Background: Ameloblastoma is a benign odontogenic epithelial tumor with local infiltration and a high recurrence rate that occurs most frequently in the jawbone. The aim of this study was to investigate the outcomes of fenestration decompression combined with secondary curettage (FDSC) in the surgical treatment of jaw ameloblastoma, and clarify the possibility of FDSC to become an appropriate therapeutic method for ameloblastoma with large lesion.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was carried out in 145 patients diagnosed with multicystic ameloblastoma (MA) and 88 patients with unicystic ameloblastoma (UA). These patients were divided into two groups based on the therapeutic regimen: the FDSC group and the local curettage (LC) group. Panoramic radiography was taken 2 years after curettage to evaluate the change in lesion area in each case, and the therapeutic effects of different treatment methods were further assessed by the chi square test.
Results: For MA, the effective rate of cystic cavity area reduction in the FDSC group (71.19%) was higher than that in the LC group (30.23%) (P < 0.001). For UA patients, the effective rate of lesion area reduction after FDSC was 93.02%, which was higher than that after LC (53.33%) (P < 0.001). Moreover, the recurrence rate of the FDSC group in the MA was 30.51%, which was significantly different from that of the LC group (P < 0.001). Regarding UA, the recurrence rates were 13.95% and 28.89%, after FDSC and LC, respectively, with no significant differences between the two groups (P > 0.05).
Conclusions: FDSC exhibits a much better curative effect than LC in both MA and UA, whereas the recurrence rate of these two therapeutic strategies did not significantly differ in UA. The above data demonstrated that FDSC may serve as a routine, safe, effective and appropriate surgical treatment plan for MA or UA patients with large lesions.

Background: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Optic Nerve Sheath Fenestration (ONSF) in improving visual outcomes in patients with Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH).
Methods: A meta-analysis was conducted using data from 19 studies, totaling 1159 observations. The main assessed outcomes after ONSF surgery were: the improvement in visual acuity, the improvement in visual fields and reduction in papilledema.
A systematic review of surgical and interventional radiology procedures for pediatric idiopathic intracranial hypertension.

Background: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is defined as elevated intracranial pressure and consequent symptoms (mainly headache and visual deterioration) occurring in the absence of secondary causes. Surgical and interventional radiology procedures should be considered for refractory IIH and mainly include cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) diversion techniques, optic nerve sheath fenestration (ONSF), and venous sinus stenting (VSS). Our study aims to review the current literature on the application of these techniques in clinical practice.

Surgical interventions for arachnoid cysts and glioependymal cysts primarily focus on cyst decompression and establishing communication with cerebrospinal fluid spaces. However, a standardized surgical strategy for symptomatic convexity cysts lacking surrounding cerebrospinal fluid space is still lacking due to the limited number of cases. This systematic review aims to evaluate surgical interventions for symptomatic convexity cysts and proposes a safe and effective treatment approach we have developed.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates perioperative pain experienced by patients after lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) surgery, noting that some patients report significant site pain immediately post-operation despite it being a minimally invasive procedure.
- It involved 93 patients who underwent different types of lumbar surgeries, categorizing them into groups based on the surgical method used and assessing pain levels using the visual analog scale (VAS) over 14 days post-surgery.
- The findings revealed that patients in the LLIF group experienced higher pain scores compared to those who underwent posterior decompression, especially in the first nine days post-operation, and identified relationships between early pain levels and factors like disc height index and preoperative disc degeneration.

Article Synopsis
- - The study focused on surgical interventions for trapped temporal horn (TTH) after removing specific brain tumors, analyzing data from patients treated at three centers between 2012 and 2022.
- - A total of 31 patients were reviewed, with various underlying conditions, and the results showed a 19.3% rate of needing multiple surgeries, highlighting the effectiveness of CSF shunting as the safest option.
- - The findings suggested that while CSF shunting is effective, endoscopic septostomy may also work well for certain cases, while operations like decompressive craniectomy are less effective and not recommended.
