Background:Pituitary masses are common lesions accounting for about 15–20% of all brain tumours. Oozing blood is an annoyance in microscopic sublabial trans-sphenoidal approach for these masses. There have been many ways of reducing the ooze, having their own pros and cons. Objective:To find out the efficacy and safety of clonidine in reducing blood loss in pituitary adenoma surgery through a randomized masked trial. Methods:It was a prospective randomized controlled trial done. Total 50 patients of pituitary adenomas were randomized into two groups. Group A (25 patients) was given 200 μg clonidine orally, while Group B (25 patients) was given placebo. Surgeon, anaesthesiologist and patient were blinded for the trial. Sublabial trans-septal trans-sphenoidal approach to sella and excision of mass was performed in each patient. Patients were studied for pre-, intra- and post-operative blood pressure and heart rate, pre- and post-operative imaging findings, intra-operative blood loss, bleeding grading by surgeon, surgeon’s satisfaction about condition of specific part and quality of surgical field, operative time and extent of resection. Results:Blood loss during the surgery, operative time and bleeding grading by the surgeon were found significantly less in the clonidine group, while quality of surgical field, condition of the specific part and extent of resection were found significantly better in the clonidine group (pvalue <.05). There was no untoward adverse effect of the drug in the test group. Conclusion:Clonidine is a safe and effective drug to reduce bleeding in trans-sphenoidal microscopic pituitary adenoma surgeries.

- Abstract
Background: Endoscopic procedures are useful in chronic subdural hematoma especially when there are septations, solid/organized hematoma, and the presence of bridging or neovessels in the cavity. Visualizing the distal hematoma cavity by a rigid scope is challenging in large and curved ones due to the hindrance by the brain surface. Combining rigid endoscopy and brain retractor can overcome this limitation., Methods: A retrospective study of 248 patients managed by endoscopic technique was performed and the relevant literature was reviewed., Results: The brain retractor was used in all patients. Average operative time, subgaleal drainage duration, and hospital stay were 56 minutes, 3.1 days, and 4.6 days, respectively. The average preoperative Glasgow coma scale (GCS) score was 12, which improved to 14 and 15 in 223 and 23 patients, respectively at discharge. There were solid clots, septations, bridging vessels, curved hematoma cavities, rapid expansion of the brain after partial hematoma removal, and recurrences in 59, 52, 15, 49, 19, and 2 patients, respectively. There were 2 deaths, without any procedure-related mortality., Conclusions: Endoscope was very effective and safe in the management of chronic subdural hematoma, especially in about 51% patients with solid clots, septations, and bridging vessels which could have been difficult to treat by conventional burr hole. It can avoid craniotomy in such patients. Good visualization and complete hematoma removal were possible with the help of an endoscope and brain retractor in about 27% of patients which could have been difficult with a rigid endoscope alone., (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Inc.

- Abstract
Background and Objectives: Atlantoaxial dislocation (AAD) poses a complex surgical challenge. Surgical approaches vary for reducible and irreducible cases. Challenges persist in reducing the atlantodental interval, especially in cases with oblique or vertical C1-C2 joints. The Rocker instrument (MJ Surgical), a less-explored technique, seeks to simplify instrumentation, reduce complexity, and enhance translation and retroflection reduction of AAD., Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted from January 2022 to July 2023 at a tertiary neurosurgical center. Inclusion criteria covered all age groups with AAD, with or without basilar invagination. Exclusions included medically unstable patients and severe osteoporotic spine conditions. Preoperative assessments included dynamic X-rays, magnetic resonance imaging, and computed tomography scans. The Rocker technique was used, and patients were followed up for 6 to 12 months., Results: Fifty-five patients (30 males, 25 females) underwent surgery. The mean age was 40.41 ± 15.01 years. Successful Rocker technique application was observed in 53 cases. Functional outcomes, assessed using Modified Ranawat grading, showed improvement postoperatively. Radiological outcomes revealed a significant reduction in the anterior atlantodental interval (7.21 ± 0.94 to 2.98 ± 0.78). Basilar invagination was reduced in all cases, whenever present. The technique exhibited versatility, applicability in various joint orientations, and cost-effectiveness., Conclusion: The Rocker technique is a safe and effective alternative for managing both reducible and irreducible AADs, with or without basilar invagination. It simplifies the reduction process, offering advantages over established techniques. Further trials, especially in rotational deformities, are warranted for validation., (Copyright © Congress of Neurological Surgeons 2024. All rights reserved.)

