Delayed cranial nerve palsy after successful coil embolization in cavernous sinus lesion.

Cavernous sinus (CS) lesion is hard to access by surgical approach. With the development of endovascular technique, neurointerventional therapy is an alternative modality for CS lesions. This endovascular technique has been widely used for the past decade, avoiding the risks associated with surgical treatment.

Characteristics of patients with ruptured very small intracranial aneurysm sized less than 3 mm.

Objective: If the size of an intracranial aneurysm is below 3 mm, clinicians rarely treat them because of the low risk of rupture. But subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) due to the rupture of very small intracranial aneurysm (VSIA) (saccular aneurysm sized less than 3 mm) may lead to many critical neurological complications. So we analyzed the characteristics and differences between the ruptured VSIA group and the ruptured non-VSIA group.

Pre-Planned Cranioplasty Using Computer-Assisted Designed Temporalis Muscle Augmentation in Patients With Decompressive Craniectomy Involving Resection of the Temporalis Muscle.

Background: Decompressive craniectomy (DC) is the last-resort surgical procedure to reduce intracranial pressure and prevent secondary brain injury. Additional resection of the temporalis muscle and fascia can achieve a higher extracranial herniation volume compared to the standard DC technique at the expense of cosmetic problems for the patients. Various methods have been used to augment temporal fossa hollowing.
