Abstract
BACKGROUND This is the largest study in North America investigating olfactory outcomes after pituitary surgery to date. OBJECTIVE Characterize factors associated with subjective olfactory dysfunction (OD) and worsened sinonasal quality-of-life (QOL) after endoscopic TSA. METHODS Patients undergoing primary TSA for secreting and non-secreting pituitary adenomas between 2017 and 2021 with pre- and post-operative SNOT-22 scores were included. Subjective OD was determined by the smell/taste dysfunction question on the SNOT-22 (smell-SNOT). RESULTS 159 patients with pre- and post-operative SNOT-22 scores were included. Average total SNOT-22 scores worsened from pre-operative (16.91 ± 16.91) to POM1 (25.15 ± 20.83, P < .001), with no difference from pre-operative (16.40 ± 15.88) to POM6 (16.27 ± 17.92, P = .936) or pre-operative (13.63 ± 13.54) to POM12 (12.60 ± 16.45, P = .651). Average smell-SNOT scores worsened from pre-operative (0.40 ± 1.27) to POM1 (2.09 ± 2.01, P < .001), and pre-operative (0.46 ± 1.29) to POM6 (1.13 ± 2.45, P = .002), with no difference from pre-operative (0.40 ± 1.07) to POM12 (0.71 ± 1.32, P = .100). Female gender had a 0.9-point (95% CI 0.1 to 1.6) P = .021, increase in smell-SNOT at POM1, resolving by POM6 (0.1 [-0.9 to 1.1], P = .800) and POM12 (0.0 [-1.0 to 0.9], P = .942). Septoplasty with tunnel approach had a 1.1 [0.2 to 2.0] out of 5-point (P = .023) increase in smell-SNOT at POM1, resolving by POM6 (0.2 [-1.1 to 1.6], P = .764) and POM12 (0.4 [-0.9 to 1.6], P = .567). Female gender had a 9.5 (4.0 to 15.1)-point (P = .001) increase in SNOT-22 scores at POM1, resolving by POM6 (3.4 [-3.0 to 9.8], P = .292) and POM12 (6.4 [-5.4 to 18.2], P = .276). Intra-operative CSF leak had an 8.6 [2.1 to 15.1]-point (P = .009) increase in SNOT-22 scores at POM1, resolving by POM6 (5.4 [-1.7 to 12.5], P = .135), and POM12 (1.1 [-12.9 to 15.1], P = .873). CONCLUSION Changes in subjective olfaction and sinonasal QOL after TSA may be associated with gender, operative approach, and intra-operative CSF leak, resolving 6-12 months post-operatively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Trigeminal neuralgia is a facial pain syndrome most commonly caused by a neurovascular compression (NVC) of the trigeminal nerve. Microvascular decompression (MVD) is the most durable surgical treatment; however, patients without an NVC are not candidates for this procedure. Alternative treatments such as percutaneous rhizotomy and radiosurgery are effective but with higher recurrence rates. Internal neurolysis (IN) is a less frequently used procedure that aims to provide long-term relief to patients without NVC. OBJECTIVE We present the surgical techniques for IN developed at our institution. We also discuss the technical nuances related to nerve consistency and present a new classification based on these findings. We provide pain and numbness outcomes for our cohort of patients stratified by the extent of neurolysis and nerve consistency. METHODS Patients with medically intractable trigeminal neuralgia eligible for posterior fossa exploration are eligible for MVD and possible IN. If no NVC or a mild NVC is encountered, IN is performed. We have divided the procedure into 4 main steps: opening the outer connective sheath, fascicular dissection, inside-out dissection and the fascicular irrigation technique. Trigeminal nerve consistency has been classified into 3 main types: type 1 is soft and friable; type 2 is intermediate consistency and ideal for neurolysis; and type 3 is firm and presents a more challenging dissection. CONCLUSIONS In the absence of microvascular compression, we advocate for a thorough neurolysis using the techniques described in our article.

