Percutaneous Endoscopic Interlaminar Decompression of Hypervascular Spinal Metastases: Case report.
Percutaneous endoscopic surgery is a common technique used for the treatment of disk herniation and spinal stenosis. In this report, we present a patient who underwent percutaneous endoscopic decompression due to spinal metastasis. ⋯ Percutaneous full-endoscopic interlaminar decompression can be an alternative minimally invasive treatment option in selected patients with radicular pain and neurologic deficit caused by spinal metastasis.

We present the application of the BrainPath endoport-assisted microsurgical device (EAMD) as a treatment modality for patients with severe intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) secondary to spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH). ⋯ BrainPath EAMD evacuation of severe IVH secondary to sICH appears to be a safe and effective treatment modality that significantly increases the extent of IVH clearance, which could also lead to improved long-term patient outcomes.

We explored the diagnostic performance of ultrasound examinations in the diagnosis of piriformis syndrome (PS). ⋯ Ultrasound examinations can assist in the clinical diagnosis of PS and have the potential to be an alternative method for the diagnosis of PS for most musculoskeletal clinicians.

An aneurysm embedded in a pituitary adenoma is rare, and treatment for both the aneurysm and pituitary adenoma is complex and controversial. ⋯ A combined endoscopic endonasal and bilateral subfrontal approach is effective for a pituitary adenoma associated with an ICA-SHA aneurysm.
