    Objective  This study compared intraoperative findings with preoperative computed tomography angiography (CTA) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis of perianeurysmal findings for the indication of possible vessel wall thinning. Materials and Methods  Participants comprised 38 patients with unruptured middle cerebral artery aneurysms treated by surgical clipping at our hospital between May 2020 and April 2021. We defined parent artery radiation sign (PARS) as the presence of each of the following three findings in CFD analysis based on preoperative CTA: (1) impingement of the stream line on the outer parent vessel wall of the aneurysm; (2) radiation of wall shear stress vectors outwards from the same site; and (3) increased wall pressure compared with the surrounding area. CFD analysis showing PARS was compared with intraoperative findings. Results  In all nine cases with PARS, no morphological abnormalities were found in the same area on CTA. However, intraoperative findings showed thinning of the parent artery wall in one of the nine cases and formation of a very small mass in three cases, differing from CTA findings. All nine patients underwent additional clipping and/or wrapping and coating at the site of PARS. Conclusion  Detecting thinning of the vessel wall or the presence of a microaneurysm may be difficult in endovascular therapy, which is based on the visualization of the vessel lumen. CFD analysis suggests the necessity of confirming findings for the vessel wall around an aneurysm by direct manipulation, as the presence of PARS may indicate partial thinning of the vessel wall or formation of a microaneurysm.

    Objective  Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a neurological disorder that often presents as severe toothache. The majority of TN patients visit dental clinics first, so TN represents a potential pitfall for dental practitioners. This report describes the development of a trigeminal neuralgia questionnaire (TNQ), assessing 10 characteristics of TN, to assist dentists in screening for TN in dental clinics, and evaluates the effectiveness of TNQ. Materials and Methods  Fifty-three patients who visited the TN outpatient department in our institute and completed the TNQ were included in this study. All patients were examined by two neurosurgeons and neuroimaging was performed. Statistical Analysis  Patients were classified into a TN group and a non-TN group. TNQ score was retrospectively compared between groups. Furthermore, history and characteristics of TN were investigated in the TN group to clarify the status of the reference situation. Results  Thirty-seven cases were assigned to the TN group, and 16 cases to the non-TN group. Mean TNQ score was 8.3 in the TN group and 6.6 in the non-TN group. Setting a TNQ cutoff score of 7 offered 91% sensitivity and 56% specificity for TN. Investigation of the history of the present illness indicated that 39.2% of TN cases were improperly triaged and referred from initial dental clinics, and interdisciplinary practice was insufficient. Conclusion  TNQ offers a reliable, convenient method to triage TN patients, and may assist dentists in screening for TN. Multidisciplinary practice is necessary for total management of TN and the TNQ is expected to connect dentists and TN specialists.

    OBJECTIVES: Superficial temporal artery (STA) to middle cerebral artery (MCA) bypass surgery is a common treatment for preventing cerebral ischemia in patients with intracranial artery stenosis. The aim of this study was to analyze the surgical outcomes of the STA-MCA bypass procedure, particularly with regard to the invasiveness of targeted bypass (TB) with preoperative planning using Amira® software. METHODS: Consecutive patients with single STA-MCA bypass performed by a single neurosurgeon from January 2019 to May 2022 were included. The clinical parameters of seven TB patients were compared with those of 11 patients treated with the conventional method (CM). RESULTS: Compared with CM patients, TB using Amira® software patients had a shorter scalp incision (median [interquartile range]=11.2 [9.7-12.7] cm vs. 16.9 [16.0-17.7] cm, respectively; p=0.004], smaller craniotomy size (11.8 [11.5-14.4] cm2 vs. 20.9 [17.1-22.2] cm2, respectively; p=0.01], shorter surgery duration (201 [195-218] min vs. 277 [229-310] min, respectively; p=0.003], and less intraoperative bleeding (10 [10-20] g vs. 23 [20-50] g, respectively; p=0.033]. However, there were no differences in surgical complications between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS: Detailed preoperative evaluation using Amira® software can reduce the invasiveness of the STA-MCA bypass procedure.

    BACKGROUND: The trigeminocerebellar artery is a standard variant originating from the basilar artery and can be an infrequent cause of trigeminal neuralgia. METHOD: Total endoscopic microvascular decompression (eMVD) was performed using a 0-degree endoscope through a retro sigmoid keyhole. Multiple points of neurovascular conflict enhanced by indocyanine green angiography were identified, and the root entry zone was decompressed. The patient had an improvement in facial pain with no complications. CONCLUSION: Complete eMVD for a nerve-penetrating artery is a practical, minimally invasive, uncomplicated technique that improves visualization and patient comfort.
