Background: Headache (HA) is the most common symptom impacting the quality of life of patients with Chiari I malformation. While HAs typically present in the occipital or suboccipital regions, and induced by Valsalva maneuver, complex migraine-like HAs referring to frontal or orbital regions also occur. Our study explores the therapeutic potential of C1 nerve root decompression in addition to increasing intracranial compliance in patients with Chiari I malformation.

This succinctly highlights the central pathological feature of PD and its association with dopaminergic neuron degeneration, which underlies the motor and non-motor symptoms of the disease. This study aims to elucidate the nuances of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) changes in different cerebral regions by after the bilateral subthalamic nucleus (STN) deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery of PD, as well as to investigate their potential interactions with the motor and neuropsychiatric spectrum.

- Hepatitis Delta virus (HDV) significantly contributes to liver-related health issues in patients with HBV, prompting France to enhance testing for anti-HDV antibodies in HBsAg-positive individuals since January 2022.
- A study comparing six years of serology data showed a more than 2-fold increase in HDV diagnoses among HBsAg carriers and a notable rise in anti-HDV positive rates from 6.8% to 10.3% overall.
- The improved testing strategy has allowed for earlier identification of HBV-HDV co-infected patients, enabling timely referrals to specialists and potential treatment with bulevirtide, signaling promising outcomes for patient management.

Aim: We aimed to examine the safety and effectiveness of a posterior approach alone in the surgical treatment of sacral-presacral tumors. In addition, we investigate factors that determine the selection of a posterior approach alone.
Materials And Methods: Patients with sacral-presacral tumors who underwent surgery in our institution between 2007 and 2019 were examined in this study.
