To circumvent these limitations, we analyzed five consecutive cases of chronic intractable neuropathic pain who underwent direct SCS paddle lead placement during the trial period for pain relief. In addition, during the process of placing a permanent paddle lead, the impediment created by prior epidural scarring in such chronic patients can be obviated mechanically thereby increasing the efficacy of the procedure. <b>Material and Methods</b>  The demographic details, diagnosis, preoperative visual analogue scale score (VAS), and follow-up VAS were recorded. Surgical procedure consisted of a standard dorsal laminotomy followed by placement of permanent paddle leads. <b>Results</b>  All patients reported significant improvement in their VAS scores. Mean duration of follow-up was 23.6 months (9-35 months). Mean preoperative VAS was 9.4 and 1.4 at the last follow-up.

The main objective of this study is to provide demographic data on the type of brain tumors and their distribution of age and gender from the cases presented to the neurosurgical department of a rural hospital in Sibu from 2018 to 2021. This is a retrospective study of the incidence and pattern of brain tumors admitted to the Neurosurgery Department in Sibu Hospital. Data were emanated from the brain tumor registry census from 2018 to 2021. Of all cases, only cases with confirmed histopathological results were included. Inoperable brain tumors that were diagnosed through radiological investigations were excluded. There were 230 patients with brain tumors included in this study. Males constituted 42.6% ( <i>n</i>  = 98) of the cases, whereas 57.4% ( <i>n</i>  = 132) of them were female. The brain tumor was the least common in the pediatric group (0 to 10 years old) with only 3.5% ( <i>n</i>  = 8).
