Abstract Introduction The precise identification of anatomical structures and lesions in the brain is the main objective of neuronavigation systems. Brain shift, displacement of the brain after opening the cisterns and draining cerebrospinal fluid, is one of the limitations of such systems. Objective To describe a simple method to avoid brain shift in craniotomies for subcortical lesions. Method We used the surgical technique hereby described in five patients with subcortical neoplasms. We performed the neuronavigation-guided craniotomies with the conventional technique. After opening the dura and exposing the cortical surface, we placed two or three arachnoid anchoring sutures to the dura mater, close to the edges of the exposed cortical surface. We placed these anchoring sutures under microscopy, using a 6–0 mononylon wire. With this technique, the cortex surface was kept close to the dura mater, minimizing its displacement during the approach to the subcortical lesion. In these five cases we operated, the cortical surface remained close to the dura, anchored by the arachnoid sutures. All the lesions were located with a good correlation between the handpiece tip inserted in the desired brain area and the display on the navigation system. Conclusion Arachnoid anchoring sutures to the dura mater on the edges of the cortex area exposed by craniotomy constitute a simple method to minimize brain displacement (brain-shift) in craniotomies for subcortical injuries, optimizing the use of the neuronavigation system.

Springback effects, as occuring in sheet metal forming processes, pose a challenge to manufacturingplanning: the as-built part may deviate from the desired shape rendering it unusable forits intended purpose. A compensation can be achieved by modifying the forming tools to counteractthe shape deviations. A prerequisite to compensation is the knowledge of correspondences (ui; vj),between points ui on the desired and vj on the actual shape. FEM-based simulation software providesmeans to both virtually predict springback and directly obtain correspondences. In case of experimentalprototyping and validation, however, finding correspondences requires solving a registrationproblem: given a test shape Q (scan points of the as-built geometry) and a reference shape R (CADdata of the desired geometry), a transformation S has to be found to fit both objects. Correspondencesbetween S(Q) and R may then be computed based on a metric.If S is restricted to Euclidean transformations, then S(Q) results in a rigid transformation, whereevery point of Q is subject to the same translation and rotation. Local geometric deviations due tospringback are not considered, often resulting in invalid correspondences. In this contribution, a nonrigidregistration method for the efficient analysis of springback is therefore presented. The test shape Q is iteratively partitioned into segments with respect to an error metric. The segments are locally registeredusing rigid registration subject to regulatory conditions. Resulting discontinuities are addressedby minimization of the deformation energy. The error metric uses information about the deviationscomputed based on the correspondences of the previous iteration, e.g. maximum errors or changes ofthe sign. This adaptive per-segment registration allows appropriate correspondences to be determinedeven under local geometric deviations.

Object The goal of this study was to focus on the tendency of brain shift during stereotactic neurosurgery and the shift's impact on the unilateral and bilateral implantation of electrodes for deep brain stimulation (DBS). Methods Eight unilateral and 10 bilateral DBS electrodes at 10 nuclei ventrales intermedii and 18 subthalamic nuclei were implanted in patients at Kaizuka Hospital with the aid of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging–guided and microelectrode-guided methods. Brain shift was assessed as changes in the 3D coordinates of the anterior and posterior commissures (AC and PC) with MR images before and immediately after the implantation surgery. The positions of the implanted electrodes, based on the midcommissural point and AC–PC line, were measured both on x-ray films (virtual position) during surgery and the postoperative MR images (actual position) obtained on the 7th day postoperatively. Results Contralateral and posterior shift of the AC and PC were the characteristics of unilateral and bilateral procedures, respectively. The authors suggest the following. 1) The first unilateral procedure elicits a unilateral air invasion, resulting in a contralateral brain shift. 2) During the second procedure in the bilateral surgery, the contralateral shift is reset to the midline and, at the same time, the anteroposterior support by the contralateral hemisphere against gravity is lost due to a bilateral air invasion, resulting in a significant posterior (caudal) shift. Conclusions To note the tendency of the brain to shift is very important for accurate implantation of a DBS electrode or high frequency thermocoagulation, as well as for the prediction of therapeutic and adverse effects of stereotactic surgery.
