DOI: 10.1007/s10072-020-04615-y
Abstract: Dear Editor: Chronic lymphocytic inflammation with pontine perivascular enhancement responsive to steroids (CLIPPERS), which was first described 10 years ago, is considered to be a steroidresponsive relapsing-remitting brainstem inflammatory disorder of unknown origin [1]. Extrapontine… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2018.09.077
Abstract: OBJECTIVE Apparently similar intra-axial pontine lesions may demand distinct surgical approaches. Selecting the optimal approach reduces unnecessary manipulation of tracts and nuclei. This study aims to reveal a quantitative analysis of main surgical corridors dealing… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/ons/opy007
Abstract: BACKGROUND Brainstem cavernous malformations (cavernomas) in children have a high risk of hemorrhage and neurological deterioration. This risk is magnified if the child has a genetic predisposition for cavernoma formation. The surgical management is challenging… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/ons/opz380
Abstract: BACKGROUND AND IMPORTANCE Brainstem lesions are challenging to manage, and surgical options have been controversial. Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) has been used for local control, but life-threatening toxicities from 0% to 9.5% have been reported. Several… read more here.

DOI: 10.3171/2022.1.jns212690
Abstract: OBJECTIVE Brainstem cavernous malformations (BSCMs) are complex, difficult to access, and highly variable in size, shape, and position. The authors have proposed a novel taxonomy for pontine cavernous malformations (CMs) based upon clinical presentation (syndromes)… read more here.
