Intraventricular hemorrhage is a serious intracerebral hemorrhagic disease with high mortality and poor prognosis. This retrospective study designed to investigate the therapeutic effect of transcortical approach surgery versus extraventricular drainage (EVD) on patients with intraventricular hemorrhage.Patients with intraventricular hemorrhage in Zhongshan City People's Hospital from January 01, 2014 to June 01, 2019 were retrospectively examined. They were divided into transcortical approach surgery groups and EVD groups to analyze the clinical characteristics and prognosis.A total of 96 patients were enrolled in the study (24 in the transcortical approach surgery group and 72 in the EVD group). The efficiency of postoperative operation was 15/19 in the transcortical approach surgery group and 24/48 in the EVD group (P = .012). The Glasgow Outcome Scale was 3.63 ± 1.27 in the transcortical approach surgery group and 2.80 ± 1.87 in the EVD group (P = .049). The postoperative residual blood volume was 9.62 ± 3.64 mL in the transcortical approach surgery group and 33.60 ± 3.53 mL in the EVD group (P < .001). The incidence of hydrocephalus after the operation was 1/23 in the transcortical approach surgery group and 19/53 in the EVD group. The 30-day postoperative mortality was 16/56 in the EVD group and 1/23 in the transcortical approach surgery group. The transcortical approach surgery group was significantly better compared with the EVD group.This study showed that the transcortical approach for ventricular hemorrhage compared with EVD improved the hematoma clearance rate, shortened catheterization time, reduced the incidence of postoperative hydrocephalus, decreased patient mortality, led to a better prognosis, and reduced complications of hydrocephalus.

Mixed Transcortical Aphasia (MTA) is an infrequent aphasic syndrome, characterized by poor comprehension and production in oral language abilities and poor performance in written language abilities. However, individuals with MTA typically retain the ability to repeat. Our patient, a woman who suffered from a left hemisphere ischemic stroke involving perisylvian areas, presented with repetition preserved for words, non-words, sentences and numbers, together with marginally preserved reading abilities.

Purpose: Mesial temporal lobe epilepsy is a common form of focal drug resistant epilepsy in adults. Various mesial temporal lobe structures are integral in the genesis of temporal seizures and the hippocampal sclerosis is the primary neuropathological finding in these cases. Surgical treatment is considered the preferred management.

The feasibility of surgical treatment for hemorrhagic deep thalamic lesions is becoming better understood in line with the improvement in microscopic and endoscopic techniques. However, the indications for and approaches to surgical treatment remain unclear. Herein, we report two cases of chronic encapsulated expanding hematomas (CEEH) in the thalamus resected through an exoscopic transcortical-transventricular approach using a tubular retractor.

Background And Objectives: Cavernous malformations (CMs) account for 8% to 15% of all cerebrovascular anomalies and pose clinical significance due to their potential to cause symptomatic hemorrhage, seizures, and focal neurological deficits. While the majority of CMs are located supratentorial, the less common posterior fossa, particularly cerebellar CMs (cCMs), pose a unique treatment challenge. This study aims to contribute to the understanding and management of cerebellar CMs, thereby assisting in the decision-making process for clinical interventions in this patient population.

Objective: Intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) is nowadays a gold standard during brain tumor resections, but visual function mapping is less frequently performed in clinical practice. This article aims to report two transcortical brain tumor surgery cases affecting optic radiation, where the application of intraoperative visual evoked potentials (VEP) combined with tractography was beneficial to protect the patients' vision.
Methods: Two patients with brain tumors compressing the left posterior visual pathways underwent surgery under general anesthesia using IONM and VEP with neurologic improvement and preservation of vision.
