Primary Malignant Brain Tumor

Background: Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common primary malignant brain tumor in adults. Management includes surgical resection followed by chemoradiation, and prognosis remains poor. Surgical resection is not possible for some deep-seated or eloquent tumors. Laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) has emerged as a new, minimally invasive surgical option for deep-seated GBM. Case Description: We report a case of newly diagnosed thalamic GBM managed with LITT followed by radiation and chemotherapy. Conclusion: The patient remains well at 50-month post-LITT, indicating a potentially unique durability of LITT treatment in GBM.

✓ The authors report the cases of three patients with L-5 radiculopathy caused by extraforaminal entrapment of the L-5 spinal nerve at the lumbosacral tunnel; this structure comprises the lumbosacral ligament, the sacral ala, and the L-5 and S-1 vertebral bodies. All three patients suffered severe leg pain and neurological deficits compatible with L-5 radiculopathy. Decompressive surgery involved the microendoscopic partial resection of the sacral ala along the L-5 spinal nerve. All patients experienced immediate pain relief postoperatively. Microendoscopic partial resection of the sacral ala is an effective and minimally invasive surgical option for patients with extraforaminal entrapment of the L-5 spinal nerve.
