Objectives: Restoring complex craniofacial deformities presents numerous challenges. Recent years have seen the development of new surgical techniques aimed at improving operation quality and reducing difficulty. However, designing the reduction volume for the affected region and achieving precise contouring remain difficult tasks.

Late diagnosis, especially in aggressive cases, can lead to surgical challenges. Oxidized regenerated cellulose (ORC) used for hemostasis may result in complications if left in the surgical field.

- - The study examines pediatric intradural spinal arachnoid cysts, which are unusual in children and can cause various neurological issues, emphasizing the importance of recognizing symptoms like weakness, bladder problems, and sensory changes.
- - Researchers evaluated 8 pediatric patients who underwent surgery and found that most commonly, patients experienced weakness in their lower limbs, with successful outcomes following procedures like cyst excision and fenestration.
- - The success of surgery relies on factors like the cyst's location and the extent of nerve compression, highlighting the need for prompt diagnosis and treatment to enhance neurological recovery.
Aim: To analyze the success rates of repeat endoscopic third ventriculostomy (re-ETV) procedure according to ventriculostomy orifice closure types in patients who have undergone a second neuroendoscopic surgery for non-communicating hydrocephalus.
Material And Methods: The study included 74 patients who underwent re-ETV procedure due to dysfunctional ventriculostomy orifice. Ventriculostomy closure patterns are classified into three types: Type-1 is defined as the complete closure of the orifice with non-transparent gliosis or scar tissue.
Purpose: Arachnoid cysts are usually asymptomatic lesions. However, they can sometimes cause intracranial hypertension, headache, seizures, focal neurological deficits, and bleeding. The most commonly used surgical techniques are microsurgical cyst fenestration/excision/drainage, cyst shunting, and endoscopic procedures.
