Percutaneous Full Endoscopic Management of Spinal Foraminal Schwannomas: Case Series.
Oper Neurosurg (Hagerstown)
May 2023
Background: Schwannoma, a benign peripheral nerve sheath tumor, is perhaps only secondary to degenerative pathology as the most common lesion at neural foramen. The surgical dilemma here is either risking nerve injury because of inadequate exposure or the need for internal fixation because of facet joint sacrifice.
Objective: To evaluate the feasibility and safety of management of foraminal schwannomas by percutaneous full-endoscopic technique.
Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated how well convolutional neural network (CNN) models can diagnose Chiari malformation type I (CMI) by comparing the craniocervical junction features of patients with CMI to healthy controls using MRI images.
- A total of 148 CMI patients and 205 healthy controls were included, utilizing various MRI slices to train and test the CNN models.
- The results showed that the CNN models had exceptional diagnostic accuracy, with 100% accuracy in one dataset, demonstrating their potential as a reliable tool for diagnosing CMI.
