Augmented reality–assisted ventriculostomy [PDF]

Neurosurgical Focus, 2021
OBJECTIVE Placement of a ventricular drain is one of the most common neurosurgical procedures. However, a higher rate of successful placements with this freehand procedure is desirable. The authors’ objective was to develop a compact navigational augmented reality (AR)–based tool that does not require rigid ...

From Sound to Silence: Cerebellar Abscesses and Herniation Due to Cochlear Implant Infection With <i>Escherichia coli</i> and <i>Bacteroides fragilis</i>. [PDF]

Case Rep Infect Dis
Cochlear implantation (CI) is a safe and well‐established intervention for sensorineural hearing loss, with a low incidence of severe postoperative infections. We present the first reported case of cerebellar abscess and herniation due to CI infection. This unique case involves a 57‐year‐old man with recurrent cochlear implant infections, necessitating

Failure of Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy

Cureus, 2022
Endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) is an alternative to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunting in the treatment of hydrocephalus. Careful patient selection is critical as patient age, etiology of hydrocephalus, and previous shunting have been shown to ...

Obstruction caused by suprasellar cisterna arachnoid cyst expansion after ventriculoperitoneal shunt in children with hydrocephalus. [PDF]

Pediatr Investig
This article focuses on four cases of hydrocephalus after ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt in our center from 2016 to 2021. Imaging follow‐up showed that the secondary suprasellar cisterna arachnoid cyst was enlarged and then formed obstructive hydrocephalus. The clinical symptoms were relieved after a suprasellar cisterna cyst stomy.

Tunneled antibiotic-impregnated vs. bolt-connected, non-coated external ventricular drainage: a comparison of complications

Frontiers in Neurology, 2023
BackgroundExternal ventricular drainage (EVD) is a common emergency neurosurgical procedure, but it is not free of adverse events. The aim of this study is to compare the complication rate of two frequently used EVD types, namely, tunneled antibiotic ...

Ventriculostomy

, 2023
In neurosurgery, especially in pediatrics, the practice of ventriculostomy or placement of an external ventricular drainage (EVD) is a routine procedure. It consists of the implantation of a catheter in the ventricular system of the brain to temporarily divert cerebrospinal fluid or to measure the intracranial pressure.
