Fully Endoscopic Microvascular Decompression of the Trochlear Nerve for Treatment of Medically Refractory Superior Oblique Myokymia: Technical Case Instruction and Operative Video.
Oper Neurosurg (Hagerstown)
December 2024
Department of Neurosurgery, Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.
Background And Importance: We describe, to our knowledge, the first report of fully endoscopic microvascular decompression (MVD) of the trochlear nerve in a patient with superior oblique myokymia (SOM).
Clinical Presentation: A 51-year-old female presented with multiple years of intermittent, "jumpy," and "shimmering" visual disturbances. She was diagnosed with SOM.
Management of Petrous and Tentorial Dural Arteriovenous Fistulas: A Systematic Review.
Cureus
November 2024
Department of Surgery, Baghdad Teaching Hospital, Medical City Complex, Baghdad, IRQ.
The petrous and tentorial dural arteriovenous fistulas are vascular malformations that are very infrequent but highly aggressive, with a significant risk of intracranial hemorrhage and neurological deficits. Optimal management remains one of the most debated subjects, with various series reporting endovascular and microsurgical approaches. Therefore, this systematic review aims to assess the efficacy, safety, and outcomes of different treatment modalities of petrous and tentorial dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) based on clinical presentation, imaging techniques, treatment outcome, and complications arising in the course of their treatment.

AJNR Am J Neuroradiol
October 2024
From the Department of Neurosurgery, Fukuoka Seisyukai Hospital, Fukuoka, Japan (J.T.); Department of Neurosurgery, Faculty of Medicine, Fukuoka university, Fukuoka, Japan (K.T., T.K., D.K., S.Y., H.T., K.Y., T.E., H.K., T.M., H.A.); Department of Emergency and Critical Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Fukuoka university, Fukuoka, Japan (H.F., Y.H., M.I.).
Background And Purpose: Efficacy of tumor embolization for posterior fossa meningioma is controversial due to the lack of adequate embolization for dangerous feeders. Of these, a meningohypophyseal trunk (MHT) has high therapeutic value despite the high risks associated with embolization.
Materials And Methods: To analyze the utility of preoperative MHT embolization for posterior fossa meningiomas using BCA with dual balloon protection, a single center retrospective record review was performed on eight consecutive patients who underwent preoperative tumor embolization via the MHT for posterior fossa meningiomas between 2020 and 2024.
Comparison of the Effect of Scalp Block With Ropivacaine vs. Ropivacaine and Clonidine on Postoperative Pain in Patients Undergoing Craniotomy Surgery Under General Anesthesia.
Cureus
August 2024
Department of Anesthesiology, Dr. D. Y. Patil Medical College, Hospital and Research Centre, Dr. D. Y. Patil Vidyapeeth, Pune, IND.
Article Synopsis
- - Clonidine, an α2 agonist, improves hypotensive and analgesic outcomes when added to scalp blocks during surgery, particularly enhancing ropivacaine's effectiveness for postoperative pain management.
- - A study involved 60 ASA grade I and II patients undergoing supratentorial craniotomy, divided into two groups: one receiving ropivacaine alone and the other receiving ropivacaine with clonidine.
- - Results showed that the combination of ropivacaine and clonidine significantly prolonged analgesia duration (9.10 hours vs. 4.30 hours) and reduced tramadol consumption compared to the ropivacaine-only group, with notable differences in blood pressure readings.
Modified colored three-dimensional posterior and temporal cranial fossa model with mobility of the joint between C1 and occipital condyle.

January 2025
Department of Neurosurgery, Nihon University Hospital, Tokyo, Japan.
Background: Skull base surgery requires anatomical knowledge and appropriate surgical technique in bone drilling. We developed a newly modified three-dimensional (3D) model of the posterior cranial fossa as a learning tool that improves knowledge of skull base anatomy and surgical approaches, including skull base drilling techniques.
Methods: This bone model of the posterior cranial fossa was created based on computed tomography data using a 3D printer, and incorporates artificial cranial nerves, cerebral vessels, bony structures, dura mater, and cerebellar tentorial dura.