Abstract
Objectives Pituitary tumor treatment is hampered by the relative rarity of the disease, absence of a multicenter collaborative platform, and limited translational-clinical research partnerships. Prior studies offer limited insight into the formation of a multicenter consortium. Design The authors describe the establishment of a multicenter research initiative, Registry of Adenomas of the Pituitary and Related Disorders (RAPID), to encourage quality improvement and research, promote scholarship, and apply innovative solutions in outcomes research. Methods The challenges encountered during the formation of other research registries were reviewed with those lessons applied to the development of RAPID. Setting/Participants RAPID was formed by 11 academic U.S. pituitary centers. Results A Steering Committee, bylaws, data coordination center, and leadership team have been established. Clinical modules with standardized data fields for nonfunctioning adenoma, prolactinoma, acromegaly, Cushing's disease, craniopharyngioma, and Rathke's cleft cyst were created using a Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act-compliant cloud-based platform. Currently, RAPID has received institutional review board approval at all centers, compiled retrospective data and agreements from most centers, and begun prospective data collection at one site. Existing institutional databases are being mapped to one central repository. Conclusion The RAPID consortium has laid the foundation for a multicenter collaboration to facilitate pituitary tumor and surgical research. We sought to share our experiences so that other groups also contemplating this approach may benefit. Future studies may include outcomes benchmarking, clinically annotated biobank tissue, multicenter outcomes studies, prospective intervention studies, translational research, and health economics studies focused on value-based care questions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sinonasal neoplasms, whether benign and malignant, pose a significant challenge to clinicians and represent a model area for multidisciplinary collaboration in order to optimize patient care. The International Consensus Statement on Allergy and Rhinology: Sinonasal Tumors (ICSNT) aims to summarize the best available evidence and presents 48 thematic and histopathology-based topics spanning the field. METHODS In accordance with prior International Consensus Statement on Allergy and Rhinology documents, ICSNT assigned each topic as an Evidence-Based Review with Recommendations, Evidence-Based Review, and Literature Review based on the level of evidence. An international group of multidisciplinary author teams were assembled for the topic reviews using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses format, and completed sections underwent a thorough and iterative consensus-building process. The final document underwent rigorous synthesis and review prior to publication. RESULTS The ICSNT document consists of four major sections: general principles, benign neoplasms and lesions, malignant neoplasms, and quality of life and surveillance. It covers 48 conceptual and/or histopathology-based topics relevant to sinonasal neoplasms and masses. Topics with a high level of evidence provided specific recommendations, while other areas summarized the current state of evidence. A final section highlights research opportunities and future directions, contributing to advancing knowledge and community intervention. CONCLUSION As an embodiment of the multidisciplinary and collaborative model of care in sinonasal neoplasms and masses, ICSNT was designed as a comprehensive, international, and multidisciplinary collaborative endeavor. Its primary objective is to summarize the existing evidence in the field of sinonasal neoplasms and masses.

Abstract
We present the first search for heavy neutral leptons (HNLs) decaying into νe^{+}e^{-} or νπ^{0} final states in a liquid-argon time projection chamber using data collected with the MicroBooNE detector. The data were recorded synchronously with the NuMI neutrino beam from Fermilab's main injector corresponding to a total exposure of 7.01×10^{20} protons on target. We set upper limits at the 90% confidence level on the mixing parameter |U_{μ4}|^{2} in the mass ranges 10≤m_{HNL}≤150 MeV for the νe^{+}e^{-} channel and 150≤m_{HNL}≤245 MeV for the νπ^{0} channel, assuming |U_{e4}|^{2}=|U_{τ4}|^{2}=0. These limits represent the most stringent constraints in the mass range 35

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (FSRT) is a common modality used to treat pituitary adenomas with good control rates. It is not known whether FSRT should be performed early or delayed until progression occurs. We compared FSRT in treating nonfunctional pituitary adenomas (NFPA) as an adjuvant (ADJ) or on-progression (PRG) therapy. METHODS A retrospective review of patients who underwent FSRT for an NFPA between January 2004 and December 2022 at a single institution was performed. We compared endocrinologic, ophthalmologic, and radiographic outcomes in FSRT delivered as ADJ and PRG treatment. RESULTS Seventy-five patients were analyzed, with a median follow-up of 53 months. FSRT was administered to 35 and 40 patients as ADJ and PRG, with a median time to treatment of 5.5 and 40 months, respectively. The tumor control rate was 94.3% for ADJ and 95.0% for PRG. Treatment resulted in 4 (11.4%) versus 7 (17.5%) new endocrinopathies and 2 (5.7%) versus 1 (2.5%) new visual deficits for ADJ versus PRG. A survival analysis of time to new endocrinopathy showed no difference between the 2 cohorts. The median time from surgery to new endocrinopathy was significantly different between ADJ and PRG, at 15.5 and 102.0 months, respectively. CONCLUSIONS FSRT is effective in treating NFPA for residual and progressive tumors, with excellent tumor control rates and a low risk of developing new endocrinopathies and visual deficits. Delaying treatment delayed the development of new endocrinopathies, suggesting that observation with FSRT on tumor progression may delay the onset of hypopituitarism and maintain similar effectiveness in tumor control.

