Evaluation of Headache Trends among Undergraduate First Responders for Medical Emergencies at Saudi University in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Background and objective: Headache is more common among students and may be a crucial indication of mental health; it can have a detrimental impact if left untreated, especially on students, and may affect their academic performance. Thus, this study aimed to assess the headache trends among undergraduate first responders for medical emergencies at Saudi University in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Method: A cross-sectional study was undertaken over three months in 2023 to analyze headache patterns among emergency medical services (EMS) students using prevalidated questionnaires. The data were collected via convenience sampling and processed with the IBM SPSS Statistics 26 program (IBM Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). Results: The current findings show that the majority 90.6% (n = 164) of the participants had at least one episode of headache in the last week. With regard to the number of days students had a headache during the last week, 21.5% (n = 39) of them reported 2 days, while 18.8% (n = 34) reported 1 day only. About slightly less than half (48.6% (n = 88)) of students reported that the usual site of the headache was frontal, followed by temporal 27.1% (n = 49), and 23.3% (n = 42) reported orbital. When students were asked whether a headache aggravates their routine activity, 40.3% agreed with this statement, and 44.2% of students reported that a headache causes them to avoid their routine activity (reading writing, attending college). The majority of the students considered taking analgesics (60.8%), followed by sleeping (26.5%), caffeine (14.4%), and herbal and alternative remedies (7.7%) for the relief of headaches. Although headache episodes were significantly associated with routine activities (reading writing, attending college) (p = 0.018, t = 2.282) daily activities (walking, running) (p = 0.022, t = 2.307). The findings showed that fourth-year EMS students were found to have higher headache pain intensity scores compared to other students (p = 0.046). Similarly, the pain intensity was significantly higher among the students between 1-3 and >7 episodes of headaches (p = 0.001) Conclusion: The findings of this study revealed that Saudi emergency medical services students suffer from headaches. However, the current findings revealed variation in the headache pain intensity scores concerning the year of study.

Efficacy of routine post-operative head computed tomography on cranial surgery patients outcome.

OBJECTIVE: To identify the role of routine postoperative head CT in changing postoperative management after elective craniotomies. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective study on adult patients who underwent cranial surgery. Exclusion criteria includes cranial CTs done postoperatively for urgent clinical indications, pediatric patients, CSF diversion procedures and sedated patients. Patients were placed into "positive" group if the physical assessment changed from the baseline in the form of clinical deterioration, and the "negative" group if the exam did not change. The data then were analyzed to identify which patients needed further medical or surgical management based on CT findings only with "negative" physical examination. RESULTS: Total of 222 were included in the study. 151 patients had negative physical examination. Only 8 out of 151 patients had positive CT findings. Two patients out of 222 (0.9%) had a negative physical exam and positive CT findings that required additional action that wouldn`t be done urgently without routine postoperative brain CT. Only one patient out of 222 (0.4%) who was re-operated urgently based CT findings only and negative physical examination. CONCLUSION: Routine postoperative routine brain CT did not alter the course of medical management, even in the presence of significant radiological findings.

Paradigms for single-patient multimodality treatment for cerebral aneurysms: single-center eleven-year experience.

Endovascular and surgical techniques are conventional options for treating intracranial aneurysms, but criteria for selecting an optimal approach for individual patients remain variable across practitioners and institutions. While endovascular and surgical approaches are generally used alone, both modalities combined in single patients can produce efficacious outcomes. The aim of this study was to evaluate outcomes of combined, concomitant endovascular and surgical modalities in the treatment of multiple and/or complex aneurysms in single patients. Indications, sequencing rationale, and categorization for multimodality treatments are reviewed. All intracranial aneurysms treated at our institution from 2004 to 2014 were reviewed. Single patients who had undergone concomitant endovascular and surgical treatments were eligible for participation in our study. Demographic data and clinical presentation parameters, including location, size, and morphological features of lesions, treatment sequencing, and outcomes were recorded. Our cohort consisted of 27 patients with 57 aneurysms who received concomitant endovascular and surgical treatment of their aneurysm(s). One patient arrived to us after he had an aneurysm clipped at an outside institution and then required treatment for a contralateral ruptured aneurysm. 66.7% of patients were diagnosed with subarachnoid hemorrhage. These were subdivided according to therapeutic approach: clipping and coiling (CL+CO), clipping and stenting (CL+ST), bypass and endovascular parent vessel occlusion (PVO) (BY+PVO), attempted clipping then stenting, and bypass followed by stenting. Glasgow Outcome Scale was as follows: CL-CO-Multiple, 4.17 (five in unruptured patients, 3.75 in ruptured); CO-CL-Multiple, five (all patients had a ruptured aneurysm); CL-CO-Single, three (all patients had a ruptured aneurysm); CO-CL-Single, five (all patients had a ruptured aneurysm). No patients suffered a new neurological deficit as a result of treatment. A total of two mortalities were documented. Concomitant, mutimodality endovascular and surgical therapy may offer a safe and potentially more effective paradigm than single modality approaches for the management of multiple, complex, or "failed" aneurysm treatments in selected patients.

