BACKROUND: Although the operative corridor used during the intraparietal transsulcal approach to the atrium has been previously investigated, most anatomical studies focus on its relationship to the optic radiations. OBJECTIVE: To study... more
Cognitive impairment, a common finding with the brain tumors, may result from the tumor itself or the treatment used: surgery, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy. Surgery for brain tumors improves the cognitive function due to reduction of... more
First-generation oncolytic viruses were inherently cancer-selective in wild-type form, for example, reovirus and the vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), whereas the second generation of virotherapy is composed of molecularly engineered... more
Tumor yang terbentuk di meninges (selaput pelindung otak dan tulang belakang). Tumor ini biasanya terjadi di otak, namun juga bisa tumbuh di tulang belakang. Meningioma merupakan tumor jinak intrakranial tersering dengan estimasi 13-26%... more
This comprehensive review provides information on epidemiology, size, grade, cerebral localization, clinical symptoms, treatments, and factors associated with longer survival in 14,599 patients with brain metastasis from breast cancer;... more
Neuronavigation provides intraoperative precision to the surgeon, gives a well planned and precise surgical approach to the targeted lesion and as well illustrates the surrounding neurovascular anatomy. The incorporation of functional... more
Despite considerable progress in treatment modalities for glioblastomas (stage 4 gliomas), the most common type of brain tumor, the outcome remains dismal as traditional chemotherapies and radiotherapies are limited due to their side... more
BACKGROUND:: IntraDural ExtraMedullary Tumors (IDEMTs) are uncommon lesions that cause pain and neurological deficits. OBJECTIVE:: To evaluate the effects of surgery for IDEMTs. METHODS:: Cohort study recruiting all patients operated... more
A b s t r a c t Angiocentric glioma (AG) is a newly-classified, very rare, WHO grade I central nervous system (CNS) lesion, occurring usually in children and young adults. Only 52 patients with AG have been reported so far, making it one... more
This paper describes the unusual occurrence of a cerebellar haemangioblastoma in a patient with NF 2.
This is to highlight this phenomenon and hopefully hear from others with similar experience.
