Abstract: This issue of Acta Neurochirururgica presents the latest surgical and experimental approaches to the craniovertebral junction (CVJ). It discusses anterior midline (transoral transnasal), posterior (CVJ craniectomy laminectomy, laminotomy, instrumentation and fusion), posterolateral (far lateral) and anterolateral (extreme lateral) approaches using state-of-the-art supporting tools. It especially highlights open surgery, microsurgical techniques, neuronavigation, the O-arm system, intraoperative MR, neuromonitoring and endoscopy. Endoscopy represents a useful complement to the standard microsurgical approach to the anterior CVJ: it can be used transnasally, transorally and transcervically; and it provides information for better decompression without the need for soft palate splitting, hard palate resection, or extended maxillotomy. While neuronavigation allows improved orientation in the surgical field, intraoperative fluoroscopy helps to recognize residual compression. Under normal anatomic conditions, there are virtually no surgical limitations to endoscopically assisted CVJ and this issue provides valuable information for the new generation of surgeons involved in this complex and challenging field of neurosurgery.

Abstract: This book contains articles presented at the 12th International Conference on Cerebral Vasospasm, held in Lucerne, Switzerland, in July 2013. The included papers represent a balanced cross-section of the enormous progress achieved in basic and clinical research on aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage and its sequelae, including early neurovascular events and delayed cerebral vasospasm. The section on basic research covers a broad range of aspects, from pathophysiology and neuroprotection in early brain injury through to macro- and microcirculatory disturbances, inflammation and blood-brain barrier disruption, spreading depolarization, and the role of nitric oxide. There is a special focus on animal models for the study of acute events after experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage. The section on clinical topics encompasses imaging and endovascular management, surgical innovations and techniques, management and monitoring in neurocritical care, the status of clinical trials, and factors involved in aneurysm formation. This edition is of interest not only for basic researchers but also for clinicians who wish to apply state-of-the-art knowledge to the research and management of this devastating condition.

Contents: Basic Research Topics: Early Brain Injury: Pathophysiology -- Early Brain Injury: Neuroprotection -- Macro- and Microcirculatory Disturbance -- Inflammation and Blood-Brain-Barrier Disruption -- Spreading Depolarization: From Bench to Bedside and Back -- Nitric Oxide: From Bench to Bedside. Clinical Topics: Imaging and Endovascular Management -- Treatment: Surgical Innovations and Techniques -- Neurocritical Care: Management -- Neurocritical Care: Monitoring -- Clinical Trials: Current Status and the Way forward -- Aneurysm Formation: Morphology, Environment, and Genetics.

Abstract: Since its introduction about sixty years ago, stereotactic and functional neurosurgery has evolved into a fascinating and interdisciplinary endeavor that combines modern neurosurgery, neurobiology, and neuroimaging with innovative diagnostic and treatment strategies. In this collection, acknowledged experts from Europe and North and South America present their scientific and clinical experience in stereotactic and functional neurosurgery for movement disorders and brain tumors. The contributions present a wide range from the beginnings of human stereotactic neurosurgery to the most modern molecular and restorative strategies to treat diseases of the human nervous system. They clearly demonstrate that the discipline is still young and dynamic with alternative and sometimes competing strategies whose evaluation is underway. They also document that operative lesioning techniques such as thalamotomies, though still chosen under certain circumstances, have been succeeded by novel neuromodulation techniques such as deep brain stimulation in the great majority of clinical cases.

Contents: The birth of human stereotactic surgery -- Functional neurosurgery in Parkinson's disease: a long journey from destruction over modulation towards restauration -- Improving MRT image quality in patients with movement disorders -- STN Stimulation in general anaesthesia: evidence beyond "evidence-based medicine" -- The impact of multichannel microelectrode recording (MER) in deep brain stimulation of the basal ganglia -- A comparison between stereotactic targeting methods of the subthalamic nucleus in cases with Parkinson's disease -- Behind the screen: pseudobulbar symptoms after deep brain stimulation -- Psychiatric side effects of bilateral deep brain stimulation for movement disorders -- Active stimulation site of nucleus accumbens deep brain stimulation in obsessive-compulsive disorder is localized in the ventral internal capsule -- Functional neurosurgery for secondary dystonia: indications and long-term results -- Deep brain stimulation of the ventrolateral thalamic base and posterior subthalamic area in dystonic head tremor -- Intra-operative transdural electric stimulation in awake patient: Target refining for motor cortex stimulation -- Restorative strategies for the dopaminergic nigrostriatal projection pathway -- Some recent trends and further promising directions in functional neurosurgery -- Impact of automated hotspot detection for 18FET PET-guided stereotactic biopsy -- Interstitial radiosurgery with Iodine-125 seeds in the treatment of brain metastases, glial tumours, and benign intracranial lesions.
