Successful treatment of a symptomatic L5/S1 discal cyst by percutaneous CT-guided aspiration
Date of publication: 10-Aug-2010
Background:Discal cysts are a rare cause of lumbar radiculopathy. Benefits of percutaneous computed tomography (CT)-guided aspiration of the cyst include decreased rate of infection, avoidance of general anesthesia, and quicker recovery. However, since the publication of a case of cyst recurrence after CT-guided aspiration, few have utilized this potentially valuable technique.
Neuroendoscopic evacuation of intraventricular hematoma associated with thalamic hemorrhage to shorten the duration of external ventricular drainage
Date of publication: 10-Aug-2010
Background:We report neuroendoscopic evacuation of an intraventricular hematoma (IVH) in 13 patients with thalamic hemorrhage. We discuss strategies to improve the outcome and to shorten the management period by using external ventricular drainage (EVD).
Imaging features of invasion and preoperative and postoperative tumor burden in previously untreated glioblastoma: Correlation with survival
Date of publication: 10-Aug-2010
Background:A paucity of data exists concerning the prognostic usefulness of preoperative and postoperative imaging after resection of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). This study aimed to connect outcome with imaging features of GBM.

Intradiscal electrothermal therapy in the treatment of chronic low back pain: Experience with 93 patients
Date of publication: 04-Aug-2010
Background:Low back pain (LBP) has become a main cause of absenteeism and disability in industrialized societies. Chronic LBP is an important health issue in modern countries. Discogenic LBP is one of the causes of chronic low back pain. The management of chronic discogenic LBP has been limited to either conservative treatment or operative treatment. Intradiscal electrothermal therapy (IDET) is now being performed as an alternative treatment.
Bifrontal solitary fibrous tumor of the meninges
Date of publication: 29-Jul-2010
Background:We report the case of a bifrontal solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) arising from the meninges. The points of interest in this case report are the particular imaging appearance, the immunohistochemical findings and the surgical features.
Delayed sub-aponeurotic fluid collections in infancy: Three cases and a review of the literature
Date of publication: 21-Jul-2010
Background:Sub-aponeurotic fluid collections (SFCs) in the neonatal period are poorly described in the literature. We describe the occurrence, possible etiologies and treatment of sub-aponeurotic fluid collections following the neonatal period.
