    Abstract Crystal storing histiocytosis is a disorder characterized by local or diffuse infiltration of histiocytes containing crystalline inclusions. This entity has been reported in several organs, however the involvement of the central nervous system (CNS) is extremely rare and to date only 7 cases of crystal storing histiocytosis (CSH) of CNS have been reported in the English literature. More than 90% patients with CSH had an underlying lymphoproliferative or plasma cell disorders, especially multiple myeloma, lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma or monoclonal gammopathy. Radiologically and intraoperatively, CSH may mimic an infectious process or neoplasm, hence its histopathological confirmation is important to facilitate appropriate treatment. In this report, we describe an additional case of crystal storing histiocytosis in a 48 year old female who presented with a mass lesion in the right temporal lobe of the cerebrum.

    Abstract Purpose: In terms of postoperative morbidity and mortality, preservation of the perforating arteries branching from the anterior communicating artery (ACoA) during clipping is particularly imperative in patients with ACoA aneurysm. In the present study, we aimed to investigate whether perforating arteries originated from ACoA were pushed away in a different location in patients with ACoA aneurysm. Furthermore, if they did so, we aimed to identify the direction in which they were dislocated and how the perforating arteries could be preserved during clipping.
    Methods: Herein, we categorized 40 brains obtained from cadavers into two groups. The first (n = 26) and second (n = 14) groups included cases without and with ACoA aneurysms, respectively. After completing the preparation procedure, the brains were dissected using surgical microscope and the relevant anatomical region was examined and photographed. Finally, statistical analyses were performed on the data and the results were documented.
    Results: In the aneurysms with posterior and superior projections, the perforators appeared to be pushed away inferiorly and were frequently noted at the anteroinferior part of the aneurysm neck. Most of the cases, where one of the A1s was larger at one side, the perforating arteries arose from the larger A1 side.
    Conclusion: The mortality and morbidity associated with damage to the perforators can be reduced by approaching the patient from the dominant A1 side and pursuing the perforators primarily at the anteroinferior part of the aneurysm neck in the aneurysms with superior and posterior projections.

    Abstract Posterior cerebral artery (PCA) aneurysms comprise <2% of all intracranial aneurysms and are usually located on the P1 and P2 segments. Aneurysms of the P3 segment of the PCA are even rarer, and despite their proximity to the cerebral aqueduct, presentation with hydrocephalus is exceptional. This video demonstrates the case of a 28-year-old female patient who presented acute hydrocephalus due to a partially thrombosed, giant P3 segment PCA aneurysm. The patient was operated on in the semisitting position, and a right frontal ventricular drain was placed for brain relaxation. A U-shaped skin incision was made, and a left-sided, 6 cm × 6 cm parietooccipital craniotomy crossing the midline was performed. An interhemispheric approach was used to reach the aneurysm. The aneurysm was trapped via temporary clipping of the inflow and outflow arteries, thrombectomized, and then clipped using a right-angled fenestrated aneurysm clip. Postoperative computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed resolution of the hydrocephalus, and cerebral angiography confirmed total exclusion of the aneurysm from the circulation and occlusion of the P4 segment of the PCA, which was considered embolic. The patient made an excellent recovery, and she was discharged on postoperative day 3 (Video 1). This case demonstrates the efficacy of microsurgical clipping for a giant thrombotic P3 segment PCA aneurysm that caused a mass effect. Surgery excluded the aneurysm from the circulation and decompressed the cerebral aqueduct, obviating the need for a permanent ventriculoperitoneal shunt.

    Abstract Purpose: The sulci constituting the structure of the pars triangularis and opercularis, considered as 'Broca's area', present wide anatomical and morphological variations between different hemispheres. The boundaries are described differently from one another in various studies. The aim of this study was to explore the topographical anatomy, confirm the morphological asymmetry and highlight anatomical variations in Broca's area.
    Methods: This study was performed with 100 hemispheres to investigate the presence, continuity, patterns and connections of the sulcal structures that constitute the morphological asymmetry of Broca's area.
    Results: Considerable individual anatomical and morphological variations between the inferior frontal gyrus and related sulcal structures were detected. Rare bilateralism findings supported the morphological asymmetry. The inferior frontal sulcus was identified as a single segment in 54 % of the right and two separate segments in 52 % of the left hemispheres, which was the most common pattern. The diagonal sulcus was present in 48 % of the right and 54 % of the left hemispheres. It was most frequently connected to the ascending ramus on both sides. A 'V' shape was observed in 42.5 % of the right hemispheres and a 'Y' shape in 38.3 % of the left hemispheres, which was the most common shape of the pars triangularis. Moreover, the full results are specified in detail.
    Conclusions: Knowledge of the anatomical variations in this region is indispensable for understanding the functional structure and performing safe surgery. However, most previously published studies have aimed to determine the anatomical asymmetry of the motor speech area without illuminating the topographical anatomy encountered during surgery.

    Abstract Aim: To describe the role of metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) in glioblastoma (GB) progression in patients concurrently diagnosed with diabetes mellitus (DM).
    Material and methods: Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor samples of 47 patients diagnosed with GB only and 13 patients diagnosed with GB and DM (GB-DM) were enrolled in this study. Data for p53 and Ki67 immunohistochemical staining of the tumors and blood HbA1c levels of patients with DM were retrospectively collected. MALAT1 expression was assessed using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction.
    Results: The coexistence of GB and DM induced the nuclear expression of p53 and Ki67 compared with GB only. MALAT1 expression was higher in GB-DM tumors than in GB only tumors. The expression of MALAT1 and HbA1c levels were positively correlated. Additionally, MALAT1 was positively correlated with tumoral p53 and Ki67. The disease-free survival of patients with GB-DM with high MALAT1 expression was shorter than that of those diagnosed with GB only and with a lower MALAT1 expression.
    Conclusion: Our findings suggest that one of the mechanisms of the facilitating effect of DM on GB tumor aggressiveness is via MALAT1 expression.

    Abstract Objective: To assess vascular opacifications, the efficiency, and interobserver agreement (IOA) of five different computed tomography angiography (CTA) brain death (BD) scoring systems in patients with and without cranial interventions, for determining alternative findings correctly supporting BD diagnosis by CTA even in cranial intervention presence.
    Methods: 45 patients clinically identified with BD and evaluated with CTA were included. IOA of five different scoring systems used for CTA BD diagnosis, the effect of intracranial interventions on scoring systems, and vascular opacification were evaluated.
    Results: IOA was almost perfect (κ = 0.843-0.911, p < 0.05) and substantial (κ = 0.771-0.776, p < 0.05) in all scoring systems. Significant relationships were observed between craniectomy presence and middle cerebral artery M4 segment and internal cerebral vein (ICV) opacification. No opacification was observed in straight sinus (SS) by observers in any of the craniectomized patients.
    Conclusion: IOA of CTA scoring systems is adequate. But a significant degree of false-negative results is observed due to ICV filling in craniectomy cases. Opacification presence in SS can give an idea of BD in these cases.
