..Existing in vitro studies focused on embryonic cell lines and embryonic CSF. We therefore studied the effects of adult human leptomeningeal CSF on the behaviour of adult human NSCs (ahNSCs)...

..This article describes our endoscopic techniques developed for the treatment of various obstructions of cerebrospinal fluid pathways...

....

..The purpose of this study was to determine the value of endoscopic assistance in the microsurgical resection of these lesions, in which total removal is the therapy of choice...

..Endoscopic aqueductoplasty is an option in the treatment of obstructive hydrocephalus caused by aqueductal stenoses. We report on our experience with this endoscopic technique, focussing on indications, operative technique, and results...

..This study was undertaken to determine the complication rate in intracranial endoscopic neurosurgery...

..HD imaging provides a much better image quality compared to SD imaging. Therefore, we recommend use of HD cameras in neuroendoscopic procedures...

..The ventriculoscope can be used in both adults and children. Because of its diameter, it is not designed for the endoscopic treatment of newborns...

..Endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) for the treatment of hydrocephalus of different etiologies is still controversial in children younger than 2 years of age. The success rate of ETV in this group of patients is analyzed in this study...

..Surgical treatment of arachnoid cysts remains under debate. Although many authors favor endoscopic techniques, others attribute a higher recurrence rate to the endoscope...

..However, performing an ETV with a blurred field of vision and distorted ventricular anatomy is a challenge for any endoscopic neurosurgeon and should be reserved for experienced neuroendoscopists...

..In this study, the authors report on their experience with 134 consecutive endoscopy procedures performed in 126 patients<18 years of age...

..To our knowledge, this is the first report regarding using endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) in patients with an occlusive hydrocephalus caused by cerebellar ischemic stroke. We report our experience of 10 reviewed cases...

..The purpose of this prospective investigation was to determine the rate of complications associated with endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV)...

..This article describes our endoscopic technique as developed for the removal of colloid cysts located in the third ventricle...

..In order to assess their late benefits we present the long-term results of a comparison of treating cubital tunnel syndrome with anterior submuscular transposition or simple decompression...

..Although endoscopic perforation of the septum pellucidum in obstruction of the foramen of Monro is well known, detailed reports on endoscopic septostomy, including surgical technique and results are lacking in the literature...

..Intrameatal AICA aneurysms may present with symptoms similar to vestibular schwannomas. End-to-end reanastomosis after aneurysm resection is a treatment option when clipping is impossible...

..In symptomatic extraventricular arachnoid cysts, fenestration into the basal cisterns is the gold standard. If this is not feasible, shunt placement is frequently performed although another endoscopic option is available...

..After surgery, the patient made a rapid recovery. In this case, the authors presume a sudden intraaqueductal dislocation of the ependymoma caused by aspiration of the tumor as a result of the caudal CSF flow...

..The aim of the present study was to use perfusion CT and CT angiography (CTA) to evaluate cerebral hemodynamics and bypass patency in patients with occlusive cerebrovascular disease before and after EC-IC bypass surgery...

..The present findings support a two-levels-of-learning account of human fear conditioning and also demonstrate that the amygdala is crucially involved in fear learning...

..Peripheral nerve palsy caused by torsional nerve injury is rare. Only a few patients have been reported in the literature. The etiology of this type of nerve lesion is poorly understood...

..Furthermore, the doxorubicin-associated increase in levels of multiple forms of keratins 8, 18, and 19 and other structural proteins revealed an influence on the cytoskeleton network...

..In this study, the authors present 94 endoscopic carpal tunnel surgery cases with long-term follow-up data...

..Disadvantages are thought to be the impossibility of a direct median nerve neurolysis and a higher surgical complication rate, including injury to the median nerve...

..The occurrence of an intraneural ganglion cyst at the hypoglossal nerve is very rare. This case exemplifies an atypical location of a synovial cyst with cranial nerve involvement...

..At the 6-month follow-up after surgery, the patient had significantly progressed in his psychomotor development. One year postsurgery the patient is doing fine, with no neurological or developmental deficits...

..The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of epileptic discharges and epileptic seizures in epilepsy patients anesthetized with propofol...

..The incidence of traumatic craniocervical artery dissection varies in published trauma series...

..In the present study the authors investigate these parameters in a comparison between waterjet dissection and ultrasonic aspiration in the rabbit brain in vivo...
