Safe handling of veins in the pineal region-a mixed method study

Markus E. Krogager et al.

Summary: Experienced neurosurgeons generally agree that sacrificing the vein of Galen, both internal cerebral veins, and basal veins carries a high risk of death during pineal surgery. Sacrificing both superior vermian veins and one internal occipital vein is perceived to carry a lower risk. Some experienced surgeons reported substantial risk and consequences associated with sacrificing cerebellar bridging veins.

What is the risk of venous cerebellar infarction in the supracerebellar infratentorial approach?

Martin Smrcka et al.

Summary: The study investigated the incidence of cerebellar venous infarction in the supracerebellar infratentorial approach, finding a risk rate of approximately 0.345%, which may actually be higher. Neurosurgeons should be aware of this potential complication when using this approach and can reduce the risk by preserving more bridging veins.

Fully automatic brain tumor segmentation for 3D evaluation in augmented reality

Tim Fick et al.

Summary: The authors developed an automatic segmentation algorithm for creating 3D models of anatomical structures from a single T1-weighted MR sequence, which was validated for brain tumors and compared with manual segmentation. The algorithm proved to be accurate and efficient in cloud-based automatic segmentation, showing potential for aiding neurosurgeons in clinical practice.
