Over a one-year period of time, five stereotactic biopsies were performed in the Greater-Bridgeport hospitals using a new burr hole-mounted stereotactic device. We discuss our results as well as some general considerations on the applicability of this material to the community neurosurgeon.

Department of Anaesthesiology, Adolphe de Rothschild Foundation Hospital, Paris, France.
Background: Aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) deficiency is a rare life-threatening inborn error of neurotransmitter biosynthesis. It is characterized by deficient biosynthesis of neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin, leading to catecholamines deficiency and sympathetic deprivation, while the parasympathetic system remains functional. Since 2012, gene therapy has led to clinical improvements in symptoms and motor function with a severe phenotype.

Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumours (MPNSTs) are aggressive sarcomas that occur rarely in the cervix. Considering the varied clinical features and the absence of a pathognomonic immunohistochemical marker, it is always challenging to diagnose these tumours. Treatment has not been standardised as yet, but a combination of surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy is used to treat MPNSTs of the cervix.

January 2025
Digestive Surgery and Liver Transplantation Unit, Archet 2 Hospital, Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice, Nice, France.
Aim: The lungs represent the second most common site of colorectal cancer metastases. Although surgery is commonly considered the best treatment, many other invasive and noninvasive procedures and treatments have been adopted to improve patient survival and there is no clear evidence in the literature of which is the more effective. The aim of this work was to identify which treatment confers the best gain in overall survival for patients with pulmonary metastases from colorectal cancer.

January 2025
Department of Radiation Oncology, Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, 180 Fenglin Road, Shanghai, 200032, China.
Purpose: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of Helical Tomotherapy stereotactic body radiotherapy (HT-SBRT) in treating multiple primary lung cancers (MPLCs) and second primary lung cancer (SPLC).
Methods: From January 2010 to September 2023, 106 MPLCs and SPLC (T1-3N0M0) underwent HT-SBRT. The cumulative incidence for local recurrence (LR) was calculated using the competing risk approach and compared using Gray's test.

Department of Neurosurgery, Reims University Hospital, 45 rue Cognacq-Jay, Reims, 51092, France.
Frame-based Stereotactic Brain Biopsy (FSBB) is a minimally invasive procedure with a view to increasing the diagnostic yield. The aim of this study was to investigate the accuracy and safety of FSBB with the help of the intraoperative 3D O-ARM system. A preoperative MRI allowed for targeting the tissue to be sampled.
