This paper aimed to provide information related to surgical and neurological complications encountered following intracranial electrode placements in patients with medically intractable epilepsy. ⋯ Based on our experience, intracranial electrode implantation is an effective and safe method with extremely low morbidity rate, especially in experienced hands.

This study was done to study the three dimensional anatomy of internal capsule's white fibers completely by cadaveric dissection and its relation to basal ganglia and other related anatomical structures. ⋯ Knowledge of the microsurgical anatomy of the internal capsule and other white fibers tracts is essential for neurosurgeons and other neuroscientists.

Minimally invasive surgery is currently a goal for surgical intervention in the spine. The effectiveness of endoscopic thoracic spine surgery and technological improvements are two factors that are always under consideration in the practice of spinal surgery. ⋯ The favorable results of thoracoscopic spinal surgery encourage its application to situations in which a conventional thoracic approach is indicated. Thoracoscopic spine surgery is applicable to all patients with various spinal diseases.

The brachial plexus (BP) has a complex structure and risky relations with its neighborhoods. This study was designed to investigate and overcome the morphometric features of the BP and the difficulties regarding surgery of BP lesions. ⋯ From the ventral rami to the cords, BP has a complex and variable anatomic structure. The selection of surgical procedure to the BP needs to be mastered by having the best knowledge of the relevant anatomy.

Comparative Study
Comparative research of the thin transverse sectional anatomy and the multislice spiral CT on Pterygopalatine Fossa.
To explore a method to obtain sub-millimeter data of the thin transverse section of the pterygopalatine fossa (PPF), and to study the thin transverse sectional anatomy of the adult pterygopalatine fossa and its communicating structure for providing anatomic gist for the imaging diagnosis and minimal invasive operation when PPF diseased. ⋯ Figures of thin transverse section and multislice spiral CT have highly consistency for the display of PPF. Both of them can correctly identify the micro-structure, the complex relationship of the connectivity and the spatial localization in the narrow space of PPF. It can provide reference gist for the imaging diagnosis and minimal invasive operation.
