A pseudomeningocele is an abnormal collection of cerebrospinal fluid CSF that communicates with the CSF space around the brain or spinal cord . In contrast to a meningocele , in which the fluid is surrounded and confined by dura mater , in a pseudomeningocele, the fluid has no surrounding membrane but is contained in a cavity within the soft tissues. Pseudomeningocele may result after brain surgery , vertebral column spine surgery, or brachial plexus avulsion injury . Treatment for pseudomeningocele is conservative or may involve neurosurgical repair.

Clipping is a surgical procedure performed to treat an aneurysm . If the aneurysm is intracranial, a craniotomy is performed, and afterwards an Elgiloy Co Cr Ni Alloy Elgiloy Phynox or titanium Sugita clip is affixed around the aneurysm s neck. Surgical clipping was introduced by Walter Dandy of the Johns Hopkins Hospital in 1937. It consists of performing a craniotomy , exposing the aneurysm, and closing the base of the aneurysm with a clip chosen specifically for the site. The surgical technique has been modified and improved over the years. Surgical clipping has a lower rate of aneurysm recurrence after treatment. In January 2009, a team of doctors at UNC Hospital in Chapel Hill, North Carolina pioneered a new approach for aneurysm treatment clipping aneurysms through an endoscopic endonasal approach. The team was led by UNC neurosurgeon, Dr. Anand Germanwala. This procedure may be groundbreaking for patients with aneurysms near the skull base, as an approach through the nose is less invasive than traditional approaches. Two videos related to this procedure can be seen on the UNC Neurosurgery website http www.med.unc.edu neurosurgery news germanwala presents first aneurysm patient treated through nose and http www.med.unc.edu neurosurgery news video it takes two or more ref http www.med.unc.edu neurosurgery news germanwala presents first aneurysm patient treated through nose ref References reflist Category Neurosurgery treatment stub ... more details
