    Abstract Background: Spondylitis TB on cervical region is a rare disease, that may lead to severe neurological complications. The anterior approach is considered as a gold standard for cervical spine tuberculosis. Available studies and literature have not precisely mentioned on how many levels are acceptable for this disease and still up for discussion.
    Case presentation: A 45-year-old Asian male was brought from a rural hospital to our outpatient clinic with progressive weakness of all extremities for 3 months. Cervical x-ray and MRI showed three-levels of vertebral body destruction, suggesting a cervical spondylitis TB. Patient had debridement, corpectomy on C4, 5, 6, fusion with cage, and anterior plating from C3 to Th1 in a one-stage anterior approach. Immediately after the surgery, the patient had no complaints of pain, and he was able to walk on his own. One year follow-up after the surgery, no residual neurological impairment is detected and had no limitation in daily activities. Cervical x-ray and MRI showed good ossification and improvement of lordotic curvature.
    Conclusion: Treatment of cervical spondylitis TB which involved three-levels of vertebrae using one-stage anterior approach provides a good rate of deformity correction along with clinical improvement and long-term well-being of the patient.

    Abstract Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a chronic inflammatory disease primarily affecting synovial joints and tendons, can potentially impact various organs within the body. One notable complication associated with RA is upper cervical spine instability, medically termed atlantoaxial subluxation (AAS). This condition can lead to adverse consequences, including chronic myelopathy and acute mechanical compression of the medulla oblongata, with the potential for sudden death. While AAS may often remain asymptomatic, some nonspecific symptoms, such as neck pain, have been documented. Severe atlantoaxial subluxation can trigger more distinct symptoms, including delayed occipital pain attributed to the compression of the exiting C2 nerve root. Recent studies have elucidated a spectrum of symptoms preceding sudden death, encompassing vertigo, dizziness, convulsions, dysphagia, disorientation, and seizures. Remarkably, some cases have reported sudden death occurring during sleep. Historical data reveal a fluctuating incidence of this phenomenon, with eleven cases reported between 1969 and 1975 and six cases documented between 1990 and 2010. Notably, one of the most prevalent causes of sudden mortality in individuals with RA is the acute mechanical damage inflicted upon the medulla oblongata due to atlantoaxial subluxation.

    Abstract Introduction and importance: The cervicothoracic junction is prone to infection by tuberculosis bacteria, which leads to spinal instability. Meanwhile, cervicothoracic junction spinal tuberculosis is a disease that affects the C7 to T3 vertebral, and it accounts for 5% of all spinal tuberculosis cases. Surgical procedures of treating this disease vary, and the most commonly used method is the combined anterior and posterior approach. This case report presents the disease with uncommon location in pediatric, which is rarely reported, and performed with the single-stage posterior approach to treat the patient, which showed a good clinical and radiological result.
    Case presentation: A 15-years old girl with one-month history of progressive inferior paraplegia (within a month, her muscle strength went from score 5 to 0) initially complained of neck pain, gradual weakness of the lower extremities, and hypoesthesia below T4. The spine's MRI also showed a tuberculous spondylitis in the T1 to T3 vertebral and a huge paravertebral abscess at the C5 to T3 level. Subsequently, an adequate decompression, debridement, maintenance and reinforcement of stability as well as deformity correction were carried out using the single-stage posterior approach.
    Conclusions: The cervicothoracic junction spinal tuberculosis with huge paravertebral abscess makes surgical procedures difficult, specifically in pediatric patients. However, the single stage posterior approach produced a better clinical and radiological result with a short operation time. The selection of appropriate surgical approach management with good perioperative planning as well as effective medical management improved the patient's condition.

    Abstract Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic represents a once in a century challenge to human health care with over 4.5 million cases and over 300,000 deaths thus far. Surgical practice has been significantly impacted with all specialties writing guidelines for how to manage during this crisis. This study reported the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the neurosurgical practice, especially neurospine, in the outpatient visit, emergency department, and the surgical procedure.
    Methods: This study is the comparative retrospective about neurospine practice in the outpatient visit, emergency department, and the surgical procedure among before and during COVID-19 pandemic. We recorded data from January to December 2019 (before COVID-19 pandemic) and compared with the same period in the 2020 (during a COVID-19 pandemic).
    Results: A total of the outpatient visits, the average number per month was 28 ± 10.5 visits per month before the pandemic. The average number outpatient visit per month during the pandemic was 19 ± 11.1 visits per month, with the lowest in July 2020. The result of the average monthly neurospine surgical procedure before the pandemic was 5 ± 1.9 operations per month. Compared during the pandemic, there was decreased in the neurospine surgical procedure with the average number was 2 ± 2.7 operations per month. The decreased number significantly happens in the surgical procedure and emergency department patient (
    Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic changed all scopes of medical practice and training. Considering the limitation in the available resources, the number of educational cases may decrease in subspecialized disciplines such as neurospine neurosurgery. The COVID-19 pandemic affects in the neurospine and neurosurgery treatment policy in the referral tertiary hospital.

