    Abstract Background: Dural arteriovenous fistulas of the marginal sinus (DAVFms) are uncommon and complex, with varied symptoms. Their complexity is heightened by the region's dense anastomotic network, posing risks for endovascular treatment. Surgical intervention can be effective, but this depends on thorough pre-operative understanding and optimal intra-operative visualization of the fistula.
    Objective: To review the relevant anatomy, presentation patterns of DAVFms, and provide insights for surgical treatment.
    Methods: Recent literature on DAVFms was reviewed, and three surgical cases are discussed to highlight treatment principles.
    Results: The symptoms of a DAVFms vary depending on its venous drainage pattern. Drainage may be either ascending towards the cranial compartment or descending towards the spinal canal. Patients suffering from DAVFms may experience hemorrhage, particularly when venous drainage is directed upwards. Congestive symptoms of the spinal cord or brainstem can occur in cases of downward venous drainage. Compared to the endovascular approach, open surgery has a higher success rate in obliterating the fistula and yields better outcomes in cases of perimedullary venous drainage. Achieving surgical success necessitates thorough preoperative evaluation and adequate surgical exposure. Brainstem hyperintensity observed on T2-weighted MRI scans is linked to a poorer prognosis for recovery.
    Conclusion: Treating complex DAVFms often requires surgery, as endovascular methods may not be feasible. Successful surgery hinges on a precise understanding of the fistula's venous architecture and its spatial relationships, assessed using digital substraction angiography (DSA), angio-MRI, and angio-CT. Optimal intraoperative exposure is crucial for effective surgery.

    Abstract Background and objectives: The pathophysiology of spontaneous vertebral artery dissecting aneurysms (SVADA) is poorly understood. Our goal is to investigate the hemodynamic factors contributing to their formation using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and deep learning algorithms.
    Methods: We have developed software that can use patient imagery as input to recreate the vertebrobasilar arterial system, both with and without SVADA, which we used in a series of three patients. To obtain the kinematic blood flow data before and after the aneurysm forms, we utilized numerical methods to solve the complex Navier-Stokes partial differential equations. This was accomplished through the application of a finite volume solver (OpenFoam/Helyx OS). Additionally, we trained a neural ordinary differential equation (NODE) to learn and replicate the dynamical streamlines obtained from the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations.
    Results: In all three cases, we observed that the equilibrium of blood pressure distributions across the VAs, at a specific vertical level, accurately predicted the future SVADA location. In the two cases where there was a dominant VA, the dissection occurred on the dominant artery where blood pressure was lower compared to the contralateral side. The SVADA sac was characterized by reduced wall shear stress (WSS) and decreased velocity magnitude related to increased turbulence. The presence of a high WSS gradient at the boundary of the SVADA may explain its extension. Streamlines generated by CFD were learned with a neural ordinary differential equation (NODE) capable of capturing the system's dynamics to output meaningful predictions of the flow vector field upon aneurysm formation.
    Conclusion: In our series, asymmetry in the vertebrobasilar blood pressure distributions at and proximal to the site of the future SVADA accurately predicted its location in all patients. Deep learning algorithms can be trained to model blood flow patterns within biological systems, offering an alternative to the computationally intensive CFD. This technology has the potential to find practical applications in clinical settings.

    Abstract Background: The vertebral artery (VA) is in close proximity to bony structures, nerves and nerve sheaths of the cervical spine and craniovertebral junction (CVJ). These structures can be sources of tumors that are responsible for displacement, encasement and sometimes invasion of the VA. Removing these tumors while minimizing the risk of vascular injury requires thorough knowledge of the vascular anatomy, risk factors of vascular injury, the relationships of each tumor type with the VA, and the different surgical approaches and techniques that result in the best outcomes in terms of vascular control, tumoral exposure and resection.
    Objective: To present an overview of preoperative and anatomical considerations, differential diagnoses and various approaches to consider in cases of tumors in close relationship with the VA.
    Method: A review of recent literature was conducted to examine the anatomy of the VA, the tumors most frequently affecting it, surgical approaches, and the necessary pre-operative preparations for ensuring safe and maximal tumor resection. This review aims to underscore the principles of treatment.
    Conclusion: Tumors located at the CVJ and the cervical spine intimately involved with the VA, pose a surgical challenge and increase the risk of incomplete removal of the lesion. Detailed knowledge of the patient-specific anatomy and a targeted pre-operative work-up enable optimal planning of surgical approach and management of the VA, thereby reducing surgical risks and improving extent of resection.

