[Special developments in neurosurgery].
Increase of intracranial pressure is an acute danger for the patient's life. Since direct measurement of ICP is used, early identification of dangerous dysfunctions of ICP is possible. Surgical treatment of vascular malformations involves less risks since microsurgical methods and "tailor made" clips have been applied together with controlled hypotension. Transrhinoseptal approach in surgery of hormonally inactive and active adenomas has lowered the lethality rate essentially and improved the functional results. New indication in spinal surgery: Treatment of spinal claudication resulting from a central spinal stenosis, by operative decompression of the spinal canal.