    Abstract Intramedullary cavernous angioma is a rare vascular malformation compared to cerebral cavernous malformation. The incidence of cavernous angioma is about 3 - 5% of all central nervous system lesions, 5 - 12% of all spinal vascular lesions, and 1% of all intramedullary lesions in pediatric patients. Although intramedullary cavernous angioma has the same histological picture as cerebral cavernous angioma, the natural history, and surgical approach are different from cerebral cavernous angioma. Due to its location in the eloquent area of the spinal medulla, a slight change in the size of the lesion can affect the neurological function of the patient. We describe a case of an intramedullary cavernous angioma with hemosiderin post bleeding, located in the cervical cord which was initially misdiagnosed as hemorrhagic ependymoma. On whole spine MR imaging we also found an intramedullary cavernous angioma in the lower thoracal cord at the T12 level with mild hemorrhage. Abdominal MRI showed cavernous angiomas in both kidneys. The patient underwent surgical treatment with removal of the lesion in the cervical cord and T12 level, with histopathologic findings consistent with cavernous angioma. No malignancy was detected. Post-surgery, the symptoms gradually improved. Symptomatic intramedullary cavernous angioma tends to bleed repeatedly and being unstable. Early diagnosis and surgical treatment can prevent rebleeding and more severe symptoms.

    Abstract Introduction: Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is uncommon in the pediatric population. The lumbar spine biodynamics and architecture change with age, with adults being more susceptible to LDH than children. When conservative treatment fails for pediatric LDH, surgery may be considered. We described an unusual instance of pediatric lumbar disc herniation that was successfully treated with microdiscectomy.
    Case presentation: A 15-year-old patient presented with back discomfort and pain in her left leg that had been deteriorating for over 4 years. Conservative treatment with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications and piriformis injection is ineffective. An MRI of her lumbosacral spine revealed that the left L4 root was compressed by a disc herniation at the L4/L5 level. A microdiscectomy was performed on the patient. Within 48 h of surgery, the patient was released home with significant alleviation in sciatic discomfort.
    Discussion: In the pathogenesis of LDH, trauma and a sedentary lifestyle are important factors. Back pain and radiating pain are typical LDH symptoms. If conservative treatment does not result in a positive outcome, the microdiscectomy procedure is the surgical approach of choice. Long-term outcomes have demonstrated the efficacy and safety of this procedure.
    Conclusion: Every child who presents with back pain or radiculopathy should undergo a thorough evaluation for LDH especially if they have a high body mass index (BMI) or a history of trauma. Careful patient selection and preoperative evaluation result in extremely excellent surgery outcomes in pediatric LDH.

