The Risk of Seizure After Surgery for Unruptured Intracranial Aneurysms: A Prospective Cohort Study.
We aimed to identify a group of patients with a low risk of seizure after surgery for unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIA). ⋯ MCA, middle cerebral arterymRS, modified Rankin ScaleUIA, unruptured intracranial aneurysms.

A trapped temporal horn can be emergently decompressed by inserting a bedside temporal horn external ventricular drain (tEVD). However, no standardized method for this procedure has been described. ⋯ CSF, cerebrospinal fluidEVD, external ventricular draintEVD, temporal horn external ventricular drainOR, operating room.

Severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) damages the frontal lobes and connecting networks, which impairs executive functions, including the ability to self-regulate. Despite significant disabling effects, there are few treatment options in the chronic phase after injury. ⋯ DBS, deep brain stimulationIC, internal capsuleMPAI-4, Mayo-Portland Adaptability Inventory-4NAcc, nucleus accumbensTBI, traumatic brain injury.
