Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how the volume of nonfunctional pituitary adenomas (NFPAs) removed during surgery affects recurrence rates and improvements in visual field defects (VFDs) among patients.
- Out of 150 patients with NFPAs, 114 were analyzed, using MRI scans and volumetric measurements taken at various time intervals before and after surgery.
- Results showed a 19.3% recurrence rate, with significant differences in adenoma volumes linked to whether patients needed subsequent surgery and the degree of improvement in visual defects postoperatively.
Aim: To compare the preoperative and postoperative increased signal intensity (ISI) outcomes of cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) patients who underwent posterior decompression and fusion, and to assess the correlation between ISI changes and postsurgical clinical prognosis.
Material And Methods: The results from 123 patients were evaluated. In addition to demographic data, such as age and gender, factors, including body mass index (BMI); smoking history; duration of symptoms; follow-up periods; levels of decompression and fusion; comorbidities, such as diabetes, coronary artery disease, and hypertension; ISI grading; cervical sagittal vertical axis; C2-7 cervical lordosis parameters; and Modified Japanese Orthopedic Association (mJOA) scores, were statistically analyzed preoperatively and postoperatively.
Aim: To review the cases of craniosynostosis secondary to ventricular shunting procedure.
Material And Methods: We retrospectively evaluated the medical records of all pediatric patients with hydrocephalus who were treated with ventriculoperitoneal shunt procedure between the years 2017 and 2021 at the Selcuk University, Ankara University, and Bursa Uludag University.
Results: Twenty-one patients were included in the study.
Article Synopsis
- - The study examines pediatric intradural spinal arachnoid cysts, which are unusual in children and can cause various neurological issues, emphasizing the importance of recognizing symptoms like weakness, bladder problems, and sensory changes.
- - Researchers evaluated 8 pediatric patients who underwent surgery and found that most commonly, patients experienced weakness in their lower limbs, with successful outcomes following procedures like cyst excision and fenestration.
- - The success of surgery relies on factors like the cyst's location and the extent of nerve compression, highlighting the need for prompt diagnosis and treatment to enhance neurological recovery.
Although treatment-related secondary malignancies are rare, they are important problems after the treatment of childhood malignant diseases. Irradiation-induced sarcomas are the development of sarcoma different from the primary tumor after a latent period of ≥3 years or more in the radiotherapy field. Desmoid tumor is extremely rare as irradiation-induced tumor.
