Article Synopsis
- Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is a rare condition often misdiagnosed, particularly in patients with connective tissue disorders like Marfan Syndrome, which can lead to structural weaknesses in the spinal dural membrane and increased risk of CSF leaks.
- A 52-year-old woman with genetically confirmed Marfan Syndrome presented with severe headaches and diplopia; imaging revealed complications such as dural ectasia and subdural hematoma, which were effectively managed with bed rest and corticosteroids.
- A review of 25 studies on SIH treatment in patients with Marfan Syndrome indicated high success rates for symptoms improvement, particularly with epidural blood patches and conservative treatments.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the use of the Robotic 3D Exoscope AEOS Aesculap in surgeries of the posterior cranial fossa (PCF), focusing on three surgical approaches: retrosigmoid, midline suboccipital, and supracerebellar infratentorial.
- It involves feedback from 21 surgeons who participated in surgeries on 38 patients, revealing that the exoscope offers advantages in ergonomics (67%), magnification (52%), and visualization, while challenges include issues with color vision (16.76%) and manual mobility (24%).
- The research also includes a literature review, ultimately identifying 17 relevant articles with 153 additional patients, making it the first study to analyze ex
