A single-center prospective study of 21 MMD patients evaluating functional, neuropsychological, and radiological outcomes before and after revascularization surgery. Post-surgery results showed significant improvement in functional and neuropsychological status, corroborated by MRI perfusion and cerebral angiography findings.

A radiological morphometric study characterizing bony skull base landmarks relevant to endoscopic endonasal approaches. The study provides CT-based measurements to assist surgeons in preoperative planning and to reduce complications such as internal carotid artery injury during endoscopic skull base surgery.

A PRISMA-compliant meta-analysis of four databases assessing the effectiveness of topical and intraventricular antibiotics in preventing ventriculoperitoneal shunt infections. The shunt infection rate was significantly lower in the antibiotic group (2.24%) versus controls (5.24%), with subgroup analysis showing no significant difference between individual antibiotic agents.

A 2-dimensional operative video article demonstrating the surgical nuances of the modified Dolenc-Kawase anterior petrous rhomboid approach for resection of a giant multicompartmental craniopharyngioma. The case highlights key anatomical considerations and technical steps for accessing complex petroclival tumors with multi-fossa extension.

A report of second-trimester prenatal diagnosis of Crouzon syndrome using binocular and interorbital diameter measurements combined with family history. This early prenatal identification provides families the option of informed decision-making and enables optimal multidisciplinary postnatal management planning.
