Background: Surgery for tumors in the cerebellopontine angle is always a significant challenge due to the densely packed neurovascular structures, the narrow deep location, and the complex relationship between the lesions and surrounding neurovascular structures. Recently, great attention has been given to the neuroendoscope for its exclusive advantages, which have added a new dimension to many classical microscopic surgeries. However, the feasibility and advisability of fully endoscopic neurosurgery for cerebellopontine angle tumors remain to be further evaluated.

Introduction: The ZAP-X® Gyroscopic Radiosurgery System (ZAP Surgical Systems, Inc., San Carlos, CA, USA) is expected to be a highly accurate next-generation treatment system that enables gyro-stereotactic irradiation of intracranial lesions. In this study, we report the initial treatment course using ZAP-X for intracranial lesions that recurred after Gamma Knife (GK) treatment.

Introduction: Gliosarcomas (GSM) are rare intracranial tumors composed of both glial and mesenchymal components. Given the rarity of the condition, there is limited literature on their clinical, radiological, pathological features, and treatment modalities.
Methods: Histopathologically confirmed cases of gliosarcomas were retrospectively analyzed.

Article Synopsis
- Pediatric intracranial tumors at the skull base are rare, challenging to treat due to complex anatomy, and lack substantial clinical evidence, prompting a study on surgical approaches and outcomes.
- The study involved 12 children under 18 who underwent skull base surgery from 2017 to 2023, analyzing demographics, tumor details, surgical methods, and survival rates.
- Results indicated a predominance of female patients, varying tumor locations and types, with 58.3% achieving gross or near-total resection; however, 33.3% of patients died from tumor progression within an average of 15 months.
