Brain ischemia due to direct vascular compression associate with rapid enlargement of unruptured middle cerebral artery aneurysm: A case report
Date of publication: 24-Mar-2021
Background: Acute cerebral infarction is a rare complication resulting from an unruptured cerebral aneurysm (UCA). There is presently no consensus on the optimal strategy for the management of UCAs with cerebral infarctions.
Spinal cord compression from hypertrophic nerve roots in chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy – A case report
Date of publication: 24-Mar-2021
Background: Spinal cord compression secondary to nerve root hypertrophy is often attributed to hereditary neuropathies. However, to avoid misdiagnosis, rare immune-mediated neuropathy such as chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) should not be overlooked. This report presents a case of multilevel nerve root hypertrophy leading to significant cord compression from CIDP.
Letter to the Editor regarding “Comparison of postoperative cognitive dysfunction with the use of propofol versus desflurane in patients undergoing surgery for clipping of aneurysm after subarachnoid hemorrhage,” which is the right time to evaluate?
Date of publication: 24-Mar-2021
Two cases of retained medullary cord running parallel to a terminal lipoma
Date of publication: 24-Mar-2021
Background: Retained medullary cord (RMC) is a newly defined entity believed to originate from the late arrest of secondary neurulation. Some RMCs contain varying amounts of lipomatous tissues, which need to be differentiated from spinal lipomas, such as filar and caudal lipomas (terminal lipomas).
A case of multiple synchronously diagnosed brain metastases from alveolar soft part sarcoma without concurrent lung involvement
Date of publication: 24-Mar-2021
Background: Alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) is a rare soft-tissue sarcoma with a propensity for early hematogenous dissemination to the lungs and frequent brain metastasis. The development of lung metastasis almost invariably precedes intracranial involvement. There are no previously reported cases in which a patient was synchronously diagnosed with ASPS and multiple brain metastasis without lung involvement.
Decompressive hemicraniectomy for acute ischemic stroke associated with coronavirus disease 2019 infection: Case report and systematic review
Date of publication: 24-Mar-2021
Background: Decompressive hemicraniectomy (DH) has been performed for some cases of acute ischemic stroke in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection, but there is little information about the clinical course and outcomes of these patients.
Following the footprints of pioneers on neurosurgery in Iraq: Abdul Hadi Al-Khalili

Emergent carotid artery stenting for cervical internal carotid artery injury during carotid endarterectomy: A case report
Date of publication: 17-Mar-2021
Background: Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) has been the standard preventive procedure for cerebral infarction due to cervical internal carotid artery stenosis, and internal shunt insertion during CEA is widely accepted. However, troubleshooting knowledge is essential because potentially life-threatening complications can occur. Herein, we report a case of cervical internal carotid artery injury caused by the insertion of a shunt device during CEA.
Acute traumatic sequestrated thoracic disc herniation: A case report and review
Date of publication: 17-Mar-2021
Background: Pure sequestrated thoracic disc herniations secondary to a traumatic event are rare.
Invisible compression, anterior fossa tumor causing trigeminal neuralgia
Date of publication: 17-Mar-2021
Background: Trigeminal neuralgia secondary to posterior and middle fossae tumors, whether ipsilateral or contralateral, has been well described. However, this disabling disease has never been reported in the context of anterior fossa neoplasms.
