  • Surgical Management of Parkinson's Disease
    SEMINAR PAPER DTM Chan Surgical management of Parkinson’s VCT Mok WS Poon disease: a critical review KN Hung XL Zhu ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ !"#$%&'()*+, Parkinson’s disease is a progressive disabling movement disorder that is characterised by three cardinal symptoms: resting tremor, rigidity, and bradykinesia. Before the availability of effective medical treatment with levodopa and stereotactic neurosurgery, the objective of surgical management was to alleviate symptoms such as tremor at the expense of motor deficits. Levodopa was the first effective medical treatment for Parkinson’s disease, and surgical treatment such as stereotactic thalamo- tomy became obsolete. After one decade of levodopa therapy, however, drug-induced dyskinesia had become a source of additional disability not amenable to medical treatment. Renewed interest in stereotactic functional neurosurgery to manage Parkinson’s disease has been seen since the 1980s. Local experience of deep-brain stimulation is presented and discussed in this paper. Deep-brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus is an effective treatment for advanced Parkinson’s disease, although evidence from randomised control trials is lacking. !"#$%&'()*+,-!./01$23456789:; Key words: !"#$%&'()*+,-./01'23456789:;< Electric stimulation; !"#$%&'()*+,-./01(23#45+6789: Globus pallidus/surgery; Parkinson disease; !"#$%&'()*+,-./012345678'9:;< Stereotactic techniques; !"#$%&'()*%+,-./0123)456789:; Subthalamic nuclei/surgery; !"#$%&'()*+,-.1980 !"#$%&'()* Thalamus/surgery !"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=

  • Decompressive Craniectomy Following Severe Traumatic Brain Injury with an Initial Glasgow Coma Scale Score of 3 Or 4
    Case Report Clinics in Surgery Published: 03 Jul, 2019 Decompressive Craniectomy Following Severe Traumatic Brain Injury with an Initial Glasgow Coma Scale Score of 3 or 4 Afif AFIF* Department of Neurosurgery and Anatomy, Pierre Wertheimer Hospital, France Abstract Background: Decompressive craniectomy is a surgical management option for severe Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). However, few studies have followed patients with TBI who have a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score of 3 or 4 (out of 15). Decompressive craniectomy has been avoided in such patients owing to poor outcomes and poor functional recoveries in previous cases of treatment using this method. Clinical Presentation: Two patients are presented in our case series. The first suffered severe TBI following an aggression, with a GCS score of 3 and bilaterally dilated unreactive pupils. Brains CT scan showed right frontal fracture, bifrontal hematoma contusion, a fronto-temporo-parietal acute Subdural Hematoma (SDH) with a thickness of 14 mm on the right side, traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage, with 20 mm of midline shift to the left side, and diffuses brain edema. The second presented with severe TBI following an automobile accident, with a GCS score of 4 and iso- reactive pupils. A brain CT scan showed bilateral fronto-temporal fracture, diffuse brain hematoma contusion, traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage, right Extradural Hematoma (EDH) and bilateral fronto-temporo-parietal acute SDH that was more pronounced on the right side. Conclusion: Follow-up after the operations showed an Extended Glasgow Outcome Scale (EGOS) score of 8 and a very good functional recovery for both patients. Our case series suggests that in patients with severe TBI and a GCS score of 3 or 4; decompressive craniectomy can be performed OPEN ACCESS with good long-term neurological outcomes.

