[Cranial nerve injuries in children].

Zh Nevropatol Psikhiatr Im S S Korsakova

Published: September 1990

Eleven children with injuries to the cranial nerves were examined. It has been revealed that as a result of surgical interventions, the facial nerve gets affected more frequently. The results of the treatment often appear unsatisfactory because of the late referral of the victims to hospitals for operative treatment.

 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.

Risk factors associated with higher WHO grade in meningiomas: a multicentric study of 552 skull base meningiomas.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Department of Neurosurgery and Neurooncology, First Faculty of Medicine, Charles University and Military University Hospital, U Vojenske nemocnice 1200, Prague, 169 02, Czech Republic.

The histological grade is crucial for therapeutic management, and its reliable preoperative detection can significantly influence treatment approach. Lacking established risk factors, this study identifies preoperative predictors of high-grade skull base meningiomas and discusses the implications of non-invasive detection. A multicentric study was conducted on 552 patients with skull base meningiomas who underwent primary surgical resection between 2014 and 2019.

Normative measurements of the frontal nerve by magnetic resonance imaging in an Australia cohort.

Surg Radiol Anat

January 2025

Department of Ophthalmology & Visual Sciences, University of Adelaide, North Terrace, Adelaide, SA, 5000, Australia.

Purpose: To report the normative dimensions of the frontal nerve (FN) on fat-suppressed suppressed gadolinium (fs-gad) enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Method: A retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent coronal fs-gad T1-weighted MRI. Orbits were excluded if there was unilateral or bilateral pathology of the FN or optic nerve sheath (ONS), incomplete MRI sequences, poor image quality or indiscernible FN on radiological assessment.

Case report: Endolymphatic sac tumor with blurred vision.

Front Oncol

January 2025

The Second Clinical Medicine College, Jinan University, Shenzhen, China.

Introduction: Endolymphatic sac tumor (ELST) is a rare neoplasm that exhibits aggressive growth primarily in the endolymphatic capsule and can potentially affect nearby neurovascular structures. The diagnosis of ELST poses challenges due to its low prevalence, gradual progression, and nonspecific symptomatology. It is currently believed that prompt surgical intervention is recommended for endolymphatic sac tumors upon diagnosis.

We present an interesting case of a 74-year-old female who presented with spinal accessory neuropathy following an ipsilateral right-sided carotid endarterectomy 6 months after the initial injury. Subsequent surgical exploration revealed a surgical clip that had been placed directly across the spinal accessory nerve. Clip removal and neurolysis was subsequently performed, leaving the nerve intact.