Abstract
Objectives Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks of the anterior cranial base are frequently repaired with endonasal, multilayered reconstructions. Vascularized tissue flaps are superior to free mucosal grafts and biomaterials in many cases. Limitations of previously described flaps include reach, rotation, pedicle availability, and postoperative sinonasal morbidity. The objective of this study is to describe the superiorly based middle turbinate flap, a novel vascularized mucosal reconstruction option, and to present a case series demonstrating flap utility. Design Cadaveric feasibility study with technical description and illustrative case series. Setting Tertiary medical center. Participants Three silicone-injected cadaveric specimens (6 sides); 7 patients with CSF rhinorrhea from bony dehiscence of the anterior cranial fossa repaired with a superiorly based middle turbinate flap. Outcome Measures Cadaveric feasibility, in vivo repair outcomes, sinonasal symptoms, and postoperative healing. Results Cadaveric dissection demonstrated a consistent vascular plexus arising from the anterior and posterior ethmoid arteries, originating at the superior attachment of the middle turbinate and traveling inferiorly to supply the mucosa of the middle turbinate. Mean surface area of the flap was 776.67 ± 114.60 mm 2 . The clinical series of 7 patients involved leaks around the cribriform plate and fovea ethmoidalis. There were no instances of repair failure. All cases showed rapid and complete remucosalization without significant sinonasal morbidity. Conclusion The superiorly based middle turbinate flap is a reliable, versatile, and effective option for a vascularized mucosal flap onlay that can be used in anterior skull base reconstruction. This flap is particularly useful in the repair of defects involving the cribriform plate and fovea ethmoidalis.

Abstract
PURPOSE Owing to their vicinity near the superior sagittal sinus, parasagittal and parafalcine meningiomas are challenging tumors to surgically resect. In this study, we investigate key factors that portend increased risk of recurrence after surgery. METHODS This is a retrospective study of patients who underwent resection of parasagittal and parafalcine meningiomas at our institution between 2012 and 2018. Relevant clinical, radiographic, and histopathological variables were selected for analysis as predictors of tumor recurrence. RESULTS A total of 110 consecutive subjects (mean age: 59.4 ± 15.2 years, 67.3% female) with 74 parasagittal and 36 parafalcine meningiomas (92 WHO grade 1, 18 WHO grade 2/3), are included in the study. A total of 37 patients (33.6%) exhibited recurrence with median follow-up of 42 months (IQR: 10-71). In the overall cohort, parasagittal meningiomas exhibited shorter progression-free survival compared to parafalcine meningiomas (Kaplan-Meier log-rank p = 0.045). On univariate analysis, predictors of recurrence include WHO grade 2/3 vs. grade 1 tumors (p < 0.001), higher Ki-67 indices (p < 0.001), partial (p = 0.04) or complete sinus invasion (p < 0.001), and subtotal resection (p < 0.001). Multivariable Cox regression analysis revealed high-grade meningiomas (HR: 3.62, 95% CI: 1.60-8.22; p = 0.002), complete sinus invasion (HR: 3.00, 95% CI: 1.16-7.79; p = 0.024), and subtotal resection (HR: 3.10, 95% CI: 1.38-6.96; p = 0.006) as independent factors that portend shorter time to recurrence. CONCLUSION This study identifies several pertinent factors that confer increased risk of recurrence after resection of parasagittal and parafalcine meningiomas, which can be used to devise appropriate surgical strategy to achieve improved patient outcomes.

