Background: Exophytic tumors of the calvaria (ETCs) remain a challenging pathology because of their complex management. The authors discuss the case of a woman with a large exophytic mass of the right frontotemporal region and underline their decision-making process on the management of this unique case and possible similar ones.
Observations: Neuroradiological findings showed a calvarial tumor with both epicranial and intracranial extension involving the frontotemporal bone with a mixed component (lytic and sclerotic) and dural infiltration with a pseudonodular pattern.

Background: Post-laminectomy syndrome (PLS) manifests as recurrent chronic back pain, with or without radiating leg pain, affecting 10-40% of patients following laminectomy. While surgical interventions can alleviate recurrent disc herniation or joint instability, medical management of PLS remains challenging due to unsatisfactory outcomes. Epidural fibrosis is a frequent cause of PLS, leading to nerve root tethering and dural sac compression.

Background: The surgical treatment of pituitary adenomas (PAs) is aimed at achieving maximal tumor resection, relieving the compression, and correcting the disorders of pituitary hormones. Parasellar dural invasion is a primary factor in the failure of the surgery. By comparing the two operations of tumor excision combined with resection of the medial wall of the cavernous sinus (MW) and simple tumor excision, we further confirmed the clinical effectiveness and safety of the resection technique of the MW.

Background: Post-dural puncture headache (PDPH) after an accidental dural puncture (ADP) is a common complication in obstetric analgesia. It has been proposed that inserting an intrathecal catheter (ITC) after an ADP may reduce PDPH incidence and the need for therapeutic epidural blood patch (EBP). Our primary objective was to assess if the insertion of an ITC after an ADP reduces the incidence of PDPH in obstetric patients.

Background: Post dural puncture headache (PDPH) is a major challenging complication and may be a cause of morbidity after spinal anesthesia. Currently there is no definitive management for PDPH, so the search for effective treatment continues.
Objectives: Our aim was to investigate the analgesic effectiveness of oral prednisolone vs oral pregabalin for managing PDPH subsequent to spinal anesthesia for lower limb surgeries.
