Management of Giant Sacral Pseudomeningocele in Revision Spine Surgery.

Background: Giant pseudomeningoceles are an uncommon complication of spine surgery. Surgical management and extirpation can be difficult, and guidelines remain unclear.

Methods: Here, we present a 56-year-old female patient with a history of grade III L5-S1 spondylolisthesis who was treated with 2 prior spine surgeries.

A Study to Evaluate Change in Ventricular Volume Obtained by Cranial Distraction for Craniosynostosis.

Background: The aims of the current analysis were to study the change in ventricular volume (VV) obtained with cranial distraction in patients with craniosynostosis and compare it with the change in total intracranial volume (ICV) and brain volume.

Methods: After institutional review board approval, a retrospective review was performed on patients undergoing cranial distraction over a 5-year period. GE Healthcare AdW 4.

Can Head Circumference Be Used as a Proxy for Intracranial Volume in Patients With Craniosynostosis?

Background: Calculation of intracranial volume from neuroimaging can be complex and time consuming. In the adult population, there is evidence suggesting that owing to its strong correlation, head circumference (HC) may be used as a surrogate for intracranial volume (ICV). We were interested in studying the correlation between HC and ICV in patients with craniosynostosis.
