Use of 5-aminolevulinic acid for visualization and resection of a benign pediatric brain tumor.

30 Oct 2009 5-Aminolevulinic acid has been used successfully to facilitate resection of adult malignant gliomas. The authors report their experience in the treatment of a 9-year-old girl who underwent fluorescence-guided resection of a right temporal lobe ... Read more...

Cervicogenic headache: an assessment of the evidence on clinical diagnosis, invasive tests, and treatment.

29 Sep 2009 Cervicogenic headache is characterised by pain referred to the head from the cervical spine. Although the International Headache Society recognises this type of headache as a distinct disorder, some clinicians remain sceptical. Laboratory and ... Read more...

Sensitivity of high-resolution three-dimensional magnetic resonance angiography and three-dimensional spoiled-gradient recalled imaging in the prediction of neurovascular compression in patients with hemifacial spasm.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECT: Hemifacial spasm is a clinical syndrome caused by vascular compression of the facial nerve in the cerebellopontine angle, which can be relieved by surgical intervention. Advances in medical imaging technology allow for direct visualization ... Read more...
