چکیده
BACKGROUND Subdural collection is a possible adverse event that can occur after hemispherotomy. OBJECTIVE : We describe our surgical technique to avoid subdural collection after peri-insular hemispherotomy in children. METHODS Since 2008, we have closed the corticotomy with interrupted pial sutures and fibrinogen glue in 16 patients. RESULTS This operative technique stopped the occurrence of postoperative subdural collection and was not associated with an increased incidence of postoperative hydrocephalus. CONCLUSION We recommend closing ventricular access after functional hemispherotomy, notably in patients who have had a stroke.

Delayed subdural hematoma after epidural blood patching in a patient with spontaneous intracranial hypotension--case report.
A 51-year-old woman presented with a rare case of spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) complicated by a delayed subdural hematoma (SDH) that required surgical evacuation 2 months after epidural blood patching (EBP). Subdural fluid collections are common among patients with SIH. These fluid collections vary in appearance from thin subdural hygromas to rare large SDHs associated with signif...

Unenhanced CT in four patients with long-standing ventricular shunts demonstrated bilateral low-density extraaxial collections that were indistinguishable from chronic subdural hematomas. After administration of contrast material, however, there was marked enhancement of the collections as well as prominent paratentorial and parafalcial enhancement. MR imaging, performed in three patients, demo...

Corticotomy, is one of the preferable means to obtain rapid tooth movement, early closure of spaces and avoid the need of an orthognathic surgery in selected cases, where in the conventional fixed orthodontics may take longer time or may be unable to provide the necessary results. In this, selective vertical and horizontal decortication cuts are made around teeth to be moved, which increases th...
