January 2025
The term "intracranial abscess" (ICA) includes cerebral abscess, subdural empyema, and epidural empyema, which share many diagnostic and therapeutic similarities and, frequently, very similar etiologies. Infection may occur and spread from a contiguous infection such as sinusitis, otitis, mastoiditis, or dental infection; hematogenous seeding; or cranial trauma. Brain abscess usually results from predisposing factors such as HIV infection, immunosuppressive drug treatment, surgery, adjacent infection (i.

Traumatic aneurysms represent less than 1 percent of intracranial aneurysms and middle meningeal artery pseudoaneurysms are even rare. Traumatic aneurysms are usually pseudoaneurysms formed by the rupture of all the layers of the vessel wall. They are associated with high mortality as they can present as epidural, subdural, and rarely intraparenchymal hematoma.

Dermoid cysts are congenital inclusion cysts that form during the neural tube closure between the third and fifth weeks of embryogenesis.

Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) management guidelines vary across regions and there is limited research on real-world adherence to these guidelines. We conducted a global survey to assess the adherence of neurosurgeons to TBI guidelines and evidence-based medicine (EBM).
Method: A 24-item survey was created using Google Forms, covering demographic information, neurotrauma training, basic knowledge of EBM, surgical and in-hospital management.
Recurrent Subdural and Epidural Hematomas: A Case Report of Complications Following Craniotomy and Middle Meningeal Artery Embolization.

This report presents a 76-year-old male patient who developed indolent right-sided upper and lower extremity weakness and low back pain following a fall that resulted in no trauma and was not prompted by syncope or vertigo. Imaging revealed a chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) with midline shift, for which the patient underwent craniotomy and middle meningeal artery (MMA) embolization. Despite initial intervention, the patient experienced rare and severe complications, including the recurrence of a subdural hematoma (SDH), the development of an epidural hematoma, and frontal lobe herniation.
