Retrospective Case Review: Application of FLOW 800 ICG Videoangiography Color Maps for Neurovascular Surgery and Intraoperative Decision Making
Indocyanine Green (ICG) videoangiography can assess cerebral bloodflow, but results are primarily qualitative. FLOW 800 software measures fluorescence dynamics and creates a semiquantitative color delay map for assessment of relative sequence of bloodflow within the vasculature. (Source: World Neurosurgery)

Navigated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation In A Patient With A Cranioplasty In Situ: A Safe And Accurate Procedure
and importance: Navigated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (nTMS) is a non-surgical mapping technique used in mapping of motor and language eloquent areas within and / or surrounding brain tumours. Previous reports support this as a safe technique with minor side effects associated with minor headaches and discomfort around the stimulation area. Currently there are no published reports concerning the accuracy and safety of this procedure in patients with a titanium cranioplasty in situ. (Source: World Neurosurgery)

Chiari 1 Malformation surgery: comparing non-violation of the arachnoid versus the arachnoid opening and thermocoagulation of the tonsils
There is a lack of evidence concerning the myriad of surgical techniques for type 1 Chiari malformation (CM 1). The present study evaluated the impact of arachnoid violation with tonsils thermocoagulation during surgical craniovertebral junction (CVJ) decompression. (Source: World Neurosurgery)

Combined lateral transpsoas anterior column realignment with pedicle subtraction osteotomy to treat severe sagittal plane deformity: Cadaveric feasibility study and early clinical experience
Traditional open approaches to correct lumbar spine deformities include 3-column osteotomies, such as a pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO). Minimally invasive surgical (MIS) techniques have been developed for lateral transpsoas anterior column realignment (ACR). These 2 techniques have not previously been combined. Our objective was to investigate the cadaveric feasibility of a combined hybrid MIS ACR-PSO technique for deformity correction and review early clinical experience. (Source: World Neurosurgery)

Hemiparesis without responsible hematomas in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage undergoing early aneurysmal repair
The presence of hemiparesis on arrival in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is presumed to affect their prognosis, and intracranial hematomas with a mass effect responsible for the hemiparesis are frequently observed in these patients. The purpose of this study was to clarify the characteristics and outcomes of patients who presented with hemiparesis on arrival and showed no responsible hematomas (hemiparesis w/o hematoma) having a mass effect on computed tomography.
