BACKGROUND:This paper analyzed the cases of dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) with spinal dural arteriovenous fistula (SDAVF) in the diagnosis and treatment process.CASE PRESENTATION:One case involving dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) with spinal dural arteriovenous fistula (SDAVF) from the 306th Hospital of PLA was retrospectively analyzed. The patient consulted the doctor due to lower limb sensory and motor disorders while exhibiting symptoms of urinary dysfunction. A computed tomographic angiography (CTA) and cerebral angiography confirmed the diagnosis of dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF), necessitating surgical treatment. The patient was referred to our hospital for an magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and a spinal angiography to obtain a confirmed diagnosis for spinal arteriovenous fistula, after which they underwent surgical fistula resection. The invasive intracranial dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) resection proceeded smoothly but did not ease the patient's symptoms. However, postoperative symptoms were partially relieved by the lumbar open spinal dural arteriovenous fistula adminstration.CONCLUSIONS:Since not enough is understood about these two diseases, the rate of misdiagnosis is significantly increased. Early diagnosis and treatment of spinal dural arteriovenous fistula (SDAVF) can play a positive role during the recovery from neural function damage.

Objective To determine the clinical outcomes of a Meige syndrome patient undergoing deep brain stimulation (DBS) with domestic stimulator and bilateral different frequency stimulation program. Methods The clinical data of 1 patient with Meige syndrome undergoing bilateral globus pallidus internus (Gpi) DBS operation was analyzed retrospectively. The routine stimulation was performed 1 month after the operation and different frequency stimulation was administrated 3 months postoperatively. Burke-Fahn-Marsden dystonia rating scale (BFMDRS) was used to evaluate the clinical outcome. Results The symptoms of the patient were significantly improved by the stimulation 1 month after the operation. The BFMDRS declined from 22 to 6. Since the right electrode contacts were near the posterior limb of the internal capsule, the voltage of stimulation was low and the patient felt numb of left limbs. The effect was obtained by increasing the voltage of the left electrode. The symptoms recurred a little 3 months after the operation and the BFMDRS was recovered to 10. The different frequency stimulations in the left and right sides were administrated with decrease of the stimulation frequency in the right side. The stimulation voltage in the right side was increased to improve the symptoms and in the left side was decreased in order to reduce the power consumption. The numb of left limbs disappeared and the symptoms further improved. BFMDRS was decreased to 4. Conclusions DBS with domestic stimulator at bilateral Gpi is satisfactory for the treatment ofMeige syndrome and different frequency stimulations in the left and right sides can decrease the side effect and increase the treatment effect further.

Objective To observe the seizure control and the effect on cognitive and memory function of hippocampal transection in intractable medial temporal epilepsy patients.Methods Eight cases of hippocampal transection and 10 cases of anterior temporal lobectomy were selected in which were all performed by the same operator.All the patients' basic information(including age,gender,seizure time and so on),preoperative examination(head magnetic resonance imaging,video electroencephalogram),seizure control and neuropsychological examinations (including VIQ:verbal intelligence quotient,PIQ:performance intelligence quotient,FIQ:full intelligence quotient and memory quotient) before and after the operation were collected and analyzed.Results The basic information and preoperative examinations have no significant difference in two groups.The seizure control were all high than 80% in two groups and there is also no significant difference.All the neuropsychological examinations' scores before operation have no significant difference compared with the that of two weeks after operation in the hippocampal transection group (P>0.05).However,in the anterior temporal lobectomy group,all scores were significantly declined (P<0.05).According to the span D-value of the scores before and after operation,the decline of MQ was found with significant difference in two groups (P<0.05).Conclusion In the meanwhile of seizure control,hippocampal transection will not cause significant damage of intelligence and memory function.Compared with anterior temporal lobectomy,th-e memory function can be preserved well after hippocampal transection.So it is a good surgical approach for intractable medial temporal epilepsy.
Objectives: To investigate the key surgical points in treating split cord malformations associated with osseous divide and scoliosis (SCM-OD-S). Materials and methods: The surgical options and methods of a total of 142 SCM-OD-S cases were retrospectively analyzed, and the surgical precautions and imaging diagnosis were also discussed. Results: The 142 patients were performed osseous divide resection plus dural sac molding, which achieved good results and no serious complication such as spinal cord and nerve injury occurred; certain symptoms such as urination-defecation disorders, muscle strength subsidence, Pes Cavus, and toe movement disorder in partial patients achieved various degrees of relief, and it also created good conditions for next-step treatment against scoliosis. Conclusions: The diagnosis of SCM-OD mainly depended on imaging inspection, routine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) combined with computed tomography (CT) 3D reconstruction, which can comprehensively evaluate the types and features of diastematomyelia as well as other concomitant diseases. SCM alone needed no treatment, but surgery will be the only means of treating SCM-OD. Intraoperatively removing osseous divide step-by-step, as well as carefully freeing the spinal cord and remodeling the dural sac, can lay good foundations for relieving tethered cord, improving neurological symptoms, and further scoliosis orthomorphia, thus particularly exhibiting importance for the growth and development of adolescents.

