Atypical Presentation of a Ruptured Anterior Communicating Artery Aneurysm With Subdural, Intraparenchymal, and Subarachnoid Hemorrhage.

Anterior communicating artery (ACom) aneurysm, one of the most frequent types of intracranial aneurysm rupture, usually results in a subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) with intraventricular hemorrhage. We describe a case of an ACom aneurysm rupture with subarachnoid, intraparenchymal, and subdural hemorrhages (SDH) with midline shift in a 55-year-old woman. Decompressive craniectomy was performed to evacuate the SDH with subsequent microsurgical clipping of the aneurysm.

Authorship Disparities in International Neurosurgical Research Collaborations: A Bibliometric Analysis.

Background: Research is pivotal to neurosurgical training and practice. The objectives of this study were to quantify neurosurgical research output by authors from low-income countries (LICs), using author affiliation as a proxy, and to understand the patterns of collaboration between LIC authors and their international partners.

Methods: PubMed, CINAHL, and EMBASE were searched for neurosurgical literature published by authors from the 27 World Bank LICs from 2010 to 2020.

Needs, Roles, and Challenges of Young Asian Neurosurgeons.

Background: Asia has a marked shortage of neurosurgical care, with approximately 2.5 million critical cases left untreated. The Young Neurosurgeons Forum of the World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies surveyed Asian neurosurgeons to identify research, education, and practice.

Needs, Roles, and Challenges of Young Latin American and Caribbean Neurosurgeons.

Background: Barriers to neurosurgery training and practice in Latin American and Caribbean countries (LACs) have been scarcely documented. The World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies Young Neurosurgeons Forum survey sought to identify young neurosurgeons' needs, roles, and challenges. We present the results focused on Latin America and the Caribbean.

Global Neurosurgery in the Context of Global Public Health Practice-A Literature Review of Case Studies.

Neurosurgical conditions are a substantial contributor to surgical burden worldwide, with low- and middle-income countries carrying a disproportionately large part. Policy initiatives such as the National Surgical, Obstetrics and Anesthesia Plans and Comprehensive Policy Recommendations for the Management of Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus in Low-and-Middle-Income countries have highlighted the need for an intersectoral approach, not just at the hospital level but on a large scale encompassing national public health strategies. This article aims to show through case studies how addressing this surgical burden is not limited to the clinical context but extends to public health strategies as well.

Neurosurgery Research Output in Ethiopia: A Scoping Review.

Background: Neurosurgery-specific research plays a critical role in improving outcomes in patients with neurosurgical diseases. Despite the high burden of neurosurgical diseases in Ethiopia, little is known about types of neurosurgical research from Ethiopia. The goal of this scoping review is to assess the quantity and types of neurosurgical research published in peer-reviewed journals by authors from Ethiopia.

Cohesion Between Research Literature and Health System Level Efforts to Address Global Neurosurgical Inequity: A Scoping Review.

Background: Research output on global neurosurgery (GNS) has exponentially increased in recent years. As research efforts increase, we must first analyze how the current body of GNS literature fits into the macroscopic schema of systems-based policies. The aim of this study was to identify and categorize GNS research based on health system domains.