    Abstract Background: Mortality predictions following traumatic brain injury (TBI) may be improved by including genetic risk in addition to traditional prognostic variables. One promising target is the gene coding for brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a ubiquitous neurotrophin important for neuronal survival and neurogenesis.
    Methods: A total of seven publications pertaining to BDNF in the study of traumatic head injury were included and reviewed. The majority of patients were male, that is, 483 (83.85%) patients, compared to 93 (16.15%) female patients. The median length of follow-up was 6 months (3 days-12 months). Measurement of the patient's initial condition was carried out by measuring the initial GCS of the patient at the time of admission across the five studies being 6.5. The median CSF BDNF levels in the unfavorable group being 0.2365 (0.19-0.3119) ng/ml, from favorable group which was 0.20585 (0.17-0.5526) ng/ml. The median serum BDNF level in the unfavorable group being 3.9058 (0.6142-13.0) ng/ml, from favorable group which was 4.3 (0.6174-23.3) ng/ml.
    Results: Six studies reported on the sex distribution of patients, the majority of patients were male, that is, 483 (83.85%) patients, compared to 93 (16.15%) female patients. Six studies reported the number of patients per outcome group. The comparison of the number of patients in the two groups was quite balanced with the number of patients in the good group as many as 269 patients (55.5%) and the number of patients in the unfavorable group as many as 216 patients (44.5%). Measurement of the patient's initial condition was carried out by measuring the patient's initial GCS at the time of admission. It was reported in five studies, with the overall mean baseline GCS across five studies being 6.5 (3.2-8.8). Measurement of patient outcome was carried out by several methods, two studies used Glasgow Outcome Scale, Glasgow Outcome Scale Extended was used in two studies, and five studies used survival as a patient outcome measure. The patient's BDNF level was measured in CSF and/or serum. A total of four studies measuring BDNF CSF levels and serum BDNF levels. Measurement of BDNF levels in TBI patients conducted on patients in seven literatures showed that there were differences in the trend of BDNF levels from CSF sources and serum sources. Measurement of CSF BDNF levels CSF BDNF levels was reported in two of the seven literatures, with the median CSF BDNF level in the unfavorable group being 0.2365 (0.19-0.3119) ng/ml. CSF BDNF levels were higher than the median in the preferred group, which was 0.20585 (0.17-0.5526) ng/ml. The results of the analysis from three other literatures stated that there was a tendency for lower CSF BDNF levels in the preferred group. Serum BDNF levels were reported in two of the seven literatures, with the median serum BDNF level in the unfavorable group being 3.9058 (0.6142-13.0) ng/ml. This serum BDNF level was lower than the median in the preferred group, which was 4.3 (0.6174-23.3) ng/ml. The results of the analysis of four literatures reporting serum BDNF stated that there was a tendency for lower serum BDNF levels in the poor group. A risk assessment of bias for each study was performed using ROBINS-I because all included studies were non-RCT studies. Overall the results of the risk of bias analysis were good, with the greatest risk of confounding bias and outcome bias.
    Conclusion: Serum BDNF levels were found to be lower in the unfavorable group than in the favorable group. This is associated with an increase in autonomic function as well as a breakdown of the blood-brain barrier which causes a decrease in serum BDNF levels. Conversely, CSF BDNF levels were found to be higher in the unfavorable group than in the favorable group. This is associated with an increase in the breakdown of the blood-brain barrier which facilitates the transfer of serum BDNF to the brain, leading to an increase in CSF BDNF levels.

    Abstract Background: Chronic epidural hematoma (CEDH) is uncommon and therefore, less well characterized. The incidence of CEDH ranges from 3.9 % to 30 % of all epidural hematomas. Posterior fossa epidural hematomas represent a rare clinical entity. It has been reported in only 4-7 % of all extradural hematomas. This rare condition may present with rapid clinical deterioration by quick increase in size that may cause brain stem compression. This study aims to provide a case of chronic epidural hematoma with uncommon sign of delayed neurological deficits, specifically in the posterior fossa region.
    Case presentation: We report a case of a 34-years-old male with left upper and lower extremities weakness for 3 days before admission. The patient had a history of falling from a height of approximately 3 m about 3 weeks ago. Craniotomy epidural hematoma evacuation was performed on the patient.
    Conclusion: Chronic epidural hematoma is uncommon and therefore, less well characterized. The results of surgical care of symptomatic chronic posterior fossa EDH are often excellent. Early diagnosis and emergent evacuation provide better outcome.

    Abstract Aim: To identify a novel material with biomechanical properties identical to the nucleus pulposus in the lumbar vertebrae of goats for use in intervertebral disc herniation surgery.
    Material and methods: In this laboratory-based experimental study, the silicone rubber material test group consisted of sample compositions 35PVA65SR, 30PVA70SR, and 40PVA60SR. Axial compression mechanical tests were conducted to assess the biomechanical properties of the resulting material in terms of stress, strain, load, and displacement.
    Results: The mechanical compression test results revealed that the stress (MPa) and strain (%) values of the 40PVA60SR material were closest to the control group (p=1.00) with a load of 684 N in each group. The value of material displacement (mm) for 40PVA60SR was also the closest to control (p=1.00) with a loading of 684 N.
    Conclusion: The new material presents biomechanical properties closest to human nucleus pulposus and is promising in nucleus pulposus replacement therapy. Further clinical research is needed to evaluate other biomechanical properties and the bioavailability of the novel material.
