Article Synopsis
- Pediatric intracranial tumors at the skull base are rare, challenging to treat due to complex anatomy, and lack substantial clinical evidence, prompting a study on surgical approaches and outcomes.
- The study involved 12 children under 18 who underwent skull base surgery from 2017 to 2023, analyzing demographics, tumor details, surgical methods, and survival rates.
- Results indicated a predominance of female patients, varying tumor locations and types, with 58.3% achieving gross or near-total resection; however, 33.3% of patients died from tumor progression within an average of 15 months.

Pituicytoma is a rare low degree tumor that arises from pituicytes in the infundibulum and posterior pituitary gland. As they do not have characteristic radiological features, they can be misdiagnosed as pituitary adenoma, meningioma, or craniopharyngioma. Clinically, patients can present with hormonal disturbances, headaches and visual field defects.

Article Synopsis
- Cerebral vasospasm (CV) after tumor resection is uncommon but linked to serious complications, prompting a study into its risk factors.
- A review of 61 studies found that CV occurs more in males with an average age of 47.3, commonly after resection of posterior fossa tumors, especially schwannomas and pituitary adenomas.
- Symptoms usually include altered mental status and weakness, often occurring within the first two weeks post-surgery, and the condition can lead to high mortality rates and significant long-term deficits.

Tuberculum and planum meningiomas are challenging tumors per their critical location and neurovascular relationships. The standard treatment is usually represented by complete tumor removal, being the transcranial approaches the well-established routes. During the last decades, novel surgical routes have been experimented with emphasis on the concept of minimal invasive approaches.
