A Case of Acute Epidural Hematoma Caused by Mandibular Fossa Fracture.

Department of Neurosurgery, Tohoku University Graduate School of Medicine, Sendai, JPN.
Acute epidural hematoma is one of the most serious traumatic conditions in neurosurgery, for which emergency surgery may be indicated. Injury to the middle meningeal artery (MMA) is generally the cause of hemorrhage, often accompanied by convexity fractures resulting from head trauma. However, an epidural hematoma by a contusion of the jaw is very rare.

Article Synopsis
- Intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) is essential for ensuring patient safety during scoliosis surgery by monitoring spinal cord and nerve function through motor-evoked potentials (MEPs), with anesthesia type affecting the accuracy of these signals.
- A systematic review was carried out, analyzing studies from major medical databases, which evaluated the impact of various anesthetic techniques on neuromonitoring during scoliosis procedures, narrowing down from 998 articles to 45 for detailed analysis.
- The findings suggest that the Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESPB) offers significant advantages over traditional spinal and epidural anesthesia by improving neuromonitoring accuracy, reducing complications, and providing effective pain management, leading to better patient outcomes.
"This is how we do it" Maternal and fetal anesthetic management for fetoscopic myelomeningocele repairs: the Texas Children's Fetal Center protocol.

Prenatal repair of myelomeningocele (MMC) is associated with lower rates of hydrocephalus requiring ventriculoperitoneal shunt and improved motor function when compared with postnatal repair. Efforts aiming to develop less invasive surgical techniques to decrease the risk for the pregnant patient while achieving similar benefits for the fetus have led to the implementation of fetoscopic surgical techniques. While no ideal anesthetic technique for fetoscopic MMC repair has been demonstrated, we present our anesthetic approach for these repairs, including considerations for both the pregnant patient and the fetus.

November 2024
Norton Neuroscience Institute, Norton Healthcare, Louisville, USA.
Hirayama disease (HD) is a rare disorder characterized by insidious asymmetric neurogenic atrophy primarily involving the upper extremities. HD most commonly affects adolescent males and has a favorable prognosis for arrest of progression. Electrodiagnostic (EDX) studies show chronic denervation changes in the distal upper extremity muscles.

Background: Visceral pain is common in cesarean sections conducted under combined spinal-epidural anesthesia (CSE). Epidural volume extension (EVE) is a technique for enhancing the effect of intrathecal blocks by inducing epidural fluid boluses in the CSE. Whether EVE that uses different drugs can reduce visceral pain during cesarean sections is rarely studied.
