OBJECTIVE: Hypoglossal-facial nerve anastomosis for the purpose of
reanimating the muscles of facial expression is a well known procedure with
variable published results. In this retrospective clinical study, we aimed to
evaluate the results of our series of patients who underwent hypoglossal-fac...

OBJECTIVE: The objective of the present study is to display the significance of
early intervention in large vessel injury associated with surgery of herniated
lumbar disc and demonstrate how the complications of vessel injuries are
evaluated by medical experts.
METHODS: Our study was based on a ...

OBJECTIVE: To the best of our knowledge, a clinical study of lumbar disc
pathologies associated with other spinal pathologies has never been published
before. We determined clinical, radiological, surgical data, and long term results
for cauda equina and conus medullaris syndromes (CCES) due to p...

OBJECTIVE: The cranio-orbitozygomatic (COZ) approach improves the
surgical exposure by providing the shortest possible route to the lesion. We
discussed the microsurgical anatomy of the region and described the steps for a
safe COZ approach.
METHODS: The COZ approach and its modifications were p...

An 11-year-old boy with a large pineal region mass was admitted to our clinic.
The preliminary diagnosis was teratoma. Tumor resection was carried out via
combined occipital, transtentorial, supracerebellar, transsinus approach. The
tumor tissue was completely resected, and no operative complicat...
Although hemangioblastomas may be seen in various locations of the central
nervous system (CNS), intradural-extramedullary spinal hemangioblastomas
are extremely rare. Hemangioblastomas are histologically benign lesions. They
may cause important neurological deficits and may bleed during the oper...
OBJECTIVE: The English literature describes no pediatric cases of reduction of
high-grade spondylolisthesis using the transvertebral surgical approach. We
report a case of a high-grade spondylolisthesis in a child and provide a review.
The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy of a spec...
CT guided percutaneous cordotomy relies on understanding anatomic and
physiological cues in order to be performed safely and effectively. While the CT
scan provides excellent anatomic targeting information, it does not supplant the
vital confirmation that stimulation provides during this procedur...

Spinal epidural abscess is a rare complication of epidural catheterization with
an estimated incidence of 0.2 to 2.8 cases per 10,000 per year, with the peak
incidence occurring in patients in their 60's and 70's. Delay in diagnosis or
treatment may have devastating consequences, resulting in sev...
Chronic epidural hematoma is rare and not a well-known clinical entity. We
present a 10-year-old male who complained of headache, nausea and diplopia
due to supra- and infratentorial chronic epidural hematoma. He was operated
with two burr holes located supra- and infratentorially. The hematoma w...
