- Entrapped temporal horn syndrome: a retrospective analysis of 5 case
series
Authors: Zhuang; Yan; Richard, Seidu A.; Zhou, Jiahao; Liu, Jun; Fang, Zhen; Chen, Zejun
Abstract:
Introduction: Entrapped temporal horn (ETH) syndrome is a rare form of localized noncommunicating hydrocephalus, which is often associated with the treatment of lesions around the trigone area (atrium) of the lateral ventricles. So far, only a few cases have been reported in the literature. Thus, we present our experience with the causes and management of patients with ETH syndrome at our institution.Materials and method: We retrospectively analyzed clinical data of 5 patients with ETH syndrome treated at our facility from July 2018 to August 2021. Patients’ data such as age, sex, initial disease, clinical presentation, radiologic diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes were documented and analyzed.Results: Our patients comprise of 3 females and 2 males. Their ages ranged from 42 to 85 years, with a mean age of 62 years. Postoperative adhesions caused ETH in 3 patients while meningioma and intracranial infection cause the ETH in 2 patients, respectively. One patient was treated via craniotomy, 3 patients were treated via shunting while 1 patient was treated conservatively. The ETH resolved in 4 patients, while no resolution was attained in 1 patient.Conclusion: Definitive treatments via craniotomy or shunting were capable of resolving the ETHs, while conservative treatment did not result in spontaneous resolution. Unresected meningioma around the trigone of the lateral ventricle is capable of causing the ETH, contrary to the notion that, infection or postoperative adhesions are the key causes of ETH. Thus, neurosurgeons ought to be on a lookout for ETH when treating lesions around the trigone area of the lateral ventricles.

- The history and evolution of vestibular schwannoma surgery: a
comprehensive review
Authors: Gajic; Nikolai; Mohd Slim, Mohd Afiq; Kontorinis, Georgios
Abstract:
Vestibular schwannoma (VS) surgery has had a compelling historical evolution. This article aimed to provide a detailed narrative historical review of the chronological progression and conception of surgical VS management. Acknowledgment of the development, revision, and transformation of VS surgery over the decades facilitate a comprehensive understanding of current clinical practice and the scope for further procedural evolution. Following the commencement of VS surgery in the late 18th century, procedures and management have been perpetually revised and augmented, culminating in drastically improved surgical outcomes. This article draws upon the primary source material to provide augmented acuity into the principal pioneers and landmark cases that define the surgery’s trajectory. Moreover, the article includes original interpretive artwork by the first author along with a detailed timeline to facilitate enhanced perspicacity of this unique and salient constituent in surgical history.
