Objective: In the elderly, chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) has impairment of cognitive function such as memory and language. But these rather nonspecific symptoms may lead to misdiagnosis such as dementia and false treatment. The aim of this retrospective study was the identification of the leading clinical symptoms in patient with the diagnosis CSDH who had been treated surgically. Methods: 7...

The expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and fibroblast growth factor (FGF)2 in the irradiated brain was examined to test how a single high dose radiation, similar to that used for intraoperative radiation therapy given to the normal cerebrum, can affect the vascular endothelium. After a burr hole trephination in the rat skull, the cerebral hemisphere was exposed to a single ...

OBJECTIVE To review our surgical experience in minimally invasive transcranial endoscope-assisted microsurgical treatment of intracranial aneurysms, using the supraorbital keyhole craniotomy. METHODS The supraorbital keyhole approach was performed through an eyebrow skin incision in 793 cases for treatment of 989 intracranial aneurysms. Of patients, 474 were operated on after subarachnoid hem...

OBJECTIVE Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is one of the most common types of intra-cranial hemorrhages usually associated with trauma. Surgical treatment is the treatment of choice and burr hole trephination (BHT) is widely performed. The recurrence rate in the patients with CSDH is 3.7-30%. This study investigated the risk factors associated with the recurrence of patients with CSDH who under...

occurs during this procedure the better. My incision is exactly that described by Elliot in extent. I find, however, if, when making it, I at first make an incision about one-third of an inch in length in the mid-line, and then insert the points of the closed scissors under the conjunctiva, it is extremely easy to undermine the conjunctiva to the extent required for the superficial portion of t...

Intracranial extradural collection may cause an increase in intracranial pressure, requiring rapid emergency treatment to reduce morbidity and mortality. We described an alternative CT-guided percutaneous access for extradural collection drainage. We report a case of a patient with previous craniectomy for meningioma ressection who presented to the Emergency Department with symptoms of intracra...

AIM To analyze the analysis of recurrence rates of single versus double burr holes in patients with subacute and chronic subdural hematomas. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study was a prospective randomized controlled trial on patients with subacute and chronic subdural hematomas. Collections with membranes or septae were excluded from the study. A written consent was taken from the patient or pati...

Objective: To demonstrate the effectiveness, possible complications, and difference of Burr-hole craniostomy surgical technique applied to patients diagnosed with chronic subdural hematoma from other techniques. Methods: The techniques postoperative clinical radiological details 36 who were operated on diagnosis in Neurosurgery Clinic Ordu University Training Research Hospital between 01.01.201...

This paper describes a simple approach to emergency burr hole evacuation of extra-axial intracranial haematoma that can be used in the uncommon situation when life saving specialist neurosurgical intervention is not available.
