Symptomatic Cavum Septum Pellucidum and Vergae Cyst: A Rare Case of Obstructive Hydrocephalus
By Elīna Runce et al.
🔗 https://brnw.ch/21wU13I

What happens when a congenital brain variant becomes a symptomatic cyst over time?

🧠 A 20-year-old patient with persistent headaches and dizziness was diagnosed with expanding CSP and CV cysts, resulting in obstructive hydrocephalus.
📸 Uniquely, imaging from 12 years earlier revealed these structures as benign variants—giving rare longitudinal insight into cyst evolution.
🔧 Neuroendoscopic fenestration provided full symptom resolution.

This case underlines the critical importance of long-term imaging follow-up and surgical intervention in managing rare but significant neurological anomalies.

Background and Clinical Significance: Cavum septum pellucidum (CSP) and cavum vergae (CV) are anatomical variations that may persist into childhood, adolescence, or adulthood. When these cavities become abnormally large, they are classified as cysts. The mechanism leading to expansion is poorly unde...

🦷 Can Dental Scans Help Detect Osteoporosis Early? 🦷

Osteoporosis affects millions worldwide but often goes unnoticed until serious fractures happen. A new study by Keisuke Seki et al. explores whether Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) — an advanced 3D dental imaging method — can improve detection by analyzing the Mandibular Cortical Index (MCI).

Could detailed 3D images of the jawbone reveal hidden signs of bone loss missed by traditional X-rays? How might this change early screening and prevention?

🧠💉 Can anesthesia shape your body’s response to surgical stress?

📖 Dive into this Open Access Review published in Reports (Anaesthesia Section):
"The Influence of Regional Anesthesia on the Systemic Stress Response"
🔗 https://brnw.ch/21wTIW7

🖋️ Authors: Tomasz Reysner et al. (Poznań University of Medical Sciences & University of Zielona Góra)

This review uncovers how regional anesthesia (RA)—like spinal and epidural techniques—can calm the storm of the body’s stress response to surgery.

✨ Highlights:

✔️Blocks the release of stress hormones like cortisol

✔️Reduces inflammation and cytokine storms

✔️Improves heart and lung stability

✔️Cuts down on opioid use and recovery time

✅ Especially powerful for elderly and high-risk patients, RA is emerging as a game-changer in perioperative care.

💡 Could this be the future of stress-free surgery?
