    Abstract: There is a considerable discrepancy between the potential demand for neurosurgeons and the actual availability of such specialists not only in civilian settings but even more so in military operational environments. For this reason, the Department of Neurosurgery at the German Armed Forces Hospital in Ulm conducts courses for surgeons and orthopedists on the management of patients with neurotrauma. Twelve such courses have already taken place. Each course lasts 1 week. Participants can expect to gain the theoretical knowledge and practical skills they need to provide initial surgical care for patients with traumatic brain injuries and/or spinal trauma. Surgical techniques are practiced above all in pig and human cadavers. At the end of the course, participants with previous surgical knowledge should be able to independently perform a craniotomy, from the planning of the procedure to the closure of the wound. Former course participants have successfully used their neurosurgical knowledge in countries of deployment where they managed patients during teleconsultation sessions and helped repatriate, or even provided surgical treatment to, patients with traumatic brain injuries. In these situations, it was particularly helpful when the physician deployed abroad and the neurosurgeon in Germany knew each other personally. In the future, efforts will be made to combine telemedicine and neuronavigation in an attempt to further improve direct support for physicians under military deployment conditions.

    Abstract: In patients with hydrocephalus, the pressure settings of a Medos Hakim programmable valve may require adjustments even months after implantation. In some cases, however, adjustment proves to be impossible. The object of this study was to illuminate the reasons for reprogramming failures. Methods Data pertaining to the authors' experience with programmable valves at their clinic were obtained through retrospective review of patient records from 1992 to 1998 and prospectively collected from 1998 to 2006. Between 1992 and 2006, 585 Medos Hakim programmable valves were implanted at the authors' center, and reprogramming failure was observed in 12 of these 585 cases. The authors investigated and recorded the reasons for reprogramming failure. In cases in which the valves had to be explanted, the valves were returned to the manufacturer for further investigation and the results were recorded. Results In three of the 12 cases of reprogramming failure, the pressure settings could eventually be adjusted by placing the transmitter upside down against the flow direction. In the remaining nine cases, the valve had to be removed, yielding a rate of valve explantation of approximately 1.5% in this series. In two of these nine cases, the valve was found to be rotated longitudinally along its axis. In two cases the ratchet wheel had become loose and in one the radiopaque marker had become dislodged from the baseplate. Extensive deposits were identified macroscopically and microscopically within four explanted valves. Conclusions The reasons for failed reprogramming of Codman Medos Hakim valves as described in this article have not been mentioned in the literature so far. Failure of adjusting the pressure setting is a very rare event in a Medos Hakim programmable valve. The programming and adjustment mechanism appears to be very reliable. Valve replacement was required due to failed reprogramming in only a few cases.

    Abstract: In recent years, the authors have noticed a growing number of programmable valve defects at their institution. Therefore, they conducted this study to evaluate the increased incidence of malfunctioning valves. Methods They investigated all revisions that had been performed at their institution between 1994 and 2010 for dislodgement of the stator of a standard Medos Hakim programmable valve with a prechamber. Results Fifteen valves were removed because of dislodged stators. The valves had been implanted between May 16, 1993, and December 27, 2002, and were explanted between February 19, 2006, and January 22, 2010. Thus, the valves had been in place for a mean period of 11 years (median 11 years, range 7–14 years). The percentage of dislodged stators was almost 3% (15 of 546 valves). Particularly noteworthy is that all malfunctioning valves were found in children who had been younger than 1 year of age at the time of implantation. Conclusions Medos Hakim programmable valve malfunctions are rare events but should receive careful attention. When the pressure setting cannot be adjusted, a malfunction should always be suspected and radiographic imaging should be performed to assess the valve. Stator dislodgement is the most serious form of valve adjustment failure.

    Treatment of unresectable skull base meningiomas with somatostatin analogs

    Abstract: The standard surgical treatment for meningiomas is total resection, but the complete removal of skull base meningiomas can be difficult for several reasons. Thus, the management of certain meningiomas of the skull base—for example, those involving basal vessels and cranial nerves—remains a challenge. In recent reports it has been suggested that somatostatin (SST) administration can cause growth inhibition of unresectable and recurrent meningiomas. The application of SST and its analogs is not routinely integrated into standard treatment strategies for meningiomas, and clinical studies proving growth-inhibiting effects do not exist. The authors report on their experience using octreotide in patients with recurrent or unresectable meningiomas of the skull base. Methods Between January 1996 and December 2010, 13 patients harboring a progressive residual meningioma (as indicated by MR imaging criteria) following operative therapy were treated with a monthly injection of the SST analog octreotide (Sandostatin LAR [long-acting repeatable] 30 mg, Novartis). Eight of 13 patients had a meningioma of the skull base and were analyzed in the present study. Postoperative tumor enlargement was documented in all patients on MR images obtained before the initiation of SST therapy. All tumors were benign. No patient received radiation or chemotherapy before treatment with SST. The growth of residual tumor was monitored by MR imaging every 12 months. Results Three of the 8 patients had undergone surgical treatment once; 3, 2 times; and 2, 3 times. The mean time after the last meningioma operation (before starting SST treatment) and tumor enlargement as indicated by MR imaging criteria was 24 months. A total of 643 monthly cycles of Sandostatin LAR were administered. Five of the 8 patients were on SST continuously and stabilized disease was documented on MR images obtained in these patients during treatment (median 115 months, range 48–180 months). Three of the 8 patients interrupted treatment: after 60 months in 1 case because of tumor progression, after 36 months in 1 case because of side effects, and after 36 months in 1 case because the health insurance company denied cost absorption. Conclusions Although no case of tumor regression was detected on MR imaging, the study results indicated that SST analogs can arrest the progression of unresectable or recurrent benign meningiomas of the skull base in some patients. It remains to be determined whether a controlled prospective clinical trial would be useful.

    Abstract: The causal treatment of Chiari malformation Type I (CM-I) consists of removing the obstruction of CSF flow at the level of the foramen magnum. Cerebrospinal fluid flow can be visualized using dynamic phase-contrast MR imaging. Because there is only a paucity of studies evaluating CSF dynamics in the region of the spinal canal on the basis of preoperative and postoperative measurements, the authors investigated the clinical usefulness of cardiacgated phase-contrast MR imaging in patients with CM-I. Methods Ninety patients with CM-I underwent preoperative MR imaging of CSF pulsation. Syringomyelia was present in 59 patients and absent in 31 patients. Phase-contrast MR imaging of the entire CNS was used to investigate 22 patients with CM-I before surgery and after a mean postoperative period of 12 months (median 12 months, range 3–33 months). In addition to the dynamic studies, absolute flow velocities, the extension of the syrinx, and tonsillar descent were also measured. Results The changes in pulsation were highly significant in the region of the (enlarged) cistern (p = 0.0005). Maximum and minimum velocities (the pulsation amplitude) increased considerably in the region where the syrinx was largest in diameter. The changes of pulsation in these patients were significant in the subarachnoid space in all spinal segments but not in the syrinx itself and in the central canal. Conclusions The demonstration of CSF flow pulsation can contribute to assessments of surgical outcomes. The results presented here, however, raise doubts about current theories on the pathogenesis of syringomyelia.
