Short-Latency Trigeminocervical Reflex Obtained Without Muscle Activation: Topographic Distribution and Methodological Approach.
J Clin Neurophysiol
November 2024
Department of Clinical Neurophysiology, Federal University of São Paulo, São Paulo, SP, Brazil.
Purpose: Electrical stimulation of trigeminal nerve branches elicits early and late reflex responses in the cervical muscles, known as the trigeminocervical reflex (TCR). This study aimed to evaluate the neurophysiological aspects, stimulation patterns, and topographic distribution of short-latency TCR components in humans in the absence of voluntary muscle activation.
Methods: This prospective observational study included 30 participants.
Neuraxial biomechanics, fluid dynamics, and myodural regulation: rethinking management of hypermobility and CNS disorders.

Individuals with joint hypermobility and the Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes (EDS) are disproportionately affected by neuraxial dysfunction and Central Nervous System (CNS) disorders: such as Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension (SIH) due to spinal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks, Upper Cervical Instability (UCI; including craniocervical or atlantoaxial instability (CCI/AAI)), Occult Tethered Cord Syndrome (TCS), Chiari Malformation (CM) and Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH). The neuraxis comprises the parts of the nervous system (brain, nerves, spinal cord) along the craniospinal axis of the body. Neuraxial tissue includes all tissue structures that comprise, support, sheath, and connect along the neuraxis and peripheral nerves.

Department of Neurosurgery, School of Medicine, Hamadan University of Medical Sciences, Hamadan, Iran.
Background: Giant prolactinoma (size > 4 cm) is a rare condition and accounts for less than 1% of pituitary adenomas. In even rarer cases, these lesions may involve craniocervical structures requiring surgical intervention. The present case is the largest reported giant prolactinoma (99 × 72 × 57 mm).

Dr Mahwish Shoaib, FCPS Radiology. Assistant Professor, Department of Diagnostic Radiology, Punjab Institute of Neurosciences, Lahore, Pakistan.
Background And Objective: Chiari I Malformation-associated syringomyelia (CM) and idiopathic syringomyelia (IS) are often confused together. They require different diagnostic approach and treatment modalities; it is important to distinguish between the two. We aimed to evaluate the radiological and morphologic characteristics of CM and IS in adult and pediatric patients in Pakistani population.

Acta Neurochir (Wien)
December 2024
Department of Neurosurgery, National Center for Neurological Disorders, Huashan Hospital, Shanghai Medical College, Fudan University, No. 12 Wulumuqi Zhong Road, Shanghai, 200040, China.
Background: Craniocervical junction (CCJ) dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) represent a rare yet critical vascular anomaly that may result in significant neurological impairments.
Method: We report the case of a 52-year-old male with a history of medullary hemorrhage who underwent surgical intervention for a left CCJ DAVF. Through comprehensive surgical planning and meticulous intraoperative monitoring, multiple feeders of the DAVF were safely coagulated and transected, with successful DAVF obliteration confirmed by intraoperative angiography.
