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.

Surgical outcomes of Supra- Infra Tentorial Extradural Hematoma (SIEDH): A retrospective study from a single institution.

Introduction: Bicompartmental Supra plus Infratentorial Extra Dural Hematoma (SIEDH) is an uncommon yet important category of Extradural Hematoma (EDH) straddling the transverse sinus. It requires quick decision making and proper surgical evacuation.

Methods: We did a retrospective chart review of all SIEDH cases from prospectively maintained operative database in our institute between 2011 & 2017.

Symptomatic Post-Radiosurgery Intratumoral Hemorrhage in a Case of Vestibular Schwannoma: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Gamma knife radiosurgery (GKRS) is considered an established treatment for vestibular schwannoma (VS) in selected patients. Spontaneous intratumoral hemorrhage in VS after GKRS is very rare. In this report, we present a 63-year-old gentleman who had right-side severe sensorineural hearing loss on MRI showing a right cerebellopontine angle tumor (volume 4.

Ruptured intracranial dermoid cysts: A retrospective institutional review.

Intracranial dermoids (ID) are relatively uncommon. They are usually located in the midline or posterior fossa, and present in the first three decades of life. Rupture of IDs are a rare occurrence, and can present with diverse clinical features.

Surgical management of traumatic extradural hematomas in children: an analysis of 201 patients at a tertiary neurosurgical center.

Introduction: The effects of traumatic extradural hematoma (EDH) are potentially reversible if treated early. Pediatric EDH differs from its adult counterpart because of the differential elastic and adherence properties of skull bone and dura respectively. There is a paucity of literature regarding prognosis and factors predicting the outcome of pediatric EDH.
