Refining computer-assisted SEEG planning with spatial priors - A novel comparison of implantation strategies across adult and paediatric centres.

Neurophysiol Clin

January 2025

Developmental Neurosciences, UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health, London, WC1N 1EH, UK; Department of Neurosurgery, Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children, London, WC1N 3JH, UK.

Objectives: Computer-assisted planning (CAP) allows faster SEEG planning and improves grey matter sampling, orthogonal drilling angles to the skull, reduces risk scores and minimises intracerebral electrode length. Incorporating prior SEEG trajectories enhances CAP planning, refining output with centre-specific practices. This study significantly expands on the previous work, compares priors libraries between two centres, and describes differences between SEEG in adults and children in these centres.

Combined Fronto-orbital Contouring and Orthognathic Surgery in Craniometaphyseal Dysplasia.

Plast Reconstr Surg Glob Open

December 2024

From the Department of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, São Leopoldo Mandic, São Paulo, Brazil.

Craniometaphyseal dysplasia is a rare congenital sclerosing skeletal dysplasia that presents with facial dimorphism and is clinically described by prominent supraorbital bridges, severe retrognathia, and respiratory problems. Fronto-orbital cranioplasty is necessary to achieve satisfactory aesthetic outcomes. The supraorbital arches were exposed to the nasal bone through coronal access, with the help of a saw and a wear drill, and osteotomy of the frontal and orbital regions with hyperostosis was performed.

 The lateral supraorbital (LSO) approach is a less-invasive alternative to the pterional craniotomy that provides rapid transsylvian access. Establishing familiarity with the LSO technique and its features as compared with other anterolateral approaches is an important component of advanced skull base training. We present a step-by-step demonstration of the LSO approach using cadaveric dissection in a manner that is digestible for trainees at various levels.

Background: Common carotid artery occlusion (CCAO) sometimes requires vascular reconstruction. Ipsilateral superficial temporal artery (STA)-middle cerebral artery (MCA) bypass is unsuitable due to insufficient blood flow to the external carotid artery. The bonnet bypass, one treatment option for CCAO, requires a long coronal incision and bone groove to prevent malposition and collapse of an interposition graft.

Introduction And Importance: Penetrating brain injuries from chopsticks are exceedingly rare, often documented through case reports. Management strategies are tailored to individual cases, with a focus on mitigating postoperative complications.

Case Presentation: A 33-year-old male presented with a chopstick lodged in his right eye.
