Clinical Profile of Tuberculum Sellae Meningiomas Based on Scoring System: An Institutional Experience in Indonesia.

Tuberculum sellae meningioma (TSM) is a challenging tumor that grows close to several crucial structures, such as the optic nerve, arteries, and pituitary. Surgical treatment is currently evolving from a transcranial microsurgical resection to a transsphenoidal approach. This study examined the clinical profile of patients with tuberculum sellae meningioma and explored its relationship with scoring systems.

Predicting outcome of hemifacial spasm after microvascular decompression with intraoperative monitoring: A systematic review.

Background: Microvascular decompression has been established as a primary treatment for hemifacial spasm. Intraoperative monitoring is used during the surgery to guide neurosurgeons to determine whether the decompression of facial nerve from the vessel is sufficient. We performed a systematic review to assess the role of lateral spread response (LSR) monitoring in predicting hemifacial spasm outcomes after microvascular decompression.