Rare cause of trigeminal neuralgia: Meckel's cave meningocele.

The most common etiology of classic trigeminal neuralgia is vascular compression. However, other causes must be excluded. It is very unlikely that a meningocele presents with symptomatic trigeminal neuralgia. We present a rare case of a patient presenting with left trigeminal neuralgia. Thin-slice CT and MRI showed a transclival Meckel's cave meningocele. The patient underwent endoscopic repair of the meningocele, which resulted in complete resolution of her symptoms. Meckel's cave meningocele or encephalocele should be considered among the differential diagnoses of trigeminal neuralgia. Meningocele repair should be suggested as the first treatment option in this rare situation.

Mixed capillary-cavernous extramedullary intradural hemangioma of the spinal cord mimicking meningioma: Case report.

Hemangiomas are customarily described as low-grade vascular tumors most often located in the head and neck, but on rare occasions occurring in the intradural space of the spine. The different subtypes of hemangiomas can be distinguished histologically as capillary, cavernous, or mixed types. We describe a rare case of a mixed capillary-cavernous extramedullary intradural hemangioma of the thoracic spinal cord, mimicking meningioma radiologically.

Neurosurgery Residents' Satisfaction Toward Their Saudi Training Program: Insights from a National Survey.

BACKGROUND: Given the high-stakes nature of their work, neurosurgery residents face constant pressure and require high-quality training to succeed. We aim to investigate the satisfaction levels of residents with their Saudi Neurosurgery Residency Training Program (SNRTP) and its influential factors. METHODS: This is a nationwide, cross-sectional study that employed a questionnaire, structured based on the relevant literature, which was disseminated to neurosurgery residents, commencing from December 2021 and culminating in September 2022. RESULTS: A total of 70 out of 143 neurosurgery residents were included, giving a response rate of 48.9%. Most participants (62.9%) aged 24-28 years old, 55.7% were males, and 40.0% were from the Central region of Saudi Arabia. The residents were further divided into juniors (R1-R3; 64.3%) and seniors (R4-R6; 35.7%). Approximately 13.3% of the juniors were satisfied with the SNRTP, whereas only 8.0% of the seniors were satisfied. Dissatisfaction rates over the SNRTP were significantly higher in the seniors (68.0%) compared to the juniors (28.9%; P = 0.006). The frequency of operating room sessions per week and presence of protected research time were the only 2 factors significantly associated with the junior and senior residents' satisfaction, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The SNRTP has a vision to provide the society with elite competent neurosurgeons. However, we found a degree of dissatisfaction among the residents, indicating a need for improving the SNRTP's policies. We recommend incorporating more hands-on training opportunities, implementing a mentorship model, setting tailored teaching sessions, and establishing resident wellness programs. We hope this study initiate dialogue on promoting residents' satisfaction and overall well-being.

A Prospective Comparison Between Soft Tissue Dissection Techniques in Pterional Craniotomy: Functional, Radiological, and Aesthetic Outcomes.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Given the complex anatomy of the operative region and individual surgeon preferences, some techniques for soft tissue dissection before pterional craniotomy have gained more popularity than others. This prospective study used subjective and objective measurements to compare the functional, radiological, and aesthetic outcomes of 3 such dissection techniques. METHODS: This multicenter prospective cohort study included all patients who underwent elective pterional craniotomy between 2018 and 2020 at 3 centers in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. All patients underwent 1 of 3 soft tissue dissection techniques: myocutaneous flap, interfascial, and subfascial dissection techniques. Clinical and radiological assessments were performed upon discharge and at the 3- and 6-month follow-ups. RESULTS: We included 78 patients, with a mean age of 44.9 ± 16.3 years. Myocutaneous flap, interfascial, and subfascial dissections were performed in 34 (43%), 24 (30%), and 20 patients (25%), respectively. The myocutaneous flap method had the shortest opening ( P = .001) and closure ( P = .005) times; tenderness was more evident in this group than in the others ( P = .05). The frontalis muscle was most affected in the interfascial dissection group ( P = .05). The frontalis nerve function was similar in all groups after 6 months ( P = .54). The incidence of temporomandibular joint dysfunction was highest in the myocutaneous flap group (29%). Decreased temporalis muscle thickness at the 6-month postoperative follow-up was most severe in the subfascial dissection group (12.6%), followed by the myocutaneous flap (11.9%) and interfascial dissection (9.9%) groups, with no significant difference ( P = .85). Temporal hollowing was more prominent in the myocutaneous flap group ( P = .03). Cosmetic satisfaction was highest in the interfascial dissection group, with no significant difference ( P = .4). CONCLUSION: This study provides important information for neurosurgeons in weighing the benefits and risks of each technique for their patients.

