Our aim was to highlight more this phenomenon quite rare, becoming from nowadays of public health and to compare adapted treatments to originator ones of the Literature. Two children with both brain injury due to metal after domestic accident, operated in 2018 and closely followed-up during 3 years were gathered. Their cases are reported, and their features discussed according to Literature. Cases presentation: Children were 13-month-old and 12-year-old all operated less than 24 hours after the trauma. It was a masonry nail long of 5 centimetres (cm) for the infant and ᴓ8 (millimetres = mm) iron rod long of 48 cm for the teenager. The mechanism was the fall at home from his height or from a mangoes-tree. The entry zone was the left-occipital in the first case and the right inner canthus in the second. The metallic foreign body was surgically removed in both cases and without complications. The follow-up during 3 and half years was also neurologically uneventful. Discussion/conclusion: Metallic intracranial foreign bodies are encountered mostly in wartime or high violence area, rarely in domestic games. None Angio-CT-scan was performed. Surgical removal must be as earlier when possible but should not omit a prior radio-clinic exploration with better anatomical radio-analysis (on the CT-scan). The spectacular appearance of non-missile penetrating head injuries incites a rapid surgery in order to limit complications, particularly infectious ones.","PeriodicalId":131868,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Neurosurgery Research and Reviews","volume":"2014 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128894487","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this group of patients, humanto-human amyloid-β transmission has been hypothesized, following neurosurgical procedures carried out years before. Case Description: We report the case of a 38-year-old woman who suffered repeated intracerebral hemorrhages caused by cerebral amyloid angiopathy three decades after an astrocytoma resection with cadaveric dural graft used for closing. Neuroimaging showed extensive left parenchymal hematoma, several microbleeds and frontal and occipital superficial siderosis. Pathology showed blood vessels with deposits stained with Congo Red, suggestive of cerebral amyloid angiopathy. Genetic tests did not reveal any mutation related to hereditary forms of β -amyloid pathology. Conclusion: This case report highlights the importance of considering cerebral amyloid angiopathy as part of differential diagnosis of lobar intracerebral hemorrhage in young adults, especially in those with a past medical history of neurosurgery and provide new evidence to support that amyloid-β might be transmitted as a prion disease.","PeriodicalId":131868,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Neurosurgery Research and Reviews","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116517185","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is suggested that NCM is developed due to abnormal proliferation of melanin-producing cells following dysmorphogenesis in the embryology life. The clinical symptoms of NCM depend on the size and site of the lesion. One of the most common sites is the anterior temporal lobe. Management options are limited in such patient and the prognosis is generally poor. Clinical, radiological, along with CSF cytology can establish the diagnosis of NCM. Surgical intervention carries temporary better results than adjuvant therapy in patients with NCM.","PeriodicalId":131868,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Neurosurgery Research and Reviews","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121762779","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
