Background: Main anatomical landmarks of retrosigmoid craniotomy are transverse sinus (TS), sigmoid sinus (SS), and the confluence of both. Anatomical references and guidance based on preoperative imaging studies are less reliable in the posterior fossa than in the supratentorial region. Simple intraoperative real-time guidance methods are in demand to increase safety.
Methods: This manuscript describes the localization of TS, SS, and TS-SS junction by audio blood flow detection with a micro-Doppler system.
Conclusion: This is an additional technique to increase safety during craniotomy and dura opening, widening the surgical corridor to secure margins without carrying risks nor increase surgical time.

Aim: To present the properities of intraoperative sodium fluorescein video angiography (NaF-V) use in intracranial aneurysm surgery and to discuss the limitations of repeated NaF-V administration.
Material And Methods: The clinical findings and imaging results during and after surgery for patients with aneurysm who underwent surgery between September 2020 and June 2022 were examined. NaF-V and micro-doppler imaging were used to control the flow of the parent and perforating arteries and obliteration of the aneurysm dome.

Article Synopsis
- The study discusses the necessity of precise imaging techniques for the surgical removal of arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), highlighting that current methods primarily focus on preoperative imaging and are not adaptable during surgery.
- The authors introduced intraoperative micro-Doppler imaging, which is capable of high-resolution visualization of vascular structures and blood flow in real-time, allowing for better identification of crucial anatomical details during AVM resections.
- The findings suggest that micro-Doppler imaging could serve as an effective supplementary tool to traditional imaging methods, enhancing the understanding of cerebrovascular conditions and improving surgical outcomes.

Owing to their scarcity, location, and intricate neurovascular associations, jugular fossa tumors are among the most challenging pathologies encountered by the neurosurgeon.1 While paragangliomas originate within and often occlude the jugular bulb, schwannomas and meningiomas are extra-bulbar and typically do not impede venous flow.2 Schwannomas typically arise from an extradural origin, expanding the jugular foramen.

Background: Safety and efficacy in surgical treatment of cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are dictated by thorough understanding of angioarchitectural features, intraoperative identification of feeding vessels, and appreciation of surrounding eloquent areas. Our aim was to describe the preliminary results of combined application of color Doppler ultrasound (CDUS) and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in a consecutive surgical series of AVM. We pointed out the tool's efficacy in distinguishing feeding from bystander vessels and in identifying pattern of venous drainage.