Lacy J, Bajaj J, and Gillis CC
- Abstract
The atlantoaxial joint is the most mobile joint, with several critical neurovascular structures traversing through it.The atlantoaxial segment consists of the atlas (C1) and axis (C2) and forms a complex transitional structure bridging the occiput and cervical spine. The functional result of the joint is two-fold: (1) providing support for the occiput and (2) providing the greatest range of motion and flexibility possible while maintaining stability. The instability in this joint is usually congenital, but in adults, it may be due to an acute traumatic event or degenerative disease., (Copyright © 2022, StatPearls Publishing LLC.)

Bajaj J and Munakomi S
- Abstract
Migraine is a primary neurologic headache, often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, photophobia, phonophobia, or vertigo, and may present with or without aura. It is prevalent in 11.7% of Americans with 17.1% in women, and 5.6% in men. Migraine can be acute or chronic. Treatment of this condition includes beta-blockers, anticonvulsants, calcium channel blockers, tricyclic antidepressants, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, among others. Migraine surgery is indicated when the condition is refractory to medical management. Chronic migraine is defined by the International Headache Society classification of headache disorders (ICHD-3). It is described as: Headache occurring on ≥15 days/month. Duration > 3 months. Having features of migraine on ≥8 days/month., (Copyright © 2022, StatPearls Publishing LLC.)

- Abstract
The temporoparietal fascia (TPF) lies under the skin and subcutaneous tissue over the temporal fossa. It is also known as the superficial temporal fascia. It is continuous with the superficial musculoaponeurotic system that is inferior to the zygomatic arch. These two structures are continuous with the platysma muscle in the neck, creating a unified fascia layer from the scalp to the clavicle. The temporoparietal fascia joins the orbicularis oculi and frontalis muscles anteriorly and the occipitalis muscle posteriorly. It is approximately 2 to 3 mm thick. The layers from the skin to the cranium from superficial to deep in this region are as follows: Skin. Subcutaneous tissue . Temporoparietal fascia (superficial temporal fascia). Innominate fascia . Deep temporal fascia (divides into a deep and superficial layer). Temporalis muscle . Pericranium. Cranium . The deep temporal fascia splits into a deep and superficial layer before it inserts into the superior aspect of the zygomatic arch. The superficial temporal fat pad divides these two layers. A proper understanding of the anatomy surrounding the temporoparietal fascia is essential for surgical considerations as it can serve as donor tissue for reconstruction. Additionally, a thorough knowledge of the temporoparietal fascia's relation to surrounding neurovascular structures is integral to safe surgical dissections in this area., (Copyright © 2022, StatPearls Publishing LLC.)

M Das J and Bajaj J
- Abstract
Pneumocephalus (also known as pneumatocele or intracranial aerocele) is defined as the presence of air in the epidural, subdural, or subarachnoid space within the brain parenchyma or ventricular cavities. Lecat first described this condition in 1741, but the term "pneumocephalus" was coined independently by Luckett in 1913 and Wolff in 1914. The term "tension pneumocephalus" (TP) was proposed in 1962 by Ectors, Kessler, and Stern. Pneumocephalus can occur following trauma, cranial surgeries, or spontaneously. It is classified as simple or tension pneumocephalus. It can also be classified as acute (less than 72 hours) or delayed (72 hours or more). It has to be differentiated from the following terms: 1. Pneumorrhachis denotes intraspinal air. 2. Pneumocele is a focal or diffuse enlargement of any paranasal sinus (usually frontal) associated with thinning of its bony walls and hyperpneumatization. 3. Pneumosinus dilatans is the same as pneumocele, but the sinus walls are intact and normal. 4. Pneumoventricle is the presence of intraventricular air. The term tension pneumoventricle is used when there is an intraventricular accumulation of air causing an increase in the intracranial pressure and compression of vital centers., (Copyright © 2022, StatPearls Publishing LLC.)

- Abstract
Objective: The authors sought to analyze the residual connections formed by the temporal stem as a cause for seizure recurrence following endoscopic vertical interhemispheric hemispherotomy and to review and compare lateral approach (perisylvian) with vertical approach surgical techniques to highlight the anatomical factors responsible for residual connections., Methods: This study was a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent endoscopic hemispherotomy for drug-resistant epilepsy. Postoperative MR images were analyzed. Specific attention was given to anatomical 3D-acquired thin-section T1 images to assess the extent of disconnection, which was confirmed with a diffusion tensor imaging sequence. Cadaver brain dissection was done to analyze the anatomical factors responsible for persistent connections., Results: Of 39 patients who underwent surgery, 80% (31/39) were seizure free (follow-up of 23.61 ± 8.25 months) following the first surgery. Thirty patients underwent postoperative MRI studies, which revealed persistent connections in 14 patients (11 temporal stem only; 3 temporal stem + amygdala + splenium). Eight of these 14 patients had persistent seizures. In 4 of these 8 patients, investigations revealed good concordance with the affected hemisphere, and repeat endoscopic disconnection of the residual connection was performed. Two of the 8 patients were lost to follow-up, and 2 had bihemispheric seizure onset. The 4 patients who underwent repeat endoscopic disconnection had seizure-free outcomes following the second surgery, increasing the good outcome total among all patients to 90% (35/39). Cadaveric brain dissection analysis revealed the anatomical factors responsible for the persistence of residual connections., Conclusions: In endoscopic vertical approach interhemispheric hemispherotomy (and also vertical approach parasagittal hemispherotomy) the temporal stem, which lies deep and parallel to the plane of disconnection, is prone to be missed, which might lead to persistent or recurrent seizures. The recognition of this limitation can lead to improved seizure outcome. The amygdala and splenium are areas less commonly prone to be missed during surgery.

