Judicious Management of Jugular Foramen Tumors
No full textTumors of the jugular foramen are among the most challenging
neurosurgical lesions because of the complex neurovascular
anatomy of this region, including the jugular bulb, the 10th and
11th cranial nerves in the posterolateral pars venosa and the
inferior petrosal sinus, and the 9th cranial nerve in the anteromedial
pars nervos

No full textThe effectiveness of Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKR) for cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) is predicated on inclusion of the entire nidus while excluding normal tissue. As such, GKR may be limited by the resolution and accuracy of the imaging modality used in targeting

The Promise of Multimodal Image Guidance in Neurosurgery
No full textthe operating room of the future will be based on
the integration of all these promising new technologies into a
high-technology environment in which neurosurgery, especially
minimally invasive neurosurgery, will be performed under multimodal
image guidance. This environment will combine information
from multiple preoperative and intraoperative sources.
Augmented visibility or reality representation can be achieved
from these resources. Real-time updating of the image database
will be required to follow the progress of the procedures and to
find exact boundaries of the lesions

Book Review: Neurosurgical Operative Atlas: Vascular Neurosurgery, Third Edition
No full textThe Neurosurgical Operative Atlas: Vascular Neurosurgery edited by R. Loch MacDonald is the third edition of an authored book composed of 3 separate sections: the first section covers intracranial aneurysm surgery, the second section covers brain and spine vascular malformations, the third section addresses surgical procedures for cerebral ischemia. Ten years after the previous edition, the editor and the authors have considerably changed the book by discarding some out-of-date aspects while adding entirely new chapters. Almost all the chapters have been substan- tially updated with respect to the last edition. Each chapter is meant to address each key operative aspect of the procedures or diseases that are discussed. In general, each chapter includes: patient selection, indications for surgery, preoperative investi- gations, surgical planning, positioning, step-by-step description of the surgical procedure, and postoperative complications. The book includes 39 authored chapters that are accompanied by 38 videos included
Chordomas: What's New?
No full textthe importance of the expression of the transcriptionalregulator, brachyury, that was used by the authors as a markerfor the diagnosis of chordoma should be emphasized. Studieshave identified a common gene duplication of brachyury inpatients with familial and sporadic chordoma. Furthermore, it hasbeen recently shown that brachyury silencing results in completegrowth arrest and senescence of chordoma tumor cells in vitro(7). These interesting findings outline the potential role of bra-chyury as a target of biomolecular therapeutic interventions, inparticular because it seems to be common and specific to allchordomas
3D printing in Neurosurgery
No full textAs well known, from a scientific point of view, the product of 3D
printing is the result of the perfect superimposition of layers of
condensed polymers of various nature that aggregate to form
true solid matter. The previously created computer model is
accomplished in accordance with the 3D of the real world. The
materials produced may be of different nature (i.e., cardboard,
plastic materials, wood, metal) according to the production
standards. Because of the big variety of materials and technologies
that occur within the concept of 3D printing, this innovation
is receiving a huge success, but is defying a simple definition.
3D printing is promising something as big as a new industrial
revolution. If computers and the web had allowed the “dematerialization”
and the subsequent widespread diffusion of
knowledge, the 3D printers allow the “materialization” of innovative
ideas with potentially huge economic, social, and political
consequences. Furthermore, new products can be now prototyped
and built out, using this technology, in a very short time
and, through self-funding, paving the way to a “democratization”
of innovatio
