    Title translation Récupération retardée à la suite d’une hypertension intracrânienne réfractaire sévère due à une expansion de la peau et à un étirement péricrânien après une craniectomie décompressive.
    Abstract Purpose: Decompressive craniectomy immediately reduces intracranial pressure by increasing space to accommodate brain volumes. Any delay in reduction of pressure and signs of severe intracranial hypertension requires explanation.
    Clinical features: We present the case of a 13-yr-old boy presenting with a ruptured arteriovenous malformation resulting in a massive occipito-parietal hematoma and increased intracranial pressure (ICP) refractory to medical management. This patient ultimately underwent a decompressive craniectomy (DC) for alleviation of increased ICP, despite which the patient's hemorrhage continued to worsen to the point of brainstem areflexia suggestive of possible progression to brain death. Within hours of the decompressive craniectomy, the patient displayed a relatively sudden, marked improvement in clinical status, most notably a return in pupillary reactivity and significant decrease in measured ICP. A review of postoperative images after the decompressive craniectomy suggested increases in brain volume that continued beyond the initial postoperative period.
    Conclusion: We urge caution to be taken in the interpretation of the neurologic examination and measured ICP in the context of a decompressive craniectomy. In the patient described in this Case Report, we propose that ongoing expansion of brain volume following a decompressive craniectomy beyond the initial postoperative period, possibly secondary to the stretch of skin or pericranium (used as a dural substitute for expansile duraplasty), can explain further clinical improvements beyond the initial postoperative period. We call for routine serial analyses of brain volumes after decompressive craniectomy to confirm these findings.

    Abstract We evaluated the utility of genetic testing in the pre-surgical evaluation of pediatric patients with drug-resistant focal epilepsy. This single-center retrospective study reviewed the charts of all pediatric patients referred for epilepsy surgery evaluation over a 5-year period. We extracted and analyzed results of genetic testing as well as clinical, EEG, and neuroimaging data. Of 125 patients referred for epilepsy surgical evaluation, 86 (69%) had some form of genetic testing. Of these, 18 (21%) had a pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant identified. Genes affected included NPRL3 (3 patients, all related), TSC2 (3 patients), KCNH1, CHRNA4, SPTAN1, DEPDC5, SCN2A, ARX, SCN1A, DLG4, and ST5. One patient had ring chromosome 20, one a 7.17p12 duplication, and one a 15q13 deletion. In six patients, suspected epileptogenic lesions were identified on brain MRI that were thought to be unrelated to the genetic finding. A specific medical therapy choice was allowed due to genetic diagnosis in three patients who did not undergo surgery. Obtaining a molecular diagnosis may dramatically alter management in pediatric patients with drug-resistant focal epilepsy. Genetic testing should be incorporated as part of standard investigations in the pre-surgical work-up of pediatric patients with drug-resistant focal epilepsy.

    Abstract Background: Although surgery within the tegmentum of the midbrain is challenging, resection of tegmental pilocytic astrocytomas (PAs) is a standard treatment because this has been shown to outperform chemotherapy and radiotherapy in terms of long-term tumor control. Gross total resection (GTR) assisted by intraoperative neuroelectrophysiological monitoring can be achieved with a reasonable risk-to-benefit ratio, especially for well-circumscribed tumors, but careful scrutiny of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is critical to surgical decision making. The authors present two cases of tegmental PAs, which appeared grossly similar on MRI and were operated on via the same surgical approach using the same intraoperative adjuncts.
    Observations: The tumors had identical histopathological and molecular diagnoses but drastically different functional outcomes for the patients, with significant long-term complications for one of the children, which the authors believe was due to a slightly more invasive nature of this tumor. The authors demonstrate subtle preoperative MRI findings that might be potential clues to a more infiltrative nature of one PA versus another and present pathological findings supporting this argument.
    Lessons: This report serves as a reminder that not all tegmental PAs can be managed by the same surgical approach. Subtle signs of infiltration may indicate that GTR should not be attempted.

    Abstract Efforts to understand microglia function in health and diseases have been hindered by the lack of culture models that recapitulate in situ cellular properties. In recent years, the use of serum-free media with brain-derived growth factors (colony stimulating factor 1 receptor [CSF1R] ligands and TGF-β1/2) have been favored for the maintenance of rodent microglia as they promote morphological features observed in situ. Here we study the functional and transcriptomic impacts of such media on human microglia (hMGL). Media formulation had little impact on microglia transcriptome assessed by RNA sequencing which was sufficient to significantly alter microglia capacity to phagocytose myelin debris and to elicit an inflammatory response to lipopolysaccharide. When compared to immediately ex vivo microglia from the same donors, the addition of fetal bovine serum to culture media, but not growth factors, was found to aid in the maintenance of key signature genes including those involved in phagocytic processes. A phenotypic shift characterized by CSF1R downregulation in culture correlated with a lack of reliance on CSF1R signaling for survival. Consequently, no improvement in cell survival was observed following culture supplementation with CSF1R ligands. Our study provides better understanding of hMGL in culture, with observations that diverge from those previously made in rodent microglia.

    Abstract Background: We investigated the temporal evolution of post-hemorrhagic ventricular dilatation (PHVD) and compared neurodevelopmental impairments (NDI) in newborns with (Group 1) spontaneous resolution of PHVD, (Group 2) persistent PHVD without neurosurgical intervention, and (Group 3) progressive PHVD receiving neurosurgical intervention.
    Methods: A multicenter retrospective cohort study of newborns born at ≤34 weeks with PHVD (ventricular index [VI] >97th centile for gestational age and anterior horn width [AHW] >6 mm) from 2012 to 2020. Severe NDI was defined as global developmental delay or cerebral palsy GMFCS III-V at 18 months.
    Results: Of 88 survivors with PHVD, 39% had a spontaneous resolution, 17% had persistent PHVD without intervention, and 44% had progressive PHVD receiving intervention. The median time between PHVD diagnosis and spontaneous resolution was 14.0 days (IQR 6.8-32.3) and between PHVD diagnosis and first neurosurgical intervention was 12.0 days (IQR 7.0-22.0). Group 1 had smaller median maximal VI (1.8, 3.4, 11.1 mm above p97; p < 0.001) and AHW (7.2, 10.8, 20.3 mm; p < 0.001) than Groups 2 and 3. Neurodevelopmental outcome data were available for 82% of survivors. Group 1 had reduced severe NDI compared to Group 3 (15% vs 66%; p < 0.001).
    Conclusion: Newborns with PHVD without spontaneous resolution are at higher risk for impairments despite neurosurgical interventions, which may be due to larger ventricular dilatation.
    Impact: The natural evolution of post-hemorrhagic ventricular dilatation (PHVD) and developmental implications of spontaneous resolution are not well established. In this study, approximately one in three newborns with PHVD experienced spontaneous resolution and this subset of newborns had reduced rates of neurodevelopmental impairments. More prominent ventricular dilatation was associated with reduced rates of spontaneous resolution and increased rates of severe neurodevelopmental impairment among newborns with PHVD. Understanding clinically relevant time points in the evolution of PHVD and predictors of spontaneous resolution may help inform the discussion around the optimal timing for intervention and allow for more precise prognostication in this population.