  • Neurocognitive and Psychosocial Correlates of Ventroposterolateral Pallidotomy Surgery in Parkinson's Disease
    Neurocognitive and psychosocial correlates of ventroposterolateral pallidotomy surgery in Parkinson's disease Henry J. Riordan, Ph.D., Laura A. Flashman, Ph.D., and David W. Roberts, M.D. Department of Psychiatry and Section of Neurosurgery, Dartmouth Medical School, Dartmouth­Hitchcock Medical Center, Lebanon, New Hampshire The purpose of this study was to characterize the neuropsychological and psychosocial profile of patients with Parkinson's disease before and after they underwent unilateral left or right pallidotomy, to assess specific cognitive and personality changes caused by lesioning the globus pallidus, and to predict favorable surgical outcome based on these measures. Eighteen patients underwent comprehensive neuropsychological assessment before and after left-sided pallidotomy (10 patients) or right-sided pallidotomy (eight patients). The findings support the presence of frontosubcortical cognitive dysfunction in all patients at baseline and a specific pattern of cognitive impairment following surgery, with side of lesion being an important predictor of pattern and degree of decline. Specifically, patients who underwent left-sided pallidotomy experienced a mild decline on measures of verbal learning and memory, phonemic and semantic verbal fluency, and cognitive flexibility. Patients who underwent right-sided pallidotomy exhibited a similar decline in verbal learning and cognitive flexibility, as well as a decline in visuospatial construction abilities; however, this group also exhibited enhanced performance on a delayed facial memory measure. Lesioning the globus pallidus may interfere with larger cognitive circuits needed for processing executive information with disruption of the dominant hemisphere circuit, resulting in greater deficits in verbal information processing. The left-sided pallidotomy group also reported fewer symptoms of depression and anxiety following surgery.

  • Intraoperative Electrocorticography
    Conference Proceeding Intraoperative electrocorticography Gabriela Alcaraz, Pirjo Manninen Abstract Intraoperative electrocorticography (ECoG) is the recording of electrophysiological activity from electrodes placed directly on the exposed surface of brain, during surgery for epilepsy and tumor resection. The ECoG is helpful in defining the seizure onset and spread within the cortical surface and delineation of the interface between epileptogenic zones and functional cortex substance of the brain. Intraoperative ECoG is an invasive procedure, it is performed during surgery mostly commonly during awake craniotomy but at times during general anaesthesia. As most anesthetic agents will affect ECoG, they should be minimized or stopped prior to any recording. Activation of intraoperative epileptiform activity may also be required if there are no spontaneous discharges. The appropriate management of the anesthetic during the time of ECoG is critical for its success. There are limitations and some controversies to all the uses of intraoperative ECoG, thus each center will set their own indications, criteria, and protocols.

  • Transcranial Doppler Ultrasonography in Neurological Surgery and Neurocritical Care
    NEUROSURGICAL FOCUS Neurosurg Focus 47 (6):E2, 2019 Transcranial Doppler ultrasonography in neurological surgery and neurocritical care Robert H. Bonow, MD,1 Christopher C. Young, MD, PhD,1 David I. Bass, MD, PhD,1 Anne Moore, BSN, RVT,1 and Michael R. Levitt, MD1–4 Departments of 1Neurological Surgery, 2Radiology, 3Mechanical Engineering, and 4Stroke and Applied Neuroscience Center, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington Transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasonography is an inexpensive, noninvasive means of measuring blood flow within the arteries of the brain. In this review, the authors outline the technology underlying TCD ultrasonography and describe its uses in patients with neurosurgical diseases. One of the most common uses of TCD ultrasonography is monitoring for vasospasm following subarachnoid hemorrhage. In this setting, elevated blood flow velocities serve as a proxy for vaso- spasm and can herald the onset of ischemia. TCD ultrasonography is also useful in the evaluation and management of occlusive cerebrovascular disease. Monitoring for microembolic signals enables stratification of stroke risk due to carotid stenosis and can also be used to clarify stroke etiology. TCD ultrasonography can identify patients with exhausted cerebrovascular reserve, and after extracranial-intracranial bypass procedures it can be used to assess adequacy of flow through the graft. Finally, assessment of cerebral autoregulation can be performed using TCD ultrasonography, providing data important to the management of patients with severe traumatic

Due to past abuse and ethical considerations, neurosurgical interventions in psychiatry remain a controversial issue. This article aims to review the different surgical techniques and their current application in the treatment of psychiatric disorders. The U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) gave its approval for vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) for the management of treatment-resistant depression in 2005 and deep brain stimulation (DBS) for refractory obsessive-compulsive disorders (OCD) in 2009. These invasive but non destructive techniques represent the future of neurosurgery for mental disorder.
