A stereotaxic frame, compatible with digital subtraction angiography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging, is described along with a set of software programs that run in an independent imaging computer system, as well as in the computers associated with each modality. Plexiglas plates fastened to the sides of the frame contain fiducial markers that can be recognized in the images and from which the section position and in-plane coordinates of any point in the image relative to the frame may be determined. Coordinate measurements of isolated point targets may be made to an accuracy of better than +/- 1 mm within a 15-cm field of view in the plane of the section or projection on all modalities. The stereotaxic system is of sufficiently high accuracy to be used on a routine clinical basis with one or more of the above modalities.

Department of Neurosurgery, Faculty of Medicine, Azad Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.
Background: Pedicle screw insertion in posterior spinal surgery can cause vascular injuries, including rare intercostal artery pseudoaneurysms, which are typically discovered incidentally during reimaging. Onyx embolization is an effective treatment for small artery pseudoaneurysms.
Observations: A 36-year-old man who had initially presented with back pain that remained unresponsive to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs was diagnosed with a T7-8 sarcomatous lesion confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging and biopsy.
Aggressive Behavior of Recurrent Middle Cerebral Artery Aneurysms: A Case Series.
Cureus
December 2024
Vascular Neurosurgery, National Institute of Neurology and Neurosurgery, Mexico City, MEX.
The bifurcation of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) is one of the most common sites for the formation of cerebral aneurysms, presenting significant challenges for surgical management. A primary concern in this area is the recurrence of aneurysms following surgical clipping, which necessitates a thorough investigation of the contributing factors. This study examined all cases of rebleeding from previously clipped MCA aneurysms among 195 surgically treated patients over an 11-year period.

Intramedullary spinal cord metastasis (ISCM) is a rare manifestation of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). A 73-year-old man presented with left shoulder pain and left upper extremity weakness for two months. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed intramedullary and intradural extramedullary lesions at the C5 level, compressing the spinal cord from the center of the cord and the left ventral side.
