Resection of cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVM) is technically demanding because of size, eloquent location or diffuse nidus. Controlled arterial hypotension (CAH) could facilitate haemostasis. We perf...

Selective amygdalohippocampectomy is an effective treatment option for mesial temporal lobe epilepsy associated with hippocampal sclerosis.
Article
Selective amygdalohippocampectomy (SAH) is an accepted surgical procedure for treatment of pharmacoresistant mesial temporal lobe epilepsy, but it may lead to postoperative visual field deficits (VFDs). Here w...

Any correlation between the extent of resection and the prognosis of patients with supratentorial infiltrative low-grade gliomas may well be related to biased treatment allocation. Patients with an intrinsical...

Article
Two common valve types used to treat hydrocephalus include gravity assisted valves (GAV) and medium pressure valves (MPV). Despite their different mechanism of action, differentiated surgical indications per t...
Article
The aim of this work was to determine predictors that may contribute to surgical success or failure. Relevant pre- and postoperative baseline data were analyzed, and temporal structures underwent a volumetric ...
Article
The purpose of this study was to report on the incidence, diagnosis and clinical manifestation of VAI following cervical spine injuries observed in a prospective observational study with a standardized clinica...
Article
In this review, we discuss the options for the surgical management of glioneuronal tumors (GNTs) associated with drug-resistant epilepsy, with an emphasis on the surgical issues involved in addressing the epil...
Article
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the results of microsurgical treatment for choroid plexus tumors (CPT) in adult patients.
Article
This paper is addressing outcome differences in interesting subgroups from a previous randomized controlled trial of the extent of mesial temporal lobe resection (TLR) for drug-resistant epilepsy, by looking a...
Article
The objective of this study was to analyze preoperative symptoms and late clinical outcomes in patients who underwent surgical treatment of arterio-venous malformations (AVMs) of the temporal lobe, including t...
Article
Only one prospective randomized study on the extent of mesial resection in surgery for temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) exists. This randomized controlled trial (RCT) examines whether 3.5-cm mesial resection is le...
Article
It is not known whether following transsphenoidal surgery for pituitary adenomas the vision of patients with preoperative chiasma syndromes (CS) does improve to the degree of vision of patients without preoper...
Article
The aim of this work was to retrospectively study the long-term reliability of the common consensus endocrinological criteria for the assessment of postoperative remission of acromegaly.
Article
To describe the functional impairment caused by chiasma syndromes (CS) prior to and following transsphenoidal pituitary adenoma surgery.
Article
Complete yet safe resection close to motor areas in medically intractable epilepsy requires functional information. New deficit may occur despite preservation of motor cortex, e.g., through vascular compromise...
