    The Proceedings of the World Neurosurgery Webinar Conference 2020 Editor G Narenthiran FRCS(SN) Neurosurgery Research Listserv The Proceedings of the World Neurosurgery Webinar Conference Abstract 1 [Poster] Xanthogranuloma in the suprasellar region: a case report Mechergui H, Kermani N, Jemel N, Slimen A, Abdelrahmen K, Kallel J Neurosurgical department, National Institute of Neurology of Tunis Contact: [email protected]; Tunisia Conict of interests: none Objective: Xanthogranuloma, also known as cholesterol granuloma, is extremely rare. It represents approximately 1.9% of tumours in the sellar and parasellar region with 83 cases recognised in the literature. The preoperative diagnosis is dicult due to the lack of clinical and radiological specicities. Through this work, we report the third case of xanthogranuloma in the sellar region described in Tunisia. The Proceedings of the World Neurosurgery Webinar Conference Page 1 The Proceedings of the World Neurosurgery Webinar Conference Method: We report the case of 29-year-old girl who was followed up since 2012 for delayed puberty. The patient presented with a 1-year history of decreased visual acuity on the right side. On ophthalmological examination her visual acuity was rated 1/10 with right optic atrophy. Biochemical studies revealed ante-pituitary insuciency. The MRI demonstrated a sellar and suprasellar lesion with solid and cystic components associated with calcication evoking in the rst instance a craniopharyngioma. She underwent a total resection of the tumour by a pterional approach. Result: The anatomopathological examination concluded the lesion to be an intrasellar Xanthogranuloma. Conclusion: Sellar xanthogranuloma is a rare entity that is dicult to diagnose preoperatively due to its similarities with other cystic lesions of the sellar region, especially craniopharyngioma.

  • Spontaneous CSF Leaks Low CSF Volume Syndromes
    Spontaneous CSF Leaks Low CSF Volume Syndromes Bahram Mokri, MD KEYWORDS Spontaneous CSF leak Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) CSF hypovolemia Orthostatic headaches Diffuse patchy meningeal enhancement Acquired Chiari malformation Epidural blood patch Radioisotope cisternography KEY POINTS Spontaneous intracranial hypotension nearly always results from spontaneous cerebro- spinal fluid (CSF) leaks, typically at the spine level and only rarely from the skull base. The triad of orthostatic headaches, diffuse patchy meningeal enhancement, and low CSF pressure, although a diagnostic hallmark, may or may not be encountered because the variability in clinical presentations, imaging observations, and CSF findings is indeed substantial. The core pathogenetic factor is a decreased volume of CSF rather than its pressure. The anatomy of the leak may be complex. A preexisting dural weakness, usually in connection with an abnormality of the connective tissue matrix sometimes along with triv- ial traumas, may play an etiologic role. Slow-flow and fast-flow CSF leaks each present challenges on locating the actual site of the leak. Epidural blood patch (EBP) has emerged as the treatment of choice when conservative measures have failed. However, expect considerable variability in response to this treat- ment, and recall that the efficacy of EBP in spontaneous CSF leaks is substantially less than its efficacy in postlumbar puncture leaks. Surgery may be helpful in well-selected cases, when less invasive measures have failed and when the site of the leak has been definitely identified. INTRODUCTION About 2 decades ago, the first report on pachymeningeal gadolinium enhancement in spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) appeared in the literature.1 This relatively short interval has witnessed enormous progress while a much larger number of pa- tients are now identified and a far broader clinical spectrum is recognized.2 Funding Source: None.

  • Cerebrospinal Fluid Dissemination and Neoplastic Meningitis in Primary Brain Tumors Sajeel Chowdhary, MD, Sherri Damlo, and Marc C
    Special Report Cerebrospinal Fluid Dissemination and Neoplastic Meningitis in Primary Brain Tumors Sajeel Chowdhary, MD, Sherri Damlo, and Marc C. Chamberlain, MD Background: Neoplastic meningitis, also known as leptomeningeal disease, affects the entire neuraxis. The clinical manifestations of the disease may affect the cranial nerves, cerebral hemispheres, or the spine. Because of the extent of disease involvement, treatment options and disease staging should involve all compartments of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and subarachnoid space. Few studies of patients with primary brain tumors have specifically addressed treatment for the secondary complication of neoplastic meningitis. Therapy for neoplastic meningitis is palliative in nature and, rarely, may have a curative intent. Methods: A review of the medical literature pertinent to neoplastic meningitis in primary brain tumors was performed. The complication of neoplastic meningitis is described in detail for the various types of primary brain tumors. Results: Treatment of neoplastic meningitis is complicated because determining who should receive ag- gressive, central nervous system (CNS)–directed therapy is difficult. In general, the therapeutic response of neoplastic meningitis is a function of CSF cytology and, secondarily, of the clinical improvement in neuro- logical manifestations related to the disease. CSF cytology may manifest a rostrocaudal disassociation; thus, consecutive, negative findings require that both lumbar and ventricular cytological testing are performed to confirm the complete response. Based on data from several prospective, randomized trials extrapolated to primary brain tumors, the median rate of survival for neoplastic meningitis is several months. Oftentimes, therapy directed at palliation may improve quality of life by protecting patients from experiencing continued neurological deterioration.

