Abstract: Pituitary xanthogranulomatomas (XG) are a rare pathological entity caused by accumulation of lipid laden macrophages and reactive granuloma formation usually triggered by cystic fluid leakage or hemorrhage. Our aim was to compare clinical characteristics and presenting features of patients with secondary etiology of XG and those with no identifiable founding lesion (primary -“pure” XG) in order to gain new insights into this rare pituitary pathology. In a retrospective review of 714 patients operated for sellar masses, at tertiary center, we identified 16 (2.24%) with histologically confirmed diagnosis of pituitary XG over the period of 7 years (2015–2021). Patients were further analyzed according to XG etiology: “pure”- XG (n = 8) with no identifiable founding lesion were compared to those with histological elements of pituitary tumor or cyst – secondary XG (n = 8). We identified 16 patients (11 male), mean age 44.8 ± 22.3 years, diagnosed with pituitary XG. Secondary forms were associated with Ratke’s cleft cyst (RCC, n = 2) and pituitary adenoma (PA, n = 6). The most common presenting features in both groups were hypopituitarism (75%), headache (68.5%) and visual disturbances (37.5%). Predominance of male sex was noted (males 68.75%, females 31.25%), especially in patients with primary forms. Patients with primary pituitary XG were all males (p = 0.0256) and more frequently affected by panhypopituitarism (87.5% vs. 25%, p = 0.0406) compared to patients with secondary causes. Hyperprolactinemia was noted in pituitary tumor group with secondary etiology only (p = 0.0769). Majority of lesions were solid on magnetic resonance imaging - MRI (81.25%). Distinct clinical phenotype was observed dependent on the etiology of XG.

Abstract: Objectives Paediatric cancer is a leading cause of death for children. Children in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) were four times more likely to die than children in high-income countries (HICs). This study aimed to test the hypothesis that the COVID-19 pandemic had affected the delivery of healthcare services worldwide, and exacerbated the disparity in paediatric cancer outcomes between LMICs and HICs.Design A multicentre, international, collaborative cohort study.Setting 91 hospitals and cancer centres in 39 countries providing cancer treatment to paediatric patients between March and December 2020.Participants Patients were included if they were under the age of 18 years, and newly diagnosed with or undergoing active cancer treatment for Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma, Wilms’ tumour, sarcoma, retinoblastoma, gliomas, medulloblastomas or neuroblastomas, in keeping with the WHO Global Initiative for Childhood Cancer.Main outcome measure All-cause mortality at 30 days and 90 days.Results 1660 patients were recruited. 219 children had changes to their treatment due to the pandemic. Patients in LMICs were primarily affected (n=182/219, 83.1%). Relative to patients with paediatric cancer in HICs, patients with paediatric cancer in LMICs had 12.1 (95% CI 2.93 to 50.3) and 7.9 (95% CI 3.2 to 19.7) times the odds of death at 30 days and 90 days, respectively, after presentation during the COVID-19 pandemic (p

Abstract: ObjectivesPaediatric cancer is a leading cause of death for children. Children in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) were four times more likely to die than children in high-income countries (HICs). This study aimed to test the hypothesis that the COVID-19 pandemic had affected the delivery of healthcare services worldwide, and exacerbated the disparity in paediatric cancer outcomes between LMICs and HICs.DesignA multicentre, international, collaborative cohort study.Setting91 hospitals and cancer centres in 39 countries providing cancer treatment to paediatric patients between March and December 2020.ParticipantsPatients were included if they were under the age of 18 years, and newly diagnosed with or undergoing active cancer treatment for Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma, Wilms’ tumour, sarcoma, retinoblastoma, gliomas, medulloblastomas or neuroblastomas, in keeping with the WHO Global Initiative for Childhood Cancer.Main outcome measureAll-cause mortality at 30 days and 90 days.Results1660 patients were recruited. 219 children had changes to their treatment due to the pandemic. Patients in LMICs were primarily affected (n=182/219, 83.1%). Relative to patients with paediatric cancer in HICs, patients with paediatric cancer in LMICs had 12.1 (95% CI 2.93 to 50.3) and 7.9 (95% CI 3.2 to 19.7) times the odds of death at 30 days and 90 days, respectively, after presentation during the COVID-19 pandemic (pConclusionsThe COVID-19 pandemic has affected paediatric oncology service provision. It has disproportionately affected patients in LMICs, highlighting and compounding existing disparities in healthcare systems globally that need addressing urgently. However, many patients with paediatric cancer continued to receive their normal standard of care. This speaks to the adaptability and resilience of healthcare systems and healthcare workers globally.

