Surgical management and outcome of primary intracranial Rosai-Dorfman disease: a single-institute experience and pooled analysis of individual patient data.

Primary intracranial Rosai-Dorfman disease (PIRDD) is considered a nonmalignant nonneoplastic entity, and the outcome is unclear due to its rarity. The study aimed to elaborate the clinic-radiological features, treatment strategies, and progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with PIRDD. Patients with pathologically confirmed PIRDD in our institute were reviewed.

Five-year symptomatic hemorrhage risk of untreated brainstem cavernous malformations in a prospective cohort.

Hemorrhage of brainstem cavernous malformation (CM) would cause various symptoms and severe disability. The study aimed to elaborate on the 5-year actuarial cumulative hazard of symptomatic hemorrhage. Patients diagnosed in our institute between 2009 and 2013 were prospectively registered.

The clinicoradiological features and surgical outcomes of primary intracranial fibrosarcoma: a single-institute experience with a systematic review.

Primary intracranial fibrosarcoma (PIF) was a rare tumor with a high relapse rate and dismal survival rate. This study aimed to delineate the clinical characteristics of primary intracranial fibrosarcoma (PIF) and the risk factors for outcomes. We reviewed 15 PIF patients, who underwent surgical treatment at our institution from January 2009 to December 2018.

Proposed Treatment for Intracranial Transitional Meningioma: A Single-Center Series of 298 Cases.

Objective: We retrospectively assessed the surgical outcomes of transitional meningioma (TM) in a relatively large series to evaluate the long-term outcomes and propose an appropriate treatment strategy for TM.

Methods: We included 298 patients who had undergone surgery from September 2011 to August 2013. The clinical characteristics, surgical record, and follow-up data for these patients were retrieved.

Skull Base Juvenile Psammomatoid Ossifying Fibroma: Clinical Characteristics, Treatment, and Prognosis.

Objective: The diagnosis and management for juvenile psammomatoid ossifying fibroma (JPOF) of the skull base are challenging, and clinical data are limited.

Methods: A retrospective review of JPOF was performed, and the clinical characteristics, treatment strategy, and prognosis were analyzed.

Results: There were 23 patients pathologically confirmed with JPOF, most with JPOF located in the skull base area (19/23, 82.

Clinical features, radiological profiles, and surgical outcomes of primary intracranial solitary plasmacytomas: a report of 17 cases and a pooled analysis of individual patient data.

Purpose: We aim to delineate the clinical characteristics of patients with primary intracranial solitary plasmacytoma (PISPC) and prognostic factors for their outcomes.

Methods: This study retrospectively reviewed 17 patients with PISPC from our center and an additional 70 cases of PISPC published previously to analyze outcome predictors.

Results: The entire cohort included 38 (43.

Overall Survival of Primary Intracranial Atypical Teratoid Rhabdoid Tumor Following Multimodal Treatment: A Pooled Analysis of Individual Patient Data.

No standard treatment protocol to guide the management of the primary central nervous system atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumors (ATRTs). To evaluate the efficacy of GTR (gross total resection), RT (radiotherapy), CCMT (conventional chemotherapy), or intensified chemotherapy (ICMT) and verify the optimal treatment strategy. A total of 501 cases (18 cases from our center and 483 cases from published literature) were eligible for analysis.

Management and outcomes of pregnant patients with central nervous system hemangioblastoma.

The study aims to assess the management and maternal and fetal outcomes of pregnancies complicated by central nervous system (CNS) hemangioblastoma. Twenty-four female patients with CNS hemangioblastoma, who were pregnant in a tumor-burden status, were identified. Their medical charts, treatments, and follow-up materials were carefully reviewed.
