Background: Chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) is a common neurosurgical pathology causing significant morbidity and mortality, yet optimal management and intervention remains controversial.
Methods: We describe embolization of the middle meningeal artery (MMA) and placement of subdural evacuating port systems (SEPS) by a dual trained open and endovascular neurosurgeon. Both procedures are done in sequence in the interventional radiology suite, and real time radiographic results are demonstrable with Xper-CT.
Conclusions: MMA Embolization followed by evacuation of cSDH with a SEPS is a valuable strategy to mitigate perioperative risk factors and patient comorbidities, through a minimally invasive evacuation with subsequent embolization minimizing recurrence.

Background: Post-neurosurgical bacterial meningitis (PNBM) is a severe complication in patients receiving neurosurgical treatments. Pathogens and neuroinflammation have been reported to influence metabolites in the microenvironment of the central nervous system. However, information about the relationship between neurotransmitter levels and PNBM is still limited.

This review examines the pathophysiology of stroke from infections, involving both direct and indirect mechanisms. Bacterial infections such as tuberculous meningitis and infective endocarditis can directly cause strokes through local inflammation, arteritis, and septic embolism.

Purpose: Information on abnormal diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) patterns in bacterial meningitis (BM) is limited. This study aimed to investigate the frequency and patterns of DWI abnormalities in BM in patients with culture-positive BM.
Methods: The medical records of 14 consecutive patients with BM with magnetic resonance imaging evaluation, admitted to our hospital over the past 14 years, were reviewed.

This case series reports three patients initially managed for presumed infectious meningoencephalitis, who were ultimately diagnosed with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein associated disease (MOGAD). Their clinical presentations were strikingly similar to those of acute infectious meningoencephalitis, which posed a challenge to the initial diagnostic process. Notably, despite the absence of typical radiological changes associated with MOGAD, such as cerebral cortical encephalitis, these patients exhibited focal neurological and electroencephalographic changes.

An eight-year-old female, known to have sensorineural hearing loss due to inner ear anomalies, presented with a history of recurrent attacks of right acute otitis media complicated by bacterial meningitis. Temporal bone computed tomography showed right middle ear and mastoid effusion without bony dehiscence or erosion, with features of common cavity inner ear anomaly on the right side. Given the patient's inner ear malformation, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) otorrhea was suspected.
