Background: Apraxia is a motor-cognitive disorder that primary sensorimotor deficits cannot solely explain. Previous research in stroke patients has focused on damage to the fronto-parietal praxis networks in the left hemisphere (LH) as the cause of apraxic deficits. In contrast, the potential role of the (left) primary motor cortex (M1) has largely been neglected.

This study aimed to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of early versus delayed single-stage surgery in patients with hand enchondromas who developed pathological fractures, focusing on local tumor control and hand function, to determine the optimal timing for surgery. Delayed surgical curettage may offer advantages regarding both local tumor control and hand function outcomes.Thirty-five patients who developed pathological fractures due to solitary hand enchondromas and underwent surgical treatment between 2015 and 2021 were analysed.

Background And Objectives: Direct visualization of the aneurysmal neck and its related perforating arteries during microsurgical clipping of posterior communicating artery (PCoA) aneurysms with posterior projection or true PCoA aneurysms through the pterional approach may be difficult and complicated.
Methods: From January 2022 to January 2023, the clinical and angiographic information regarding PCoA aneurysms were retrospectively collected. Among them, 10 consecutive patients with PCoA aneurysms treated with microsurgical clipping via the subtemporal approach in our single institution were included.
