AI Article Synopsis
- Reports on surgical methods via the trans-lamina terminalis and trans-third ventricle are limited, with unknown associated risks.
- After an unsuccessful endovascular surgery on a 78-year-old woman with a ruptured basilar tip aneurysm, direct surgical clipping was performed through the third ventricle.
- The patient experienced transient hypothermia potentially linked to hypothalamic dysfunction, highlighting the need to understand the risk of hypothermia following these surgical approaches despite unclear mechanisms of hypothalamic thermoregulation.
Article Abstract
Reports on the trans-lamina terminalis and trans-third ventricular approach are rare. The risk associated with this approach is unknown. After an unsuccessful endovascular surgery, we performed direct surgical clipping via the third ventricle on a 78-year-old woman presenting with an extremely high-positioned, ruptured basilar tip aneurysm. She experienced transient hypothermia for 5 days, and it was considered that this was due to hypothalamic dysfunction. It is necessary to recognize that there is the potential for hypothermia after surgery via the lamina terminalis and third ventricle, even though the mechanisms of hypothalamic thermoregulation are still unclear.

Subdural hematoma as a complication of endoscopic third ventriculostomy in a pediatric patient: a case report and literature review.
Childs Nerv Syst

Department of Neurosurgery, Hospital de São José, ULS São José, Lisbon, Portugal.
Background: Subdural hematoma (SDH) typically occurs due to traumatic brain injury but can arise as a rare complication of procedures like endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV).
Case Presentation: We report an unusual case in a 9-year-old male with previous resection of a fourth-ventricle ependymoma at 2 years of age. Seven years post-surgery, he presented with worsening hydrocephalus and underwent ETV.

Background: Depressive symptoms are associated with reduced brain integrity. However, it is unclear if this association holds among a racially and ethnically diverse population aged ≥90 years and if there are differences by gender.
Method: The LifeAfter90 Study enrolled 212 long-term members of Kaiser Permanente Northern California who were ≥90 years old, without dementia diagnosis, and received neuroimaging via 3T MRI.

Biological ageing can be defined as a gradual loss of homeostasis across various aspects of molecular and cellular function. Mammalian brains consist of thousands of cell types, which may be differentially susceptible or resilient to ageing. Here we present a comprehensive single-cell RNA sequencing dataset containing roughly 1.

Background: Ventricular separation is a multipart, extensive disease of the heart that hinders the electrical conduction of the cardiac system ventricular muscle, causing a bidirectional conduction block. The occurrence of ventricular separation suggests that the myocardium is in a state of severe ischemia, and the prognosis is generally poor. Herein, we present arescue case in which the extremely rare phenomenon of ventricular separation developed and was documented in realtime.

Introduction: Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy (ETV) is a well-established treatment for pediatric hydrocephalus, particularly in cases of aqueductal stenosis. The ETV Success Score (ETVSS) is a predictive tool widely used to estimate the likelihood of ETV success based on factors like age. Its accuracy, especially in infants under 3 months, is still debated.