Factors Associated with Sedentary Behavior and Physical Activity Among People Living in Saudi Arabia - A Cross-Sectional Study.

Background: A poor physical activity and sedentary behavior is common among individuals which can be detrimental to one's health. Furthermore, sedentary behavior is associated with metabolic disorders. Therefore, this study explored factors associated with sedentary behavior and physical activity among individuals in capital region of Saudi Arabia. Methods: A cross-sectional web-based study was conducted over a period of 3 months in 2023 using prevalidated questionnaires, which address the sedentary behavior and physical activity and its factors. This study included among individuals aged from 19 to 50 years, living in Riyadh. Factors associated with outcome variables were identified using multiple linear regression analysis in SPSS. Results: Of the 833 study participants, 569 (68.3%) and most were males aged between years 31-35 years old. Only 20.6% (n=172) of the activities that induced high levels of breathing or heart rate were vigorous-intensity activities among the respondents. The average number of sitting hours per day was 6.74 (SD=1.577). The regression model's findings showed a significant correlation between mean sitting time and education level (p=0.008), occupation (p=0.001), monthly income (p=0.029), and kind and status of physical activity (p=0.002). Similar to this, there was a significant correlation between age group (p=0.040) and physical activity status (p=0.001) and the amount of time spent engaging in vigorous-intensity activities at work on an average day. Conclusion: The findings of this study confirmed that Saudi adults living in the Riyadh region spent a significant amount of time sedentary, and the most common factors associated with sedentary behavior were education, employment, monthly income, physical activity status, type of physical activity, and reasons for not practicing physical activity. The findings of this study can be used by healthcare providers and those associated with policymaking to improve health outcomes in healthcare settings.

A misdiagnosed aneurysm of the petrous internal carotid artery: A case report.

INTRODUCTION: An aneurysm is characterized by the weakening of the arterial wall, which leads to a bulge that can be filled with blood. Aneurysms of the petrous portion of the internal carotid artery are rare and predominantly detected incidentally. This is a report of multiple misdiagnoses of an aneurysm of the petrous segment of the internal carotid artery (ICA) that highlights its imaging-based diagnosis and risk of mortality. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 60-year-old woman with chronic kidney disease and a history of stroke presented with left ear discharge, decreased hearing, and non-pulsatile tinnitus that had persisted for four months. Clinical examination showed wet tympanic membrane perforation, and imaging revealed an ill-defined infiltrative mass involving the left petrous apex initially misdiagnosed as glomus jugulare. Diagnostic computed tomography (CT) angiography revealed a left aneurysm in the petrous part of the ICA, which was successfully treated with interventional radiology. Follow-up was planned for infectious diseases and internal medicine, but she was lost to follow-up by the otolaryngology department. DISCUSSION: Aneurysms in the petrous portion of the ICA are rare and usually asymptomatic. However, their clinical manifestations vary, and they have various differential diagnoses. CT and magnetic resonance imaging are essential for diagnosis, and CT angiography is the gold standard. CONCLUSION: Diagnosing petrous ICA aneurysms requires a high level of suspicion and CT angiography. Their clinical presentations vary from asymptomatic to severe. Case-specific management and endovascular treatment yield positive neurological outcomes.

Navigating the Knowledge of Risk Factors, Warning Signs, of Stroke - A Community-Based Cross-Sectional Study Among Saudi Adults in Riyadh Saudi Arabia.

