Abstract

Introduction :In the past half of century, the spinal surgery techniques has advanced significantly. Along with the improvement and various of techniques and technologies in general, there has been a big movement to reduce the morbidity of surgery. Case review : As opposed to open spine surgery, minimally invasive surgical approaches can be faster, safer and require less recovery time. The minimally invasive spine surgery also need to make an efficient target of surgery. The roots in minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) are based primarily on technique modifications. Discussion: The Williams microdiscectomy, described in 1978, revolutionized MISS by starting the evolution of lumbar discectomy from an open surgery through a 6-inch incision to a microsurgical approach through as small an opening as possible. Conclusion :We don’t use the MISS technique when the extension of tumor is more than 2 levels; extension of the tumor is 20% longer than diameter of largest retractor; the tumor > 3cm for interlaminary approach, the wide durotomy is needed; and also the case with intramedullary tumor with 80% extention, from left to the right side; en bloc as the the goal of surgery for extradural tumor

Abstract

Introduction : Intracranial aneurysms (IA) is an acquired disease characterized by dilatation of intracranial arteries, and is usually found at the location of arterial branches in the cranii base region. The selection of management and anatomic variations is quite interesting to be discussed in the case of aneurysms. Cases Report : Four cases of AcoA aneurysm were reported with variations in clinical manifestations, A1 segment anatomy, fundal projections and management considerations (Coiling vs. Clipping). This case series illustrates the compatibility with previous case studies that have existed. Discussion : The author concludes that the actions taken in cases I, II and III are in the form of coiling due to age, dome and neck ratio and access to perform such difficult surgical procedures. In case IV , it was considered to be performed surgical clipping action due to the presence of intracerebal hemoraghic, and the approach can be done from a non dominant hemisphere, proximal control only through the right carotid and the location of the posterior dome which was favorable for surgical clipping Conclusion : Aneurysms from the ACA-anterior communicating artery (ACoA) complex are some of the most complex lesions in the field of vascular neurosurgery. This location is where most rupture aneurysms occured with high mortalities due to complications of vasospasm and SAH. The choice of management in aneurysm cases which involved many factors such as age and anatomic variations.

Abstract

Background: Subdural empyema is a critical neurosurgical condition that arise from neurosurgical procedures, trauma, meningitis, sinusitis, or otogenic infection. Reported mortality rates vary from 4.4% to 24%. Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt placement is one of the most common procedures and reported rates for shunt infections are relatively high. However, their association with subdural empyema is rare. Case Report: One years old boy who presented with fever, lethargy, and inability to walk was admitted to the hospital. He was undergone Vp-shunt 1 month ago because of hydrocephalus. At the time of admission, the child was alert, had a moderate right hemiparesis, and a macrocephalic appearance. An emergency CT scan showed well-circumscribed subdural empyema. Discussion: A craniotomy was performed, then thick fibrous capsule underlying the dura mater was encountered, finally the pus was totally removed. Postoperatively, he was fully alert with a marked motoric improvement. Diplococus gram positive was found. The patient was given appropriate antibiotic treatment for 3 weeks periode. Conclusion: Subdural empyema is an unusual complication of a VP-shunt. Although rare in children, it is still a neurosurgical problem. The combination of medication and surgery treatment in Subdural empyema resulted in a good response.

Abstract

Introduction : A carotid-cavernous sinus fistula (CCF) is an abnormal communication between arteries and veins within the cavernous sinus. Carotid cavernous fistula (CCF) is a very rare case it's difficult to diagnose. because most CCF patients rarely come for treatment. Case Report : A 33-year-old male presented with history of protrusion of Left eye ball, and double vision for the last 2 years. visual disturbances were found in the right eye for 2 years, blurry vision is increasingly. Bruit was audible in orbital region on the left side. DSA showed that there was a fistula in the left sinus cavernous region, the arteries in the left area showed inadequate to direct the left hemisphere, but in the right arety showed that the right artery was adversely affected right and left brain. Discussion : Traumatic CCFs are the most common type, accounting for up to 75% of all CCFs.87 They have been reported to occur in 0.2% of patients with craniocerebral trauma and in up to 4% of patients who sustain a basilar skull fractur.2 The symptoms and signs of CCF always include eyelid swelling, proptosis, chemosis, and hyperaemia, dilated of vessel and the condition is commonly misdiagnosed as Graves’ophthal-mopathy or inflammatory conjunctivitis.3Cerebral angiography is the gold standard for the definitive diagnosis, classification, and planning of endovascular intervention in CCFs. Angiographic results in this patient showed a fistula in the left cavernous sinus and inadequate supply of the left artery to the left hemisphere. Conclusion : This case is very unique because the left brain gets blood supply from the right carotid system, with the left carotid artery system inadequate to direct the left hemisphere because of the carotid cavernous fistula on the left side

Abstract

Introduction: Meningioma is slow growing neoplasm cells that comes from arachnoid cap most common benign intracranial tumours. Olfactory groove meningiomas (OGM) account for 8–13% of all intracranial meningiomas. Intracranial tumors on pregnancy is a rare event, with few reports. Case Presentation: A 36-year-old- female (G11P9A1) 34 gestational week presented to the Adam Malik General Hospital with smelling disturbances for 6 months and lossing smelling sense in the past 1 month. Slowly progression of vision disturbances for 3 months without improvement in using glasses, progressive loss of vision in both eyes for the past 1 month. CT scan and MRI revealead a solid mass lesion, with 6.3 x 4.2 x 3.1 cm. It was a supratentorial in frontal region, olfactory groove mass. The Craniotomy tumor removal was performed in this patient. Discussion: Meningiomas are mostly silent brain tumors with slow growth, however may get detected and mostly become symptomatic during pregnancy and luteal phase of menstrual cycle due to increase in size secondary to either water retention, enhanced vascularity or progesterones are possible etiologies. The majority of meningiomas express progesterone reseptor, which can be detected also by immunohistochemistry. In fact, tumour growth when progesterone concentrations are higher, shows the role of sex hormones in the mechanism. Regardless of the status of pregnancy, symptomatic and large meningiomas require surgical resection. Conclusion: Changes of plasma concentration hormones during pregnancy and their effect on meningioma growth in the second and third trimester are crucial and critical. The management of brain lesions during pregnancy required professional collaboration between neurosurgeons, obstetricians and anesthesiologists.
