Objective: To assess radiological characteristics that may support the clinical diagnosis of trigeminal neuralgia caused by pure venous conflict.
Methods: Preoperative constructive interference in steady state images were analyzed retrospectively in 30 patients with trigeminal neuralgia caused by pure venous conflict, which was confirmed during microvascular decompression. Length, width, T2 hyperintensity, and shape of the cisternal segment of trigeminal nerve (CN V), as well as sizes of the trigeminal-pontine angle, trigeminal-petrous angle, and cerebellopontine cistern were evaluated on both sides.
The aim of this study was to systematically review and meta-analyze the efficiency and safety of using the Robotic Stereotactic Assistance (ROSA) device (Zimmer Biomet; Warsaw, IN, USA) for stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) electrode implantation in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. Based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, a literature search was carried out. Overall, 855 nonduplicate relevant articles were determined, and 15 of them were selected for analysis.

Methods: From January 2013 until June 2022, 336 consecutive patients with aSAH underwent treatment in our center. No one patient was excluded from the study cohort.
Objective: Early (within 72 h) tumor-related hemorrhage (TRH) after stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) of brain metastases (BM) has been reported only occasionally. Systematic review of such cases was done.
Methods: Literature search was performed through PubMed according to PRISMA guidelines using combination of the following medical subject headings: "hemorrhage," "stereotactic radiosurgery," and "brain metastasis.