Abstract
Background Chordomas are histologically benign but locally aggressive tumors with a high propensity to recur. Our case highlights the importance of long-term vigilance in patients who have undergone chordoma resection. Case Report We report the case of a 47-year-old man with a cervical chordoma who developed multiple musculoskeletal ectopic recurrences in the left supraclavicular region, the proximal right bicep, and the left submandibular region without recurrence in the primary tumor site. Primary tumor resection was achieved via a combination of surgery, adjuvant radiation therapy, and imatinib. All recurrences were successfully resected and confirmed via pathology to be ectopic chordoma. Discussion Ectopic recurrence of cervical chordoma is rare and lung is the most common site of distant spread. Chordoma recurrence in skeletal muscle is particularly rare, with only 10 cases described in the literature. A plausible mechanism of distant metastatic disease in chordoma patients suggests that tumor cells escape the surgical tract via a combination of cytokine release, vasodilation, and microtrauma induced during resection. Conclusion Cervical chordoma with ectopic recurrence in skeletal muscle has not been previously described in the literature. Skull base surgeons should be aware of the phenomenon of chordoma ectopic recurrence in the absence of local recurrence.

Abstract
We report the first measurement of flux-integrated double-differential quasielasticlike neutrino-argon cross sections, which have been made using the Booster Neutrino Beam and the MicroBooNE detector at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. The data are presented as a function of kinematic imbalance variables which are sensitive to nuclear ground-state distributions and hadronic reinteraction processes. We find that the measured cross sections in different phase-space regions are sensitive to different nuclear effects. Therefore, they enable the impact of specific nuclear effects on the neutrino-nucleus interaction to be isolated more completely than was possible using previous single-differential cross section measurements. Our results provide precision data to help test and improve neutrino-nucleus interaction models. They further support ongoing neutrino-oscillation studies by establishing phase-space regions where precise reaction modeling has already been achieved.

Abstract
We present the first measurement of the cross section of Cabibbo-suppressed Λ baryon production, using data collected with the MicroBooNE detector when exposed to the neutrinos from the main injector beam at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. The data analyzed correspond to 2.2×10^{20} protons on target running in neutrino mode, and 4.9×10^{20} protons on target running in anti-neutrino mode. An automated selection is combined with hand scanning, with the former identifying five candidate Λ production events when the signal was unblinded, consistent with the GENIE prediction of 5.3±1.1 events. Several scanners were employed, selecting between three and five events, compared with a prediction from a blinded Monte Carlo simulation study of 3.7±1.0 events. Restricting the phase space to only include Λ baryons that decay above MicroBooNE's detection thresholds, we obtain a flux averaged cross section of 2.0_{-1.7}^{+2.2}×10^{-40} cm^{2}/Ar, where statistical and systematic uncertainties are combined.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The clinical behavior of meningiomas is not entirely captured by its designated WHO grade, therefore other factors must be elucidated that portend increased tumor aggressiveness and associated risk of recurrence. In this study, the authors identify multiparametric MRI radiomic signatures of meningiomas using Ki-67 as a prognostic marker of clinical outcomes independent of WHO grade. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted of all resected meningiomas between 2012 and 2018. Preoperative MR images were used for high-throughput radiomic feature extraction and subsequently used to develop a machine learning algorithm to stratify meningiomas based on Ki-67 indices < 5% and ≥ 5%, independent of WHO grade. Progression-free survival (PFS) was assessed based on machine learning prediction of Ki-67 strata and compared with outcomes based on histopathological Ki-67. RESULTS Three hundred forty-three meningiomas were included: 291 with WHO grade I, 43 with grade II, and 9 with grade III. The overall rate of recurrence was 19.8% (15.1% in grade I, 44.2% in grade II, and 77.8% in grade III) over a median follow-up of 28.5 months. Grade II and III tumors had higher Ki-67 indices than grade I tumors, albeit tumor and peritumoral edema volumes had considerable variation independent of meningioma WHO grade. Forty-six high-performing radiomic features (1 morphological, 7 intensity-based, and 38 textural) were identified and used to build a support vector machine model to stratify tumors based on a Ki-67 cutoff of 5%, with resultant areas under the curve of 0.83 (95% CI 0.78-0.89) and 0.84 (95% CI 0.75-0.94) achieved for the discovery (n = 257) and validation (n = 86) data sets, respectively. Comparison of histopathological Ki-67 versus machine learning-predicted Ki-67 showed excellent performance (overall accuracy > 80%), with classification of grade I meningiomas exhibiting the greatest accuracy. Prediction of Ki-67 by machine learning classifier revealed shorter PFS for meningiomas with Ki-67 indices ≥ 5% compared with tumors with Ki-67 < 5% (p < 0.0001, log-rank test), which corroborates divergent patient outcomes observed using histopathological Ki-67. CONCLUSIONS The Ki-67 proliferation index may serve as a surrogate marker of increased meningioma aggressiveness independent of WHO grade. Machine learning using radiomic feature analysis may be used for the preoperative prediction of meningioma Ki-67, which provides enhanced analytical insights to help improve diagnostic classification and guide patient-specific treatment strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Augmented reality (AR) has demonstrated significant potential in neurosurgical cranial, spine, and teaching applications. External ventricular drain (EVD) placement remains a common procedure, but with error rates in targeting between 10% and 40%. OBJECTIVE To evaluate Novarad VisAR guidance system for the placement of EVDs in phantom and cadaveric models. METHODS Two synthetic ventricular phantom models and a third cadaver model underwent computerized tomography imaging and registration with the VisAR system (Novarad). Root mean square (RMS), angular error (γ), and Euclidian distance were measured by multiple methods for various standard EVD placements. RESULTS Computerized tomography measurements on a phantom model (0.5-mm targets showed a mean Euclidean distance error of 1.20 ± 0.98 mm and γ of 1.25° ± 1.02°. Eight participants placed EVDs in lateral and occipital burr holes using VisAR in a second phantom anatomic ventricular model (mean RMS: 3.9 ± 1.8 mm, γ: 3.95° ± 1.78°). There were no statistically significant differences in accuracy for postgraduate year level, prior AR experience, prior EVD experience, or experience with video games ( P > .05). In comparing EVDs placed with anatomic landmarks vs VisAR navigation in a cadaver, VisAR demonstrated significantly better RMS and γ, 7.47 ± 0.94 mm and 7.12° ± 0.97°, respectively ( P ≤ .05). CONCLUSION The novel VisAR AR system resulted in accurate placement of EVDs with a rapid learning curve, which may improve clinical treatment and patient safety. Future applications of VisAR can be expanded to other cranial procedures.

