Purpose: Treatment strategies for space-occupying/symptomatic pineal cysts (PC) are still up for debate. In this study we present PC management, outcome data and risk factors for recurrence after surgery, focusing on microscopic/endoscopic procedures vs. stereotactic catheter implantation as alternative treatment concept to permanently drain PC into ventricles/cisterns.

Pesticides can adversely affect reproduction by causing congenital abnormalities, fetal demise, and infertility. The reproductive toxicity of coragen, a modified ryanodine receptor-targeting insecticide with chlorantraniliprole concentrations of 20%, was examined in male rats. Twenty-one healthy male rats were randomly assigned to one of three groups: the control group, two orally administered with low (500 mg/kg) and high (1000 mg/kg) doses of coragen for 8 weeks.

LUMBAR syndrome is characterized by lower body segmental infantile hemangiomas, urogenital abnormalities/hemangioma ulceration, spinal cord malformations, bony deformities, anorectal malformations/arterial anomalies, and/or renal anomalies. Here we present an infant girl with LUMBAR syndrome who was also discovered to have Müllerian agenesis, defined as absent uterus or nonfunctional uterine remnants. While vaginal and uterine duplications are included among the diagnostic criteria for LUMBAR syndrome, this is the first case of associated Mullerian agenesis.

Background: Classic teaching is that spinal anesthesia is safe at or below the L2-L3 interspace. To evaluate this, we sought to determine the percentage of individuals with a conus medullaris termination (CMT) level at or below the L1-L2 interspace. Further, the relationship of CMT level to age, sex, body mass index (BMI), and spinal pathology was examined, as was the reliability of using Tuffier's line (TL) as an anatomical landmark.
