Secondary surgical epilepsy as a predictive recurrence factor in patients with grade I meningioma: An observational clinical study Open
Objectives The World Health Organization (WHO) grade I intracranial meningiomas (IMs) maintain a certain risk of recurrence (~10%) even if a gross total resection is achieved. Most studies analyzing predictive factors of benign meningioma …

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome after Spine Surgery: A Rare Complication in Mini-Invasive Lumbar Spine Surgery: An Updated Comprehensive Review Open
Background: Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a postoperative, misdiagnosed condition highlighted only by pain therapists after numerous failed attempts at pain control by the treating surgeon in the case of prolonged pain after sur…

P17.18.B Augmentative craniotomy in recurrent glioblastoma. Preliminary clinical and radiological outcomes Open
Background The compression of peritumoral healthy tissue in brain tumor patients is considered a major cause of life-threatening neurologic symptoms. This condition is associated with an increase in intracranial pressure. The literature re…

Peritumoral Brain Edema in Relation to Tumor Size Is a Variable That Influences the Risk of Recurrence in Intracranial Meningiomas Open
Peritumoral brain edema (PBE) is common in intracranial meningiomas (IM) and can increase their morbidity. It is not uncommon for a neurosurgeon to confront meningiomas with a large proportion of PBE independently from the site and size of…

The Surgical Risk Factors of Giant Intracranial Meningiomas: A Multi-Centric Retrospective Analysis of Large Case Serie Open
Giant intracranial meningiomas (GIMs) are a subgroup of meningiomas with huge dimensions with a maximum diameter of more than 5 cm. The mechanisms by which a meningioma can grow to be defined as a “giant” are unknown, and the biological, r…

Untreated Anderson Type II Odontoid Fracture with Severe Delayed Atlanto-Axial Dislocation, Lateral Mass Misleading Signs of Fusion, and Posterior Surgical Approach: A Case Report Open
We present a case of untreated type II odontoid fracture, which evolved in severe dislocation 18 months later. Delayed dislocations in untreated type II odontoid fractures are already reported in literature. The singularity of our case is …

Intracranial Meningioma in Elderly Patients. Retrospective Multicentric Risk and Surgical Factors Study of Morbidity and Mortality Open
With the increasing life expectancy, a large number of intracranial meningiomas (IM) have been identified in elderly patients. There is no general consensus regarding the management for IMs nor studies regarding the outcome of older patien…

The Most Significant Surgical Risk Factors of Giant Intracranial Meningiomas: Localization Matters Much More than Grading and Volume of Peritumoral Brain Edema. A Retrospective Clinical Neuroradiological and Immunohistochemical Study Open
Background: Giant intracranial meningiomas (GIMs) are extremely rare and are usually considered arduous to resect totally with poorer prognosis. The real mechanisms by which a meningioma can grow to be defined as "giant" are unknown, as we…

Preserving Visual Functions During Gliomas Resection: Feasibility and Efficacy of a Novel Intraoperative Task for Awake Brain Surgery Open
Objective: The intraoperative identification and preservation of optic radiations (OR) during tumor resection requires the patient to be awake. Different tasks are used. However, they do not grant the maintenance of foveal vision du…