Abstract: IntroductionChildhood cancer is a leading cause of death. It is unclear whether the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted childhood cancer mortality. In this study, we aimed to establish all-cause mortality rates for childhood cancers during the COVID-19 pandemic and determine the factors associated with mortality.MethodsProspective cohort study in 109 institutions in 41 countries. Inclusion criteria: children ResultsAll-cause mortality was 3.4% (n=71/2084) at 30-day follow-up, 5.7% (n=113/1969) at 90-day follow-up and 13.0% (n=206/1581) at 12-month follow-up. The median time from diagnosis to multidisciplinary team (MDT) plan was longest in low-income countries (7 days, IQR 3–11). Multivariable analysis revealed several factors associated with 12-month mortality, including low-income (OR 6.99 (95% CI 2.49 to 19.68); pConclusionsChildren with cancer are more likely to die within 30 days if infected with SARS-CoV-2. However, timely treatment reduced odds of death. This report provides crucial information to balance the benefits of providing anticancer therapy against the risks of SARS-CoV-2 infection in children with cancer.

Abstract: Introduction/objective: Anaplastic gliomas compromise about 5.9% of primary CNS tumors. The main goal of the operation is the maximum removal of the tumor, reduction of the tumor mass and reduction of the increased intracranial pressure. Different pathohistological subtypes of anaplastic gliomas show significantly different prognosis depending on the applied oncological therapeutic protocol as well as the modality of the applied radiotherapy. Materials and methods: The study was designed as a retrospective, clinical observational study. The study included 34 participants who were diagnosed with anaplastic glioma in the followed time period. Survival rates were calculated based on the localization, modality of therapy and complications. Results: we concluded that 20,4% of anaplastic gliomas were formed by transformation from previously operated lower grade gliomas. The initial sign of the disease is the appearance of epileptic seizures. Anaplastic gliomas most oftenly occur in the frontal region, with a frequency of 47%. The incidence of anaplastic gliomas in the temporal lobe is 23,5%. The length of survival is in relation to the localization of tumor expansion(p Conclusion: The application of different chemotherapy modalities is not significant predictor in the length of survival. The radical nature of the operation has significance in the length of patient survival, which confirms the conclusions of most of the conducted studies cited in oncology textbooks.

Abstract: Introduction. The spine is involved in less than 1% of all tuberculosis (TB) cases, and it is a very dangerous type of skeletal TB as it can be associated with neurologic deficit and even paraplegia due to compression of adjacent neural structures and significant spinal deformity. The spine TB is one of the most common causes for an angular kyphotic deformity of spine. Patients with 60 or more degree kyphosis at dorsolumbar spine are at great risk to develop late onset neurological deficit and paraplegia due to chronic compression and stretching of the spinal cord over bonny ridges. In small portion of cases other conditions may lead to neurological deficit in patients with long standing angular kyphosis which also alters the treatment strategy that otherwise involves prolonged and mutilant surgery. Case outline. We present a case of a 61-year-old male patient with concomitant 90-degree dorsolumbar spine kyphosis due to spinal TB and ligamentum flavum hypertrophy, which led to spinal canal stenosis with myelopathy and consequent paraplegia. The patient undergoes dorsal decompression with removal of the hypertrophic yellow ligament after which he recovered to the level of walking. Conclusion. Many authors propose guidelines for treatment of spinal TB taking into account the stage of the disease, the age of the patient, the angle of kyphosis, and other factors. We find that the best approach for each patient is personalized medical approach.