Some patients develop treatment-refractory psychiatric symptoms. Psychosurgery is a viable option with good efficacy in such debilitating cases. Objective: To report efficacy of anterior cingulotomy for suppressing intractable psychotic and impulsive symptoms caused by TBI. Case Report: The authors report a case of 37-year-old male with a history of TBI which required craniectomy with hematoma evacuation and subsequent cranioplasty. He developed severe paranoid delusion with auditory hallucination, anxiety and impulsivity. The patient was admitted to the psychiatric hospital for recurrent, severe, treatment-refractory psychotic symptoms and impulsivity. Despite multiple drug regimens, his psychiatric symptoms did not improve. He underwent psychosurgery using bilateral anterior cingulotomy. Results: His symptoms were significantly improved after the surgery. His delusion, hallucination and impulsivity disappeared and his mood became stable. He could resume daily activity. There was no recurrent symptom at 2 years postoperatively. Conclusion: Anterior cingulotomy is an effective treatment option for refractory PDDTBI, especially if the psychotic manifestation coincides with affective symptoms.

MAOA FIRST PLENARY SESSION April 7, 2011 1. Peripheral Nerve Blocks and Incidence of Postoperative Neurogenic Complaints and Pain Scores *Randy R. Clark, M.D. Iowa City, IA John P. Albright, M.D. Iowa City, IA Richard C. Johnston, M.D. Iowa City, IA Peripheral nerve blocks (PNBs) are a common adjuvant for anesthesia. In our experience PNBs cause a significant incidence of severe pain and neurologic complaints. We instituted a previously validated questionnaire completed by patients at their first postoperative visit. We asked patients to indicate if they received a PNB and to rate their pain on a standardized pain scale at several points in the postoperative period. Patients indicated if they experienced severe pain, had to return to the ER, and if they experienced lasting neurologic complaints. Comparative data was collected on patients who received a PNB and those who did not receive a PNB (control). 307 patients completed the survey, 244 patients with PNBs and 63 control patients. There was a 39.8% incidence of neurologic complaints in patients who received PNBs as compared to 9.5% incidence in patients who did not receive a PNB, P < 0.001. There was 27.9% (PNB) versus 14.3% (control) incidence of severe pain, P 0.027. Twenty-four patients that received PNBs versus five control patients visited the ER, P 0.65. Patients who received PNBs had significantly better pain control immediately after surgery (P 0.02) and trended towards improved pain control the same night (P 0.055), but there was no difference in pain control the morning after surgery, 24 hours after surgery, and at the one week postoperative period (P 0.99, 0.19, and 0.88).

  • Advances in Bone Graft Substitutes in Spinal Fusion
    17 Advances in Bone Graft Substitutes in Spinal Fusion Michael N. Tzermiadianos, Alexander G. Hadjipavlou, and John N. Gaitanis University of Kriti Medical School Iraklio Kriti, Greece Bone grafting is essential for reconstruction of spinal defects and a prerequisite to obtaining solid arthrodesis imperative to spinal stability after reconstructive surgery [1]. Spinal fusion is commonly achieved by the adjunctive use of interbody or onlay cortical bone grafts (autograft or allograft). Success depends on factors such as the patient’s age, sufficiency of local blood supply, degrees of postoperative movement, and, importantly, the physical and biological charac- teristics of the graft matrix. Early attempts at bone grafting date back more than 500 years to the Arab, indigenous Peruvian, and Aztec cultures. In modern times, the first documented case of autogenous bone grafting was reported by Merem in 1810, and the first successful allografting case has been attributed to Macewn in 1881 [2]. Our present knowledge and scientific base for understanding the biology, banking, and widespread clinical applications of bone grafting is largely due to the work of Albee [3], Barth [4], Lexter [5], Phemister [6], and Seen [7] during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centu- ries. These substantive scientific contributions have made bone grafting techniques common and relatively effective clinical procedures. There are three biological processes that impact the success or failure of bone graft: osteogenesis, osteoconduction, and osteoinduction [8]. Osteogenesis refers to the process whereby bone forms directly from living cells, such as the stem cells within autogenous bone. Osteoconduction describes the process in which bone grows into and along the surface of a biocompatible structure when placed in direct apposition to host bone through the process of intramembranous bone formation.
