Hypothalamus-sparing surgery in craniopharyngiomas: Oncological and hypothalamic long-term outcomes Open
Although craniopharyngiomas (CPs) are typically histologically benign and can be cured by radical removal, they are associated with a high level of operative morbidity due to their deep-seated, highly functional location. During the previo…

Support vector machines predict postoperative memory outcomes in temporal lobe epilepsies Open
Objective We aimed to predict the side of epilepsy as well as the pre‐ and postoperative verbal and nonverbal memory performance in a cohort of left and right temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) patients based on hippocampal activations during th…

Connectome-based disentangling of epilepsy networks from insular stereoelectroencephalographic leads Open
Objective Epilepsy is considered as a network disorder of interacting brain regions. The propagation of local epileptic activity from the seizure onset zone (SOZ) along neuronal networks determines the semiology of seizures. However, in hi…

Exploring potential influencing factors of inadherence to specialist aftercare and long-term medication in patients with acromegaly Open
Purpose To improve the understanding of adherence as one major factor of disease control in acromegaly patients, we systematically assessed patients’ motivations to adhere to advised follow-up schedules and recommended medication for acrom…

Investigating the effect of hippocampal sclerosis on parietal memory network Open
Objective We aimed to investigate differences in episodic memory networks between patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) due to hippocampal sclerosis and healthy controls, especially with regards to the parietal memory network (PMN), a…

Robot‐assisted stereoencephalography vs subdural electrodes in the evaluation of temporal lobe epilepsy Open
Objective Invasive video‐electroencephalography (iVEEG) is the gold standard for evaluation of refractory temporal lobe epilepsy before second stage resective surgery (SSRS). Traditionally, the presumed seizure onset zone (SOZ) has been co…

Bilateral inferior petrosal sinus sampling with human CRH stimulation in ACTH-dependent Cushing's syndrome: results from a retrospective multicenter study Open
Objective Bilateral inferior petrosal sinus sampling (BIPSS) is regarded as the gold standard to differentiate between Cushing´s disease (CD) and ectopic Cushing's syndrome (ECS). However, published data on the diagnostic value of addition…

Low-grade inflammation during the glucocorticoid withdrawal phase in patients with Cushing's syndrome Open
Importance Endogenous Cushing's syndrome (CS) leads to profound immunosuppression. Successful surgery induces biochemical remission and reversal of immunosuppression, which is characterized by clinical signs of glucocorticoid withdrawal an…

Differences in intraoperative sampling during meningioma surgery regarding CNS invasion – Results of a survey on behalf of the EANS skull base section Open
Intraoperative sampling methods during meningioma resection vary among neurosurgical departments. There is need for a structured sampling to optimize the diagnostic yield of CNS invasion.

Surgical Treatment of Craniopharyngiomas in Adults: Comparison between Primary Surgery and Surgery for Recurrence Open
Objective Few studies have investigated the differences in outcomes between primary and repeat surgery for a craniopharyngioma in adults. As a result, a treatment concept for adult patients with a craniopharyngioma has not yet been establi…

QLTI-09. DEFINING GLOBAL BENCHMARK OUTCOMES FOR TRANSSPHENOIDAL SURGERY OF PITUITARY ADENOMAS: A MULTICENTER ANALYSIS OF 2862 CASES Open
Benchmarks are important to measure and aid in improve outcomes for surgical procedures. However, best achievable results that have been validated internationally for transsphenoidal surgery are not available. Therefore, we aimed to establ…

Outcome of CRH stimulation test and overnight 8 mg dexamethasone suppression test in 469 patients with ACTH-dependent Cushing’s syndrome Open
Objective To evaluate diagnostic accuracy of the corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) stimulation test and the overnight 8 mg dexamethasone suppression test (DST) for the differentiation of Cushing’s disease (CD) and ectopic Cushing’s syn…

The importance of MRI quality and reader’s experience for detecting an adenoma in Cushing’s disease Open
Objective In Cushing’s disease (CD), detection of an adenoma by MRI is challenging. The aim of this study is to compare real-life MRI in the initial diagnostic workup of CD with high-quality MRI performed in a tertiary center for pituitary…

The prognostic role of the immunohistochemical expression of S100 in meningiomas Open
Background:Despite best clinical management meningioma patients experience tumor recurrence. Efforts have been made to improve the prognostic stratification of meningiomas. Recently a multi-faceted molecular classification suggested that t…

The Current Role of Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy in Meningiomas Open
Meningiomas are the most common primary intracranial tumors. The majority of patients can be cured by surgery, or tumor growth can be stabilized by radiation. However, the management of recurrent and more aggressive tumors remains difficul…
