Background: Few series report on the management of high-grade spondylolisthesis (HGS) in adolescents and young adults. This review highlights a series of six consecutive cases with developmental (dysplastic) HGS successfully managed with L3 or L4 to S1 transpedicular screw placement, rather than /noninstrumented lumbosacral fusion.
Methods: The six patients with HGS, according to the Meyerding Grading, presented with low back pain and bilateral sciatica (2016-2020).
Background: The minimally invasive approaches to the anterior skull base region through fronto-orbital craniotomy remain a highly accepted option that gains countenance and predilection over time. The transpalpebral "eyelid" incision is an under-utilized and more recent technique that offers a safe efficient corridor to manage a wide variety of lesions.
Methods: We carried a retrospective study of 44 patients operated on by the fronto-orbital craniotomy through transpalpebral "eyelid" incision for intracranial tumors, in the time period from March 2007 to July 2016.
