SURG-21. Revisiting the Relationship Between Tumor-to-CST Distance and Subcortical MEP Thresholds in Brain Tumor Surgery Open
BACKGROUND The relationship between tumor-to-corticospinal tract (CST) distance and the subcortical motor evoked potential (scMEP) threshold remains unclear. This study examines how contrast-enhancement charecteristics influence this corre…

Impact of Spinal Canal Anatomy on Pain Outcomes in Spinal Cord Stimulation Therapy for Chronic Pain Open
Preoperative thoracic spinal anatomy, as measured on supine MRI, was not predictive of SCS therapy success. While smaller canal dimensions may increase lead migration risk, they do not appear to affect long-term pain outcomes. These findin…

Risk factors and prognostic implications of surgery-related strokes following resection of high-grade glioma Open
Surgery-related strokes are an important cause of morbidity following resection of high-grade glioma (HGG). We explored the incidence, risk factors and clinical consequences of intra-operative ischemic strokes in surgeries for resection of…

Distinguishing Brain Metastasis Progression From Radiation Effects After Stereotactic Radiosurgery Using Longitudinal GRASP Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced MRI Open
BACKGROUND: Differentiating brain metastasis progression from radiation effects or radiation necrosis (RN) remains challenging. Golden-angle radial sparse parallel (GRASP) dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI provides high spatial and temporal re…

Modern Hearing Preservation Outcomes After Vestibular Schwannoma Stereotactic Radiosurgery Open
BACKGROUND: For patients with vestibular schwannoma (VS), stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) has proven effective in controlling tumor growth while hearing preservation remains a key goal. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate hearing outcomes in the modern…

LOCL-11 EGFR-MUTATED NON-SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER (NSCLC) LEPTOMENINGEAL DISEASE (LMD) IN A LARGE STEREOTACTIC RADIOSURGERY PATIENT COHORT: INCIDENCE AND OUTCOME Open
AIM Patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC brain metastases (BM) treated with targeted agents +/- radiosurgery (SRS) have increasing life expectancies. Systemic treatment may become less effective in preventing CNS progression as survival is pro…
View article: Clinical and prognostic implications of rim restriction following glioma surgery
Clinical and prognostic implications of rim restriction following glioma surgery Open
Rim restriction surrounding the resection cavity of glioma is often seen on immediate post-op diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI). The etiology and clinical impact of rim restriction are unknown. We evaluated the incidence, risk factors and c…

Diplopia outcomes following stereotactic radiosurgery for petroclival or cavernous sinus meningiomas: patient series Open
BACKGROUND Skull base meningiomas (SBM) often present with diplopia due to compression of the abducens cranial nerve (CN VI). The authors evaluated outcomes in 13 patients diagnosed with SBMs who were experiencing diplopia to determine if …

Absence of residual tumor tissue after Gamma Knife radiosurgery followed by resection of a vestibular schwannoma: illustrative case Open
BACKGROUND Late pathology after vestibular schwannoma radiosurgery is uncommon. The authors presented a case of a resected hemorrhagic mass 13 years after radiosurgery, when no residual tumor was found. OBSERVATIONS A 56-year-old man with …

Cervical Cordotomy for Intractable Pain: Do Postoperative Imaging Features Correlate with Pain Outcomes and Mirror Pain? Open
Although a minimal ablation size is required during cordotomy, larger lesions do not indicate better outcomes. DWI metrics changes represent tissue damage after ablation and may correlate with pain outcomes.

NCOG-13. NEUROCOGNITIVE EVALUATION OF BRAIN METASTASES PATIENTS TREATED WITH POST-RESECTION STEREOTACTIC RADIOSURGERY: A PROSPECTIVE SINGLE ARM CLINICAL TRIAL Open
OBJECTIVE: Post-operative radiation therapy for brain metastases (BM) has become standard treatment. Concerns regarding the deleterious cognitive effects of Whole Brain Radiation Therapy (WBRT) spurred a trend to use focal therapies such a…

Acute subdural hematomas in shunted normal-pressure hydrocephalus patients – Management options and literature review: A case-based series Open
Treatment of patients with VPS for NPH, presenting with aSDH, may differ according to the neurological status, imaging, and clinical course. Treatment options include restricting shunt function, hematoma evacuation, or both.
