Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage; Early Surgery; Neurosurgeons Experience; Patient Outcome.

Background: This study examined the impact of neurosurgeons' experience on surgical timing and outcomes in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) and questioned the adherence to early surgery as recommended by recent guidelines.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of 196 aSAH patients treated between 2013 and 2020 was conducted. Variables included age, sex, initial Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scores, World Federation of Neurological Surgeons grades, Fisher's grades, rebleeding, hydrocephalus, and preoperative-postoperative neurological status.

Relation of the Pituitary Gland With the Sella Turcica in Adult Patients With Chiari Malformation Type 1.

Objective: This study aims to assess the relation of the pituitary gland height (PGH) with the heights of the tuberculum sellae (TSH) and dorsum sellae (DSH) in adult patients with Chiari malformation type 1 (CM1).

Methods: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) views of 50 CM1 patients aged 20 to 71 years and 50 controls aged 20 to 65 years were included in the study.

Results: CM1 patients (6.

Superior orbital fissure in children: shape analysis, measurements, and surgical importance.

This radiologic work aimed to display the alteration in the superior orbital fissure (SOF) morphology in the pediatric population with advancing age. This pediatric examination consisted of computed tomography images of 180 subjects (90 males/90 females) aged 1-18 years. The length (SOF-L) and width (SOF-W) of SOF were measured, and its shape was noted.

Exploring arterial anatomy of the internal capsule: an analysis of the deep vascular structures and related white matter pathways.

Background And Objectives: The internal capsule is supplied by perforators originating from the internal carotid artery, middle cerebral artery, anterior choroidal artery and anterior cerebral artery. The aim of this study is to examine the vascular anatomy of the internal capsule, along with its related white matter anatomy, in order to prevent potential risks and complications during surgical interventions.

Methods: Twenty injected hemispheres prepared according to the Klingler method were dissected.

Retrospective Evaluation of Neurosurgery Outpatient Services in 3 Different Tertiary Care Hospitals in Turkey.

Background: Cascading of referrals to health institutions aims to increase the balanced distribution and quality of health services provided. Although health institutions in Turkey are divided into steps in terms of scope, there is no mandatory referral system for patient application.

Methods: Patients admitted to the neurosurgery outpatient clinic of 3 different hospitals in the first week of September 2023 were analyzed.

Flow diverter stent treatment for unruptured supraclinoid segment internal carotid artery aneurysms: a Turkish multicenter study.

Objective: Despite the relatively high success of surgical clipping of supraclinoid segment aneurysms of the internal carotid artery (ICA), flow diverter (FD) stent therapy is becoming increasingly used for these aneurysms. This study aims to evaluate the characteristics of FD placement for unruptured ICA supraclinoid segment aneurysms at 6 different centers with different experience levels in Türkiye.

Methods: In this retrospective, multicenter study, the authors reviewed the demographic information, aneurysm shape/dimensions (neck, aspect ratio, dome/neck ratio, and maximum diameter), preoperative antiplatelet regimen, FD stent brand, perioperative complications, intervention time, clinical (modified Rankin Scale) and radiological (O'Kelly-Marotta [OKM] grading scale) outcomes, and follow-up time of 54 patients.

Effectiveness of Derivo Flow Diverter Device in the Endovascular Treatment of Cerebrovascular Aneurysms.

Aim: To report our experience with flow diverter devices in the treatment of intracranial aneurysms, and to share the efficacy and clinical results of the Derivo® flow diverter device in the endovascular treatment of cerebrovascular aneurysms.

Material And Methods: This retrospective study was conducted at a regional training and research hospital between October 2015 and March 2020 after approval by the Clinical Research Ethics Committee. The radiology and file records of 21 patients with cerebrovascular aneurysms treated endovascularly using a Derivo® flow diverter device were examined.

Glossopharyngeal neuralgia as initial symptom in combined hyperactive dysfunction syndrome: case report.

Objectives: Hyperactive dysfunction syndrome (HDS) is defined as symptoms arising from overactivities in cranial nerves, like trigeminal neuralgia (TN), hemifacial spasm (HFS), and glossopharyngeal neuralgia (GPN). A combination of these cranial nerve neuralgias, that might or might not occur in one or both sides, either synchronously, or metachronously is called combined hyperactive dysfunction syndrome (CHDS).

Case Presentation: We presented a 73 years-old male patient with CHDS presenting with GPN as the initial symptom, with total relief from GPN, TN, and HFS after microvascular decompression.

Intramedullary dermoid cyst infection mimicking holocord tumor: should radical resection be mandatory?-a case report.

Background: Dermoid cysts are benign lesions which contain epidermal and dermal elements. Dermoid cysts usually contain a dermal sinus tract but this is not mandatory. Dermoid cysts can manifest by spinal cord infection without a dermal sinus tract.
