        Stereoscopic virtual reality simulation for microsurgical excision of cerebral arteriovenous malformation: case illustrations.
        Surg Neurol. 2009 Jul;72(1):69-72; discussion 72-3
        Authors:  Wong GK, Zhu CX, Ahuja AT, Poon WS
        BACKGROUND: Use of virtual reality planning and rehearsal for planning and training of cerebral aneurysm clipping was recently reported. We aimed to illustrate its applications in preoperative planning and training for cerebral AVM excision. CASE DESCRIPTION: We illustrated the application of preoperative rehearsal for excision of cerebral AVM for 2 patients in a stereoscopic virtual reality environment. One patient was a 44-year-old lady with a right posterior temporal AVM, and 1 patient was a 23-year-old lady with a left frontal AVM. Through Dextroscope, an anatomical understanding of arterial feeders, nidus, and draining veins in relationship to surrounding cerebral cortex was obtained. It allowed one to see the exposure with the different angles of visualization, similar to what happened under the operative microscope. CONCLUSION: Dextroscopic virtual reality stimulation provided an illustrated preoperative planning and training for excision of cerebral AVM.

        Platelet-derived growth factor expression correlates with tumor grade and proliferative activity in human oligodendrogliomas.
        Surg Neurol. 2009 Jul;72(1):54-60
        Authors:  Majumdar K, Radotra BD, Vasishta RK, Pathak A
        BACKGROUND: For the last one and a half decade, it has been found that platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) promotes glial tumor growth through autocrine and paracrine loops, by expression of PDGFalpha receptor (PDGFRalpha) on glioma cells and PDGFbeta receptor (PDGFRbeta) on proliferating endothelial cells. However, studies on oligodendrogliomas, correlating expression of PDGF and its receptor with tumor grade and proliferative activity, through MIB-1 labeling index (LI) are relatively few as compared to astroglial counterpart. METHODS: Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues from 55 cases of oligodendrogliomas (34 World Health Organization [WHO] grade II and 21 WHO grade III tumors) were subjected to immunohistochemistry. MIB-1 LI was calculated, and a semiquantitative scoring system for expression of PDGF and PDGFRalpha was used. RESULTS: MIB-1 LI and PDGF expression increased with histologic grades of malignancy ("t" test, P &lt; .001 and Mann Whitney test, U = 109, P &lt; .001 respectively). The PDGF expression scores had a positive correlation with MIB-1 LI, irrespective of tumor grade (Pearson's correlation coefficient, r = 0.566; P &lt; .001). However, there was no significant difference of PDGFRalpha expression between 2 grades of tumors. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study showed that MIB-1 LI is a rapid and cost-effective modality for predicting tumor grade in oligodendrogliomas. Immunohistochemistry for PDGF was found to be useful in differentiating various grades of oligodendroglioma, and therefore, it may be involved in tumor cell proliferation and malignant transformation. Platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha, although expressed in oligodendroglial neoplasms, was not found to be useful in predicting tumor grade.

        BACKGROUND: The COL1A2 is located on chromosome 7q22.1, and mutations in this gene have been associated with the development of IAs. In this study, we investigated whether the rs42524 and rs2621215 polymorphisms of the COL1A2 gene are associated with the development of cerebral aneurysms in the Korean population. METHODS: This was a hospital-based case control study conducted at Chonnam University Hospital, Gwangju, Korea. The study population consisted of 320 patients who had been treated for IA and 189 healthy hospital-based controls (angiographically negative for an IA). Two polymorphic loci were amplified by polymerase chain reaction, namely, rs42524 in exon 28 and rs2621215 in intron 46 of the COL1A2 gene, and analyzed by RFLP using HhaI or BfaI restriction enzymes, respectively. RESULTS: The genotype frequencies of rs42524 in cases were 88.0%, 11.4%, and 0.6% for the GG, GC, and CC genotypes, respectively, and in controls were 88.9%, 10.0%, and 1.1%, respectively. Similarly, the genotype frequencies of rs2621515 in cases were 88.0%, 10.1%, and 0.2% for the TT, TG, and GG genotypes, respectively, and among controls were 92.1%, 7.9%, and 0%, respectively. CONCLUSION: The rs2621215 SNP in intron 46 of the COL1A2 gene was found to be marginally associated with an increased risk of IA development in the Korean population examined. In contrast, rs42524 showed no association with an increased risk of IA development.

