Our investigation confirms the reliability of optic nerve ultrasound as a non-invasive method to detect elevated ICP in intracranial hemorrhage patients. ONSD measurements proved to have a good reproducibility. ONSD changes almost concurrently with CSF pressure variations.

Preoperative brain mapping is useful when planning awake surgery to estimate the relationship between the tumor and functional brain regions. However, these techniques cannot directly lead the surgeon during resection. Intraoperative brain mapping is necessary for safe and maximal resection and to guarantee a satisfying neurological outcome. This multimodal approach is more aggressive, leads to better outcomes, and should be used routinely for resection of lesions in eloquent brain regions.

date, a total of 10-patients (5 Female, mean age 61 ± 9.5 years) who received both SCS and PNFS for the treatment of their pain were analyzed. At baseline, a mean score of 7.6 ± 1.4 (NRS) was reported which reduced to 2.7 ±1.3 (n = 4.9) at last follow-up (median = 516 days). Data collection and analysis is still ongoing, and updated, new results will be presented. Conclusions Results of this observational case-series so far demonstrate that patients who use PNFS along-with SCS for treatment of chronic pain can achieve significant and clinical meaningful pain relief.
