PLANNING THE MICROSURGICAL MYELOTOMY IN INTRAMEDULLARY TUMORS OR CYSTS BY INTRAOPERATIVE NEUROMONITORING IZBIRA MIKROKIRURŠKE MIELOTOMIJE PRI OPERACIJAH TUMORJEV IN CIST V HRBTENJAČI S POMOČJO INTRAOPERATIVNEGA NEVROMONITORINGA

Borut Prestor Peter Golob

Background. Surgical approach to the intra- medullary tumors and cavities are microsurgical techniques of dorsal myelotomies, which entails the risk of damage to the dorsal columns and the central spinal cord gray matter. The aim of the study is to analyze the clinical sensory dysfunction before surgery and the changes of the intraoperative SEP (somatosensory potentials) before myelotomy. These data would be of help to neurosurgeons in planning the myelotomy - dorsomedial or dorsolateral.

Captive Bolt Gun-Related Vascular Injury: A Single Center Experience

Diagnostics (2024)

Jure Pešak Andrej Porčnik Borut Prestor

This article investigates the clinical and radiological characteristics of captive bolt gun head injuries, a rare form of low-velocity penetrating brain injury. Eleven consecutive patients were included in the study. Vascular injuries and the rate of infection were systematically analyzed. Radiological findings reveal common bolt trajectories in the anterior cranial fossa, with identified risk factors for a poor outcome including trajectory crossing midline, hematocephalus, and paranasal sinus involvement. Only one patient had a good outcome. Despite meticulous microsurgical techniques, this study highlights often unfavorable clinical outcomes in captive bolt gun injuries, with vascular injury identified as a potential contributing risk factor for a poor outcome. Knowledge of variant vascular tree anatomy and corresponding vascular territory is important. To avoid potential vascular injuries, a complete removal of bone fragments was not always performed and it did not increase the rate of infection, challenging the conventional wisdom advocating for the complete removal of bone fragments. These findings contribute novel insights into captive bolt gun-related injuries, paving the way for further research.

Intra-operative spinal cord neuromonitoring in patients operated on for intramedullary tumors and syringomyelia

Neurological Research (1999)

Borut Prestor Peter Golob

Intra-operative neuromonitoring is of great help to the neurosurgeon and enables him to operate more precisely and with less risk of post-operative neurological deficit. The purpose of the study was to define the changes of the somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP) elements in intramedullary tumors and syringomyelia, and to show the correlation between the changes of the elements and the location of the lesions in the spinal cord. Thirty patients with pain syndromes, intramedullary tumors and syringomyelia were operated on the spinal cord. The methodology of the intra-operative neuromonitoring was based on electrical stimulation of peripheral mixed nerve (tibial and median), and on intra-operative subpial recording of conducted and interneuronic SEP from the dorsal surface of the spinal cord. The recordings in pain syndrome cases were normal, and were compared with recordings obtained in syringomyelia and tumors. The most stable element of the conducted SEP are the initial negative waves that originate in the spinocerebellar tract. Deterioration of the negative high amplitude potentials is the most sensitive indicator of damage to the somatosensory system of the spinal cord, and indicates damage to the dorsal columns. The N11 and N14 waves are the most stable elements of the cervical and lumbosacral interneuronic SEP, and most probably originate in the dorsal root entry zone. Changes of the NI3 and NI7 elements of interneuronic SEP suggest damage to the spinal cord gray matter, and are most frequently changed in intramedullary lesions. High frequency waves seen on N13 or Ml 7 probably reflect the somatosensory long tracts, and are even better seen in syringomyelia and pure intramedullary tumors. Changes in the elements of interneuronic and conductive SEP enable us to localize the anatomical site of the lesion, which is of great help to the operating neurosurgeon.