    Abstract Background: Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is a neuromodulation process to treat neuropathic pain, initially developed on tonic paresthesia-based stimulation. In the last decade, 3 major paresthesia-free SCSs have emerged. Several studies show their superiority over tonic stimulation.
    Objective: We summarize the data on SCS efficacy and patients' preferences.
    Methods: We selected studies from the last decade to clarify whether the different paresthesia-free SCSs are superior to tonic or not and for which SCS the patient has a preference. Study selection was focused on a failed back surgery syndrome predominant population.
    Results: SCS is an effective way to treat intractable neuropathic pain of the limbs and back, compared with conventional medical management and reoperation. Paresthesia-free SCSs as burst, high-density, and 10-kHz frequency are equal to tonic SCS in some studies and superior in most. Analysis of patients' preferences shows a clear trend toward paresthesia-free SCS.
    Conclusions: Recent studies show superiority of paresthesia-free SCS compared with tonic SCS and those results are corroborated by analysis of patients' preferences. Taking these data into account should motivate physicians to opt for multimodal capable devices before implanting SCS.

    Abstract Background: Adhesive arachnoiditis is a rare yet serious complication that may occur following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). In this circumstance, it is mainly due to ruptured vertebral artery (VA) or posterior inferior artery (PICA) aneurysms. It disrupts cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow leading to complications such as spinal arachnoiditis, syringomyelia, trapped 4th ventricle, or a combination of these conditions. Evidence for effective treatment strategies is currently limited. We aimed to review the epidemiology, clinical characteristics, treatment, complications, outcomes, and prognosis of cranio-vertebral junction and spinal adhesive arachnoiditis resulting from ruptured VA and PICA aneurysms.
    Methods: This study involved a comprehensive literature review and complemented by our own case. We focused on adult cases of arachnoiditis, syringomyelia, and trapped 4th ventricle with SAH caused by ruptured VA or PICA aneurysms, excluding cases unrelated to these aneurysms and those with insufficient data.
    Results: The study included 22 patients, with a mean age of 52.4 years. Symptoms commonly manifest within the first year after SAH and timely diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion. Treatment approaches included lysis of adhesions and various shunt procedures. Most patients showed improvement post-treatment, though symptom recurrence is significant.
    Conclusion: Adhesive arachnoiditis is a critical complication following SAH, most commonly from ruptured VA and PICA aneurysms. Early detection and individualized treatment based on the type of arachnoiditis and CSF flow impact are crucial for effective management. This study underscores the need for tailored treatment strategies and further research in this field.

    Abstract Background: The vertebral arteries (VA) play a critical role by supplying nearly one-third of the brain's blood flow, predominantly contributing to the posterior circulation. These arteries may need to be exposed in a various cranial and cervical procedures and offers access to investigate or treat vascular lesions by endovascular means related to the posterior circulation. Given its complex anatomy, which is subject to numerous variations, and its role in supplying vital brain regions, a thorough understanding of the VA's anatomy is paramount for any related procedure.
    Objective: To provide a comprehensive overview of vertebral artery anatomy and its relevance in contemporary clinical practice.
    Methods: Dissection of the entire vertebral artery length using cadaveric specimen, combined with a comprehensive literature review.
    Results: The vertebral artery can be subdivided into four segments. Each of these segments has its own unique topographic anatomy with its variations, anastomoses, and significance in surgery.
    Conclusion: As surgical and endovascular techniques continue to evolve with technological improvements, we are now more equipped than ever to manage complex lesions involving the VA. However, with its increasingly complexity comes the necessity for a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of the VA. Possessing the detailed knowledge of the VA is vital for the successful execution of any procedure involving it.

    Abstract Background: The efficacy of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) stimulation for Parkinson's disease has been widely established. The microlesion effect (MLE) due to deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrode implantation has been reputed to be a good predictor for long-term efficacy of the procedure but its analysis in asleep implantation is still unclear. We thus analyzed MLE rate in our strategy of targeting the STN on MRI under general anesthesia and its correlation with our long-term results.
    Method: We retrospectively analyzed 32 consecutive parkinsonian patients implanted with a DBS targeting the STN bilaterally under general anesthesia between October 2013 and December 2020. Targeting was performed after head frame and localizer placement using a stereotactic peroperative robotic 3D fluoroscopy (Artis Zeego, Siemens) fused with preoperative CT and MRI data. We collected intraoperative data, postoperative occurrence of MLE, modification of Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale item III (UPDRS III) postoperatively and at subsequent visit, as well as reduction of medication.
    Results: The mean operative time was 223 min. No permanent complication occurred. MLE was observed in 90.7%. The mean follow-up time was 17 months. The UPDRS III for the off medication/on stimulation condition improved by 64.8% from baseline. The mean dose reduction of Prolopa after the surgical procedure was 31.3%.
    Conclusions: Direct targeting of STN under general anesthesia based on preoperative CT and MRI data fused with a preoperative 3D fluoroscopy is safe. It allows for a high rate of postoperative MLE (90.7%) and results in prolonged clinical improvement.
