Three dimensional computed tomography was performed in 150 children suffering from a bone lesion of the base of the skull and face. These lesions were either malformative, neoplastic, infectious or traumatic. 3D CT provided an essential anatomical approach to the lesions facilitating the choice of the most appropriate treatment. 3D CT is also indicated in the follow-up of these operated children, particularly of the growth of the operated bone segment and its relations with adjacent structures.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bisphenol A-glycidyl methacrylate (bis-GMA) without UV light polymerization for the repair of refractory iatrogenic cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks with large skull base defects.
Background: CSF leakage remains a common complication after neurosurgical interventions with a substantial resultant impact on morbidity and increased healthcare costs. The management of refractory CSF leaks with large skull base defects remains challenging.

Instrumentation of C2 vertebra is considered the most difficult for young neurosurgeons and trainees due to its complex anatomical structures, variety of surgical approaches and techniques, and proximity to important neurovascular structures. Key points from a surgical perspective for midline posterior approach is described in the era of neuroradiological advancements. Computed tomography angiographies (CTAs) of a total of 92 patients were evaluated with special attention to the key findings for insertion of screws for craniovertebral junction (CVJ) fixations.

In this research, the authors provide a retrospective cohort study of 82 patients with suprasellar meningiomas to identify predictors of the visual outcome following surgery. We also conducted a matched retrospective case-control analysis. This retrospective cohort study included all patients who underwent craniotomy for surgical excision of suprasellar meningiomas at our institution between January 2016 and March 2022.

The abducens nerve has a long, serpentine subarachnoid course with complex topographical relationships, rendering abducens nerve palsy the most common ocular motor cranial nerve palsy in adults and second most common in pediatric patients, with anatomical variants reported in the literature. Preoperative awareness of abducens nerve variant anatomy may help prevent inadvertent intraoperative injury. This study is a case report with a review of the abducens nerve anatomy and variants.