Background: The incidence of stroke is increasing in everyday life as a result of modifiable cerebrovascular risk factors and aging. Therefore, the goal of this study was to assess knowledge of the risk factors, and warning signs, of stroke and to determine associated demographic factors among individuals living in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Methods and Materials: A cross-sectional online study using a convenience sampling of general population living in Riyadh was carried out over three months in 2023 using a series of questionnaires that was adopted from the previous study. Before data collection, the study tool was subjected to pilot testing among a small sample of individuals to validate for consistency and reliability. The data was collected using social media platforms. A statistical package for the social science (SPSS version 27) was used. Results: Four hundred and sixty-two individuals completed the survey. Among those 69.5%, identified hypertension as a risk factor for stroke followed by hyperlipidemia (42.9%), heart disease (44.8%). In addition, most of the respondents (n = 332, 71.9%) knew that numbness or weakness of the face and/or limbs of the body was a warning sign of stroke. In this, 73.5% (n=249) of the respondents agreed that if they saw an individual suffering from a stroke, they would like to take the patient to the hospital immediately. However, there was a significant association between the knowledge of the respondents about the risk factor of stroke and educational degree (p=0.011), and parents working in healthcare settings (p =0.015). Conclusion: In conclusion it was observed that a significant respondents had an adequate knowledge of stroke risk factors, while most were unaware of the early warning signs of a stroke. To promote primary prevention and early management/outcomes, we advise that future regional campaigns focus on raising knowledge and recognition of stroke symptoms.

Vertebral-Venous fistulas: Single center experience and practical treatment approach.

BACKGROUND: Vertebral-venous fistulas (VVFs) are rare. Scarce literature exists to guide our understanding and management. We report our experience and propose a classification based on flow, feeder number, and involvement of accessible veins. Additionally, we include a practical treatment approach. METHODS: Retrospective chart and imaging review of cerebrovascular arteriovenous fistulas treated in our center between July 2013 and April 2022. We reviewed patient demographics, presentation, imaging, treatment strategies, and outcomes. RESULTS: Nine patients with VVFs were identified, six were females. Ages ranged between 38-83 years. There were six high-flow and three low-flow. Most VVFs originated at the level of V3. Additional feeders from the internal carotid artery, external carotid artery, and/or subclavian artery were present in four cases (two were high-flow). Four cases had multiple arterial feeders. All cases were symptomatic. Origin was spontaneous in eight and iatrogenic in one case. Most common presenting symptoms were pain (7) and pulsatile tinnitus (4). Neurological deficits were present in two cases (1 high- and 1 low-flow). Four cases were treated with vertebral artery segmental sacrifice alone, three required multiple transarterial embolizations with or without VA sacrifice, one case had single transvenous approach, and one was treated with single targeted transarterial embolization. One patient had a minor transient neurological complication. No treatment-related mortality was seen. CONCLUSION: Treatment of high-flow and symptomatic low-flow VVFs is feasible and safe. Our classification and treatment approach might help guide patient selection and choice of endovascular approach. However, our approach warrants further validation with a larger number of patients.

Robotically-assisted neuro-endovascular procedures: Single-Center Experience and a Review of the Literature.

INTRODUCTION: Robotics could expand treatment of rapidly progressive pathologies such as acute ischemic stroke, with the potential to provide populations in need prompt access to neuro-endovascular procedures. METHODS: Robotically-assisted (RA) neuro-endovascular procedures (RANPs) performed at our institution were retrospectively examined (RA-group, RG). A control group of manual neuro-endovascular procedures was selected (manual group, MG). Total operating room (OR) time, procedural time, contrast media use, fluoroscopy time, conversion from RA to manual control, procedural success, and complication rates were compared. A learning curve was identified. RESULTS: Forty-one (41) RANPs were analyzed. Ages ranged from 20-82 y.o. Indications included diagnostic cerebral angiography (37), extracranial carotid artery stenting (3), and transverse sinus stent (1). Total OR time was longer in RG (median 86 vs. 71 min, p < 0.01). Procedural time (median 56 vs. 45 min, p = 0.12), fluoroscopy time (median 12 vs. 12 min, p = 0.69) and contrast media usage (82 vs. 92 ml, p = 0.54) were not significantly different. Patient radiation exposure was similar, considering similar fluoroscopy times. Radiation exposure and lead apron use were virtually absent for the main surgeon in RG. Procedural success was 83% and conversion from RA to manual control was 17% in RG. No treatment-related complications occurred. A learning curve showed that, after the fifth procedure, procedural times reduced and stabilized. CONCLUSIONS: This series may contribute to further demonstrating the safety and feasibility of RANPs. RANPs can potentially reduce radiation exposure and physical burden for health personnel, expand acute cerebrovascular treatment to underserved areas, and enhance telementoring. Prospective studies are necessary for results to be generalized.

