Life-threatening pneumocephalus from middle ear defect causing cerebrospinal fluid leakage into the eustachian tube: illustrative case Open
BACKGROUND Spontaneous pneumocephalus is a rare, but potentially serious condition often secondary to a CSF leak. This egress of CSF causes an inward movement of air to replace the lost volume. CSF leaks are typically posttraumatic and pre…

Evaluation of Liposomal Bupivacaine Use in Elective Cerebral Aneurysm Surgery Open
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Liposomal bupivacaine (LB) is a long-lasting formulation of local anesthetic which can be effective up to 72 hours postoperatively. Although it is approved for postsurgical analgesia through local wound infiltrat…

NIMG-64. SURVIVAL IMPLICATIONS OF POSTOPERATIVE RESTRICTED DIFFUSION IN HIGH-GRADE GLIOMA AND LIMITATIONS OF INTRAOPERATIVE MRI DETECTION Open
AIMS In glioma surgery, surgically induced cerebral ischemia may poorly affect overall survival. While intraoperative MRI (iMRI) is an established tool used to maximize extent of resection, its ability to detect cerebral ischemia during su…

Application of Delta T1 Maps for Quantitative and Objective Assessment of Extent of Resection and Survival Prediction in Glioblastoma Open
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Gross-total resection and low residual tumor volume (RTV) have been associated with increased survival in glioblastoma. Largely because of the subjectivity involved, the determination of gross-total resection and…

Resection of a large thoracolumbar intradural ependymoma: a 2D operative video Open
In this video, the authors present the resection of a large thoracolumbar intradural ependymoma in a 33-year-old female. The patient underwent T9–L3 laminectomies, intradural tumor resection, and posterior instrumented fixation and fusion.…

Scalp Incisions With Stairstep Pericranial Edges to Minimize Sequalae from Poor Wound Healing in Supratentorial Brain Tumor Surgery: A Technical Note With Early Results Open
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Wound healing problems are especially prevalent in craniotomies for intra-axial brain tumors as patients often require radiation, chemotherapy, and chronic steroids. Although newer techniques such as minimally in…

Functional and Radiographic Outcomes of Cavernous Meningiomas Based on Treatment Modality Open
Introduction Cavernous sinus meningiomas (CSMs) are challenging given their proximity to neurovascular structures. Treatments include surgery, radiation, or observation. There are little data comparing outcomes based on treatment. This stu…

Cervical spine spondylodiscitis: Review of literature on current treatment strategies Open
Infections of the spine are an ever-increasing health concern requiring an often complex and prolonged treatment that can lead to significant morbidity. Of particular interest is the cervical spine where there is an increase rate of post-i…

Predictors and Complications of Cerebrospinal Fluid Leak after Endoscopic Endonasal Surgery: A Single Institution Retrospective Review Open
Background The endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) is a commonly used technique for resection of sellar, suprasellar, and anterior fossa masses. One of the most troublesome complications of this technique is cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak.…
