2.Pterional, Trans-Sylvian Approach for Aneurysm Surgery.
Korean Journal of Cerebrovascular Disease 2000;2(2):149-153
Pterional, trans-sylvian approach is a basic and most popular neurosurgical procedure used in surgical treatment of various vascular, tumor and other lesions located in and around the sellar and parasellar region. It has several benefits such as a shorter working distance, anatomical familiarity, lesser need for brain retraction with wide sylvian dissection, ability of extension with some modification. All anterior circulation aneurysm except pericallosal origin aneurysm and some aneurysm of posterior circulation can be approached with pterional, trans-sylvian method. The authors discribe the procedure of pterional trans-sylvian approach.

Intraorbital expansion is not rare in frontoethmoidal mucoceles and various rhinological surgeries have been reported for the management of this condition. However, although intraorbital mucoceles are apt to be accompanied by ophthalmological or neurological complications, their treatment by neurosurgical procedures has been reported considerably less frequently than that by rhinological approach. The authors report a patient with intraorbital mucopyocele that was extended from the frontoethmoidal sinus but separated by the thick fibrous septum. The patient had suffered from progressive proptosis with orbital pain and was successfully treated with transorbital complete removal of cyst by the subfrontal extradural approach. We suggest that an subfrontal transorbital approach such as this method is needed for complete marsupialization of an intraorbital mucocele and to prevent recurrence, especially in cases like our presentation.

Vancomycin-resistant enterococci(VRE) are rare cause of meningitis, occurring in immunocompromised patients, severely ill, hospitalized patient, and patients who have undergone neurosurgical procedures. Resistance to vancomycin has increased in frequency during the past few years. Limited therapeutic options are available for VRE infections and the optimum therapy has not been established. We report a case of VRE meningitis that was successfully treated with administration of quinupristindalfopristin (Synercid) by both intravenous and intraventricular routes. A brief review of the literature is provided, which indicates that optimal management with Synercid should include daily intraventricular doses of at least 2 mg and intravenous 0.5 mg/kg every 8 hours. We also review the previously reported cases of VRE meningitis.

Venous air embolism (VAE) is a life-threatening complication of some surgical procedures. Though occurrence of VAE is frequent during neurosurgical procedures, coagulopathy following VAE has not previously been reported. Coagulation abnormalities are more commonly reported associated with fat or amniotic fluid embolism, but rarely with VAE. We present a case of massive VAE in sitting position leading to fatal coagulopathy even after successful resuscitation following the event. Coagulation abnormalities and bleeding can produce catastrophic consequences in neurosurgical patients. This report emphasizes the possibility of this potentially fatal complication in patients who have sustained a massive VAE.

Different techniques of peritoneal closure were evaluated on their effect on the development of postoperative adhesions. Sixty rats were divided into 3 groups of 20 and each group was assigned to one technique. The peritoneum was closed in the 2 groups using different techniques; conventional or edge to edge in the first group and everted edges in the second. In the third group, the peritoneum was not closed. This study showed that there was a significant reduction in the development of postoperative adhesions with one closure of the peritoneum. Suturing of the edges of the peritoneum increased the incidence as well as the severity of postoperative adhesions.

9.LMA-guided retrograde intubation in a neurosurgical patient
Philippine Journal of Anesthesiology 1999;11(1):43-48
The airway management of a 42 year old male with half a face (S/P wide excision of left maxilla, orbital exenteration, pectoralis major flap, tracheostomy) in a "cannot ventilate, cannot intubate" situation for craniectomy with excision of tumor recurrence using LMA-guided retrograde intubation will be discussed.

OBJECTIVETo review the history, development, and reality of neuronavigation surgery in China and to discuss the future of neuronavigation surgery.
DATA SOURCESPubMed, the China Knowledge Resource Integrated Database, and the VIP Database for Chinese Technical Periodicals were searched for papers published from 1995 to the present with the key words "neuronavigation," functional navigation," "image-guided," and "stereotaxy." Articles were reviewed for additional citations, and some information was gathered from Web searches.
STUDY SELECTIONArticles related to neuronavigation surgery in China were selected, with special attention to application to brain tumors.
RESULTSSince the introduction of neurosurgical navigation to China in 1997, this core technique in minimally invasive neurosurgery has seen rapid development. This development has ranged from brain structural localization to functional brain mapping, from static digital models of the brain to dynamic brain-shift compensation models, and from preoperative image-guided surgery to intraoperative real-time image-guided surgery, and from application of imported equipment and technology to use of equipment and technology that possess Chinese independent intellectual property rights.
CONCLUSIONSThe development and application of neuronavigation techniques have made neurological surgeries in China more safe, precise and effective, and less invasive, and promoted the quality of Chinese neurosurgical practice to the rank of the most advance and excellence in the world.
