Surgery of arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is sometimes challenging and carries a high risk of morbidity, especially when the AVM is located in an eloquent area of the brain. Unlike gliomas, awake craniotomy has not been widely used for resection of AVM.

Role of Clinical Neuropsychologists in Awake-Craniotomy
Background: Awake craniotomy encompasses surgical resection of focal zone of neurological impairment, using intraoperative functional zone mapping. The strength of the procedure is maximum retention of functionally significant zones to ensure better function and quality of life outcomes in patients. A clinical neuropsychologist

Managing hydrocephalus in patients with leptomeningeal disease: A multicenter retrospective analysis
What's New? Leptomeningeal disease is a highly palliative condition of tumor cell seeding that can cause symptomatic hydrocephalus. This multi‐center retrospective study of patients with leptomeningeal disease‐associated hydrocephalus compared the placement of ventriculoperitoneal shunts and Rickham reservoirs for cerebrospinal fluid drainage.

Awake craniotomy for tumour resection: The safety and feasibility of a simple technique
Introduction: Awake craniotomy is widely used for surgery in eloquent brain in order to facilitate maximal safe resection of brain tumours. There has been huge progress in both surgical and anaesthetic techniques used during awake craniotomy.

Training and professional development programmes for surgeons, anaesthetists, obstetricians and perioperative nurses in low‐resource settings are often constrained by lack of access to appropriate training materials. The United Nations Global Surgery Learning Hub (SURGhub) was launched on 28th June 2023 to address this need. SURGhub has enrolled 11,451

A Case Report and Overview of Familial Cerebral Cavernous Malformation Pathogenesis in an Adult Patient [PDF]
OBJECTIVE We present a case of a 39 year-old woman who presented with a solitary cavernous malformation hemorrhage without any other lesions, and subsequently presented several months later with a new hemorrhage from a de novo lesion.

Awake Craniotomy for Left Insular Low-Grade Glioma Removal on a Patient with Learning Disabilities
Introduction Low-grade gliomas (LGG) are slow-growing primary brain tumors in adults, with high tropism for eloquent areas. Standard approach in treatment of LGG is awake craniotomy with intraoperative cortical mapping — a method which is usually used on

Parallel transmit 7T MRI for adult epilepsy pre‐surgical evaluation
Abstract Objective To implement parallel transmit (pTx) 7T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the pre‐surgical evaluation of 3T‐negative patients with drug‐resistant focal epilepsy, and to compare quality to conventional single transmit (specifically, circularly polarized [CP]) 7T MRI.

Patient anxiety and conscious surgery [PDF]
The amount of surgery undertaken on the conscious patient is increasing. However, many patients are anxious and resistant to such surgery. Patients (n=214) were surveyed to determine their related apprehensions.
