A titanium implant for Chiari malformation Type 1 surgery
Date of publication: 23-Feb-2021
Background: Concepts of Chiari malformation Type 1 (CM1) surgery in the present time significantly different. The most common complications are pseudomeningocele (12%) and postoperative CSF leak (5%). The development of pseudomeningocele may be associated with inappropriate restoration of bone and muscles relations.
Seizure outcome in moyamoya after indirect revascularization in pediatric patients: Retrospective study and literature review
Date of publication: 23-Feb-2021
Background: Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a unique cerebrovascular disorder characterized by progressive stenosis of anterior cerebral circulation. Moyamoya is not an uncommon disease in Saudi Arabia. Although a less common symptom of the disease, the incidence of seizure in MMD ranges from 6 to 30%. Indirect revascularization through Encephaloduroarteriosynangiosis technique is one of the surgical treatment options for MMD. In our cohort, we aim to evaluate seizure outcome in pediatric patients with moyamoya.
A new device for bone cranial flap fixation: Technical note and surgical remarks. A multicentric experience
Date of publication: 23-Feb-2021
Background: Fixation of bone flaps after craniotomy is a routine part of every neurosurgical procedure. The ideal fixation device should be safe, reliable, biologically inert, easy to use, and inexpensive and should not produce artifacts on neuroimaging. The authors describe a new device that meets these criteria.
Prevalence of anemia in pediatric patients of traumatic brain injury and problems associated with management in a developing country: Unfolding of an underrated comorbidity
Date of publication: 23-Feb-2021
Background: Pediatric anemia has a high prevalence in developing countries such as Pakistan. It is common knowledge among hospital specialties but little is done to manage this condition by hospitalists. The issue is compounded with a poor primary care infrastructure nationally. The aim of this study is to bring to light the high prevalence of anemic children in neurosurgery and to describe the difficulties in managing their anemia in a tertiary hospital setting. A literature review is presented highlighting the socioeconomic difficulties that contribute to this widespread comorbidity and the difficulty in managing it from a hospital specialty point of view.
Ring enhanced aneurysm due to vasa vasorum of aneurysm wall mimicking a metastatic brain tumor
