Abstract

Introduction: Chordomas prevalence peaks in men around late middle age. Mostly occur in the sacrococcygeal and around base of the skull. Chordoma of the cervical spine is observed only in 6% of all chordoma, which grows slowly in size before becoming symptomatic and encase surrounding vascular and nerve structures. Case Presentation: A 17-years-old male with weakness in all extremities since 2 months with history of falling to the ground with his back landed first after somersault. After that, he began to felt numbness in all extremities. Urinary, fecal incontinence, and decrease of libido was found. Patient undergo CT scan and MRI that show canalis stenosis C2 d/t C2 Fracture Levine classification type 1A ASIA D dd spondilitis TB C2 dd susp. Pannus ec Rheumatoid arthritis. Patient underwent the occipitocervical fusion. He underwent the second operation which was trans-oral decompression and the pathology impression was chordoma. Discussion: Chordomas are a family of primary bone tumors, originate from undifferentiated embryonic notochord remnants presenting in the midline, extending throughout the skull base and axial skeleton. Only 6% of all chordoma cases mainly affect the cervical spine, as chordomas can often be found in the cervical vertebrae, either a new primary tumor or a metastatic tumor   Conclusion: Chordoma is a malignant neoplasm and if the site lesion was in the cervical spine, the chief complaint was the effect of spaced-occupying lesion in cervical, like weakness in all extremities

Abstract

Background: Gliomas frequently invade eloquent cortical and subcortical regions, necessitating surgical strategies that optimize oncological resection while preserving neurological integrity. Functional surgical resection integrates advanced modalities to achieve maximal safe resection. Method: A structured qualitative literature review was performed, synthesizing current evidence from high-impact databases on intraoperative techniques including awake craniotomy, cortical and subcortical mapping, fluorescence-guided resection, and intraoperative imaging and their impact on surgical outcomes in glioma patients. Discussion: Functional mapping and imaging adjuncts significantly improve the extent of resection and mitigate postoperative deficits, particularly in IDH-mutant low-grade gliomas and eloquent high-grade lesions. However, limitations in fluorescence efficacy, imaging resolution, and resource availability persist across institutions. Conclusion: Functional resection techniques enhance survival and quality of life by enabling individualized, anatomically precise glioma surgery. Future directions include integration of molecular diagnostics, intraoperative tools, and global standardization to reduce outcome disparities.

Abstract

Introduction : Patients with head injuries have a high risk of organ trauma. Organ trauma can occur in conjunction with head injuries, especially in cases of accidents involving violent impact. The energy of the impact usually does not affect only one area of the body. The head may be lightly impacted, but other parts of the body may also be injured. Not all parts of the body receive the same severity of impact. The head may suffer minor injuries while other parts of the body may suffer more severe injuries. Case precentation : A 22-year-old man came to the emergency department of Yogyakarta City Hospital delivered by an ambulance with complaints of lower abdominal pain, the pain felt widespread, the patient complained of not being able to eat and drink, nausea and vomiting, left leg pain when lifted. Physical examination revealed vulnus excoriation. The diagnosis of mild head injury accompanied by multiple trauma can be established by history taking, physical examination, neurological examination, and supporting examinations such as laboratory, X-ray, and abdominal ultrasonography. Discussion : Non-helmeted riders experience more severe head and facial injuries than helmeted riders. Riders who did not wear helmets had poorer mental status than those who did, and their mean GCS scores were usually lower than those who wore helmets. This suggests that there is a relationship between head protection, or helmets, and the severity of motorcyclists' injuries, and that when motorcyclists do not wear helmets, injuries and the risk of injury are greater. Conclusion : The patient suffered a mild head injury with multiple organ trauma after physical and supporting examinations. The patient's head injury can be minimized because the patient was still wearing a helmet at the time of the accident.

Abstract

Background: Endoscopic Lumbar Discectomy (ELD) has gained popularity as a minimally invasive alternative for treating lumbar disc herniation. However, its safety and efficacy in patients with preoperative motor deficits remain under debate due to concerns about limited decompression and neurological recovery. This study aimed to evaluate neurological and functional outcomes following ELD in patients presenting with motor weakness. Methods: A meta-analysis were conducted on studies published between 2015 and 2025. Databases searched included PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library. Eligible studies reported pre- and postoperative motor function (MRC scale) and/or functional disability (Oswestry Disability Index, ODI) in patients undergoing ELD. Pooled mean changes in MRC and ODI were calculated, and subgroup analysis was performed based on baseline motor strength. Results: Eight studies comprising 613 patients met inclusion criteria. The pooled mean improvement in motor strength was +1.44 on the MRC scale. Functional outcomes improved significantly, with a mean ODI reduction of −37.3 points. Patients with severe baseline deficits (MRC ≤3) demonstrated greater neurological recovery. No study reported postoperative motor deterioration, and complication rates were low. Conclusion: ELD is associated with favorable neurological and functional outcomes in patients with preoperative motor deficits. These findings suggest that motor weakness should not be considered a contraindication to ELD, and with appropriate selection and expertise, ELD offers a safe and effective surgical option.

Abstract

Abstract Background Posterior cranial fossa (PCF) arteriovenous malformations (AVM) in children are the least studied among vascular malformations. Mortality rates after hemorrhages from ruptured PCF AVM reach the range of up to 21-67%. The aim of this Evaluation of the treatment tactics of the arteriovenous malformation rupture in an area of the posterior cranial fossa in children. Materials and Methods The study includes 9 children admitted to the Morozovskaya Children’s City Clinical Hospital Moscow Healthcare department, Moscow, Russia, with PCF, AVM intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) during the period of 2015-2022. The age varies from 7 to 17 years old. All patients underwent clinical and neurological examination, CT, and MRI of the brain, as well as cerebral angiography. The volume of intracranial hematoma ranges from 5 to 41.1 mL. To decide on the further extent of surgical intervention, GCS, Greab, PedNIHSS, and H-H scales were used. Results The extent of surgical intervention was based on the time of the admission to the hospital, the severity of the patients’ condition, the size and location of the ICH, and its relationship to the med-stem structures. Type of operation: microsurgical intervention in 3 cases (33.3 %), endovascular embolization in 2 cases (22.2 %), combined treatment in 4 cases (44.5 %). Surgery was performed in the acute period in all patients. Conclusion Modern microsurgical and endovascular PCF AVM treatment methods allow for positive results in complete neurological symptom regression form. This considerably decreases disability rates and increases patients’ quality of life.
