Reducing Surgical Site Infection in Pediatric Scoliosis Surgery: A Multidisciplinary Improvement Program and Prospective 4-Year Audit.

Study Design: Single-center prospective cohort.

Objectives: To evaluate a multidisciplinary led, structured protocol for reducing surgical site infections (SSIs) in pediatric scoliosis surgery.

Methods: Following a spike to 8.

Invasive sinonasal adenocarcinoma with an absent olfactory bulb: a case report.

Sinonasal adenocarcinomas are rare, locally invasive tumours. In this case the symptomatic profile was unusual and the diagnosis was missed at the primary care stage. Interestingly this would be the first documented case with an absent ipsilateral olfactory bulb.

Intracranial abscess in Ectopia Cordis.

We present a case of intracranial abscess in a young female with Ectopia Cordis, an exceptionally rare cardiac condition. The neurosurgical implication is the predisposition to intracranial abscess formation. A heightened awareness of this association will aid diagnosis in similar clinical scenarios.

Neurosarcoidosis mimicking acute cervical disc prolapse.

We describe the case of a 29-year-old farmer who developed upper limb radiculopathy followed by myelopathy in his lower limbs. MRI findings suggested cervical disc prolapse with cord changes. Despite a successful anterior cervical decompression and fusion his symptoms rapidly returned.
