Abstract
Background: Pituitary adenomas are benign tumors located in the anterior hypophysis. Its appearance is associated with the development of parameters related to metabolic syndrome; therefore, surgical treatment could reduce associated morbimortality.
Abstract
Background: Sigmoid sinus wall dehiscence can lead to pulsatile tinnitus with a significant decrease in quality of life, occasionally leading to psychiatric disorders. Several surgical and endovascular procedures have been described for resolving dehiscence. Within endovascular procedures, the sagittal sinus approach could be a technical alternative for tracking and accurate stent positioning within the sigmoid sinus when the jugular bulb anatomy is unfavorable.
Abstract
Purpose: The dentate nucleus (DN) is the largest, most lateral, and phylogenetically most recent of the deep cerebellar nuclei. Its pivotal role encompasses the planning, initiation, and modification of voluntary movement but also spans non-motor functions like executive functioning, visuospatial processing, and linguistic abilities. This review aims to offer a comprehensive description of the DN, detailing its embryology, anatomy, physiology, and clinical relevance, alongside an analysis of dentatotomy.
Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the accuracy of stereotactic coordinates to target the ansa lenticularis (AL) using 2 surgical planning methods, the conventional millimeter method (MM) and the normalized Tenths method (TM), assessed through individualized probabilistic tractography.
Abstract
Introduction: Huntington's disease (HD) is a hereditary condition caused by the expansion of the CAG trinucleotide in the huntingtin gene on chromosome 4, resulting in motor, cognitive, and psychiatric disorders that significantly impact patients' quality of life. Despite the lack of effective treatments for the disease, various surgical strategies have been explored to alleviate symptoms and slow its progression.
