"Sealing the Gap" : CSF Leakage Demystified-A Comprehensive Analysis of our Experience in CSF Rhinorrhea Management.

CSF (Cerebro Spinal Fluid) rhinorrhoea occurs when the fluid leaks from subarachnoid space into the nasal cavity. The study aims to find out the prevalence and demographic distribution of CSF leak and to describe the site of the CSF leak along with the management. We did a prospective study on 180 patients admitted with head injury in neurosurgery department, along with the patients who came to ENT department with unilateral nasal discharge during the time period from March 2017 to March 2021.

Anatomical Variations of Sphenoid Sinus in South Indian Population: All That You Need for Trans-Sphenoidal Pituitary Surgery.

Pituitary adenomas are one among the most common neurosurgical tumors with an incidence of 10-25% among intracranial neoplasms (Ezzat et al., Cancer 101:613-619, 2004). Surgical management for the same has been practiced since long, and has evolved from trans cranial approach to endoscopic trans sphenoidal method (Hammer and Radberg, Acta Radiol 56:401-422, 1961).

Modified Transclavicular-Transmanubrial Approach to Cervicothoracic Spine: Revisiting and Renovating the Path - Lessons Learned.

Introduction: A thorough knowledge of the vital structures adds to the safety in approaching the cervicothoracic spine junction. The best described method to reach the spine is via viscero-neurovascular space. We present our experience of 10 cases operated at our institute using the modified transclavicular transmanubrial approach to the cervicothoracic spine pathology.

Histopathological Study of Central Nervous System Lesions: Emphasizing Association of Neoplasms with ABO Blood Groups.

Introduction: The Central Nervous System (CNS) lesions show considerable geographic and racial variations with respect to the incidence and the pattern of distribution of lesions. The ABO blood status is a readily accessible factor in genetic constitution of the patients. It has been shown to be associated with many diseases.
