    Abstract The following operative video demonstrates surgical tenets and nuances of the pretemporal transcavernous approach in an unusual case of a 33-year-old patient suffering new onset diplopia and a third nerve palsy due to an orbito-cavernous oculomotor schwannoma. Near total resection was accomplished through an extended pterional craniotomy with pretemporal transcavernous exposure of her lesion, resulting in resolution of her preoperative oculomotor palsy and visual dysfunction. When combined with extended pterional and modified frontotemporal orbitozygomatic approaches, the pretemporal transcavernous approach provides excellent surgical access to the parasellar region including the superior orbital fissure and cavernous sinus. Meticulous dissection and early identification of tissue planes, including cranial nerve and vascular anatomy, allows for safe removal of tumors arising in this region.

    Abstract Surgery for intramedullary spinal cord tumors presents multiple unique challenges, including the need to operate through a very narrow myelotomy window. In this operative video, we demonstrate the use of the surgical endoscope in an operation performed on a 35-year-old woman. She has a history of conus medullaris dermoid tumor resection, and she presented to us with worsening lower extremity sensory and motor symptoms. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a 4-cm recurrence of her tumor. After consenting to surgery, she underwent reoperative posterior lumbar approach to resection of her tumor. In our video we demonstrate our use of a surgical endoscope, which allowed us to minimize the extent of our myelotomy and resect tumor rostral and caudal to our myelotomy, thus minimizing the risk of damage to normal spinal cord that is displaced by tumor (Video 1).

    Abstract Background: Neurocysticercosis is a parasitic infection that commonly affects the ventricles, subarachnoid spaces, and spinal cord of the central nervous system. The authors report an unusual manifestation of purely posterior fossa neurocysticercosis treated with endoscope-assisted open craniotomy for resection.
    Observations: A 67-year-old male presented with 2 months of progressive dizziness, gait ataxia, headaches, decreased hearing, and memory impairment. Imaging revealed an extra-axial cystic lesion occupying the foramen magnum and left cerebellopontine angle with significant mass effect and evidence of early hydrocephalus. Gross-total resection was accomplished via a left far lateral craniotomy with open endoscopic assistance, and pathological findings were consistent with neurocysticercosis. Postoperatively, he was noted to have a sixth nerve palsy, and adjuvant therapy included albendazole. By 9 months postoperatively, he exhibited complete resolution of an immediate postoperative sixth nerve palsy in addition to all preoperative symptoms. His hydrocephalus resolved and did not require permanent cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) diversion.
    Lessons: When combined with traditional skull base approaches, open endoscopic techniques allow for enhanced visualization and resection of complex lesions otherwise inaccessible under the microscope alone. Recognition and obliteration of central nervous system neurocysticercosis can facilitate excellent neurological recovery without the need for CSF diversion.

    Abstract Introduction: Prolactinomas are unique tumors that may go into both hormonal and radiographic remission with dopamine agonist therapy or transsphenoidal surgery. Regardless of modality, the goals of therapy remain the same: (1) biochemical remission, including reduction of prolactin and normalization of sex hormones; (2) radiographic tumor control, with a range including prevention of tumor growth, tumor regression, or complete tumor resolution; (3) resolution of preoperative symptoms, including those that are hormonal or neurologic; and (4) prevention of new hypopituitarism or new neurologic symptoms.
    Areas covered: In the following review, we performed a search of the literature using keywords 'prolactinoma,' 'dopamine agonist,' 'surgery,' 'cost-effectiveness,' 'recurrence,' and 'complication' to compare the relative merits of medical versus surgical therapy for prolactinoma, including special circumstances such as cystic tumors, pregnant patients, and the cost-effectiveness of different strategies.
    Expert commentary: Medical therapy can offer a cure, but surgery provides an important adjunct to patients with resistance or intolerance to dopamine agonists, and offers excellent outcomes including when combined with continued postoperative medical therapy. Further head to head comparisons will benefit patients and practitioners weighing the relative risks and benefits of medical and surgical intervention, including the issue of their relative cost-effectiveness.

