Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed 81 patients treated for intracranial hemangioblastoma from 2000 to 2022 to identify factors predicting tumor progression and inform follow-up care.
- The average age at diagnosis was 48 years, with 14% of patients having von Hippel-Lindau disease, and the most common tumor site was the cerebellar hemispheres (65%).
- Key predictors of progression included younger age, presence of von Hippel-Lindau disease, multiple tumor locations, and partial resection, suggesting a need for extended postoperative follow-up of at least 10 years for patients with these risk factors.
Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed the diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes of osteomyelitis related to bone flaps after cranioplasty in 144 patients from 2008 to 2021.
- The majority of patients showed wound issues, with common pathogens identified as Staphylococcus aureus and Cutibacterium acnes; surgeries were performed in nearly all cases.
- Findings indicated a significant treatment failure rate of 26.1%, with factors like the initial surgery for brain tumors and specific surgical techniques affecting outcomes, suggesting a need for specialized, long-term care in dedicated centers.
Background: Vestibular schwannomas (VSs) related to neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) are challenging tumors. The increasing use of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) necessitates further investigations of its role and safety.
Objective: To evaluate tumor control, freedom from additional treatment (FFAT), serviceable hearing preservation, and radiation-related risks of patients with NF2 after SRS for VS.
