Article Synopsis
- The study explores the use of an anterior selective target (AST) for radiosurgical treatment of trigeminal neuralgia, contrasting it with conventional targets like the Retrogasserian Zone (RGZ) and the Root Entry Zone (REZ).
- It analyzed the outcomes of 66 patients over various time frames for pain relief, medication dependence, and side effects, finding similar effectiveness across all groups but shorter treatment times and lower brainstem doses for the AST group.
- The results suggest that AST is a viable alternative to classical methods for select patients, warranting further investigation in larger studies.
The suprafloccular transhorizontal fissure approach is a modified variant of the classical retrosigmoid approach option to be chosen for cerebellopontine angle lesions. In this study, we aimed to demonstrate a previously described but not widely used method, the suprafloccular transhorizontal fissure approach with anatomical dissection on the cadaver, accompanied by a case presentation with the largest clinical series in the literature. Klingler's protocol was used to prepare 8 silicone injected and 8 non-silicone injected human hemispheres.

Material And Methods: A total of 295 patients with Grade 1 residual Meningiomas (197 women, 98 men), who were treated by adjuvant radiosurgery in Gazi University Gamma Knife Center between 2004-2015 were analyzed. WHO Grade 2 and 3 meningiomas were not included in our study.
Objectives: Hyperactive dysfunction syndrome (HDS) is defined as symptoms arising from overactivities in cranial nerves, like trigeminal neuralgia (TN), hemifacial spasm (HFS), and glossopharyngeal neuralgia (GPN). A combination of these cranial nerve neuralgias, that might or might not occur in one or both sides, either synchronously, or metachronously is called combined hyperactive dysfunction syndrome (CHDS).
Case Presentation: We presented a 73 years-old male patient with CHDS presenting with GPN as the initial symptom, with total relief from GPN, TN, and HFS after microvascular decompression.
