    Abstract Introduction: and Importance: Adult Pilocytic Astrocytomas (APA) are infrequent low grade tumors. While supratentorial APA is considered rare, insular APA is extremely rare.
    Case presentation: We present a case of pure insular APA along with surgical outcomes. Tractography and functional MRI were obtained pre-operatively. The patient underwent neuro-navigation guided microsurgical resection with sub-cortical white matter mapping, utilizing Intra-operative MRI guidance. The Sylvain fissure was opened to secure the M3 branches, and near total resection was achieved.
    Clinical discussion: APA in the insula is a very rare presentation and is considered challenging. Its proximity to the middle cerebral and lenticulostriate arteries, motor areas, and language areas makes accessing and resecting the tumor challenging. A multidisciplinary approach by an experienced team is needed to plan the management of young adult patients and reach the best outcomes.
    Conclusion: Implementing microsurgical techniques, modern imaging modalities and intraoperative mapping helps to achieve maximal safe resection without risking functions.

    Abstract Introduction: Frontolateral craniotomy is a relatively small craniotomy is well established in skull base surgeries to deal with most of the anterior fossa, sellar, and parasellar lesions, providing adequate exposure and minimal brain retraction. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted of 83 cases, which occurred over the past 6 years, of different types of anterior cranial fossa, sellar, and parasellar tumors, which were approached through right frontolateral craniotomy. Discussion: A right frontolateral craniotomy that was 3 × 4 cm in dimension and flush with the roof of the orbit was used in all cases. We could achieve total resection in most of these tumors with minimal complications and good outcome. Different types of tumors were approached using this technique. Comparing our results with other approaches revealed better results with this minimally invasive technique regarding the total resection and follow-up. Conclusion: The frontolateral approach is minimally invasive, shortening operative time and minimizing morbidity.

    Abstract Background: Management of craniopharyngioma in children is challenging, and their quality of life can be significantly affected. Series describing this from low-middle income countries (LMIC) are few.
    Patients and methods: The study provides a retrospective chart review of pediatric patients <18 years old, diagnosed with craniopharyngioma between 2003 and 2014, and treated at King Hussein Cancer Center, Jordan.
    Results: Twenty-four patients (12 males) were identified. Median age at diagnosis was 7.4 years (0.9-16.4 years). Commonest symptoms were visual impairment and headache (71%). Review of seventeen preoperative MRIs showed hypothalamic involvement in 88% and hydrocephalus in 76%. Thirteen patients (54%) had multiple surgical interventions. Five patients (21%) had initial gross total resection. Eleven patients (46%) received radiotherapy and six (25%) intra-cystic interferon. Five years' survival was 87 ± 7% with a median follow-up of 4.5 years (0.3-12.3 years). Four patients (17%) died; one after post-operative cerebral infarction and three secondary to hypothalamic damage. At their last evaluation, all but one patient required multiple hormonal supplements. Ten patients (42%) had best eye visual acuity (VA) >20/40, and four (16%) were legally blind. Eleven patients (46%) were overweight/obese; one had gastric bypass surgery. Seven patients had hyperlipidemia, and eight developed fatty liver infiltration. Eleven patients (65%) were attending schools and one at college. Nine of the living patients (53%) expressed difficulty to engage in the community.
    Conclusions: Management of pediatric craniopharyngioma is particularly complex and demanding in LMIC. Multidisciplinary care is integral to optimize the care and minimize the morbidities. A management outline for LMIC is proposed.

    Abstract We review pituitary gland surgery and results at King Hussein Cancer Center and King Hussein Medical Center. Over the past 4 years we operated on 154 cases of pituitary adenoma. We use the frontolateral approach for the large tumors and the direct endonasal transsphenoidal approach. We start by using the endoscope for the transsphenoidal approach.We can achieve good results in acromegaly and Cushing's disease. Our mortality and morbidity are at the lowest level compared with standard results.

    Abstract Successful twinning initiatives have been reported in childhood leukemia. Pediatric neuro-oncology requires a complex multidisciplinary approach and the feasibility of similar twinning programs is unknown. Twinning between King Hussein Cancer Center in Amman and the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto started with e-mail communications, and subsequently included monthly videoconferences and exchanges between institutions. The outcome of 35 newly diagnosed medulloblastoma patients (22 high-risk and 13 average-risk) treated during this period is reported. The 3-year overall survival for average risk and high-risk patients was 100 and 81%, respectively. This experience suggests that twinning may facilitate the implementation of multidisciplinary neuro-oncology programs in low-income countries. Videoconferencing allows interactive exchanges with a significant learning impact.
