Long-term Outcomes of Radical Resection vs. Combined Subtotal Resection and Gamma Knife Radiosurgery for Large Vestibular Schwannomas Open
Objective: This study compares the long-term outcomes of radical resection versus subtotal removal followed by Gamma Knife (GK) radiosurgery for large vestibular schwannomas (VS), focusing on tumor control and neurological function preserv…

Intradural Lipoma at the Craniocervical Junction Presenting with Progressing Hemiparesis: A Case Report Open
Intradural spinal lipomas are rare in an adult population. They are mostly asymptomatic and usually associated with spinal dysraphism in a pediatric population. We report a rare case of spinal lipoma without dysraphism and with progressing…

Bilateral Chronic Subdural Hematoma in the Posterior Fossa Treated with a Burr Hole Irrigation: A Case Report and Review of the Literature Open
Chronic subdural hematoma (CSH) in the posterior fossa is extremely rare. The surgical strategy is still controversial. We report a case of bilateral CSH in the posterior fossa successfully treated with a single-burr hole surgery. A 74-yea…

Trigeminal neurofibroma in the infratemporal fossa arising from the inferior alveolar nerve: A case report Open
Solitary neurofibromas arising from cranial nerves are rare, and those arising from the peripheral divisions of the trigeminal nerve are even rarer. Although infratemporal fossa (ITF) masses are challenging to remove, certain approaches ar…

Nervus Intermedius Neuralgia Treated with Microvascular Decompression: A Case Report and Review of the Literature Open
Nervus intermedius neuralgia is one of the craniofacial neuralgias, which is extremely rare compared with trigeminal or glossopharyngeal neuralgia. Despite its unique symptom, the aetiology remains unclear. We present a case of a surgicall…

Trigeminal Neuralgia Due to Red Vein Draining a Supratentorial Arteriovenous Malformation: Case Report Open
Trigeminal neuralgia (TGN) is rarely caused by arteriovenous malformation (AVM). The AVMs causing TGN are reported mostly in the ipsilateral posterior fossa. The culprit vessels are dilated feeding artery or nidus itself. We present a rare…

mTORC1 signaling in primary central nervous system lymphoma Open
Our data suggest that abnormal activation of the mTORC1 signaling pathway may cause tumor growth in patients with PCNSL.

Trochlear Nerve Schwannoma Treated with Gamma Knife after Excision: A Case Report and Review of the Literature Open
Trochlear nerve schwannomas are extremely rare. We present a surgically excised case of trochlear nerve schwannoma followed by Gamma Knife (ELEKTA, Stockholm, Sweden) after histologic confirmation. A 52-year-old man presented with diplopia…
