Incidence and Characteristics of Cerebral Infarction After Microsurgical Clipping of Unruptured Anterior Circulation Cerebral Aneurysms: Diffusion-Weighted Imaging-Based Analysis of 600 Patients.

Background And Objectives: Postclipping cerebral infarction (PCI) remains a major concern after treatment for unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs). However, studies of microsurgical clipping based on diffusion-weighted imaging are limited. We aimed to present the incidence, risk factors, and types of PCI and its radiological and clinical characteristics.

Gamma Knife Radiosurgery for Choroidal Hemangioma: A Single-Institute Series.

Objective: Choroidal hemangioma (CH) is a benign vascular tumor that induces subretinal fluid collection or exudative retinal detachment and consequent visual symptoms. Current standard treatments for CH include cryotherapy, diathermy, photocoagulation, photodynamic therapy, transpupillary thermotherapy, and radiation therapy. Stereotactic radiosurgery has recently been applied to the treatment of CH because of its characteristic stiff dose-fall-off and accuracy.

Vertebral Reconstruction with Customized 3-Dimensional-Printed Spine Implant Replacing Large Vertebral Defect with 3-Year Follow-up.

Background: Destruction of the spine is a huge complication of infectious spondylitis and surgical intervention is required. However, vertebral defect is a major problem after surgical intervention and numerous methods have been researched to solve this problem. There are known methods that use variously designed, patient-customized 3-dimensional (3D)-printed implants in various medical fields.
