Subdural evacuating port system with subdural thrombolysis for the treatment of chronic subdural hematoma in patients older than 80 years.

Objective: The subdural evacuating port system (SEPS) is a minimally invasive approach that can be performed under local anesthesia for the treatment of chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH). Subdural thrombolysis has been described as an exhaustive drainage strategy and found to be safe and effective for improving drainage. We aim to analyze the effectiveness of SEPS with subdural thrombolysis in patients older than 80 years.

Postoperative delayed trapped temporal horn in patients with lateral ventricular trigone meningioma: Risk factors, surgical management, and literature review.

Object: To assess the risk factors for and surgical treatment of delayed trapped temporal horn (dTTH) in patients who had undergone removal of lateral ventricular trigone meningioma.

Method: Patients with lateral ventricular trigone meningioma treated at our institution from 2011 to 2015 were identified. Predictors for dTTH were determined using logistic regression.

Neuroprotective Influence of miR-301a Inhibition in Experimental Cerebral Ischemia/Reperfusion Rat Models Through Targeting NDRG2.

The objective of this study is to find out the potential influence of miR-301a in an experimental cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) rat model through targeting NDRG2. Rats with cerebral I/R injury were constructed and classified into model, miR-301a inhibitor, miR-301a mimic, NC (negative control), siNDRG2, NDRG2, and miR-301a inhibitor + si-NDRG2 groups, as well as another sham group. Cerebral infarct volume and cell apoptosis were observed by TTC staining and TUNEL staining.

Clinical characteristics of and treatment protocol for trapped temporal horn following resection of lateral ventricular trigone meningioma: a single-center experience.

Objective: Trapped temporal horn (TTH) is a rare subtype of loculated hydrocephalus that is often managed surgically. The natural history of TTH is not well understood, and there are few data on the outcomes of conservative management of this condition. The aim of this study was to analyze the clinical features and outcomes of conservatively and surgically managed cases of TTH.
