Introduction: The literature lacks a concise neurocognitive test for assessing primary cognitive domains in neuro-oncological patients. This study aims to describe and assess the feasibility of the Ohy-Maldaun Fast Track Cognitive Test (OMFTCT), used to pre- and post-operatively evaluate patients undergoing brain tumor surgery in language eloquent areas. The cognitive diagnosis was used to safely guide intraoperative language assessment.

- The anterior cranial fossa (ACF) is a crucial area in the skull that can be affected by various medical conditions, requiring different surgical treatment approaches.
- Traditionally, transcranial surgery has been used to remove tumors in the ACF, but endoscopic endonasal approaches (EEAs) have become more popular recently.
- The authors conducted a review that includes anatomical details of the ACF, technical specifics of both surgical methods, and documented their procedures on cadaver specimens, illustrating cases to aid in preoperative decision-making.
Introduction: Our goal was to investigate the cortical thickness and subcortical volume in subjects with craniocervical dystonia and its subgroups.
Methods: We studied 49 subjects, 17 with cervical dystonia, 18 with blepharospasm or oromandibular dystonia, and 79 healthy controls. We performed a whole group analysis, followed by a subgroup analysis.
