    Abstract Background: This review documents the evolution of the Vellore grading system for tuberculous meningitis and hydrocephalus (TBMH), its evaluation by different authors, and analyzes the need for further modification in light of the published literature.
    Methods: Published literature was searched in PubMed and Google Scholar using the search terms, "tuberculous meningitis hydrocephalus" and "Vellore grading." The retrieved articles were reviewed by the author and the appropriate ones were chosen for inclusion in the study.
    Results: Vellore grade (1-4, with 1 being the best grade and 4 being the worst grade) was found to be the sole statistically significant factor associated with outcome following VP shunt or ETV in several studies. Additionally, Vellore grades also correlate with the likelihood of success following ETV. However, the use of response to external ventricular drainage (EVD) in managing Vellore grade 4 patients has remained contentious as a small but significant proportion of patients have a good outcome following shunt, irrespective of their response to the EVD. The latter findings suggest that grade 4 patients might not constitute a homogenous group. It is proposed that grade 4 be subdivided into grades 4a and 4b, which might help in prognostication and in surgical management of the hydrocephalus in patients with TBMH.
    Conclusions: Vellore grading has proved its utility as a prognostic tool and can aid surgical decision-making. However, management of patients in grade 4 might be better rationalized with its division into grades 4a and 4b.

    Abstract Background: Combined surgery consisting of endoscopic trans-sphenoidal surgery (ETSS) and transcranial (TC) surgery for giant pituitary adenomas (GPAs) has been recommended to prevent lethal postoperative apoplexy. Based on our experience, we attempt to rationalize the indications for such surgery.
    Materials and methods: We report the magnetic resonance (MR) characteristics of the tumor and the outcomes in patients with GPAs who underwent ETSS only and combined surgery. Total tumor volume (TTV), tumor extension volume (TEV), and suprasellar extension of tumor (SET) were calculated based on the lines drawn on MR images and compared between those who underwent ETSS only and those who underwent combined surgery.
    Results: Of 80 patients with GPAs, eight (10%) underwent combined surgery (seven in the same sitting and one had staged surgery). All eight patients (100%) who underwent combined surgery had tumors with multilobulations, extensions, and encasement of the vessels in the circle of Willis (COW). Of 72 patients who underwent ETSS alone, 21 (29.1%) had a multilobulated tumor, 26 (36.2%) tumors had anterior/lateral extensions, and 12 (16.6%) had encasement of the COW. The mean TTV, TEV, and SET for the combined surgery group were significantly higher than those in the ETSS group. None of the patients who underwent combined surgery suffered postoperative residual tumor apoplexy.
    Conclusion: Patients with GPAs in whom there are significant lateral intradural or subfrontal tumor extensions should be considered for combined surgery at the same sitting to avoid devastating postoperative apoplexy in the residual tumor, which can occur when ETSS alone is performed.