    Abstract Introduction YouTube is the most popular video-sharing website, and many students use it as a resource to find educational content. One type of video category is "productivity," in which the creator teaches viewers how to lead a more productive lifestyle by sharing ways to maximize studying, reshape daily habits, or set achievable goals. Little research has been conducted on whether these videos actually promote positive or negative feelings among viewers. Methods A survey was created through Qualtrics and shared through YouTube and Instagram. The survey asked about exposure to productivity videos and also asked individuals to share their experiences with consuming productivity-related educational content on YouTube. Survey items asked students to rate the helpfulness of these videos and share their feelings about the content. Respondents were asked to share whether YouTube videos on productivity made them feel anxious, motivated, inspired, neutral/indifferent, or inadequate. Participants were also asked to rate how helpful they found productivity videos on YouTube (1-10, with 10 being most helpful). The survey included free response sections to assess viewers' perceptions and attitudes toward productivity videos. Results The cross-sectional survey amassed 595 responses across 60 countries, with 364 responses coming from individuals within the United States. Of the respondents, 397 of the respondents were female, 177 were male, and 21 preferred not to say or identified as non-binary. The average age of participants was 22 years; 79 were in high school, 174 were in college, 223 were in medical school, and the remainder identified as "other" (graduate school, gap year, etc.). Of the 595 completed responses, 494 reported watching videos on YouTube related to improving productivity; when asked how these videos made them feel, 127 participants answered "anxious," 357 answered "motivated," 308 answered "inspired," 95 answered "neutral/indifferent," and 97 answered "inadequate." When rating how helpful they found these videos (1-10), an average score of 6.8 was recorded. Conclusion Most viewers feel motivated or inspired by productivity videos on YouTube. Based on the free responses provided by survey participants, productivity videos can be made more effective by showing more relatable routines and demonstrating what viewers should do when goals are not met.

    Abstract A previously healthy 44-year-old woman presented with a first-time seizure. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a right frontal intraaxial mass extending from the orbitofrontal gyri and gyrus rectus to the head of the caudate (Video 1). The mass demonstrated heterogeneous signal intensity on precontrast T1-weighted MRI, minimal contrast enhancement, and mixed intensity on gradient echo MRI sequence consistent with a likely cavernous malformation. Given the location above the orbital roof with cranial-caudal extension to the level of the caudate, a transblepharo-preseptal modified orbitozygomatic craniotomy was recommended. With the assistance of plastic surgery, the lesion was approached through an eyelid incision that extended laterally to expose the keyhole. A McCarty burr hole was made, followed by a tailored orbitozygomatic craniotomy with osteotomies extending through the superolateral orbit and greater sphenoid wing to expose the proximal sylvian fissure. Dura was opened in a C-shaped fashion over the periorbital fat to allow for mild downward retraction of the globe, exposing the subfrontal trajectory. The opticocarotid cistern was opened to allow for cerebrospinal fluid egress and relaxation, and the lesion was readily identified through the use of stereotactic neuronavigation and presence of a faint hemosiderin blush within the underlying parenchyma. The standard microsurgical technique was used to perform a gross total resection of the pathologically confirmed cavernous malformation. The orbitozygomatic bone flap was replaced and plated, and the wound was closed in multiple layers. The patient was seen at a 3-month follow-up without further seizures.

    Abstract Dural arteriovenous fistulae are high flow, low resistance intracranial vascular malformations defined by an aberrant connection between an artery and dural vein or sinus. Symptomatology and presentation are highly dependent on location, generally categorized as supratentorial, tentorial, or infratentorial, and consist primarily of sequelae secondary to local venous hypertension, insufficiency, and cortical venous reflux. Surgery is generally reserved for high risk or persistently symptomatic lesions that are unamenable or unresponsive to endovascular therapy. For surgical lesions, familiarity with skull base approaches, specific fistula anatomy, and technical nuances based on fistula location offer patients the best chance of a favorable outcome.