Elevating Healthcare: Rapid Literature Review on Drone Applications for Streamlining Disaster Management and Prehospital Care in Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia's health sector faces pressing challenges in disaster and prehospital care delivery, such as prolonged response times, limited access to remote areas, and strained medical resources. Integrating drone technology has emerged as an innovative approach to address these challenges and revolutionize healthcare delivery. Drones can significantly enhance response times, increase access to underserved areas, and reduce the burden on existing medical infrastructure. A detailed analysis of global case studies demonstrates the successful use of drones in healthcare delivery, emphasizing the importance of regulatory frameworks and public-private partnerships. These examples provide valuable insights into Saudi Arabia's health sector transformation. The potential benefits of integrating drone technology include improved patient outcomes, increased efficiency, and cost savings. To ensure the successful implementation of this transformative approach, it is crucial to establish clear regulatory guidelines, invest in research and development, and foster collaboration between the government, private sector, and healthcare stakeholders. The aim of this study is to explore the potential of drone technology in transforming healthcare delivery in Saudi Arabia, particularly within disaster response and prehospital care services.

Saudi female paramedics' perceptions of challenges in the workplace: A qualitative study.

BACKGROUND: It is immensely important that Saudi women become involved in the field of paramedicine in larger numbers; however, anecdotally they continue to experience significant challenges that limit their opportunities for recruitment and deployment in the field. This study set out to explore working female paramedics' perceptions of challenges in their workplace in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). METHODS: This study utilised a descriptive qualitative approach. Fifteen Saudi female paramedics were recruited to attend one of four focus groups in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Data were assessed using thematic analysis. RESULTS: Three themes emerged from the focus groups that described the perceptions of Saudi female paramedics: personal factors, social factors and employment-related factors. They faced several challenges that could affect their family responsibilities, workplace duties and capacity to work in the field of paramedicine. Saudi society also challenged female paramedics, as the culture and traditions of the KSA limited their participation in the paramedicine workforce. Furthermore, they reported experiencing many employment issues related to recruitment to pre-hospital settings, resulting from organisational policies and procedures. CONCLUSION: This study investigated the perceptions held by a cohort of female Saudi paramedics of the personal and professional challenges they faced in the workplace in the KSA. The study findings and their implications for female paramedics suggest further research is required to understand the unique challenges they face and to develop various strategies to manage them.

Saudi Arabian Community Perceptions on Saudi Female Paramedics: A Cross-Sectional Study.

INTRODUCTION: Although emergency medical services (EMS) stakeholders acknowledge the need for both male and female paramedics in the EMS field, the Saudi EMS system is currently only staffed by male paramedics and emergency medical technicians (EMTs) working in EMS organisations. AIM: To understand and explore the Saudi Arabian community's perceptions on engaging Saudi female paramedics in the EMS workforce. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This was a cross-sectional survey design using convenience sampling of the public in Riyadh city by self-administered English and Arabic language questionnaires. Questionnaire validity was assessed by face and content validity. RESULTS: Of the 3603 surveys distributed, 3132 were returned (87% completion response rate). Most respondents were aged between 18 and 29 years (n = 1308, 41%), and the sex distribution was (n = 1646, 52.6%) male and (n = 1486, 47.4%) female. Overall, 77% (n = 2412) of the respondents supported the need for female paramedics in Saudi Arabian ambulance services, and 74.8% (n = 2343) preferred that female paramedics treated female patients. CONCLUSION: This is the first public study to explore Saudi public perceptions about female paramedics in EMS in the Riyadh region, Saudi Arabia. The Saudi public is supportive of female paramedics being employed as paramedics in the country. Moreover, significant differences in perceptions were evidenced in the sex groups over any other factors.

A cross-sectional assessment of knowledge, awareness of risk factors, and perceptions of thyroid disease (TD) among adults living in Saudi Arabia - A community based study.

