Background Transorbital intracranial penetrating injury is rare. Damage caused by a huge metallic foreign body is very critical and life-threatening. Method We report an extremely rare case of transorbital intracranial penetrating metal strip (a car windshield wiper), which has not previously been reported in the literature. Results Emergency craniotomy was performed; the object was removed successfully, and the patient's life was saved. Conclusion With the life-threatening penetrating brain injury caused by a huge foreign body, prompt surgical treatment and comprehensive postoperative treatment are important to save patients' lives.

“Surgical Insights for the Non-surgeon,” or SINS, is composed of several short chapters intended to cover fundamental surgical knowledge for non-surgeons. The authors focus on surgical pearls, operative insights, and applied anatomy. In Chapter 12 of this series, the authors address the brain and neurosurgery Part One.

1. Changes in systemic haemodynamics and organ blood flow were measured in conscious rabbits after various doses of intravenous sodium meclofenamate, an inhibitor of prostaglandin cyclo-oxygenase. 2. Meclofenamate had no effect on arterial pressure or cardiac output but caused a dose-dependent fall in renal blood flow. 3. Meclofenamate also reduced adrenal perfusion but, in contrast, caused a dose-dependent increase in blood flow to the brain, bronchial and hepatic circulation and to the testis. No effect was demonstrated on other organs studied. 4. The effect on the cerebral circulation was observed at the lowest dose of meclofenamate (0.75 mg/kg). Higher total doses were necessary for an effect on the renal and bronchial (3 mg/kg) and testicular and hepatic arteries (6 mg/kg). 5. The results suggest a variety of local vasomotor influences of renal and non-renal prostaglandins in conscious rabbits.

Although he was not the first man to operate on the brain, Sir Victor Horsley was the world's first surgeon appointed to a hospital post to perform brain surgery, which happened in 1886 at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, Queen Square, London. The authors examined the patient records between 1886 and 1899 and found 151 operations performed by Sir Victor Horsley at the National Hospital, including craniotomies, laminectomies, and nerve divisions. The authors present the outcome data and case illustrations of cerebral tumor resections and laminectomies from the nineteenth century. Outcomes and notable pioneering achievements are highlighted.

Circulatory Disturbances

To assess the adequacy of anesthetic protection during surgical interventions on the brain and in the postoperative period, it is necessary to monitor the central hemodynamics and body temperature regime. Therefore, we performed such control in 52 patients aged from 17 to 60 years old during the operative interventions on the brain under the conditions of intravenous balanced anesthesia with the use of sodium oxybutyrate or nitrous oxide and during 14-16 days in the postoperative period. All patients underwent bone-plastic craniotomy with opening of the dura mater. In 32 patients a brain tumor was removed, in 20 patients a subdural hematoma and cerebral detritus were removed.

Spherical Parallel Manipulator

Nowadays, most of the brain surgery operations are carried out by utilizing classical surgery methodologies and equipment. Although related literature includes studies on the robotization of brain surgery systems by the help of technological advancements, these applications mostly focused on the integration of robot manipulators that are designed for industrial automation into the medical area. Thus it can be clearly seen that, there exist lack of robot manipulators that are specifically designed for brain surgery applications, have necessary precision requirements and workspace constraints. In light of this, evaluating its preprototype performance, current study focuses on the improvement of a spherical parallel manipulator structure that was designed for positioning in robotic brain biopsy by taking operation efficiency, system reliability, workspace constraints and ease of manufacturing into consideration.

In this chapter, a man with amnesia sparks a new era in memory research; monkeys play a matching game; and a 19th-century politician explains how he seemed so clever. But mainly we consider the nature of memory and amnesia. The ‘man with amnesia’ was named Henry Molaison, better known as H. M., and he suffered from debilitating epilepsy. Brain surgery alleviated his seizures, but it had a shocking side effect: amnesia. His memory loss led scientists down two roads: one exploring the memories he lost; the other identifying the brain areas needed for normal memory. In this book, we consider memory from a different angle, examining how it evolved. We begin with a recent history of memory science and some background material on two important concepts: representation and homology.
