Anticoagulation Therapy Timing in patients with Atrial Fibrillation after Acute and Chronic Subdural Haematoma (ATTAACH): a pilot randomised controlled trial.

Introduction: Subdural haematomas (SDHs), acute or chronic, are common neurosurgical diagnoses. These problems can occur among patients requiring direct oral anticoagulation (DOAC) for atrial fibrillation. There are currently no guidelines regarding the optimal timing to resume anticoagulation for these patients after SDH.

MEK Inhibition in a Pilocytic Astrocytoma With a Rare Mutation in a Young Adult Patient: A Case Report.

This case illustrates the utility and impact of molecular testing and molecular tumor board discussion in the management of AYA patients with brain tumors.

Delayed neurological improvement in a patient with Duret hemorrhage secondary to an acute subdural hematoma: illustrative case.

Background: Duret hemorrhage is a rare phenomenon wherein rapid transtentorial herniation results in brainstem injury and hemorrhage. It is usually regarded as a poor prognostic factor representing irreversible and often catastrophic brain injury. The authors report an unusual case of Duret hemorrhage with spontaneous delayed neurological recovery postoperatively after surgical treatment of an acute subdural hematoma (SDH).

Dose-Escalated Radiation Therapy Is Associated With Improved Outcomes for High-Grade Meningioma.

Purpose: The optimal modern radiation therapy (RT) approach after surgery for atypical and malignant meningioma is unclear. We present results of dose escalation in a single-institution cohort spanning 2000 to 2021.

Methods And Materials: Consecutive patients with histopathologic grade 2 or 3 meningioma treated with RT were reviewed.

Virtual Reality Simulation for the Middle Cranial Fossa Approach: A Validation Study.

Background And Objectives: Virtual reality (VR) surgical rehearsal is an educational tool that exists in a safe environment. Validation is necessary to establish the educational value of this platform. The middle cranial fossa (MCF) is ideal for simulation because trainees have limited exposure to this approach and it has considerable complication risk.
