unt were congenital hydrocephalus in 70 (46.4%), post infectious hydrocephalus in 57 (37.7%), hydrocephalus due to tumor in 22 (14.6%), and post traumatic hydrocephalus in two (1.4%) patients. Among the total number of patients, 85 patients (55.6%) were done as elective cases and 66 patients (44.4%) were done as emergency cases. Complications were encountered in 30 patients (19.87%) during the follow-up of 30 days. Complications occurred between day 1 and day 20 of follow-up with a mean of 9.10 ± 1.69 2SD days. Conclusion VP shunt is the most widely used treatment for HDC, but is predisposed to complications and almost every fifth case of VP shunt comes across with complications. Shunt blockage, infections and abdominal wound-related complications are common earlier complications in pediatric patients with hydrocephalus.Objective To determine the impact of different adjuvant strategies on outcomes in women with early-stage uterine serous carcinoma (USC). Methods Our retrospective database for women with endometrial carcinoma was queried for women with 2009 International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stages I-II USC who underwent surgical staging between January 1991 and April 2019 followed by adjuvant management (observation, radiation therapy (RT), chemotherapy (CT), or combined modality treatment (CRT)). Chi-square tests were performed to compare differences in outcome by type of adjuvant management. Recurrence-free survival (RFS), disease-specific survival (DSS), and overall survival (OS) were assessed by Kaplan-Meier and log-rank tests. Univariate and multivariate analyses (MVA) were performed to identify statistically significant predictors of survival endpoints. Results We identified 171 women who met our inclusion criteria. The median follow-up time was 70.5 months. Seventy-five percent of the study clvement, positive peritoneal cytology, and receipt of chemotherapy alone/observation were independent predictors of worse outcomes. The sole independent predictor of worse RFS on MVA was the presence of positive peritoneal cytology. Conclusion In this cohort of women with early-stage USC who underwent surgical staging, adjuvant radiation treatment with or without chemotherapy was associated with improved survival endpoints and trended toward improved recurrence rates.Wilson's disease is a complex multi-organ disease characterized by impaired biliary excretion of copper and resulting deposition of excess copper in the liver and other organs. It has a wide range of clinical presentations, and diagnosis often requires a high degree of clinical suspicion, especially in patients with multiple other comorbidities. We present the case of a 37-year-old woman with a complex medical and psychiatric history who was admitted for chronic diarrhea, hepatic enzyme elevation, electrolyte abnormalities, hyperammonemia, and methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia. She was eventually found to have low serum ceruloplasmin level and elevated urine copper levels. Though confirmatory liver biopsy was not performed due to bowel wall rupture and septic shock, most of her symptoms and lab abnormalities could be explained by an underlying diagnosis of Wilson's disease. We present this case primarily as a cautionary tale. This patient was not lacking in medical attention prior to this prolonged hospitalization; however, her psychiatric issues and fibromyalgia management were the predominant foci during her frequent primary care office visits and likely distracted from the patient's chronic laboratory abnormalities. More vigilant laboratory evaluation of underlying medical conditions in psychiatric patients may be warranted in order to prevent serious complications of such conditions. To provide guidelines to healthcare workers for performing a focused neurological examination via telemedicine during the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-2019) pandemic. We reviewed our department's outpatient clinic visits after the implementation of a telemedicine protocol in response to the COVID-19 crisis. Crossover rates from telehealth to in-person visits were evaluated and guidelines for performing a telemedicine neurological exam were created based on the consensus of 16 neurosurgical attending providers over a four-month period. From March 23, 2020 to July 20, 2020, some 2157 telehealth visits were performed in our department. Some 26 were converted to in-person visits by the provider request with the most cited reason for conversion being the need for a more detailed patient evaluation. Based on these experiences, we created a graphical tutorial to address the key components of the neurological exam with adaptations specific to the telehealth visit. In response to the global coronavirus pandemic, telemedicine has become an integral part of neurosurgeons' daily practice. Telemedicine failures remain low but primarily occur due to a need for more comprehensive evaluations. We provide guidelines for the neurosurgical exam during telehealth visits in an effort to assuage some of these issues.

However, it retains relevance in its immediacy, minimal preparation, and power source independence. We present a case of clinically detected continuous murmur raising specific diagnostic possibilities not accounted for advanced imaging. Further testing revealed a large supracristal ventricular septal defect (VSD) and aortic regurgitation (AR), allowing the surgeon to anticipate combined septal and valvular surgery. This report highlights the value of cardiac auscultation as a guide and validation for imaging. The absence of lesions on imaging is not proof of lesion absence.Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) causes visual involvement secondary to papilledema but rarely presents with acute gross diminution of vision. Anemia is associated with IIH. Acute hemorrhage-related anemia causing severe sudden onset bilateral visual loss due to IIH has not been previously reported. A 28-year-old female attempted the first-trimester abortion by self-administration of oral drugs. She presented with bleeding per vaginum, followed by bilateral visual loss. Symptoms pertaining to intracranial hypertension were mild. Examination revealed pallor, normal hemodynamic parameters, bilaterally dilated pupils, bilateral lateral rectus palsy, and only perception of light in both eyes. Lumbar puncture demonstrated high pressures; neuroimaging was noncontributory. Blood transfusion and supportive therapy in the form of acetazolamide and pulse methylprednisolone improved her vision in the right eye to six of 24; optic nerve sheath fenestration was performed in the left eye. During follow-up, her vision improved to six of 24 (right) and two of 60 (left), respectively.
