We set out to investigate the optimal timing for shunt placement in patients with hydrocephalus after decompressive craniectomy (DC). ⋯ Cranioplasty and ventriculostomy followed by a second stage placement of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt are associated with fewer complications in the treatment of hydrocephalus after DC.

To study the clinical value and efficacy of computerized tomography (CT)-monitored microinvasive craniopuncture for traumatic epidural hematoma. ⋯ Under CT surveillance, the YL-1-type disposable intracranial hematoma smash puncture needle aspiration in the treatment of traumatic epidural hematoma is a simple, fast, and accurate positioning procedure. Without craniotomy and blood transfusion, the YL-1-type disposable intracranial hematoma smash puncture needle aspiration is a safe and effective operation, but close attention is needed during the operation.

To evaluate the use of indocyanine green (ICG) videoangiography in surgical clipping of paraclinoid aneurysms. ⋯ ICG videoangiography is a useful adjunct to the surgical management of paraclinoid aneurysms.

Intracerebral haematoma and brain ischaemia are rare life-threatening complications of cardiovascular surgery. The aim of this study is to present the experience with the neurosurgical treatment of patients with cerebrovascular complications of heart surgery. ⋯ Minimally invasive neurosurgery techniques appear to be beneficial for selected patients with intracerebral haematoma after heart surgeries even when considering the limited number of patients. Decompressive craniectomy should be considered strictly individually.

To understand the mechanism of the gamma knife treating the trigeminal neuralgia. ⋯ The pain relief induced the gamma knife radiosurgery might be related with the atrophy of the trigeminal nerve root in Chinese patients with primary trigeminal neuralgia.
