Rare Case of Gunshot-Induced Head and Neck Injury With Lingual Artery Ligation in Korea: A Comprehensive Case Study.

We present a unique case of a gunshot wound to the head and neck in a 51-year-old male in Korea, where such injuries are extremely rare. The case involved complex emergency procedures including neurosurgery and lingual artery ligation, complicated by worsening cerebral conditions. This report contributes to the limited Korean literature on such injuries, providing insights into their management and the importance of immediate multidisciplinary medical interventions for gunshot trauma.

A Predictive Model for Intraoperative Cerebrospinal Fluid Leak During Endonasal Pituitary Adenoma Resection Using a Convolutional Neural Network.

Background: Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak during endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal surgery can lead to postoperative complications. The clinical and anatomic risk factors of intraoperative CSF leak are not well defined. We applied a two-dimensional (2D) convolutional neural network (CNN) machine learning model to identify risk factors from preoperative magnetic resonance imaging.
