Imply on diagnosis and early prognosis of preoperative [Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT in patients with suspected brain tumours of glial origin.

PET/CT targeting prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is commonly used in patients with prostate cancer. PSMA has been found in other solid tumours, including primary brain tumours. The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of [Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT for preoperative diagnosis and 2-year prognosis.

Monitored Anesthesia Care Protocol for Awake Craniotomy and Patient's Perspective on the Procedure.

Objective: There is ongoing discussion on pros and cons in terms of different anesthesia protocols for awake craniotomy (AC) with direct brain stimulation. The aim of this study is to share our anesthesia protocol and present our patients' perspectives.

Methods: We conducted an analysis of prospectively collected data from 53 (54 procedures) consecutive patients.

Long-Term Management of Seizures after Surgical Treatment of Supratentorial Cavernous Malformations : A Retrospective Single Centre Study.

Objective: Seizure recurrence after the first-ever seizure in patients with a supratentorial cerebral cavernous malformation (CCM) is almost certain, so the diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy is justified. The optimal method of management of these patients is still a matter of debate. The aim of our study was to identify factors associated with postoperative seizure control and assess the surgical morbidity rate.

Sphenoid sinus septations and their interconnections with parasphenoidal internal carotid artery protuberance: radioanatomical study with literature review.

Introduction: Internal carotid artery (ICA) injury is the most dangerous and life-threatening complication in patients operated on due to parasellar tumors via a minimally invasive endoscopic endonasal approach. Sphenoid septal attachment to the ICA protuberance within the sphenoid sinus was found to be one of the anatomical risk factors for ICA injury during transsphenoidal surgery.

Aim: To determine the relationship between the sphenoid sinus septa and the parasellar or paraclival internal carotid artery prominence based on our own material and a literature review.

Significance of intracranial gas on post-mortem computed tomography in traumatic cases in the context of medico-legal opinions.

The detection of intracranial gas (ICG) in people who died due to trauma became possible once postmortem computed tomography (PMCT) became available in addition to traditional post-mortem examinations. The aim of this study was to determine the importance of ICG in the context of medico-legal opinions. We assessed 159 cases of trauma-induced death.
