Intracranial giant tuberculoma: A 7-year institutional experience and literature review.

Background: Intracranial tuberculomas are infrequent with a lower morbidity and mortality compared to tubercular meningitis. Giant intracranial tuberculomas are rarer but important differentials for intracranial space-occupying lesions causing focal neurological deficits depending on anatomical location and size.

Methods: Histopathologically confirmed giant intracranial tuberculomas selected based on institutional size criteria (<12 Years-old: ≥25 mm; 12-18 Years-old: ≥35 mm; ≥18 Years-old: ≥40 mm) were retrospectively reviewed and analyzed for clinical features, radiology, surgical management, and outcomes in patients admitted from 2015 to 2022.

A Middle Path in the Surgical Management of Glomus Jugulare: Lessons Learnt from a Short Series.

Introduction: Glomus jugulare are rare vascular tumors arising from the jugular bulb with intra- and extra-cranial extensions. Although considered benign, these tumors are locally invasive with involvement of critical neurovascular structures causing significant morbidity. Due to their highly vascular nature, they pose a challenge for surgeons.

Is Temporary Proximal Artery Clipping in Arteriovenous Malformation Surgery Safe?

Aim: To describe the authors' experiences with surgical excision of cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) using temporary proximal artery clipping to reduce intraoperative bleeding and excision time.

Material And Methods: Temporary proximal artery clipping was employed by the authors during surgery on 14 patients with cerebral AVMs in a public-sector institution. Seven AVMs were situated in eloquent areas like the sensory, motor, and speech areas and the other seven were located in non-eloquent areas.

Surgical management of scalp arteriovenous malformations using a novel surgical technique-Case series.

Introduction: Scalp AVM (SAVM) is a rare condition. Although surgical excision is considered as definitive treatment for these lesions, troublesome intraoperative bleeding may pose a challenge. Embolization as an alternative modality is gaining popularity.