Abstract: Background. Mortality rates following aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH) have decreased due to improvements in diagnoses and the management of complications, as well as early obliteration of the aneurysms. Neurogenic pulmonary oedema (NPO) is a clinical syndrome associated with an acute increase in intracranial pressure and a release of catecholamines into the circulation. This study investigated independent predictors of unfavourable outcomes (Glasgow Outcome Scores 1, 2 or 3) in patients with aSAH. Materials and methods. A total of 262 patients with aSAH (162 females) were included in this prospective study. Clinical characteristics were assessed, and electrocardiographic, serum cardiac and inflammatory biomarker measurements were recorded on admission. Outcomes were assessed three months after admission. Univariate and multivariate analyses of these data were used to predict unfavourable outcomes. Results. A total of 156 patients (59.54%) had unfavourable outcomes. Compared to those who had favourable outcomes, patients with unfavourable outcomes were significantly older (54.37 ± 10.56 vs. 49.13 ± 10.77 years; p < 0.001) and had more severe aSAHs (Hunt and Hess grades ≥ 3: 82.7% vs. 39.6%; p < 0.001). Patients with unfavourable outcomes were more likely to have NPO (10.3% vs. 2.8%; p = 0.023), hydrocephalus (34.0% vs. 20.8%; p = 0.02), and aneurysm reruptures (28.2% vs. 3.8%; p < 0.001). Independent predictors of an unfavourable outcome included Hunt and Hess grades ≥ 3 (odds ratio [OR], 4.291; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.168–8.491; p < 0.001), increased systolic blood pressure on admission (OR, 1.020; 95% CI, 1.002–1.038; p = 0.03), increased heart rate (HR) on admission (OR, 1.024; 95% CI, 1.001–1.048; p = 0.04), and aneurysm rerupture (OR, 4.961; 95% CI, 1.461–16.845; p = 0.01). Conclusions. These findings suggest that aneurysm reruptures, as well as increased blood pressure and HR, are associated with unfavourable outcomes in patients with aSAH.

Abstract: Introduction/Objective. Pseudoprogression represents an enlarging contrast-enhancing lesion that occurs after chemoradiation and stabilizes with time without any changes in the therapeutic procedure. This phenomenon is highly significant, because it can have influence on further therapeutic procedures; however, precise criteria for pseudoprogression diagnosis have not yet been defined. The main goal of this study is to examine the endothelial hyperplasia influence on pseudoprogression. Methods. We analyzed a group of 106 patients with glioblastoma who had undergone surgical treatment from 2010?2012, at the Clinic of Neurosurgery, Clinical Center of Serbia, who received Stupp protocol. Pre- and post-treatment imaging was evaluated using RANO criteria. Lesions that improved or stabilized were defined as pseudoprogression, and lesions that progressed were defined as true progression. Endothelial hyperplasia was identified based on the hematoxylin and eosin pathohistological examination. Results. Thirty-two (30.2%) of the patients were diagnosed with pseudoprogression. Endothelial hyperplasia was observed in 51 (48.1%) of glioblastoma tissue samples, and 28 (87.5%) of all the patients with pseudoprogression were found to have endothelial hyperplasia. The group of 51 (68.9%) patients without pseudoprogression did not show the presence of endothelial hyperplasia. Statistical analysis showed significantly higher incidence of pseudoprogression in patients with endothelial hyperplasia. (?2 = 26.269, p < 0.01) Conclusion. Taking into account that there are no precise diagnostic methods that could determine the presence of endothelial hyperplasia with certainty, it could be an indicator, as a pathohistological entity, of a higher likelihood of pseudoprogression, which could be used in everyday clinical practice. In order to reach definite conclusions, we believe it is necessary to conduct prospective controlled studies with larger sample sizes.

