Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery
Introduction: Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) secondary to tumors is encountered in up to 6% of patients with facial pain syndromes and is considered to be associated with tumors affecting the trigeminal nerve pathways. The most frequent are meningiomas and vestibular schwannomas (VS). Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) has emerged as a valuable treatment, ...

Head tremor in patients with dystonia is referred to as dystonic tremor. During surgical treatment, numerous targets may be selected, including the internal segment of the globus pallidus and the ventral intermediate (Vim) nucleus; however, there is no consensus concerning the most effective treatment target. We report herein a case of dystonic hea...

Introduction: Head and neck extracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are rare pathological conditions which pose diagnostic and reconstruction challenges. Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is nowadays an established treatment method for brain AVMs, with high obliteration and low complication rates. Here we describe the first report of head ext...

Purpose: Abnormal neurogenesis in the hippocampus after status epilepticus (SE) has been suggested as a key pathogeny of temporal lobe epilepsy. This study aimed to investigate the effect of deep brain stimulation of the anterior thalamic nucleus (ANT-DBS) on hippocampal neurogenesis in LiCl-pilocarpine-induced epileptic rats and to analyze its rel...

Stereotactic radiosurgery is a treatment option for trigeminal neuralgia. This procedure is minimally invasive, but tumor development and facial numbness have been reported. Here, we report an unusual presentation after stereotactic radiosurgery to treat trigeminal neuralgia. A 60-year-old man demonstrated typical signs for type 1 trigeminal nerve ...

Background: We proposed an algorithm to automate the components within the identification of components within the nidus of cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) which may be used to analyze the relationship between its diffuseness and treatment outcomes following stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). Objectives: to determine the impact of the dif...

Introduction: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery is an established treatment for movement disorders. Advances in neuroimaging techniques have resulted in improved targeting accuracy that may improve clinical outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and feasibility of using the Medtronic O-arm device for the acquisition of intraoperative ...

Background: Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is a neuromodulation technology widely used in the treatment of intractable chronic pain syndromes. SCS is now being applied more broadly as a possible therapy for a range of indications, including neurological, cardiac, and gastrointestinal disorders. Ongoing research in this field is critical in order to ...

Background: The usage of multichannel brain MRI coils, which have several advantages over single-channel brain coils used for stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), requires a frame adapter device to fit the frames inside the multichannel brain coils. However, such a frame adapter has not been developed until now. Objective: to develop an SRS frame adapt...

Background: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an effective surgical treatment for movement disorders. Early versions of implantable systems delivered stimulation with constant voltage (CV); however, advances in available and newer platforms have permitted programming in constant current (CC). From a treatment management perspective, there are theoret...