        Clinical experience with Matrix2 360 degrees coils in the treatment of 100 intracranial aneurysms.
        Surg Neurol. 2009 Jul;72(1):41-7
        Authors:  D'Agostino SJ, Harrigan MR, Chalela JA, Nicholas JS, Deveikis SI, Jones TM, Deveikis JP
        BACKGROUND: The M2-360 degrees is a recent class of aneurysm coil. This device combines the second generation of bioactive copolymer coating, which is intended to promote aneurysm fibrosis, with the "360 degrees " design, which is meant to improve uniformity and density of packing. This study evaluates the safety and angiographic stability of these devices. METHODS: This was a retrospective review of 86 consecutive patients with 100 intracranial aneurysms that were treated using M2-360 degrees s. Follow-up was done at 6 and 12 months. RESULTS: Seventy-eight aneurysms were coiled solely with M2-360 degrees s, and 22 aneurysms were treated with a combination of coils. In mixed-coil cases, the average percentage of coil volume consisting of M2-360 degrees coils was 78%. Procedure-related neurologic complications occurred in 6 patients (7%). Initial complete occlusion was obtained in 80 aneurysms. Of 76 aneurysms with 6-month angiographic follow-up, 4 (5.3%) revealed further occlusion, 54 (71.1%) were unchanged, and 18 (23.7%) showed recanalization. Of 38 aneurysms with 12-month follow-up, 1 (2.6%) revealed further occlusion, 23 (60.5%) were unchanged, and 14 (36.8%) showed recanalization. Six- and 12-month angiograms showed major recanalization (requiring further coiling) in 3.9% and 15.8% of cases, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The risk of complications with M2-360 degrees -treated aneurysms is comparable with reports of other coils, indicating that M2-360 degrees s are relatively safe. Although the initial occlusion rate is higher than that in other coiling series, recanalization rates were similar to those obtained with other coil designs. This study does not demonstrate an advantage with M2-360 degrees s.

        Association of Chiari malformation type I and tethered cord syndrome: preliminary results of sectioning filum terminale.
        Surg Neurol. 2009 Jul;72(1):20-35

        OBJECTIVE: The pathogenesis of CM-I is incompletely understood. We describe an association of CM-I and TCS that occurs in a subset of patients with normal size of the PCF. METHODS: The prevalence of TCS was determined in a consecutively accrued cohort of 2987 patients with CM-I and 289 patients with low-lying cerebellar tonsils (LLCT). Findings in 74 children and 244 adults undergoing SFT were reviewed retrospectively. Posterior cranial fossa size and volume were measured using reconstructed 2D computed tomographic scans and MR images. Results were compared to those in 155 age- and sex-matched healthy control individuals and 280 patients with generic CM-I. The relationships of neural and osseus structures at the CCJ and TLJ were investigated morphometrically on MR images. Intraoperative CDU was used to measure anatomical structures and CSF flow in the lumbar theca. RESULTS: Tethered cord syndrome was present in 408 patients with CM-I (14%) and 182 patients with LLCT (63%). In 318 patients undergoing SFT, there were no significant differences in the size or volume of the PCF as compared to healthy control individuals. Morphometric measurements demonstrated elongation of the brain stem (mean, 8.3 mm; P &lt; .001), downward displacement of the medulla (mean, 4.6 mm; P &lt; .001), and normal position of the CMD except in very young patients. Compared to patients with generic CM-I, the FM was significantly enlarged (P &lt; .001). The FT was typically thin and taut (mean transverse diameter, 0.8 mm). After SFT, the cut ends of the FT distracted widely (mean, 41.7 mm) and CSF flow in the lumbar theca increased from a mean of 0.7 cm/s to a mean of 3.7 cm/s (P &lt; .001). Symptoms were improved or resolved in 69 children (93%) and 203 adults (83%) and unchanged in 5 children (7%) and 39 adults (16%) and, worse, in 2 adults (1%) over a follow-up period of 6 to 27 months (mean, 16.1 months +/- 4.6 SD). Magnetic resonance imaging 1 to 18 months after surgery (mean, 5.7 months +/- 3.8 SD) revealed upward migration of the CMD (mean, 5.1 mm, P &lt; .001), ascent of the cerebellar tonsils (mean, 3.8 mm, P &lt; .001), reduction of brain stem length (mean, 3.9 mm, P &lt; .001), and improvement of scoliosis or syringomyelia in some cases. CONCLUSIONS: Chiari malformation type I/TCS appears to be a unique clinical entity that occurs as a continuum with LLCT/TCS and is distinguished from generic CM-I by enlargement of the FM and the absence of a small PCF. Distinctive features include elongation and downward displacement of the hindbrain, normal position of the CMD, tight FT, and reduced CSF flow in the lumbar theca. There is preliminary evidence that SFT can reverse moderate degrees of tonsillar ectopia and is appropriate treatment for cerebellar ptosis after Chiari surgery in this cohort.
