Sacral cyst usually occurs around the nerve root, which is the accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid between the intima and the perineurium at the junction of the posterior spinal nerve root and the dorsal root ganglion. Its typical clinical manifestations include low back pain, lower limb radiation pain, rectal/bladder dysfunction and so on. Complications of acute subdural hematoma with cerebral hernia after posterior midline cystectomy of sacral cyst are rare. A middle-aged female patient with sacral cyst was admitted to Gansu Provincial Hospital. After the operation, acute subdural hematoma occurred in the right frontoparietal temporal occipital region, and cerebral herniation was formed. After the operation, the patient was given rehabilitation exercise and discharged well. No neurological deficits were observed during follow-up.

Objective To explore the effect of hematoma aspiration device combined with low posterior osteotomy and small bone window craniotomy on neurological function and prognosis in patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage(HICH).Methods The clinical data of 132 patients with HICH in the Department of Neurosurgery,Gansu Provincial people's Hospital from February 2020 to February 2022 were collected and divided into small bone window group(n=52)and aspiration group(n=80).The levels of serum neuron specific enolase(NSE)and interleukin-6(IL-6)were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).The intraoperative condition(duration of operation and intraoperative blood loss),intracranial pressure,complete clearance rate of intracranial hematoma and the incidence of postoperative complications were compared.The prognosis of the patients was evaluated by activity of daily living scale(ADL).Results There was no significant difference in the levels of serum NSE and IL-6 between the two groups before operation(P>0.05).The levels of NSE and IL-6 in serum after operation were significantly lower than those before operation,and the intracranial pressure was improved after treatment,the difference has statistic significance(P<0.05).The postoperative serum NSE and IL-6 levels,operation duration,postoperative intracranial pressure and the total incidence of complications in aspiration group were lower than those in small bone window group(P<0.05),but there was no significant difference in intraoperative blood loss and the total incidence of long-term complications between the two groups(P>0.05).During the 6-month follow-up after surgery,the good prognosis rate of aspiration group was higher than that of small bone window group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05);There was no statistically significant difference in the complete clearance rate of intracranial hematoma between the two groups of patients(P>0.05).Conclusion Low posterior osteotomy combined with hematoma aspiration can effectively treat HICH,promote the recovery of neurological function in patients.

Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are compounds composed of depolymerized DNA fibers and antimicrobial peptides released by neutrophils. NETs formation not only plays a role in pathological process of non-infectious diseases such as cystic fibrosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, diabetes and cancer, but also is closely related to many central nervous system diseases. In recent years, a large number of studies have found the presence of neutrophils and NETs in perivascular space of the infarcted lesions in patients with ischemic stroke (IS) and corresponding animal models. This article provides a review on NETs formation and clearance process, characteristics of NETs changes after IS, pathological processes involved in NETs after IS, and effects of NETs on neurons, to provide some references for IS.
