Simulated Spinal Cerebrospinal Fluid Leak Repair: An Educational Model With Didactic and Technical Components.
BACKGROUND In the era of surgical resident work hour restrictions, the traditional apprenticeship model may provide fewer hours for neurosurgical residents to hone technical skills. Spinal dura mater closure or repair is 1 skill that is infrequently encountered, and persistent cerebrospinal fluid leaks are a potential morbidity. OBJECTIVE To establish an educational curriculum to train reside...
متن کاملPreservation of the Myofascial Cuff During Posterior Fossa Surgery to Reduce the Rate of Pseudomeningocele Formation and Cerebrospinal Fluid Leak: A Technical Note
INTRODUCTION Suboccipital craniotomy is a workhorse neurosurgical operation for approaching the posterior fossa but carries a high risk of pseudomeningocele and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak. We describe our experience with a simple T-shaped fascial opening that preserves the occipital myofascial cuff as compared to traditional methods to reduce this risk. METHODS A single institution, ret...
متن کاملEndoscopic transnasal cerebrospinal fluid leak repair: a 10 year experience.
BACKGROUND Endoscopic techniques have gained popularity for the repair of anterior skull base defects. OBJECTIVE To describe the 10 year experience with endoscopic surgical repair of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea in a tertiary medical center. METHODS The files of all patients who underwent endoscopic transnasal CSF leak repair in our institution between 1996 and 2006 were reviewed. ...
متن کاملSpontaneous cerebrospinal fluid leak repair: a five-year prospective evaluation.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Mounting evidence indicates the majority of spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks are associated with intracranial hypertension. The objectives of the current study were to assess outcomes regarding spontaneous CSF leaks focusing on premorbid factors, surgical technique, and management of intracranial pressure. STUDY DESIGN Prospective cohort. METHODS Prospective...
متن کاملSymptomatic thoracic spinal cord compression caused by postsurgical pseudomeningocele.
We report the first case of symptomatic thoracic spinal cord compression caused by postsurgical pseudomeningocele. A 49-year-old man sought treatment for progressive loss of strength in the lower extremities ten months after full neurological recovery for a thoracic (T11) intradural-extramedullary schwannoma. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a postsurgical thoracic (T11-T12) pseudomeningocel...
