Anatomy-guided resections for paralimbic tumors in the temporo-insular region: combining tumor and epilepsy surgery concepts.

Object: Tumors in the temporo-mesial region often extend into the insula and vice versa. The present study investigated the results of a surgical strategy that combines principles of tumor and epilepsy surgery.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 157 consecutive patients with intrinsic brain tumors in the temporo-mesial region, with varying degrees of extensions into the insula (44 patients, 28.

Defining the role of surgery for patients with multiple brain metastases.

Purpose: To better define the role of surgery, we investigated survival and functional outcomes in patients with multiple brain metastases.

Methods: Pertinent clinical and radiological data of 131 consecutive patients (156 surgeries) were analyzed retrospectively.

Results: Surgical indications included mass effect (84.

Surgical Treatment of Cerebellar Metastases: Survival Benefits, Complications and Timing Issues.

We retrospectively studied 73 consecutive patients who underwent surgery 2015-2020 for removal of cerebellar metastases (CM). Median overall survival (medOS) varied widely between patients and compared favorably with the more recent literature (9.2, 25-75% IQR: 3.

Early postoperative seizures (EPS) in patients undergoing brain tumour surgery.

Early postoperative seizures (EPS) are a common complication of brain tumour surgery. This paper investigates risk factors, management and clinical relevance of EPS. We retrospectively analysed the occurrence of EPS, clinical and laboratory parameters, imaging and histopathological findings in a cohort of 679 consecutive patients who underwent craniotomies for intracranial tumours between 2015 and 2017.
