Objective: Glioblastoma (GBM) patients are at particularly high risk for thrombotic complications. In the event of a postoperative pulmonary embolism, therapeutic anticoagulation (tAC) is indispensable. The impact of therapeutic anticoagulation on recurrence pattern in GBM is unknown to date.

Objective: Outcome prognostication represents a crucial step during acute care of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Cerebellar hemorrhage represents the minority of ICH, requiring special considerations in this posterior fossa pathology.

Objective: Dysphagia is a common and severe symptom of traumatic brain injury (TBI) affecting up to 78% of patients. It is associated with pneumonia, increased morbidity and mortality. Although subdural hematoma (SDH) accounts for over 50%, the occurrence of dysphagia in this subtype of TBI[for full text, please go to the a.m. URL], 72.

Objective: Glioblastoma (GBM) is a cancer type with high thrombogenic potential and GBM patients are therefore at a particularly high risk for thrombotic events. To date only limited data on anticoagulation management after pulmonary embolism (PE) in GBM is available and the use of DOACs remain off-labe.l[for full text, please go to the a.m. URL], 72.

Objective: Pineal cysts are benign lesions, which mostly remain stable over years. Whether patients should be treated surgically or managed conservatively is still not fully understood. Hence, we report about of our experience, collected over 25 years and analyze the literature focusing on treatment[for full text, please go to the a.m. URL], 71.

Objective: Angioarchitectur and hemodynamic conditions play an important role in the hemorrhage risk in brain arteriovenous malformations. Knowledge of hemodynamics of blood flow is required for risk assessment and treatment options. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the number or[for full text, please go to the a.m. URL], 71. Jahrestagung der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Neurochirurgie (DGNC), 9.

Objective: Early brain injury (EBI) after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is associated with a poor prognosis. A key factor for EBI is cerebral edema. The Subarachnoid hemorrhage Early Brain Edema Score (SEBES) is a semiquantitative score to measure cerebral edema in cranial CT.1 Until now, only [for full text, please go to the a.m. URL], 70.

Objective: Blood pressure management in patients with severe subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and refractory hypertensive therapy is demanding and may require the careful use of additional drugs to elevate mean arterial pressure (>110 mmHG) during cerebral vasospasm (CVS) time.

Objective: Cerebral vasospasm (CVS) after a ruptured arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is rarely reported. The aim of the present study is to evaluate different bleeding patterns in AVM hemorrhage and the incidence of CVS for risk and treatment stratification.

Objective: To clip or coil has been matter of debates for several years and is the domain of interdisciplinary decision making. Regarding wide neck aneurysm (WNA), there has been several studies presenting outcome of endovascular treatment, however, the surgical outcome has still been elusive.

Objective: Posttraumatic epileptic seizures (PTS) are a serious complication in patients with subdural haematoma (SDH). However, to date, several studies have shown discordances about SDH-associated seizures in terms of incidence, risk factors and prophylactic antiepileptic treatment.

Objective: Whereas data of follow-up imaging after endovascular procedures is widely available, data after microsurgical clipping is rare. Nowadays, due to improved techniques in in neuro-imaging (e.g. 3D angiography), neck remnants are identified more often.