Objective To verify the effectiveness and safety of domestic neurosurgery medical robot Remebot for the treatment of hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage (HCH). Methods Clinical data of 3 HCH patients were analyzed retrospectively. Hematoma evacuation and tube drainage with Remebot frameless stereotaxy were performed in all the patients, and urokinase was injected into hematoma after the operation. Two drainage tubes were implanted in 1 patient and 1 drainage tube in 2. Results Hematoma disappeared in 2 patients and significantly reduced in 1 after 2 days of drainage. During a follow-up period of 1 to 2 years, the muscle strength was recovered to grade 4 in 1 patient and grade 5 in 1. While 1 patient was found to have repeated hemorrhage and diagnosed with thrombasthenia, then, platelets were transfused to stop bleeding, and craniotomy was performed for 4 times in this patient and the muscle strength of the left limb was grade 0. Conclusions The domestic neurosurgery medical robot Remebot is minimal invasive and high positional accuracy, and surgical planning can be made according to the shape of hematoma. It must be suitable for hematoma evacuation and tube drainage in HCH patients. For the patient with less hematoma but severe functional disability, hematoma evacuation should be performed as early as possible functional recovery.
Objective To compare the surgical outcome and its influences on cognition and memory of hippocampal transection and selective amygdalohippocampectomy for intractable medial temporal lobe epilepsy. Methods Clinical data of 19 patients with intractable medial temporal lobe epilepsy were analyzed retrospectively, including 8 patients receiving hippocampal transection (observation group) and 11 receiving selective amygdalohippocampectomy (control group). The seizure control rate after surgery and neuropsychological examinations before and after surgery were analyzed and compared. Results There was no significant difference in seizure control rates between two groups (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in performance intelligence quotient (PIQ), verbal intelligence quotient (VIQ), full intelligence quotient (FIQ) and memory quotient (MQ) before and after surgery in observation group (P>0.05). The PIQ, FIQ and MQ after surgery in control group were obviously lower than those before surgery (P<0.05). There was significant difference in MQ differentials before and after surgery between the two groups (P<0.05). Conclusion Hippocampal transection can effectively control seizure, make little damage to the function of neuropsychology and especially can well preserve the memory function.
Objective To verify the effectiveness and safety of domestic neurosurgery medical robot Remebot for the biopsy of intracranial lesions.Methods Thirteen patients with intracranial lesions having comparatively difficulty in diagnosis in our hospital from January 2016 to May 2016 were randomly selected to robot operation group (n=6) and frame stereotactic group (n=7).In the robot operation group,four marks were pasted to the patient's head for the stereotaxy without frame,while in the frame stereotactic group,the frame should be fixed to the patient's head for the operation.The targets were set at the central of the lesions and the biopsies were performed through targets to the whole lesions.The specimens were sent for pathologic examinations with immunohistochemical staining.Results The confirmed diagnostic rate of robot operation group was 6/6:glioblastoma multiforme in 3,oligodendroglioma in one,non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in one and focal cortical dysplasia in one;the confirmed diagnostic rate of the frame stereotactic group was 6/7:glioblastoma multiforme in 2,grade Ⅱ-Ⅲ astrocytoma in 2,follicular thyroid carcinoma in one and cerebellum ganglion glioma in one,and the one without confirmed diagnosis was intracranial multiple cystic lesion.The positional accuracy in the robot operation group was 1.48±0.62 (accuracy error:0.66-2.47 mm) and that in the frame stereotactic group was 1.06±0.49 (accuracy error:0.50 mm-l.90 mm).Conclusions The domestic neurosuregery medical robot Remebot is characteristic by minimal invasive and high positional accuracy.It is quite suitable for frameless stereotactic intracranial lesion biopsy.The surgical planning could be made according to the shape of lesions and the positional accuracy is reached to the requirement of biopsy.Since the procedure of operation could be performed without fixing the frame on patients' head,the pain and fear of patients are reduced in a great deal and the operation is quite easy to be performed.Thus,it's more suitable for the biopsy ofintracranial lesions.
Objective To evaluate the surgical procedure and clinical value for hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (HICH) with frameless stereotactic Technique.Methods 17 cases of HICH were treated with frameless Stereotactic instrument and using minimal invasive puncture needle to smash and drain the hematoma.Treatment outcome,mortality rate as well as long-term prognosis (ADL score) were analyzed retrospectively.Results Using frameless Stereotactic instrument can accurately guide the completion of intracerebral hemorrhage puncture and no mortality during the follow-up period.The average drainage time was 3.4 days.The head CT scans before the needle extraction suggested hematoma clearance range was about 70% ~900 with the space occupying effect significantly reduced.The neural function and long-term quality of life were improved after 3 month post surgery.Conclusion Frameless stereotactic hematoma aspiration is a timely,safety and effective treatment method that can be well applied to some HICH patients,getting a better improving of nerve function better and prognosis.Especially,it could be recommended for patients with advanced age or deep bleeding site that are not suitable for craniotomy,expanding the range of indications for surgery.
Objective The surgery and therapy of diastematomyelia with osseous divide and scoliosis were discussed.Methods Surgical choice,operative methods,the direction to the surgery and imaging diagnosis of 142 cases of diastematomyelia patients with osseous divide and scoliosis were reviewed.Results All patients achieved a satisfactory result by osseous divide resection and lumbosacral dural sac plasty,which provided a good basis for the further scoliosis instrmentation.Primary nerve damage symptoms were lightened or eliminated in some patients.Conclusion Before surgical instrumentation,all scoliosis patients should be performed spinal X-ray,CT and MRI examination to detect the diastematomyelia and osseous divide.The combination of CT and MRI imaging can be helpful for determining the types of diastematomelia and associated malformation,and can provide more diagnostic value for operation.Sole diastematomyelia does not need any treatment.Patients with diastematomyelia and osseous divide should accept osseous divide resection and lumbosacral dural sac plasty before spinal instmmentation operation,which is very important for young patients in period of growth.
