Cirugía fetal de mielomeningocele: Evolución obstétrica y resultados perinatales a corto plazo de una cohorte de 21 casos
Date of publication: 26-Nov-2018
Objetivo:Describir la técnica quirúrgica, evolución obstétrica y resultados perinatales de una cohorte de pacientes sometidas a cirugía intrauterina para reparación de una disrafia fetal abierta (DFA).
Surgery for traumatic fractures of the upper thoracic spine (T1–T6)
Date of publication: 19-Nov-2018
Background:The management of traumatic upper thoracic spine fractures (T1–T6) is complex due to the unique biomechanical/physiological characteristics of these levels and the nature of the injuries. They are commonly associated with multiple other traumatic injuries and severe spinal cord injuries. We describe the safety and efficacy of surgery for achieving stability and maintaining reduction of upper thoracic T1–T6 spine fractures.
Artery of Percheron infarction results in severe bradycardia: A case report
Date of publication: 19-Nov-2018
Background:The thalamus is normally supplied by each posterior cerebral artery (PCA). The artery of percheron is a variant of this anatomy as it arises as a single trunk unilaterally from the PCA to supply the thalamus bilaterally. Occlusion of this artery is rare, and the diagnosis is usually missed without obtaining an MRI.
Bilateral blunt cerebrovascular injury resulting in direct carotid-cavernous fistulae: A case report and review of the literature
Date of publication: 19-Nov-2018
Background:Bilateral blunt cerebrovascular injury (BCVI) has been documented in 32 patients in the English-language literature and bilateral carotid-cavernous fistulae (CCFs) have been reported in only 1 patient. Here, we present a case of severe, unexpected bilateral BCVI with bilateral direct CCF and review the literature of BCVI, particularly cases of bilateral injury.
Migrating spinal intradural schwannoma with adjacent disc herniation: A case report and brief literature review
Date of publication: 05-Nov-2018
Background:Schwannoma is the most common migrating tumor in the intradural space.
Gliosarcoma with long progression free survival: A case report and literature review
Date of publication: 05-Nov-2018
Background:Gliosarcoma (GS) is a primary rare malignant brain tumor that accounts 4% of all high-grade glial tumor of the brain.
Usefulness of neuroimaging and immunohistochemical study for accurate diagnosis of chordoid glioma of the third ventricle: A case report and review of the literature
Date of publication: 02-Nov-2018
Background:Chordoid glioma of the third ventricle is a rare neuroepithelial tumor characterized by a unique histomorphology within the third ventricular region, but with radiological and histopathological features mimicking benign lesions such as meningioma. We report a case of chordoid glioma of the third ventricle and suggest a useful indicator for accurate diagnosis.
Lateral position and utility of navigation for posterior fixation of unstable cervical fracture with ankylosing spondylitis
Date of publication: 02-Nov-2018
Background:Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a seronegative spondyloarthropathy within the spectrum of rheumatologic diseases. The systemic inflammation that characterizes AS leads to bone resorption and reformation. Pathologic remodeling may include kyphosis, osteoporosis, and multi-segment auto-fusion. Cervical fractures account for 53–78% of spinal trauma seen with AS. Surgical planning is often challenging owing to spinal deformity, medical comorbidities, the cervicothoracic foci of injury, and gross instability of these fracture.
Indirect revascularization for moyamoya disease: A pediatric neuroanesthesiology perspective

Thoracic spine dislocation in Gorham–Stout Syndrome: Case report and literature review
Date of publication: 01-Nov-2018
Background:The Gorham–Stout syndrome (GSS), also known as phantom bone disease, is a rare bone condition of unknown etiology. Involvement of the spine is described in <50 cases in the literature. Here, we report a case of thoracic spine fracture dislocation in a young female who was known to have GSS.
