[Neurosurgical treatment of developmental defects of the nervous system (ddns) in infants].

Neurol Neurochir Pol

Oddziału Neurochirurgii Pediatrycznej Kliniki Chirurgii Dzieciecej Instytutu Pediatrii AM w Poznaniu.

Published: December 1989

In a survey of 151 children treated surgically in the earliest period of life the author discusses the complex pathomechanism of damage to the nervous tissues in various age groups indicating important elements in the surgical management which may prevent secondary changes impairing human development in further life periods. In the follow-up 89.4% of children the previously inhibited development was resumed, at the level determined by the preserved nervous structure.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bisphenol A-glycidyl methacrylate (bis-GMA) without UV light polymerization for the repair of refractory iatrogenic cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks with large skull base defects.

Background: CSF leakage remains a common complication after neurosurgical interventions with a substantial resultant impact on morbidity and increased healthcare costs. The management of refractory CSF leaks with large skull base defects remains challenging.

Chronic subdural hematoma is a common condition in neurosurgical practice. It is usually treated by burr-hole surgery. Patients with coagulopathies such as antiphospholipid syndrome, are at increased risk of complications, and careful consideration of the patient's specific risk of both bleeding and thromboembolic complications must guide medical management.

Anesthesia for the Pregnant Patient Undergoing Intracranial Procedures.

J Neurosurg Anesthesiol

January 2025

Department of Anesthesiology, Pharmacology and Therapeutics, University of British Columbia.

This focused review explores the current literature on anesthetic care of pregnant patients requiring intracranial intervention. Neuropathology in pregnancy is rare, and existing evidence for management remains limited by the ethical complexities surrounding maternal and fetal research-related risks; pregnant women are typically excluded from randomized controlled trials. Physiological changes during pregnancy, combined with additional fetal considerations, alter pharmacodynamics and complicate the safety profile of maternal interventions.

Purpose: Posterior fossa ring-enhancing lesions (PFREL) in the adult immunocompetent hosts pose a diagnostic challenge. We aimed to evaluate the spectrum of PFREL etiologies and propose a diagnostic algorithm.

Methods: This study involved a retrospective analysis of PFREL cases from our institution (January 2023 to April 2024) and a systematic literature review conducted using Embase and PubMed databases following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines.

Microsurgical Reconstruction of Complex Scalp Defects With Vastus Lateralis Free Flap.

Microsurgery

February 2025

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Department of Precision Medicine in Medical, Surgical and Critical Care (Me.Pre.C.C.), University of Palermo, Palermo, Italy.

Background: Scalp reconstruction is a challenging field for plastic surgeons. In case of large or complex defects, microsurgical-free flaps are usually required. Reconstructive failure can result in high morbidity and in some cases be life-threatening.
