Congenital malformations of the central nervous system (CNS) are morphological abnormalities of the brain and spinal cord that occur during fetal development. They constitute the second most common congenital disability, after congenital cardiac defects. Many risk factors have been identified; however, these studies included various types of congenital abnormality. Furthermore, there is a lack of information

Traumatic middle meningeal artery aneurysm: a case report Neurochirurgie (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2024-02-27 Mohammad Ghorbani, Ehsan Keykhosravi, Mahsa Vatanparast, Daniel Elyassirad, Navid Golchin, Hojjat Mirsardoo, Mohammad Hasanpour
Traumatic intracranial aneurysms are rare, making up about 1% of all intracranial aneurysms. They can happen due to direct injury or blunt force, with the middle cerebral artery being the most frequent site. A 45 year-old man was referred to our department with a history of craniectomy. He complained of non-specific headache, but neurological examination was normal. A follow-up brain CT scan identified

The association between intracranial hemangioblastomas and arteriovenous malformations has been documented in very few cases in literature since 1965 and might present in three modalities: "intermixed, adjacent and separated (spatially and temporally)”. Often, the pattern of presentation is “intermixed”. According to our systematic review, we propose an adjustment of the previous classification, specifically

Adhesive arachnoiditis is a rare yet serious complication that may occur following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). In this circumstance, it is mainly due to ruptured vertebral artery (VA) or posterior inferior artery (PICA) aneurysms. It disrupts cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow leading to complications such as spinal arachnoiditis, syringomyelia, trapped 4th ventricle, or a combination of these conditions

Tumoral and peritumoral vascularization of brain tumours: a study comparing an intraoperative ultrasensitive Doppler and a preoperative first-pass perfusion MRI Neurochirurgie (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2023-09-14 Camille Courtin, Guillaume Lacoin, Jean-Pierre Remenieras, Cécilia Denis Rousselot, Paul-Armand Dujardin, Ilyess Zemmoura, Jean-Philippe Cottier
Introduction Surgery for gliomas can be guided by neuronavigation using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and intraoperative B-mode ultrasound. An ultrasensitive Doppler (USD) using plane waves is a new method of microvascularization imaging which can be used intraoperatively and could identify tumoral and peritumoral areas with neoangiogenesis but its value requires evaluation.

Impact of early external ventricular drainage on functional outcome after traumatic brain injury: a bicentric retrospective cohort analysis Neurochirurgie (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2023-09-09 Jean-Denis Moyer, Maxime Léger, Baptiste Trolonge, Anaïs Codorniu, Amaury Lhermitte, Thomas Gaberel, Caroline Jeantrelle, Clément Gakuba
Purpose Several studies have confirmed that external ventricular drain decreases intracranial pressure (ICP) after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Considering its impact on ICP control and cerebral waste metabolites clearance, timing of external ventricular drain (EVD) insertion could improve CSF drainage efficiency. The aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of early EVD versus a later one on the
