A Case Series of Surgical Resection of Anterior and Posterior Butterfly Glioma Grade 4 via a Minimally Invasive Keyhole Approach.

Surgical resection of infiltrating glial neoplasms has proven to improve quality of life and confer a significant survival benefit. As accumulating evidence cements the role of surgery in grade 4 gliomas, there is a general trend to transition away from traditional large craniotomies to smaller 'keyhole' approaches, which aim to reduce the trauma and complication profiles associated with large exposures. A keyhole approach uses a small craniotomy positioned perfectly to reach at least all the target structures that a conventional approach would reach.

Bilateral orbital and optic nerve endoscopic endonasal decompression for nonspecific inflammatory orbital disease: case report.

Background: Endoscopic endonasal optic nerve decompression (EEOND) is indicated in traumatic and endocrine orbitopathies as well as in idiopathic intracranial hypertension.

Case: We present a patient with bilateral nonspecific inflammatory orbitopathy (NSIO) and optic nerve compression presenting with acute severe visual loss. Bilateral orbital and optic nerve decompression was performed as an emergency procedure with a favorable ophthalmological result.
