RESUMO
The aim of this paper is to provide a comprehensive overview of the MICCAI 2020 AutoImplant Challenge. The approaches and publications submitted and accepted within the challenge will be summarized and reported, highlighting common algorithmic trends and algorithmic diversity. Furthermore, the evaluation results will be presented, compared and discussed in regard to the challenge aim: seeking for low cost, fast and fully automated solutions for cranial implant design. Based on feedback from collaborating neurosurgeons, this paper concludes by stating open issues and post-challenge requirements for intra-operative use.

BACKGROUND: Acute subdural hematoma without subarachnoid hemorrhage or intraparenchymal hematoma is rare. CASE REPORT: We report on a 47-year-old women without previous trauma who presented with an acute subdural hematoma without subarachnoid hemorrhage. The hematoma was evacuated immediately. Further evaluation with a cerebral four-vessel angiography revealed a left-sided posterior communicating artery aneurysm that was occluded by endovascular embolization. The patient recovered without neurological deficit. CONCLUSIONS: Ruptured intracranial aneurysm should be considered as a cause of nontraumatic subdural hematoma. Immediate subdural hematoma removal after aneurysm coiling can be performed in such patients, even those in poor neurological condition.

PURPOSE: The aim of the study was to evaluate frequency and clinical relevance of haemorrhagic events associated with primary angiitis of the central nervous system in childhood (cPACNS), a rare but increasingly recognized disease with varying clinical presentations. METHOD: A systematic literature review from 1990 onwards was conducted to identify reported cases of cPACNS. RESULTS: A total of 110 paediatric patients met the inclusion criteria. The median age was 9.5 years. Seven children (7/110, 6.4 %) demonstrated cerebral haemorrhage. Death occurred only in children with cerebral haemorrhage (4/110, 3.6 %); both a sudden and prolonged course of disease was observed. CONCLUSION: PACNS is a rare disease and the occurrence of haemorrhage with this condition is even rarer; however, the risk of an unfavourable outcome under these circumstances seems to be increased. PACNS adds to the list of differential diagnoses of intracerebral haemorrhage in the paediatric population.

We report on an unusual case of Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) in a woman of normal weight. Papilledema and increased intracranial pressure are symptoms of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis or idiopathic intrancranial hypertension. Because of the different treatment strategies, it is important to keep these two diseases separate. We show that the use of different imaging methods is an important tool in obtaining an effective diagnosis.

OBJECT: Causes of pituitary insufficiencies as a side effect of Gamma Knife surgery (GKS) following irradiation of the hypothalamopituitary axis are still under debate. In an investigation of pituitary insufficiencies after GKS, the authors' main focus is on what role can be attributed to the hypothalamus with regard to endocrinological changes in hypothalamopituitary function following GKS. METHODS: A total of 108 patients consecutively treated between April 1992 and July 2003 were included in this retrospective study. All patients had undergone either transsphenoidal or transcranial surgery prior to GKS. The spot dosimetry method was used to determine doses delivered to structures of the hypothalamopituitary axis. For statistical analyses, endocrine insufficiency and deterioration in pituitary function were defined as a decrease in hormonal blood levels below the normal range for 1 or more anterior pituitary lobe hormones. Additionally, an analysis of the rate of patients requiring hormone replacement therapy after GKS due to new endocrinopathies was performed. RESULTS: Complete patient records of 61 male and 47 female patients with a mean age of 51.9 years (range 9.181.2 years) were available for our investigation. The overall tumor control rate was 97% and the endocrinological cure rate was 61.2%. Mean treatment doses in patients with and without new endocrine insufficiencies (shown as with/without insufficiencies and followed by probability values) were as follows: 1.3/0.8 Gy to the hypothalamus(p = 0.2); 2.2/1.6 Gy to the median eminence (p = 0.1); 6.5/4.1 Gy to the pituitary stalk (p = 0.004); and 12.4/9.5Gy to the pituitary gland (p = 0.05). The median overall duration of follow-up after GKS was 6.7 years, with 84 patients(77.7%) whose follow-up was longer than 12 months. The median follow-up time after GKS in patients who developed a new pituitary dysfunction was 79.5 months (6.6 years, SD 3.8 years), and the median follow-up time inpatients with no new insufficiencies was 78.4 months (6.5 years, SD 4 years). CONCLUSIONS: Gamma Knife surgery is a safe and effective treatment for patients with residual and recurrent pituitary adenomas. The rate of pituitary insufficiencies after GKS is still lower than that after conventional radiotherapy.Very low radiation doses are directed to the hypothalamus, and thus this structure does not play a major role in the development of pituitary insufficiencies after GKS. The results of this study show that patients in whom the pituitary stalk and pituitary gland receive a high mean point dose are more likely to develop pituitary insufficiencies after GKS than those who receive a lower dose.
