Triple spinal dural arteriovenous fistula.

Spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas (SDAVFs) are the most common type of spinal vascular malformations. Multiple SDAVFs are unusual and can occur either synchronously or metachronously, as reported in the literature. We report on the unusual case of a woman with three separate SDAVFs, which were surgically treated within the same setting; the postoperative course was characterised by unexplained repeated haematoma formation within the surgical sites.

Multidisciplinary consensus-based statement on the current role of middle meningeal artery embolization (MMAE) in chronic SubDural hematoma (cSDH).

Introduction: Middle Meningeal Artery Embolization (MMAE) in patients with chronic SubDural Hematoma (cSDH) is a novel treatment approach, albeit the specific role of MMAE in the treatment of cSDH is not yet defined.

Research Question: The aim of this work is to provide a consensus-based statement from a multidisciplinary panel on the current role of MMAE in patients with cSDH.

Materials And Methods: A literature search was performed using the keywords MMAE and cSDH.

A retrospective multicenter study of WHO 2021 classification-diagnosed solitary fibrous tumor of the CNS in a population from Lombardy, Italy.

In this retrospective, multicenter study, we collected patients with solitary fibrous tumor-SFT-of the CNS followed in eight hospitals in Lombardia from 2004 to 2019, revising the diagnosis according to the WHO 2021 classification. Clinical data were analyzed at diagnosis and during follow-up. Overall, 57 patients were enrolled, of whom 52.

Neurosurgical Microvascular Anastomosis: Systematic Review of the Existing Simulators and Proposal of a New Training Classification System.

Background: The literature lacks a combined analysis of neurosurgical microvascular anastomosis training models. We performed a systematic literature search to provide an overview of the existing models and proposed a classification system based on the level of simulation and reproducibility of the microvascular anastomosis.

Methods: The systematic literature search followed the PRISMA guidelines.
