Hyperostosis in meningioma: a retrospective exploration of histological correlates.

Purpose: Meningiomas are the most common type of primary brain tumour. Hyperostosis is commonly associated but remains incompletely understood. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between meningioma-associated hyperostosis and other tumour variables.

Immersive virtual reality as a surgical training tool: A cohort study.

Background: Few studies have studied the efficacy of using immersive virtual reality (iVR) to teach surgical skills, especially by using real-world iVR recordings rather than simulations. This study aimed to investigate whether viewing 360° iVR instructional recordings produces greater improvements in basic suturing skills of students without prior medical training, beyond traditional methods like reading written manuals or watching 2D instructional videos.

Materials And Methods: This was a partially blinded randomized cohort study.

Intra-operative extracorporeal irradiation of tumour-invaded craniotomy bone flap in meningioma: a case series.

Background: Extracorporeal irradiation of tumorous calvaria (EITC) can be performed to restore function and form of the skull after resection of bone-invasive meningioma. We sought to examine the rate of tumour recurrence and other selected outcomes in patients undergoing meningioma resection and EITC.

Methods: Retrospective single-centre study of adult patients undergoing meningioma resection and EITC between January 2015 and November 2022 at a tertiary neurosurgical centre.

Results of Surgical Treatment of Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage in a Single Institution Over 12 Years.

Objective: For patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) in whom endovascular treatment is not the optimal treatment strategy, microsurgical clipping remains a viable option. We examined changes in morbidity and outcome over time in patients treated surgically and in relation to surgeon volume and experience.

Methods: All patients who underwent microsurgery for aSAH from 2007 to 2019 at our institution were included.

Technical considerations and long-term results of endovascular venous stenting to control venous hypertension from meningiomas invading intracranial venous sinuses.

Objective: Meningiomas invading the intracranial venous sinuses may cause intracranial venous hypertension, papilledema, and visual compromise. Sinus resection and graft reconstructions, however, add significant complexity to tumor surgery, with the potential for increased morbidity. In this study, the authors explored whether venous sinus stenting might provide an alternative means of controlling venous hypertension that would be sustainable over the long term.
