BRAIN MAPPING IN NEUROSURGERY
Background and Aim: Brain mapping is a study of the anatomy and function of the CNS (central nervous system). Brain mapping has many techniques and these techniques are permanently changing and updating. From the beginning, brain mapping was invasive and for brain mapping, electrical stimulation of the exposed brain was needed. However, nowadays brain mapping does not require electrical stimula...
متن کاملBrain protection during neurosurgery.
The initial concept of brain protection during neurosurgery is based on research done in the 1970s-1980 which established the concept that by decreasing cerebral metabolic rate the brain could survive longer periods of ischemia. The first section of this chapter reviews some of this initial research that promoted the use of barbiturates for cerebral protection. The second section reviews curren...
متن کاملIntraoperative MRI in neurosurgery: technical overkill or the future of brain surgery?
The development of image-guided neurosurgery represents a substantial improvement in the microsurgical treatment of tumors, vascular malformations and other intracranial lesions. Despite the wide applicability and many fascinating aspects of image-guided navigation systems, a major drawback of this technology is they use images, mainly MRI pictures, acquired preoperatively, on which the plannin...
متن کاملBrain Protection in Neurosurgery - Dos and Don'ts
After an official Decade of the Brain that followed two decades of searching for the same prize, one might ask "Why is it taking so long?" Most of the answer to that question is straightforward and simple: M&M rates for elective neurosurgery are so low that daunting sample sizes would be required to detect a major improvement in morbidity, detecting lesser improvements would require even larger...
متن کاملInter-Operative Time between Neurosurgery and Cardiac Surgery for Native Valve Endocarditis
Introduction: Infective endocarditis is well known to produce neurologic complications from septic emboli, which mandates a multidisciplinary approach between neurosurgery and cardiac surgery. However, literature is not clear as to the optimal interval length between neurosurgery and cardiac surgery.Presentation of Cases: The first case involves a 60-year-old woman with significant past medical...