Abstract: AIM To analyze the impact of intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) on the extent of removal and long-term neurological outcomes in a series of grade II ependymomas. MATERIAL AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 88 consecutive patients who underwent surgical resection of an intramedullary spinal cord tumor (IMSCT) at the Clinic of Neurosurgery of the Clinical Center of Serbia in Belgrade between January 2012 and December 2017. In all, 39 patients (25 males and 14 females; mean age 46.16 years) with grade II ependymomas were enrolled in this study; the mean follow-up time was 49.84 months. The modified McCormick Scale (mMCS) was used to assess the short- and long-term outcomes, and the patients were divided into two groups based on whether they underwent IONM. RESULTS The gross-total removal rate was 89.7%, and it was not influenced by use of IONM, location or tumor size. Upon admission,43.2% of the patients were dependent (grades IV and V), while 56.8% were independent (grades I, II and III), according to the mMCS. After 3 months of follow-up, 76.9% of the patients maintained or improved their neurological status, but this percentage was reduced after long-term follow-up. CONCLUSION Total surgical resection with good neurological outcomes can be achieved in the vast majority of patients with grade II ependymomas; it is important to emphasize that the use of IONM allows acceptable extent of resection and provides better results in terms of functional outcomes, with lower morbidity rates. Therefore, no correlation was demonstrated between the decrease in the basal amplitudes of IONM and D-waves and poor neurological outcomes.

Abstract: Purpose: The aim of this study is to highlight the role of the endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) in pediatric craniopharyngiomas by reviewing our experience and the key lessons learned from the application of this approach in children. Methods: Between 1998 and 2017, 12 pediatric craniopharyngiomas were treated via EEA at our institution. Demographic data, preoperative assessment, tumor features, surgical results, complications, and recurrences were analyzed. Results: Visual defects were the most frequent presenting sign. Seven craniopharyngiomas were infradiaphragmatic, and five were supradiaphragmatic. The EEA was successfully performed in all cases with no complication related to children’s sinonasal anatomy. Gross total resection (GTR) rate was of 75%. Endocrinological disturbances improved in one case (20%) and worsened in three (60%). New onset of diabetes insipidus was observed in four (36%) children. Visual defect improved in 91% of cases, with no new postoperative deficit. Postoperative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak occurred in one patient (8%). Three patients (27%) experienced tumor regrowth, and one craniopharyngioma recurred (mean follow-up, 78 months). Conclusions: The EEA offers a straight route to the sellar-suprasellar, making it the ideal approach for pediatric infradiaphragmatic craniopharyngiomas. In supradiaphragmatic craniopharyngiomas, the extended EEA provides a clearer and close-up visualization of the tumor-hypothalamus interface, which can grant better results in terms of quality of life. The pediatric skull base anatomy should not represent a contraindication for the endoscopic technique. Larger series encompassing a wider spectrum of pediatric craniopharyngiomas are needed to further support the benefits of this surgical approach.

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Current treatment protocol for glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is based on maximal safe resection followed by the Stupp protocol. In Serbia, temozolomide was introduced as adjuvant therapy in 2011. The aims of this study were to confirm the safety and efficacy on overall and progression-free survival of the Stupp protocol and evaluate the influence of prognostic factors in one of the largest series of patients with GBM treated over a 2-year period. METHODS: Between January 2010 and December 2012, 110 patients with newly diagnosed GBM underwent surgical removal at the Neurooncology Department of the Clinic Center of Serbia. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to postoperative treatment. Group A (n= 24 patients), treated before January 2011, received adjuvant standard radiation therapy and carmustine (bis-chloroethyl-nitrosourea), and group B (n= 86 patients), treated after January 2011, received postoperative treatment according to the Stupp protocol. RESULTS: The Stupp protocol had a significant favorable impact on overall survival at 1-year follow-up (79.1% in group B vs. 62.5% in group A; P= 0.016); no differences were noted in regard to progression-free survival. Multivariate analysis identified younger age and gross total resection of tumor as positive prognostic factors. CONCLUSIONS: Adoption of the Stupp protocol had a favorable impact on overall, but not on progression-free, survival rate. Wider surgical resection involving the peritumoral brain zone, as confirmed by univariate and multivariate analysis, represents the most favorable prognostic factor.

