Aqueductal Stenosis: Pathophysiology, Diagnosis, and Treatment Modalities

Aqueductal stenosis causes hydrocephalus by blocking CSF flow, increasing brain pressure. VP shunts and ETV are main treatments, but each has limitations. New methods like neuronavigation and robotic endoscopy are improving outcomes. This review explores surgical advances and long-term management strategies.

Navigating the complexity of atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (ATRT) in pediatric neuro-oncology: Insights from clinical spectrum to therapeutic challenges

Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (ATRT) is a rare, aggressive brain tumor in very young children. This case details a 2-year-old with infratentorial ATRT successfully treated with surgery and chemotherapy. Despite early progression, a second surgery achieved full resection, and the child remains symptom-free after four years. The case highlights the need for early diagnosis, aggressive therapy, and close follow-up for better outcomes.

The effect of resection of gliomas of the primary motor and sensory cortex on functional recovery and seizure outcome: A 10-year retrospective study

This study assessed outcomes of Rolandic cortex glioma resections in 40 patients over 10 years. Gross total resection (GTR) was linked to improved motor function, daily activity, and quality of life. Despite a 20% recurrence rate, 1-year survival was 92.5%, and functional recovery was common. Awake craniotomy and stimulation mapping proved effective for safe resection in eloquent brain areas.

Combined Endoscopic Transmaxillary Approach for Resection of an Extracranial V3 Schwannoma: 2-Dimensional Operative Video

This case highlights the successful removal of a trigeminal V3 schwannoma extending into the pterygopalatine and infratemporal fossae using a combined endoscopic endonasal and transgingival transmaxillary approach. The technique provided optimal access to lateral and inferior tumor areas, improved surgical handling, and minimized aesthetic and stomatological complications. Postoperative outcomes were excellent, with complete tumor resection, resolution of neuralgia, and no recurrence during follow-up.

Unveiling Dandy-Walker syndrome: A surprising twist in the tale of acute hydrocephalus and Down syndrome child

This case presents the first known instance of an 11-year-old with both Down syndrome and undiagnosed Dandy-Walker syndrome, a highly rare combination with only four previous cases reported—all in infants. The patient developed acute intracranial hypertension due to hydrocephalus from a Dandy-Walker malformation. A ventriculo-cysto-peritoneal shunt was successfully used to relieve pressure. This case highlights that even in asymptomatic older children, hydrocephalus from Dandy-Walker can emerge and be effectively treated.
