.
Background: Technical achievements and surgical techniques improvement contribute to the expansion of the endoscopic spine surgery possibilities. However, today there are few reports about the use of percutaneous endoscopy in spinal tumor surgery. A case of percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic removal of the lumbar spinal nerve tumor with intraoperative neuromonitoring is presented.

- Surgical resection of gliomas in critical brain areas carries a high risk of neurological deficits and impacts quality of life, but alternatives exist.
- Modern neuroimaging and neuronavigation allow for minimally invasive treatments like stereotactic cryodestruction, which was studied in 88 patients with various glioma grades that were not suitable for traditional surgery.
- The results showed low mortality and complication rates, with most neurological issues being temporary; median survival rates were promising compared to historical data, suggesting that cryodestruction could be a viable option for managing unresectable gliomas.
