Efficiency of spinal anesthesia versus general anesthesia for lumbar spinal surgery: a retrospective analysis of 544 patients. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have shown varying results in selected outcomes when directly comparing spinal anesthesia to general in lumbar surgery. Some studies have shown reduced surgical time, postoperative pain, time in the postanesthesia care unit ...

Cone beam computed tomographic myelography in horses with cervical vertebral compressive myelopathy
Abstract Background While computed tomographic (CT) myelography is increasingly available and has been evaluated in alive horses, objective criteria for diagnosing cervical vertebral compressive myelopathy (CVCM) are lacking. Objectives To establish morphometric dimensions of the cervical vertebral canal and spinal cords from horses with CVCM and ...

Intracranial dural arteriovenous fistula successfully treated by combined open-endovascular procedure [PDF]
Intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas constitute a rare though potentially devastating disease. Because the arterial (high-pressure) blood flow drains directly into the low-pressure venous system, there is a high risk of bleeding and associated ...

Lateral ventricular choroid plexus enlargement in patients with spontaneous intracranial hypotension
Abstract Objective This study aimed to evaluate the choroid plexus volume in patients with spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH), including the lateral, third, and fourth ventricles, and explore its potential relationship with clinical characteristics. Background SIH is caused by cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks. The choroid plexus is predominantly

Monro-Kellie 2.0: The dynamic vascular and venous pathophysiological components of intracranial pressure [PDF]
For 200 years, the ‘closed box’ analogy of intracranial pressure (ICP) has underpinned neurosurgery and neuro-critical care. Cushing conceptualised the Monro-Kellie doctrine stating that a change in blood, brain or CSF volume resulted in reciprocal ...

Post-Lumbar Puncture Chronic Intracranial Subdural Hematoma
Objective: To desribe a case of cranial subdural hematoma as an atypically sporadic and potentially devastating complication of a lumbar puncture mimicking post-dural puncture headache which may lead to delayed diagnosis. Method: This is a a case report
