Hyperthymesia is a form of exceptional memory in which someone can automatically recall personal events from dates in their life with exhaustive, vivid detail.The cause of hyperthymesia is unknown but is thought to be linked to differences in the amygdala and hippocampus of the brain, which process memories.
Steroids, also known as corticosteroids, are synthetic hormones that can help reduce swelling and inflammation in the body, which may help improve back pain.
Brain metastases from non-CNS malignancies are increasingly common due to enhanced screening and treatment. Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), including Gamma Knife (GK) and CyberKnife (CK), is preferred over whole brain radiation therapy for solitary or oligometastatic brain metastases. Radiation necrosis (RN) is a significant complication. This systematic review compares RN incidence after GK-SRS and CK-SRS.
Orbital cavernous hemangiomas (OCH) are rare benign vascular tumors that pose therapeutic challenges due to their proximity to critical visual structures. While surgical resection remains the standard of care, Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKRS) has emerged as a minimally invasive alternative. However, the optimal fractionation strategy, single-session versus hypofractionated treatment, remains unclear.
Intracranial cavernous malformations (CMs) are vascular lesions that can present with seizures, focal neurological deficits, and intracranial hemorrhage. Management options include observation, microsurgical resection, and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), with Gamma-Knife radiosurgery (GKRS) emerging as a minimally invasive alternative.
