Acute presentation of cystic craniopharyngioma is a potentially life-threatening condition, characterized by disability and increased mortality risk, often caused by large cysts with or without hydrocephalus. This study evaluated the applicability of minimally invasive neuroendoscopic surgery (NES) for rapid intracranial pressure relief and tumor control as an alternative to emergent microsurgical resection. A retrospective review of the electronic medical record database of patients with craniopharyngiomas treated at our institution between June 2007 and October 2024 identified 13 non-consecutive cases of acute presentation of cystic craniopharyngioma managed with NES.

Objective: Gliomas are the most common primary tumor in the central nervous system (CNS), with low-grade gliomas (LGG) comprising more than 5 percent of all adult primary CNS tumors. While glioblastoma, the most malignant glioma subtype, is known to present with hemorrhage, LGGs rarely present with hemorrhage. This systematic review investigates LGGs that present as hemorrhage and provides an illustrative case presentation in order to evaluate trends and outcomes for this pathology.

Objective: Our primary objective was to evaluate the safety and feasibility of transcranial direct current stimulation combined with exercise therapy for the treatment of cervicogenic headache. Our exploratory objectives compared symptoms of headache, mood, pain, and quality of life between active and sham transcranial direct stimulation combined with exercise therapy.
Background: Cervicogenic headache arises from injury to the cervical spine or degenerative diseases impacting cervical spine structure resulting in pain, reduced quality of life, and impaired function.

Recent studies have revealed a complex and significant relationship between psychological factors and the onset and progression of migraine. Personality traits, such as neuroticism and harm avoidance, play a crucial role in the development, progression, and treatment outcomes of migraines.
