Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis and Helminthiasis. A Case-Based Review.

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is an uncommon and underreported neurological condition. This condition has varied aetiologies, clinical manifestations, and significant sequelae if left untreated. We report the case of a 10-year-old male with fever, altered sensorium, cranial nerve neuropathies, and left hemiplegia.

Clinicopathological profile and management challenges of congenital encephaloceles in a tertiary hospital in southwest Nigeria.

Purpose: A congenital encephalocele is the herniation of intracranial contents through skull defects of various sizes. Depending on the site, content, and size, it is associated with significant morbidity and mortality in children. There is a paucity of recent and comprehensive local clinical data regarding this anomaly.

Titanium mesh cranioplasty for cosmetically disfiguring cranio-facial tumours in a resource limited setting.

Background: The aesthetic reconstruction of disfiguring cranio-facial defects after tumour excision can be quite challenging to the neurosurgeon with limited resources. The choice of cranioplasty implant, intraoperative technicalities and the patients' postoperative appearance are critical considerations in management. There are a number of synthetic materials available for cranioplasty, however, the customised implants are not readily available in our practice setup.

Neurocritical Care in Nigeria.

Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa with an estimated 206 million inhabitants served by less than 300 neurologists and 131 neurosurgeons. Neurological conditions account for approximately 18% of all medical emergencies. Neurocritical care challenges in Nigeria are as complex as they are in other low-to-middle-income countries (LMICs).
