A retrospective study comprising 228 cases of pediatric scalp and skull lesions.

Background: Most neurosurgery presentations in children present with a mass that may be scalp and skull lesions, including neoplastic and congenital malformed structural lesions, respectively. Clinicians should make early diagnoses and identify cases requiring surgical intervention promptly to help achieve a better prognosis.

Method: This study retrospectively reviewed studies on children's scalp and skull lesions within a pediatric medical center's department of neurosurgery.

The clinical treatment and outcome of cerebellopontine angle medulloblastoma: a retrospective study of 15 cases.

Medulloblastoma (MB) is the most common malignant pediatric brain tumor arising in the cerebellum or the 4 ventricle. Cerebellopontine angle (CPA) MBs are extremely rare tumors, with few cases previously described. In this study, we sought to describe the clinical characteristics, molecular features and outcomes of CPA MB.

Auditory Rehabilitation in Rhesus Macaque Monkeys (Macaca mulatta) with Auditory Brainstem Implants.

Background: The auditory brainstem implants (ABIs) have been used to treat deafness for patients with neurofibromatosis Type 2 and nontumor patients. The lack of an appropriate animal model has limited the study of improving hearing rehabilitation by the device. This study aimed to establish an animal model of ABI in adult rhesus macaque monkey (Macaca mulatta).
