Intramedullary spinal cord metastasis of lung adenocarcinoma presenting as brown-sequard syndrome
TL;DR: This case is presented of a 59-year-old man presenting with Brown-Sequard syndrome and in whom metastatic lung adenocarcinoma to the spinal cord was subsequently discovered, one of only a very few where intramedullary tumor was the first manifestation of metastatic disease.

Endoscopic third ventriculostomy.
TL;DR: Endoscopic fenestration of the floor of the third ventricle creates an alternative route for CSF flow to the subarachnoid space via the prepeduncular cistern, which dissipates any pressure gradient on midline structures and may obviate the need for traditional CSF shunt diversion techniques in such settings.

Biological restoration of central nervous system architecture and function: part 3-stem cell- and cell-based applications and realities in the biological management of central nervous system disorders: traumatic, vascular, and epilepsy disorders.
TL;DR: Stem cell therapy has emerged as a promising novel therapeutic endeavor for traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, stroke, and epilepsy in experimental studies as mentioned in this paper, and a few preliminary clinical trials have further supported its safety and early efficacy after transplantation into humans.

Cervical spine dural arteriovenous fistula with coexisting spinal radiculopial artery aneurysm presenting as subarachnoid hemorrhage: case report.
TL;DR: Spinal cord aneurysms from a separate vascular distribution may coexist with spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas in the setting of spinal hemorrhage, especially in situations with an atypical clinical presentation.
19
Thymoma metastatic to the extradural spine.
TL;DR: A 45-year old man presenting with back pain and hypoesthesia twelve years after a diagnosis of thymoma is described, with a novel surgical approach allowing ventral spinal cord decompression through a posterior incision.
