    Abstract Background: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery targeting the ventral intermediate thalamic nucleus (Vim) has proven efficacy in the treatment of tremor.
    Aims: The primary aim is to investigate whether there is a statistically significant difference in patient outcomes when CT-guided targeting of the Vim is compared with MRI-guided targeting.
    Methods: This is a retrospective study concerning patients undergoing Vim-targeted DBS at the Department of Neurosurgery, Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle (9
    Results: Independent samples
    Conclusion: No statistically significant difference between CT and MR image-guided targeting patient groups was detected.

    Abstract Background: Anterior sacral meningocele (ASM) is an uncommon variant of spinal dysraphism. Surgical correction for this condition is challenging and optimal corrective approaches are uncertain.
    Objective: To share our experience of managing this rare condition using the posterior trans-sacral approach and provide a contemporary review of the literature.
    Methods: Retrospective review of case notes, operative records, and imaging of eligible patients treated via the posterior trans-sacral approach between 2006 and 2020 at our regional neurosciences centre.
    Results: Three patients, two females and one male with a mean age of 30 years (range 16-38), were treated. Presenting symptoms included lower abdominal pain and recurrent miscarriages. Patients underwent corrective surgery using the posterior approach involving a sacral laminectomy, durotomy and closure of the communicating fistula. A single patient required reoperation due to early recurrence. Another patient proved challenging because of a very large sacral fistula and required two procedures due to the development of high-pressure headaches secondary to a recurrence. All patients improved symptomatically postoperatively and remained symptom free at the last clinic follow-up and have been discharged. Following review of the literature, only two other non-syndromic cases have been described.
    Conclusions: ASM is an uncommon congenital abnormality, typically presenting with mass effect symptoms secondary to a presacral cystic mass. Surgical management using a posterior approach to close the meningeal sac is feasible and less invasive than an anterior approach. Long term clinical outcomes in our series were satisfactory.

    Abstract Background: The convex frontal bone is covered by thin skin, rendering its reconstruction cosmetically challenging. Customized alloplastic implants provide better contouring than autologous bone, yet their high cost and availability limit their application. We assess customized titanium mesh implants precontoured using patient-specific three-dimensional (3D) printed models for late frontal cranioplasty.
    Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the prospectively collected cases of unilateral frontal titanium mesh cranioplasty with 3D printing-assisted preplanning from 2017 to 2019. We used two 3D-printed patient-specific skull models for preoperative planning: a mirrored normal model for implant contouring and a defect model for edge trimming and fixation planning. The endoscope was used in 4 cases for percutaneous mesh fixation. We documented postoperative complications. We assessed the reconstruction symmetry clinically, and radiologically on postoperative computed tomography.
    Results: Fifteen patients were included. The duration after previous surgery ranged from 8 to 24 months. Four patients developed complications, which were managed conservatively. Favorable cosmetic outcomes were achieved in all patients.
    Conclusions: Precontouring of titanium mesh implants using in-house 3D-printed models could optimize cosmetic and surgical outcomes in late frontal cranioplasty. Preoperative planning could permit minimal access surgery, which could be aided by the endoscope in select cases.

    Abstract We describe the extremely unusual case of a childhood injury to the skull base presenting after many years, as a foreign body with chronic granulomatous infection of the brainstem, mimicking neoplasm. TB had an inconsequential penetrating injury to the left cheek, from a bamboo spike aged 15. After 4 years, he developed worsening left sided weakness, imaging at this time was normal. After a car accident aged 40, the weakness worsened further and imaging demonstrated a foreign body entering the skull base. At its tip, it had caused a chronic granulomatous reaction within the brainstem. Surgical removal of this bamboo splinter was via an infratemporal, transzygomatic craniotomy and TB made a good recovery postoperatively. This unusual case demonstrates the important of close inspection of imaging, and thorough history taking. It also questions the chronology of the ossification of the skull base.
