Pituitary Neuroendocrine Tumors (PitNETs), often treated via endonasal transsphenoidal resection, present a risk for postoperative surgical site infections (SSIs), including intracranial infections such as meningitis. Identifying the risk factors associated with these infections is crucial for improving surgical outcomes and patient care. A retrospective study was conducted at a medical center from June 2020 to June 2023.

Ependymoma (EPN) is a common form of brain tumor in children, often resistant to available cytotoxic therapies. Molecular profiling studies have led to a better understanding of EPN subtypes and revealed a critical role of oncogenes ZFTA-RELA fusion and EPHB2 in supratentorial ependymoma (ST-EPN). However, the immune system's role in tumor progression and response to therapy remains poorly understood.
