The clipping of a middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysm is a delicate microsurgical procedure aimed at isolating the aneurysm from the arterial circulation while preserving blood flow through the parent artery and its branches. The MCA is one of the major arteries supplying blood

Postei e prescrevi profilaxia já no início. Tive que aguentar infectologistas dizendo que segundo o Manual do Ministério da Saúde, era contraindicado. Busquei estudos (raros obviamente) de casos de profilaxia em enchentes e tinham resultados positivos sim. Alguns colegas não tem
Vestibular schwannomas, also known as acoustic neuromas, are benign tumors that arise from the Schwann cells of the vestibular nerve, which is part of the eighth cranial nerve complex (vestibulocochlear nerve). These tumors are typically slow-growing and can cause a variety of
A temporal hematoma refers to a collection of blood within the temporal region of the skull, which can be either within the brain tissue (intracerebral hematoma) or in the potential spaces surrounding the brain (extracerebral hematomas, such as epidural or subdural hematomas).
Interesting case:
Calcified chronic subdural hematomas are uncommon, accounting for only 0.3-2.7% of chronic subdural hematomas.
Clinical presentation varies significantly, with some patients being asymptomatic.
The interval period between acute bleed and calcification varies
Patients suffering from a lumbar herniated disc will typically present with signs and symptoms consistent with radiculopathy. They may also have low-back pain, however, and the source of this pain is less certain, as it may be from the degenerative process that led to the
Today’s case:
Discectomy
A discectomy is carried out to release the pressure on your spinal nerves caused by a bulging or slipped disc.
As with a laminectomy, the surgeon will make an incision over the affected area of your spine down to the lamina.
The surgeon will gently pull
When the sagittal view don’t show us how severe is the stenosis. It’s necessary to evaluate the axial view that is indispensable for an accurate and complete diagnosis of conditions affecting the lumbar spine, providing crucial information that complements sagittal and coronal

The first one has the vertebral forame wider than the second, in this case, the second one has more chances to develop stenosis. Sometimes it occur in a longiline person and there are reports in Marfan’s syndrome.
Burst fracture:
A burst fracture is a type of spinal injury where a vertebra is severely compressed, leading to fragments of the bone spreading out in different directions. This usually results from high-energy trauma such as a car accident or a fall from a significant height.

Chronic subdural hematomas generally occur in the elderly, with the average age being ≈ 63 years. Head trauma is identified in <50%(sometimes rather trivial trauma can produce these lesions). Other risk factors: alcohol abuse, seizures, CSF shunts, coagulopathies (including
The identification of specific molecular subtypes of glioblastoma, each with unique biomarker profiles, is beginning to inform individual genomic-based treatment decisions in an attempt to optimize both survival and quality of life.
Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) is a pathological condition resulting from chronic compression of the cervical spinal cord due to degenerative changes in the cervical spine. These changes include the formation of osteophytes, hypertrophy of the ligamentum flavum, spinal

Se há uma coisa que se recusa a apodrecer com a passagem do tempo, é a integridade. Só porque o mundo parece ter perdido o juízo, não significa que você deve fazer o mesmo. Jamais sacrifique a essência que te define.
Pituitary tumors, also known as pituitary adenomas, are benign neoplasms that arise from the adenohypophyseal cells of the pituitary gland. They are classified based on size into microadenomas (<10 mm in diameter) and macroadenomas (≥10 mm in diameter), and functionally into
A meningioma is a type of tumor that arises from the meninges, the membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord. They are usually benign and slow-growing, but they can cause symptoms depending on their size and location. Treatment options include observation, surgery,
