Embryologic studies revealed that it is common to encounter different histological subtypes of FT pathology. However, the presence of peripheral nerve cells in the FT is important for neurosurgical practice due to the risk of sectioning a functional structure during surgery. In our analysis, we demonstrated the high frequency of PNF in FT pathology. However, since none of the patients showed any symptoms of neurologic deterioration, we considered that these fibers were probably not functional. Our findings emphasize the importance of neuromonitoring in TCS surgery. Although we consider that most of the fibers are probably not functional, neuromonitoring after surgery may prevent serious complications.
This study suggests that infliximab may have a neuroprotective effect through its anti-apoptotic property on hydrocephalus induced optic pathways injury.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
