RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Transsulcal tubular retractor-assisted minimally invasive parafascicular surgery changes the surgical strategy for deep-seated lesions by promoting a deficit-sparing approach. When integrated with preoperative brain mapping and intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM), this approach may potentially improve patient outcomes. In this study, we assessed the impact of preoperative brain mapping and IONM in tubular retractor-assisted neuro-oncological surgery. METHODS: This retrospective single-center cohort study included patients who underwent transsulcal tubular retractor-assisted minimally invasive parafascicular surgery for resection of deep-seated brain tumors from 2016 to 2022. The cohort was divided into 3 groups: group 1, no preoperative mapping or IONM (17 patients); group 2, IONM only (25 patients); group 3, both preoperative mapping and IONM (38 patients). RESULTS: We analyzed 80 patients (33 males and 47 females) with a median age of 46.5 years (range: 1-81 years). There was no significant difference in mean tumor volume (26.2 cm3 [range 1.07-97.4 cm3]; P = 0.740) and mean preoperative depth of the tumor (31 mm [range 3-65 mm], P = 0.449) between the groups. A higher proportion of high-grade gliomas and metastases was present within group 3 (P = 0.003). IONM was related to fewer motor (P = 0.041) and language (P = 0.032) deficits at hospital discharge. Preoperative mapping and IONM were also related to shorter length of stay (P = 0.008). CONCLUSIONS: Preoperative and intraoperative brain mapping and monitoring enhance transsulcal tubular retractor-assisted minimally invasive parafascicular surgery in neuro-oncology. Patients had a reduced length of stay and prolonged overall survival. IONM alone reduces postoperative neurological deficit.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: We report what we believe is the first application of robotically constrained image-guided surgery to approach a fistulous micro-arteriovenous malformation in a highly eloquent location. Drawing on institutional experience with a supervisory-control robotic system, a series of steps were devised to deliver a tubular retractor system to a deeply situated micro-arteriovenous malformation. The surgical footprint of this procedure was minimised along with the neurological morbidity. We hope that our contribution will be of assistance to others in integrating such systems given a similar clinical problem. CLINICAL PRESENTATION: A right-handed 9-year old girl presented to her local emergency department after a sudden onset of severe headache accompanied by vomiting. An intracranial haemorrhage centred in the right centrum semiovale with intraventricular extension was evident and she was transferred urgently to the regional paediatric neurosurgical centre, where an external ventricular drain (EVD) was sited. A digital subtraction angiogram demonstrated a small right hemispheric arteriovenous shunt irrigated by peripheral branches of the middle cerebral artery & a robotically facilitated parafasicular microsurgical approach was performed to disconnect the arteriovenous malformation. CONCLUSION: We describe the successful microsurgical in-situ disconnection of a deeply-situated, fistulous micro-AVM via a port system itself delivered directly to the target with a supervisory-control robotic system. This minimised the surgical disturbance along a relatively long white matter trajectory and demonstrates the feasibility of this approach for deeply located arteriovenous fistulae or fistulous AVMs.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a common finding following traumatic brain injury. In some cases, it can be associated with hydrocephalus. This type of hemorrhage is mostly caused by the rupture of small vessels in the brain and is usually managed conservatively. CASE DESCRIPTION: We present a case of a 60-year-old woman who presented with traumatic luxation of the eye following a fall. This resulted in diffuse SAH (Fisher grade IV) with associated hydrocephalus. We also report on 3 previous similar cases found in the literature. Avulsion of the ophthalmic artery was found to be the cause of the traumatic SAH. Apart from cerebrospinal fluid diversion using an external ventricular drain, the case was managed conservatively. There was no evidence of delayed clinical or radiologic vasospasm. CONCLUSIONS: Traumatic avulsion of the ophthalmic artery may result in diffuse SAH, mimicking that of aneurysmal rupture. This case shows that management of early complications, such as hydrocephalus and seizures, should be the main aim. Surgical or endovascular treatment of the injured artery, however, would be unnecessary.
