    Abstract Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a significant cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide and many patients with TBI require intensive care unit (ICU) management. When facing a life-threatening illness, such as TBI, a palliative care approach that focuses on noncurative aspects of care should always be considered in the ICU. Research shows that neurosurgical patients in the ICU receive palliative care less frequently than the medical patients in the ICU, which is a missed opportunity for these patients. However, providing appropriate palliative care to neurotrauma patients in an ICU can be difficult, particularly for young adult patients. The patients' prognoses are often unclear, the likelihood of advance directives is small, and the bereaved families must act as decision-makers. This article highlights the different aspects of the palliative care approach as well as barriers and challenges that accompany the TBI patient population, with a particular focus on young adult patients with TBI and the role of their family members. The article concludes with recommendations for physicians for effective and adequate communication to successfully implement the palliative care approach into standard ICU care and to improve quality of care for patients with TBI and their families.

    Abstract As progress is gradually being made toward increased representation and retention of women in neurosurgery, the neurosurgical community should elevate effective efforts that may be driving positive change. Here, the authors describe explicit efforts by the neurosurgery community to empower and expand representation of women in neurosurgery, among which they identified four themes: 1) formal mentorship channels; 2) scholarships and awards; 3) training and exposure opportunities; and 4) infrastructural approaches. Ultimately, a data-driven approach is needed to improve representation and empowerment of women in neurosurgery and to best direct the neurosurgical community's efforts across the globe.

    Abstract Background: Supplementary motor area syndrome (SMAS) may occur after frontal tumor surgery, with variable presentation and outcomes. We reviewed the literature on postoperative SMAS after brain tumor resection.
    Methods: PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Cochrane were searched following the PRISMA guidelines to include studies reporting SMAS after brain tumor resection.
    Results: We included 31 studies encompassing 236 patients. Most tumors were gliomas (94.5%), frequently of low grade (61.4%). Most lesions were located on the left hemisphere (64.4%), involving the supplementary motor area (61.4%) and the cingulate gyrus (20.8%). Tractography and functional magnetic resonance imaging evaluation were completed in 45 (19.1%) and 26 (11%) patients. Gross total resection was achieved in 46.3% patients and complete SMA resection in 69.4%. A total of 215 procedures (91.1%) used intraoperative neuromonitoring mostly consisting of direct cortical/subcortical stimulation (56.4%), motor (33.9%), and somatosensory (25.4%) evoked potentials. Postoperative SMAS symptoms occurred within 24 hours after surgery, characterized by motor deficits (97%), including paresis (68.6%) and hemiplegia (16.1%), and speech disorders (53%), including hesitancy (24.2%) and mutism (22%). Average SMAS duration was 45 days (range, 1-365 days), with total resolution occurring in 188 patients (79.7%) and partial improvement in 46 (19.5%). Forty-eight patients (20.3%) had persisting symptoms, mostly speech hesitancy (60.4%) and fine motor disorders (45.8%).
    Conclusions: Postoperative SMAS may occur within the first 24 hours after mesial frontal tumor surgery. Preoperative mapping and intraoperative neuromonitoring may assist resection and predict outcomes. Neuroplasticity and interhemispheric connectivity play a major role in resolution.
