Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify tendency and current issues in research on pediatric brain tumors over the past 20 years and to help researchers and investors explore new directions for future research in this subject.
Methods: Web of Science Core Collection was used for article selection and CiteSpace 5.8.R 1 was used for bibliometric analyses with these articles.
Results: The overall h-index was found to be 131 in the analysis made in a total of 4019 publications on the subject between the years 2000 and 2021. A total of 16,101 authors have published articles on pediatric brain tumors. The most active author in this field was Michael D. Taylor (h-index: 105). The publication which received the strongest citation burst among publications was published in 2016 by Louis et al. published in Acta Neuropathologica, and its content is the World Health Organization's classification of central nervous system tumors. Considering the country contribution, the USA is seen in the leading position. The most publications on the subject were followed by the Journal of Clinical Oncology.
Conclusion: By examining the studies on childhood brain tumors carried out around the world, the subjects that can be determined as the focus were tried to be highlighted. And it has been seen that the scientific and industrial community should work together and the financial support for multidisciplinary studies should increase.

A case of cutaneous melanoma metastatic to the ciliary body and choroid with complete regression via systemic dual checkpoint inhibitor therapy.
BMC Ophthalmol
January 2025
Department of Surgery, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Memphis, TN, USA.
Background: Cutaneous melanoma is the leading cause of death from cutaneous malignancy and tends to metastasize lymphatically and hematogenously to the lung, liver, brain, and bone; it is a rare source of metastatic disease to the eye. Herein we provide a case report of cutaneous melanoma metastatic to the ciliary body and choroid involving clinical examination, slit lamp photography, and B-scan ultrasonography.
Result: A 55-year-old female with known metastatic cutaneous melanoma presented with pain, a large ciliochoroidal mass, visual decline, and diffuse intraocular inflammation.
The concomitant anxiety and depression in patients with epilepsy caused by low-grade brain tumors.

Department of Neurosurgery, Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University, Dalian Road 149, Huichuan District, Zunyi, 563000, Guizhou Province, China.
The aim of the study was to evaluate the concomitant psychiatric disorders of anxiety and depression in patients with epilepsy caused by low-grade brain tumors (LBTs). We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of patients who underwent preoperative neuropsychological evaluations of anxiety and depression and subsequent epilepsy surgery for LBTs. The univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to analyze the risk factors of the occurrence of anxiety and depression.

Currently, the direct endonasal approach is widely used in endoscopic endonasal surgery (EES) for pituitary neuroendocrine tumor. However, a large posterior septal perforation is inevitable. We routinely utilize a modified para/transseptal approach using the combination of a Killian and a contralateral rescue flap incision (PTSA with K-R incision).

Department of Computer Engineering, Inha University, Incheon, Republic of Korea.
The most prevalent form of malignant tumors that originate in the brain are known as gliomas. In order to diagnose, treat, and identify risk factors, it is crucial to have precise and resilient segmentation of the tumors, along with an estimation of the patients' overall survival rate. Therefore, we have introduced a deep learning approach that employs a combination of MRI scans to accurately segment brain tumors and predict survival in patients with gliomas.

We retrospectively collected clinical data on patients with pituitary adenomas treated with transsphenoidal surgery between January 2010 and December 2020. From January 2021 to December 2022, patients with pituitary adenomas were prospectively enrolled.