- Abstract
Tubercular meningitis (TBM) can have various complications. Sometimes syringomyelia can also occur as a late complication of tubercular meningitis. Although syrinx formation in early stage of TBM is very rare. There are only four published case reports of syringomyelia in acute stage of TBM. Here we report a patient with tubercular meningitis who developed syringomyelia in early course of illness., (© Journal of the Association of Physicians of India 2011.)

- Abstract
Tuberculosis of the central nervous system (CNS) is well known. CNS involvement can occur in the form of tubercular meningitis (TBM), tuberculous vasculitis, tuberculoma and rarely brain abscess. Tubercular granulomas generally solitary and occur in the brain but they may be multiple and involve other areas such as spinal cord, epidural space and subdural space also. Tuberculoma in the spinal cord is rare. Co-occurrence of intracerebral and intramedullary spinal tuberculoma is extremely rare in children with only few cases reported till date. We are reporting one such case in children and review of literature., (© Journal of the Association of Physicians of India 2011.)

- Abstract
Although endoscopic techniques have many advantages including improved visualization and magnification, they are also associated with limitations. The objective of this review is to discuss the practical aspects that can reduce complications after endoscopic procedures, and their management. The review is based on the personal experience of more than 2000 neuroendoscopic procedures performed by the senior author. Topic search was made on PubMed using Neuroendoscopy, complications and neuroendoscopy, complication avoidance and neuroendoscopy, endoscopic neurosurgery, and minimally invasive neurosurgery. Relevant articles were selected after analyzing abstracts and/or topics. Endoscopic procedures are also associated with limitations such as obstruction in instruments manipulation, steep learning curve, blind area, difficulty in visualization, disorientation, loss of stereoscopic image and others. Neuroendoscopy is distinct from microsurgery and the surgeon has to learn endoscopic skills in addition to microsurgical techniques. Difficulties in controlling bleeding, working in a limited area, higher complication rate during the initial learning curve and longer operative time are some of the limitations. Attending live workshops, practicing on models, and hands on cadaveric workshops can reduce the learning curve. Proper case selection, multidisciplinary team approach, watching operative video, visiting other departments, observing a skillful endoscopic surgeon, lab training, and simulators can improve results and shorten the learning curve. Limitations of this review are that the search is limited to the English literature and personal experience of a single surgeon that may create some bias. Although neuroendoscopic techniques are associated with improved results in some indications, they have many limitations. Neuroendoscopic skills need to be learned to improve results.

- Abstract
Aim: Microscope may fail to detect culprit vessel at the root entry zone or distally, especially when the suprameatal tubercle is prominent and when the compressing vessel is lying anteriorly to the trigeminal nerve without using significant brain retraction. Endoscopic techniques allow better visualization of the nerve and vascular conflict., Material and Methods: A retrospective study of 178 patients of endoscopic vascular decompression without the use of microscope was done. The follow-up period ranged from 12 to 108 months (average 58 months)., Results: The age of the patients ranged from 32 to 75 years. Neuralgia was in the maxillary, mandibular and both (maxillary and mandibular) divisions in 89, 72 and 16 patients, respectively. Duration of the operation and hospital stay ranged from 85 to 160 minutes and 2 to 10 days (average 2.7 days), respectively. Offending vessels could be identified in 174 patients. The superior cerebellar artery, anterior inferior cerebellar artery, single vessel, double vessel conflicts and a vessel anterior to the nerve were seen in 136, 76, 133, 41 and 31 patients, respectively. The pain was relieved in 167 patients (93.8%). Temporary complications included trigeminal dysesthesias (3.9%), cerebrospinal fluid leak (2.8%), facial paresis (3.9%), decreased hearing (1.7%) and vertigo (3.3%). Permanent hearing loss, recurrence of pain and re-surgery was observed in 1, 7 and 3 patients, respectively., Conclusion: Endoscopic vascular decompression is a safe and effective technique for vascular decompression with advantages of better visualization of the entire course of the nerve and vascular conflict without brain retraction. It also helps in better detection of the completeness of surgery.
