Emergency Surgical Management of Meningiomas: Factors Affecting Early Outcomes and Complications.

 Intracranial meningiomas constitute a third of all brain tumors and are among the most common indications for neurosurgical procedures performed worldwide. Most meningiomas present with an indolent, longstanding history. However, the data on outcomes of emergency surgeries for meningioma is limited.

Metachronous intracranial meningiomas without dural attachment in a child - Rare case report and review of literature.

Introduction: Meningiomas in children are rare, constituting less than 5% of all paediatric brain tumours and less than 2% of all meningiomas. Multiple meningiomas (synchronous or metachronous) are even more uncommon, typically occurring due to radiation exposure or in patients with phacomatoses like Neurofibromatosis II. This report presents the case of a child with metachronous meningiomas without dural attachment in unusual locations, along with their management.

Surgical outcome of sinodural meningiomas.

Introduction: Meningiomas located in the posterior fossa and involving the sinodural angle at the junction of the transverse and sigmoid sinuses are uncommon and present unique challenges due to their complex anatomical location. Despite their distinctive features, they are frequently categorized with tentorial meningiomas in the literature.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study conducted at a tertiary care center involved 64 patients with sinodural meningiomas who underwent surgical treatment between 2010 and 2023.

Management of intracranial Rosai-Dorfman disease: An institutional experience.

Objective: Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a rare benign proliferative disorder of histiocytes. The study discusses the intracranial RDD approach, its management, and its outcome.

Methods: It is a retrospective study performed in a tertiary center, the National Institute of Mental Health and Neuroscience, Bangalore, from January 2010 to December 2022.

Mirror movements associated with cervical limited dorsal myeloschisis: a unique case study.

Mirror movements, characterized by involuntary symmetrical movements in contralateral body parts during intentional movements, have been associated with various neurological conditions. Limited dorsal myeloschisis (LDM), a rare form of spinal dysraphism, is defined by a focal closed midline defect and a fibro-neural stalk connecting the skin lesion to the underlying cord. We present a unique case of a 4-year-old girl with cervical LDM exhibiting mirror movements.

Surgical Outcome of Torcula Herophili Meningioma: An Institutional Experience.

Introduction: Resection of meningiomas (THMs) at the torcular Herophili poses challenges to surgeons due to complex regional anatomy. The current study aims to evaluate factors affecting the extent of resections, progression-free survival, and the role of radiation.

Methods: We did a retrospective study of all the THM patients treated at our institute between May 1987 and June 2022.

Factors predicting recurrence in benign spinal nerve sheath tumors: A retrospective study of 457 patients from a single institution.

Background: Benign Nerve sheath tumors (NST) comprise almost one-third of primary spinal tumours. The majority are sporadic. They have low rates of recurrence but an occasional recurrence may need re-surgery.

Delayed Vasospasm in Endoscopic Transsphenoidal Pituitary Surgery: Two Case Reports and Reviews.

Background: Cerebral vasospasm (CVS) due to injuries to arteries of the circle of willies has been reported in transsphenoidal pituitary surgeries. However, the incidence of delayed vasospasm following endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery is rare.

Materials And Methods: Total 569 pituitary adenomas were operated on by endoscopic transsphenoidal approach from January 2016 to February 2020.

Surgical management of simultaneous supra- and infratentorial hemorrhages in a pediatric patient with multiple cavernomas.

Multiple intracranial cavernomas are rare and occur mostly in familial cases. Clinical presentation with simultaneous rupture of two or more lesions has only been reported in four cases to date. A 15-year-old boy presented with simultaneous right frontal and superior vermian hematomas with hydrocephalus.

Large Parenchymal Perianeurysmal Cyst: A Case Report.

Parenchymal perianeurysmal cysts are rare. We report a case of 50-year-old woman who presented with persistent headaches and episodes of vomiting for the last 2 months. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain showed a well-defined solitary cystic lesion with a mural nodule measuring 5.

Rhabdoid meningiomas: Clinicopathological analysis of a rare variant of meningioma.

Introduction: Rhabdoid Meningiomas (RM) are rare malignant type of meningiomas, classified as grade III in the WHO classification. Only a few case series have been reported, and factors affecting prognosis are still unclear.

Methods: We did a retrospective chart review of all the RMs diagnosed in our institute between 2007 and 2019.

Epidemiology of Spinal Injury in North East India: A Retrospective Study.

Aim: To find out the epidemiology of spinal injury in North East India.

Material And Methods: This study is a retrospective hospital-based analysis of spine injury patients admitted to Central Referral Hospital, Sikkim Manipal University from July 2013 to June 2017July 2013 to June 2017.

Results: During the study period 57 patients with spinal injury were admitted and treated.
