All cases utilized a single balloon delivery catheter for detachable balloon deployment (GOLDBAL, BALT Extrusion, France). We analyzed demographic, clinical, imaging, and angiographic data, including outcomes, complications, and factors associated with successful embolization. <b>Results</b>  Thirty patients were treated with detachable balloon embolization. The mean age of the patients was 41.1 years (range 17-65 years). The median duration of symptom was 2.0 months (range 0.25-60 months). The most common mechanism of injury is motorcycle accident (83.3%). Nearly all patients had eye redness and proptosis. Angiographic data indicated 29 patients (96.7%) had drainage to the inferior petrosal sinus, 28 (93.3%) had drainage to the superior ophthalmic vein, and 8 (26.7%) had drainage to the superior petrosal sinus. Five cases (16.7%) were classified as small-sized fistula, 19 (63.3%) as medium-sized, and 6 (20%) as large-sized. Regarding the location of the fistula, 8 cases (26.7%) were found in the horizontal segment, while 22 cases (73.3%) were located in the ascending or genu segment of the cavernous internal carotid artery (ICA). Among the 24 patients (80%) who underwent successful embolization, the ICA was preserved in 23 out of 24 patients (95.8%). The remaining patient had ICA occlusion but exhibited no clinical symptoms.

However, the extremely narrow viewing angle through this approach requires frequent adjustments of the operating table and microscope for optimal visualization. Illumination via such a small opening in such deep-seated location was another limiting factor. Keeping these problems and cumbersomeness of microscope in mind, experienced surgeons gradually shifted over to purely endoscopic or endoscope-assisted supraorbital keyhole approaches. But it was also limited due to high cost, steep learning curve, and difficulties faced in blood-filled cavities. To circumvent these limitations of the microscope and endoscope, the supraorbital keyhole approach can be accomplished with an exoscope (ExSOKHA). Although various cranial procedures using exoscope have become well established in contemporary times, there is paucity of studies and literature dedicated specifically to this minimally invasive supraorbital keyhole approach using the exoscope only. Here, we aim to study the feasibility and usefulness of the exoscope in targeting skull base lesions via the supraorbital keyhole approach to determine if it can be used in learning while transitioning from the microscope to the endoscope, with the primary objective being the user friendliness of the exoscope in the SOKHA technique. &lt;b&gt;Materials and Methods&lt;/b&gt;  This prospective observational study was conducted in the department of neurosurgery over a period of 7 years. The sample size was 50. The study utilized an exoscope and support arm-2D VITOM rigid-lens telescope (Model 28095 VA, Karl Storz Endoscopy, Tuttlingen, Germany) with a 10-mm outer diameter and a shaft length of 14 cm, light source (Xenon Nova 300, Karl Storz GmBH and Co., Tuttlingen, Germany), camera head, video display monitor, and a holding arm. &lt;b&gt;Results&lt;/b&gt;  Out of 50 cases, the majority were pituitary adenomas (30%) and meningiomas (38%), with aneurysms comprising 6%; only 4 cases (8%) had inadvertent frontal sinus opening and 2 cases (4%) had postoperative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak. The duration of surgery ranged from 2 to 4 hours, with the shortest being for aneurysm clipping/CSF rhinorrhea and the longest for meningioma and pituitary adenoma excision. Intraoperatively, exoscope repositioning for adjustment was required for a maximum of nine times, which significantly reduced the overall operative time. Eight cases had near total excision; the remaining tumors had complete excision and the aneurysms had complete clipping. Hospital stay ranged from 4 to 7 days, with mean intensive care unit (ICU) stay of 3 days. None of the patients had any surgical cosmetic deformity.

According to the Monroe-Kellie doctrine, confined space in the cranium causes any change in CSF volume contributing to significant intracranial pressure changes, which cause a variety of pathologies and symptoms. We, hereby, present a case of a 33-year-old gentleman who after a motorcycle road traffic accident came to us complaining of persistent headache and neck pain with subdural hematoma (SDH) like presentation, clinically and radiologically, but was reevaluated and diagnosed as traumatic intracranial hypotension and successfully managed surgically after that. Hygromas are believed to be compensatory enlargement of the subdural space due to the loss of CSF volume. The true mechanism of the development of SDH or hygroma due to intracranial hypotension is yet to be hypothesized but provisionally described by a rupture of the bridging veins by being pulled away from the dura because of the low intracranial pressure (ICP) and brain descent. Many prior cases in the literature are shown to have treated the patient with immediate burr hole and decompression of SDH, but this paradoxically worsens the patient due to further lowering of ICP. The causes of prolonged postconcussion headaches are often unidentified, of which intracranial hypotension caused by a CSF leak is potentially under-recognized. In such cases, bilateral SDH with mass effect must be ruled out of any CSF leak before attempting the lifesaving decompressive surgery, as it may paradoxically lead to further morbidity and mortality of the patient.</p>","PeriodicalId":94300,"journal":{"name":"Asian journal of neurosurgery","volume":"20 2","pages":"427-430"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12136962/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144251767","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
