Review Meta Analysis
Neuroendoscopic Surgery versus Craniotomy for Supratentorial Hypertensive Intracerebral Hemorrhage: a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
No consensus has been achieved on the superiority between neuroendoscopy (NE) and craniotomy (CT) for the treatment of supratentorial hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (HICH). The purpose of this study is to analyze the efficacy and safety of NE versus CT for supratentorial HICH. ⋯ NE might be a safer and more effective surgical method than CT in the treatment of patients with supratentorial HICH. However, because of the existence of some limitations, the safety and validity of NE were weakened. More high-quality trials should be included to verify our conclusion.

Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) were believed to be congenital. However, an increasing number of de novo AVM cases have questioned this doctrine. ⋯ We discuss the literature on the genetics of AVMs and compare it with the consensus meeting outcomes. The congenital or noncongenital character of intracranial AVMs has an impact on the understanding their biological behavior, as well as their efficient short-term and long-term management.
