There is an abundance of articles published on low-grade glioma. The aim of this study was to identify and review the 50 most-cited articles on low-grade glioma, and to perform a bibliometric analysis. ⋯ We identified the top 50 most-cited articles on low-grade glioma and the level of knowledge about this topic has been increased.

Hypertensive spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhages (ICH) cause significant morbidity and mortality. In this study, we aimed to investigate the association between calcium level at admission and outcome in hypertensive ICH patients. ⋯ Low calcium level at admission is associated with worse outcome and might be a prognostic factor for acute ICH.

The standard methods for measuring intracranial pressure (ICP) are invasive in nature. Non invasive methods such as ONSD may help circumvent these complications and may serve as a surrogate marker for increased ICP. The primary aim of this study was to assess the ONSD (optic nerve sheath diameter) changes using ultrasonography (USG) and computed tomography (CT) scan in hydrocephalus patients before and after the insertion of VP shunt. ⋯ In patients with hydrocephalus undergoing VP shunt surgery, we found a significant reduction in ONSD after the shunt insertion in both pediatric and adult population. We also found a good correlation between the USG and CT scan measurements of ONSD.
