Bilateral High-Riding Persistent First Cervical Intersegmental Arteries in a Case of Klippel-Feil Syndrome: The Technique of Vertebral Artery Mobilization for C1-C2 Reduction and Fusion for Atlanto-Axial Dislocation and Basilar Invagination: 2-Dimensional Operative Video.

Background/objective: Visual impairment affects 55%-80% of medial sphenoid wing meningiomas (mSWMs) patients, making optic nerve decompression a critical surgical goal. Complete resection often leads to better visual outcomes. However, involvement of critical neurovascular structures increases postoperative morbidity and mortality, with vascular injury reported in 18%-20% of cases.

These aneurysms arise from either the A1-A2-Acom artery junction or Acom artery. The surgical outcome depends on the age of the patient, time duration between ictus and surgery, and Hunt and Hess grade at admission.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how accurately C1 and C2 screws can be inserted using a freehand technique called knock and drill (K and D) in patients with abnormal craniovertebral junction (CVJ) anatomy.
- A total of 682 screws were placed in 215 patients without using fluoroscopic guidance, resulting in a high accuracy rate of 84.46% for screw placement, with malposition rates being similar in both simple and complex cases.
- The research concludes that this freehand technique is effective and safe for managing complex CVJ anomalies and is cost-effective compared to other methods.
Objectives: Stereotactic biopsy (STB) is a potential diagnostic tool considering its minimal invasiveness, high diagnostic yield, and minimal associated complications. Over the years, various frame-based instrument systems and frameless stereotactic biopsy systems have emerged to be employed in clinical use. With this study, we intend to get more by doing less in the form of STB for the patients of doubtful intracranial lesions treated over the past 5 years.
