What is hemifacial spasm? Hemifacial spasm is a neurological movement disorder characterized by involuntary contractions of the muscles on one side of the face. These spasms occur due to abnormal activity of the facial nerve (the seventh cranial nerve), which controls facial expression. The condition often begins subtly, usually with intermittent twitching around the eye. […]

What is trigeminal neuralgia? Trigeminal neuralgia is a chronic neurological pain disorder affecting the trigeminal nerve, which provides sensation to the face. The condition is characterized by sudden, severe episodes of facial pain, often described as electric shock–like, stabbing, or sharp. Pain typically affects one side of the face and lasts from a few seconds […]

What is Multiple Sclerosis? Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease of the central nervous system that affects the brain and spinal cord. In MS, the immune system mistakenly attacks the protective covering of nerve fibers (myelin), disrupting communication between the brain and the rest of the body. Over time, this process can lead […]

What is Neurofibromatosis Type 2? Neurofibromatosis Type 2 (NF2) is a rare genetic neurological disorder characterized by the development of multiple tumors of the nervous system, most commonly affecting the brain and spinal cord. These tumors are usually benign, but they can cause significant neurological symptoms due to their location and growth. The hallmark feature […]

What is a brain tumor? A brain tumor is a group of cells that grow abnormally in the brain or nearby areas. Tumors can be benign, meaning not cancer, or malignant, meaning cancer. Even non-cancerous tumors can cause problems because the skull is a closed space, so any growth can press on brain tissue, nerves, […]

A Review of Drug Therapy in Vestibular Schwannoma Оригінальна стаття:  A Review of Drug Therapy in Vestibular Schwannoma Abstract: Vestibular schwannomas (VSs, also known as acoustic neuromas) are benign intracranial tumors commonly managed with observation, surgery, and radiotherapy. There is currently no approved pharmacotherapy for VS patients, which is why we conducted a detailed search […]

Original article: LONG-TERM QUALITY OF LIFE IN PATIENTS WITH VESTIBULAR SCHWANNOMA  OBJECT The optimal treatment for sporadic vestibular schwannoma (VS) is highly controversial. To date, the majority of studies comparing treatment modalities have focused on a narrow scope of technical outcomes including facial function, hearing status, and tumor control. Very few publications have investigated health-related […]

Abstract Intracranial epidermoid tumors are challenging lesions because they grow along the subarachnoid spaces around delicate neurovascular structures and often extend from one compartment to another. The purpose of this study was to determine the usefulness of endoscopic assistance in the microsurgical resection of these lesions, in which total resection is therapy of choice. Methods: […]

Object Intracranial hemangiopericytomas are frequently located along the dural sinuses along the skull base and represent rare, aggressive CNS neoplasms that are difficult to distinguish from meningiomas based on both imaging and gross characteristics. The authors of this study describe 3 patients with these lesions and review the pertinent literature. Methods Two men and 1 […]

OBJECTIVE Solitary fibrous tumor/hemangiopericytoma (SFT/HPC) is a new combined entity for which a soft-tissue–type grading system, ranging from grades I to III, has been introduced in the 2016 WHO classification of tumors of the CNS. The results of the treatment of this new disease entity require evaluation. METHODS The authors retrospectively reevaluated the pathological findings […]
