In Japan, brain docking has enhanced the detection of unruptured intracranial aneurysms in healthy adults. At our institution, surgical clipping is the first-line treatment for unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIA). In this study, the differences in neurological and radiological outcomes, as well as cognitive and psychological results, between standard clipping and keyhole clipping for these aneurysms detected via brain docking were evaluated. The study included 131 aneurysms detected via "brain dock." Of these, 65 were treated with keyhole clipping surgery (keyhole clipping group), and 66 were treated with standard clipping surgery (standard clipping group). Evaluations at 3 months included the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, modified Rankin Scale, Mini-Mental State Examination, Hasegawa's Dementia Scale-revised, Beck Depression Inventory, Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression, and radiological abnormalities. The mean operative time and postoperative hospitalization period were significantly shorter in the keyhole clipping group than in the standard clipping group (p < 0.001). Between the groups, no significant differences in postoperative neurological complications or radiological abnormalities were found. The keyhole clipping group demonstrated slightly but significantly better Beck Depression Inventory and Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression scores than the standard clipping group (Beck Depression Inventory, p = 0.046; Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression, p < 0.01). Both the Beck Depression Inventory and Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression scores at 3 months were significantly enhanced (p < 0.001) in the keyhole clipping group. These findings propose that keyhole clipping could be considered a new therapeutic option for small UIA detected via brain docking.

This study describes hyperintensity of dural venous sinuses due to jugular venous reflux (JVR) and their respiration- and position-induced changes, and discusses the significance of this phenomenon in endovascular treatment.

A 62-year-old male presented with a rare case of possible neuro-Sweet Disease (NSD) mimicking brain tumor in the medulla oblongata, manifesting as numbness in the bilateral upper and lower extremities, gait disturbance, dysarthria, and swallowing disturbance which gradually deteriorated over 3 months. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a mass lesion in the medulla oblongata, extending to the upper cervical cord with rim enhancement by gadolinium. The preoperative diagnosis was brain tumor, such as glioma, or inflammatory disease. His neurological symptoms gradually deteriorated, so biopsy was performed through the midline suboccipital approach. Histological examination showed infiltration of inflammatory cells, mainly lymphocytes and macrophages. Human leukocyte antigen typing showed Cw1 and B54 which strongly suggested possible NSD. Steroid pulse therapy was started after surgery and the clinical symptoms improved. Neurosurgeons should be aware of inflammatory disorders such as NSD mimicking brain tumor.
