The Gamma Knife is a specialized tool for precisely delivering high-dose radiation to treat benign brain tumors, arteriovenous malformations, metastatic brain tumors, and some functional brain diseases. In recent years,...
It is important to differentiate radiation necrosis (RN) from tumor recurrence because these conditions require different treatments. Despite the use of various imaging techniques, this distinction remains difficult due to...
Objective: A cavernous malformation (CM) is a type of an abnormally large collection of “low-flow” vascular channels without brain parenchyma intervening between the sinusoidal vessels; these occult lesions on transfemoral...
Transcutaneous afferent patterned stimulation (TAPS), also referred to as non-invasive peripheral nerve stimulation, at the wrist provides a promising option for the management of essential tremor. This new wrist-worn neuromodulation...
Parkinson disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease, characterized by the denervation of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. Its cardinal symptoms are rigidity, tremor, and bradykinesia. The...
Sole vein offenders are rare and can be difficult to identify on preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and intraoperative microscopy. The objective of this case review was to investigate factors...
Advances in intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) have enabled safer peripheral nerve tumor surgery. We report a patient in whom a large sciatic nerve schwannoma was successfully removed using intraoperative nerve...
Objective: In posterior fossa surgery such as microvascular decompression (MVD), cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage is a crucial problem. In this study, we explored the accurate diagnosis and effective non-surgical management...
Neurovascular compression syndrome is generally caused by vascular compression at the root entry or exit zone of the corresponding cranial nerve. Trigeminal neuralgia is the most frequent syndrome, followed by...
Drugs administered for anesthesia can trigger seizure attacks in patients with epilepsy. Benzodiazepines have been consistently reported to be anticonvulsants, and a novel benzodiazepine, remimazolam, was recently introduced. We report...
Objective: Blepharospasm (BSP) is a disease in which the closure rate of the bilateral eyelids increases, mainly due to involuntary contraction of the orbicularis oculi, procerus, and corrugator muscles. The...
