Predictive factors of the postoperative proptosis recovery in surgery of spheno-orbital meningiomas.

Objective: This study aimed to identify factors affecting proptosis recovery in spheno-orbital meningioma (SOM) surgery and assess functional and oncological outcomes.

Methods: Data from 32 consecutive SOM surgery cases (2002-2021) were analyzed. Clinical, radiological, operative, and oncological parameters were examined.

Spinal Fractures during Touristic Motorboat Sea Cruises: An Underestimated and Avoidable Phenomenon.

Purpose: Each summer, many vacationers enjoy the Mediterranean Sea shores. Among the recreational nautical activities, motorboat cruise is a popular choice that leads to a significant number of thoracolumbar spine fractures at our clinic. This phenomenon seems to be underreported, and its injury mechanism remains unclear.

Radiological analysis of minimally invasive treatment of type A thoracolumbar fractures based on a series of 135 fractures.

Introduction: Although the reduction of traumatic fractures of the thoracolumbar spine is of good quality during conventional so-called open procedures, the alternative minimally invasive approach also appears to confer good results. The aim of this study was to measure the radiological parameters before and after minimally invasive surgery, in order to assess the quality of the reduction of thoracolumbar compression fractures.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective, monocentric study included 112 patients with a mean age of 48.

Surgical management of large cerebellopontine angle meningiomas: long-term results of a less aggressive resection strategy.

Objective: Cerebellopontine angle (CPA) meningiomas present many surgical challenges depending on their volume, site of dural attachment, and connection to surrounding neurovascular structures. Assuming that systematic radical resection of large CPA meningiomas carries a high risk of permanent morbidity, the authors adopted an alternative strategy of optimal resection followed by radiosurgery or careful observation of the residual tumor and assessed the efficiency and safety of this approach to meningioma treatment management.

Methods: This single-center retrospective cohort study included 50 consecutive patients who underwent surgery for meningioma between January 2003 and February 2020.
