Article Synopsis
- Low-grade gliomas are the most common brain tumors in children and adolescents, often leading to uncontrolled seizures when located in the temporal lobe.
- A review of literature highlights various tumor types, surgical treatment options, and outcomes, indicating that complete resection of tumors is crucial for achieving favorable seizure outcomes.
- Management of these conditions should involve a multidisciplinary team focused on epilepsy surgery, as early and effective intervention significantly improves patient survival and reduces seizure-related issues.
Introduction: The TROPHY registry has been established to conduct an international multicenter prospective data collection on the surgical management of neonatal intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH)-related hydrocephalus to possibly contribute to future guidelines. The registry allows comparing the techniques established to treat hydrocephalus, such as external ventricular drainage (EVD), ventricular access device (VAD), ventricular subgaleal shunt (VSGS), and neuroendoscopic lavage (NEL). This first status report of the registry presents the results of the standard of care survey of participating centers assessed upon online registration.

The training and clinical practice of pediatric neurosurgeons need to be characterized in order to identify gaps in knowledge and skills, thereby establishing a framework from which to elevate pediatric neurosurgical care in the region.
Methods: An online survey for pediatric neurosurgeons was created in REDCap (Research Electronic Database Capture), collecting demographic information and data on pediatric neurosurgical training and clinical practice.
