worth reading case report about a rare vascular malformation.

We are pleased to share our latest paper, just published in Neurosurgery Practice. In it, we present a case of a pure arterial malformation (PAM) located on an accessory middle cerebral artery (MCA) with signs of previous rupture.  Our patient underwent a successful hybrid treatment at Klinikum Stuttgart, which involved an STA-MCA bypass procedure followed by embolization using Glubran2/Lipiodol. Main ideas:  1.- PAMs are extremely rare lesions, and their risk of rupture is unknown.  2.- To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of a PAM located on an accessory MCA. 3.- Only a handful of cases have been published where the malformation itself has been treated, and this is the first case managed with a hybrid microsurgical/endovascular strategy. I want to thank everyone involved in treating this patient and preparing the manuscript, especially Professor Hans Henkes, for his continuous support.

Revolutionizing #Brain_Surgery: #MRI-Guided Neurosurgical Ablation Download Detailed PDFs Free- https://lnkd.in/dWN8uwFA (We Don’t Accept Gmail/Hotmail IDs. Please fill out the out the form with official/corporate mail IDs.) MRI-guided neurosurgical ablation is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat various brain conditions, including tumors, epilepsy, and movement disorders. This advanced technique combines the precision of magnetic resonance imaging (#MRI) with laser or focused ultrasound ablation to target and destroy abnormal tissue in the brain without damaging surrounding healthy tissue. The procedure involves real-time MRI guidance, allowing neurosurgeons to visualize the treatment area with exceptional accuracy. This enables precise targeting of specific brain regions, improving treatment outcomes and minimizing risks. MRI-guided ablation is particularly beneficial for patients with deep-seated or difficult-to-access brain lesions, where traditional surgery may pose higher risks. The use of MRI guidance ensures that the #neurosurgeon can continuously monitor the ablation process, adjusting the treatment in real time. As a result, patients experience shorter recovery times, reduced hospital stays, and fewer complications compared to conventional open brain surgery. MRI-guided neurosurgical ablation is transforming the field of neurosurgery by offering a safer, more efficient alternative for treating complex neurological conditions, contributing to improved patient outcomes and quality of life. As technology continues to evolve, this technique is expected to expand its application to a broader range of brain disorders. #MRI #Neurosurgery #BrainHealth #MedicalInnovation #NeurosurgicalAblation #BrainTumorTreatment #SurgicalTechnology #Neuroscience #MedicalBreakthroughs #RealTimeImaging #MRIGuidedSurgery #NeurosurgicalInnovation #LaserAblation #FocusedUltrasound

We are excited to share that our manuscript has been published in the Journal of Neurosurgery! Our study focused on real-time MRI-guided focused laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT), a minimally invasive surgical treatment for challenging brain lesions. We aimed to provide a comprehensive analysis of our experiences with LITT in surgical neuro-oncology to better understand its safety and efficacy. Key findings: We analyzed data from 313 patients who underwent LITT for brain tumors between 2013 and 2023. During a mean follow-up of 10.4 months, 66.8% of patients remained alive, and 26.2% of the ablated lesions recurred. Factors like age, lesion grade, preoperative volume, and readmission within 30 days were significantly associated with overall survival. LITT showed promising results, particularly for metastases and glioblastoma. These findings highlight LITT as a safe and effective treatment option for intracranial lesions, offering hope for patients with challenging brain tumors. #Neurosurgery #BrainTumor #MedicalResearch #LITT #MRI #JournalOfNeurosurgery #neurosurgery #neuroanatomy #microsurgery #medicaltraining #university #medical #medicine #brain

Check out this case series from Dr. Behnam Rezai Jahromi and the Helsinki University Hospital, Department of Neurosurgery: Active Cerebrospinal Fluid Exchange System for Treatment of Pyogenic Ventriculitis. “This new technique allowed us to change the composition of CSF to an antibiotic-consisted fluid. This resulted in the ability to directly modify the concentration of the targeted antibiotics in the CSF, while simultaneously removing bacterial mass without harming brain tissue and controlling ICP and pH."

When access is difficult or there is a desire to use a neuroprotection strategy for intracranial neurovascular procedures, we have found off-label use of Silk Road Medical's Open Transcarotid System to be invaluable. Check out the Yale experience using this platform for the treatment of difficult-to-manage intracranial aneurysms, intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD), and acute ischemic stroke - large vessel occlusion (AIS-LVO). Amazing work by our Chief Neurosurgery Resident, Nanthiya Sujijantarat, for putting this case series together.

Nepal Neurointervention Awareness: FACTS- Endovascular neurosurgery is now the most commonly practiced therapeutic approach for most vascular pathologies involving the brain and spinal cord. With the evolving endovascular field and development of many newer endovascular devices and techniques, the treatment strategies for cerebrospinal vascular diseases have been refined.