Background: The incidence of thyroid diseases has tripled in the last three decades, and the prevalence is rising rapidly irrespective of gender and genetics. This study aimed to assess the Knowledge, awareness of risk factors, and perceptions of thyroid disease among the Saudi Community in Saudi Arabia. Methods: A cross-sectional, online web-based, survey type study was conducted between November 2021 to January 2022 among residents living in Saudi Arabia. Individuals aged ≥ 18 years who expressed a willingness to complete the survey were included. Descriptive and bivariate analyses were carried out to determine the factors associated with knowledge of thyroid using SPSS version 26.0 software (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, U.S.). Results: Among the participants, the majority of them were females than males (77.5 vs. 22.5%). A total of 78.2% (n = 566) of them were aware of the thyroid. Nearly 44% (n = 312) of respondents are aware that a lump in the neck or swelling is a sign of thyroid disease, followed by pain in the neck 24.6% (n = 178), and difficulty in swallowing 23.8% (n = 172). The mean knowledge score of the thyroid was 4.1 (SD = 3.09), while the score of the mean perception was 33.02 (SD = 6.41). The mean knowledge scores were significantly associated with having previous knowledge of thyroid disease (t = 5.08; p = 0.0001). The gender of the participant and the presence of chronic diseases were found to have no impact on the knowledge score of the thyroid disease (t = -1.18; p = 0.235; t = 1.005; p = 0.315). Additionally, the perceptions score was not significantly associated with the demographics of the participants (p = 0.05). Conclusion: In this study, Saudi adults reported varying levels of knowledge and perceptions of thyroid disease. Having previous knowledge of the thyroid was significantly associated with the knowledge score. It is necessary to educate people about this rising disease.

Societal vulnerability in the context of population aging-Perceptions of healthcare students' in Saudi Arabia.

Background and objective: Healthcare professionals have an important role in increasing awareness and protecting populations from natural disasters. This study aimed to assess the perception of healthcare students toward societal vulnerability in the context of population aging. Methods: This is a cross-sectional questionnaire-based study conducted among students from two different health colleges over 4 months from February to May 2021. Descriptive analysis was used to assess the perception, and inferential testing was used to assess the various association of knowledge toward societal vulnerability using SPSS. Results: The majority of respondents were male (69.2%), between 20 and 24 years of age (91.2%), and studying for a nursing degree (76.6%). Only 4.7% had previously completed a previous degree. The mean score of perceptions on the Aging and Disaster Vulnerability Scale among nursing students was 42.5 ± 10.3 (0-65) while for paramedicine 48.1 ± 9.7 (0-65). Similarly, the mean score among male students was 44.1 ±10.5. The mean PADVS total score for the cohort was 43.8 (SD = 10.5). The mean PADVS total score for nursing students was significantly lower than paramedic students (42.5 vs. 48.1; p < 0.001). There was no correlation between PADVS total score and gender, age, area of residence, or previous degree. Conclusion: Our results indicate that Saudi healthcare students perceive older adults are somewhat vulnerable to disasters with significant differences between nursing and paramedic students. Furthermore, we suggest informing emergency services disaster response planning processes about educational intervention to overcome disasters in Saudi Arabia and other countries.

Medial Extension of Medial Sphenoid Wing Meningioma from the Anterior Clinoid Line: Does It Truly Affect the Surgical Outcome?

Background Medial sphenoid wing meningiomas (MSWMs) account for approximately 20% of all meningiomas that are known for their critical relation to neurovasculture structures. Objective The purpose of this study is to examine the relation between the maximum diameter of the MSWM medial to the anterior clinoidal line (AC line) and surgical outcome. Methods This is a retrospective cohort study investigating all surgically resected MSWM cases at our institution over 10 years. The patients were divided into groups A and B based on the average ratio between the maximum medial extension of the MSWM from the AC line to the maximum diameter of the tumor, that is, value I = 0.42 (group A ≤ 0.42 and group B > 0.42). And into groups C and D based on the average medial extension of the tumor, that is, 14 mm (group C ≤ and D group D > 14 mm). These measurements were correlated with patients' demographics, preoperative symptoms, and postoperative assessment. Results Among 150 patients, 51patients had MSWM that fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Among them, 76.47% were females with a median age of 48 years (standard deviation [SD] = 47.75 ± 15.11). Also, 92% of the cases were World Health Organization (WHO) grade I. The follow-up period was 0.5 to 10 years. Among them, 40% of group C had gross total resection (GTR), whereas 43% in group D. In group B, 70% had GTR, whereas 48% had GTR in group A. None of the patients developed statistically significant postoperative complications. There is no statistically significant difference in the risk complication with medial extension in all groups. Conclusion The degree of medial extension of MSWM from the AC line has no statistically significant correlation with major postoperative complications, extent of resection, or clinical outcome.