Abstract: Background Primary intraventricular meningiomas (IVMs) make up 0.5%–5% of all intracranial meningiomas and represent one of the most challenging lesions in neurosurgery. Methods Between 1990 and 2013, 42 patients (30 female, 12 male; mean age, 43.6 years) underwent resection of their IVM. The removal was performed by a posterior parietal approach in 19 of the 40 lateral ventricle tumors, and 1 third ventricle meningioma. The transcallosal approach was used for 3 meningiomas, and patients with other lesions underwent temporal (7 cases) and temporoparietal approaches (12 patients), respectively. Results The most common presenting signs were increased intracranial pressure (83.3%), visual impairment (78.6%) and cognitive changes (50%). Forty lesions (95.2%) arose in the lateral ventricles, and 2 (4.8%) in the third ventricle, ranging in size from 3 to 10 cm. Total removal was achieved in 39 cases and the pathology report disclosed World Health Organization grade I lesions in 41 cases. Hydrocephalus, cerebrospinal fluid leakage, and cerebral edema were the postoperative complications (7.15%); 1 patient died of respiratory problems not directly related to surgery. Thirty-five patients (83.3%) showed a 6-month Glasgow Outcome Scale of 5. One patient, who underwent partial resection, presented a recurrence after 1 year that remained stable until last follow-up. Conclusions IVMs usually reach a large size before being diagnosed. Surgical treatment is the most suitable option and total removal should represent the main goal of the procedure. The posterior parietal transulcal approach and the temporoparietal approach are the most common surgical routes used in our series.

21. Reconstruction of Moderately and Severely Atrophic Scalp—A Multicentric Experience in Surgical Treatment of Patients Irradiated for Tinea Capitis in Childhood and Surgical Algorithm

Author: Maja Nikolić Živanović, Milana Jurišić, Milana Marinković, Danica Grujičić, Aleksandar Stanimirović, Vuk Šćepanović, Mihailo Milićević, Nikola Jovićević, Goran Videnović, Vedrana Pavlović, Sanda Bogunović Stojičić, Milan Jovanović, Jelena Jeremić, Marko Jović, Rosanda Ilić, and Milan Stojičić
Subjects: tinea capitis, favus, ringworm, radiation-induced meningioma, radiation-induced scalp defects, basal cell carcinoma, Medicine (General), R5-920
Abstract: Background and Objectives: Before the introduction of griseofluvin, the use of X-ray radiation was the treatment of choice for tinea capitis. More than half a century later various types of tumors have been found to be associated with childhood irradiation due to tinea capitis, most commonly cancers of the head and neck, as well as brain tumors. The often unusually aggressive and recurrent nature of these tumors necessitates the need for repeated surgeries, while the atrophic skin with an impaired vascular supply due to radiation often poses an additional challenge for defect reconstruction. We present our experience in the surgical treatment of such patients. Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study. In this study, 37 patients treated for acquired defects of the scalp with a history of irradiation therapy due to tinea capitis in childhood were included in this study, 24 male and 13 female patients. The mean age at the first appointment was 60.6 ± 7.8, with the youngest included patient being 46 and the oldest being 75 years old. Patients’ characteristics, surgical treatment, and complications were analyzed and a reconstructive algorithm was developed. Results: Local flaps were used for reconstruction in 34 patients, direct sutures were used in 10 patients and 20 patients received split-thickness skin grafts for coverage of both primary and secondary defects for reconstruction of flap donor sites. One regional flap and one dermal substitute covered by an autologous skin graft were also used for reconstruction. Complications occurred in 43.2% of patients and were significantly associated with the presence of comorbidities (p = 0.001), aseptic bone necrosis (p = 0.001), as well as skin atrophy in frontal, occipital, and parietal region (p = 0.001, p = 0.042 and p = 0.001, respectively). A significant correlation between major complications and moderate skin atrophy was found only in the parietal region (p = 0.026). Conclusions: Unfortunately, many protocols developed for scalp reconstruction are not applicable in the setting of severe or diffuse scalp skin atrophy associated with high tumor recurrence rate and radiation-induced vascular impairment, such as in tinea capitis patients in Serbia. An algorithm has been developed based on the authors’ experience in managing these patients.
