Prognostic value of scales for aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage: Report of a reference center in Peru.

Introduction: Multiple scales have been designed to stratify the severity and predict the prognosis in the initial evaluation of patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). Our study aimed to validate the most commonly used prognostic scales for aSAH in our population: Hunt-Hess, modified Hunt-Hess, World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (WFNS), Prognosis on Admission of Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (PAASH), and Barrow Aneurysm Institute (BAI) scales.

Methods: This study includes all aSAH cases treated at our institution between June 2019 and December 2020.

Vascular Lesions of the Pineal Region: A Comprehensive Review of the Therapeutic Options.

Objective: Vascular lesions of the pineal region comprise aneurysms of the pineal region, arteriovenous malformations, cavernous malformations, and vein of Galen malformations. In the present report, we have offered an extensive review of each vascular pineal region lesion.

Methods: We performed an extensive literature review, focusing on the current therapeutic options available for the different vascular lesions of the pineal region.

Surgical treatment of symptomatic pineal cysts without hydrocephalus-meta-analysis of the published literature.

Background: To examine published data and assess evidence relating to safety and efficacy of surgical management of symptomatic pineal cysts without hydrocephalus (nhSPC), we performed a systematic review of the literature and meta-analysis.

Methods: Following the PRISMA guidelines, we searched Pubmed and SCOPUS for all reports with the query 'Pineal Cyst' AND 'Surgery' as of March 2021, without constraints on study design, publication year or status (PROSPERO_CRD:42,021,242,517). Assessment of 1537 hits identified 26 reports that met inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Management of Obstructive Hydrocephalus Associated with Pineal Region Cysts and Tumors and Its Implication in Long-Term Outcome.

Background: Different treatment options have been proposed for obstructive hydrocephalus associated with pineal lesions. We discuss the obstructive hydrocephalus management associated with pineal region tumors and cysts in Helsinki Neurosurgery.

Methods: In this article, hydrocephalus treatment by tumor-cyst removal (n = 40), shunt surgery (n = 25), and endoscopic ventriculostomies (n = 3) is evaluated in 68 patients with obstructive hydrocephalus among 136 patients with pineal region tumor and cyst.
