Frontal sinus fractures (FSF) are relatively uncommon and can be challenging for trauma surgeons to manage. Patients with FSF typically present with facial swelling, pain, and nasofrontal ecchymosis. Here we present a rare case of a patient with FSF and anterior table fracture where the main presenting symptom was bilateral frontal paralysis. We outline our management strategy and review the current literature in regard to management of FSF.

Possible Impact of Peripheral Inflammatory Factors and Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) on Cognitive Functioning in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy-Richardson Syndrome (PSP-RS) and Progressive Supranuclear Palsy-Predominant Parkinsonism (PSP-P).

Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a tauopathic atypical parkinsonian syndrome. Recent studies suggest that inflammation may play a role in PSP pathogenesis, highlighting markers like the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and cytokines such as IL-1β and IL-6. This study aimed to assess the relationship between peripheral inflammatory markers and psychological abnormalities in PSP-RS and PSP-P patients.

Article Synopsis
- A 21-year-old woman with a cerebral cavernous malformation (CCM) experienced headaches, weakness, and aphasia, leading to emergency surgery after her symptoms worsened despite medical treatment.
- Post-surgery, imaging showed no venous obstructions, but significant edema and inflammation were present, indicating a noninfectious cause for her symptoms.
- The use of corticosteroids helped her recover quickly, and she was discharged symptom-free 20 days after the surgery, highlighting the importance of addressing noninfectious inflammation in postoperative care.
Neuronal and oligodendroglial, but not astroglial, tau translates to in vivo tau PET signals in individuals with primary tauopathies.

Tau PET has attracted increasing interest as an imaging biomarker for 4-repeat (4R)-tauopathy progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). However, the translation of in vitro 4R-tau binding to in vivo tau PET signals is still unclear. Therefore, we performed a translational study using a broad spectrum of advanced methodologies to investigate the sources of [F]PI-2620 tau PET signals in individuals with 4R-tauopathies, including a pilot PET autopsy study in patients.

Article Synopsis
- This case report emphasizes the need for comprehensive testing methods, including video-EEG, MEG, and MRI, to accurately diagnose negative motor seizures (NMSs) and differentiate them from other conditions.
- The study presents a 62-year-old patient with drug-resistant focal epilepsy and NMSs, highlighting the importance of monitoring that indicated specific brain activity and muscular responses during seizures.
- Findings from the multimodal evaluations revealed an epileptic zone in the right opercular region, associated with brain abnormalities, thereby improving our understanding of NMSs and their underlying brain mechanisms.
Blindness After Frontal Craniotomy.

In our practice at our department, we have encountered two clinical cases involving the complete loss of vision and ophthalmoplegia after craniotomy on the vascular pathology of the brain. Both patients underwent microsurgery via bifrontal skin incision. In the first case, the subfrontal craniotomy on the right side was made, and then microsurgical resection of an arteriovenous malformation of the right frontal lobe was performed.
