3-Step didactic white matter dissection of human cerebellum: Micro-neuroanatomical training.

Objectives: A thorough understanding of cerebellum anatomy is essential in 4th ventricle approaches (more frequent in pediatric neurosurgery), avoiding relevant complications such as cerebellar mutism. The aim of the present work is to show the feasibility of a didactic dissection of human cerebellum focusing on cerebellar peduncles and dentate nucleus (DN), which are structures at high risk during these surgical procedures.

Material And Methods: The cerebellum was dissected according to the Klingler method for white matter, using standard and specific microsurgery tools.

Management of a ruptured intraventricular aneurysm arising from distal anterior choroidal artery (AChA): pediatric case report.

Intracranial aneurysms arising from the distal anterior choroidal artery (AChA) are uncommon entities, with less than 30 cases reported. A 4-year-old boy was admitted to the Emergency Department with a sudden onset of severe headache and vomiting. CT scan of the head showed signs of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).