Abstract
Objective Tegmen tympani or tegmen mastoideum defects involve dehiscence of the temporal bone that can be a source of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) otorrhea. Herein, we compare a combined intra-/extradural repair strategy with an extradural-only repair as it pertains to surgical and clinical outcomes. Design A retrospective review from our institution was performed of patients with tegmen defects requiring surgical intervention. Participants Patients with tegmen defects who underwent surgery (combined transmastoid and middle fossa craniotomy) for repair of tegmen defects between 2010 and 2020 were inclined in this study. Results A total of 60 patients with 40 intra-/extradural (mean follow-up time: 1,060 ± 1,103 days) and 20 extradural-only (mean follow-up time: 519 ± 369 days) repairs were identified. No major differences in demographic factors or presenting symptoms were identified between the two cohorts. There was no difference in hospital length of stay between the two patient cohorts (mean: 4.15 vs. 4.35 days, p = 0.8). In the extradural-only repair technique, synthetic bone cement was more frequently used (100 vs. 7.5%, p < 0.01), whereas in the combined intra-/extradural repair, synthetic dural substitute was used more often (80 vs. 35%, p < 0.01), with similar successful surgical outcomes achieved. Despite disparities in the techniques and materials used for repair, there were no differences in complication rates (wound infection, seizures, and ossicular fixation), 30-day readmission rates, or persistent CSF leak between the two treatment cohorts. Conclusion The results of this study suggest no difference in clinical outcomes between combined intra-/extradural versus extradural-only repair of tegmen defects. A simplified extradural-only repair strategy can be effective, and may reduce the morbidity of intradural reconstruction (seizures, stroke, and intraparenchymal hemorrhage).

Abstract
We present a search for eV-scale sterile neutrino oscillations in the MicroBooNE liquid argon detector, simultaneously considering all possible appearance and disappearance effects within the 3+1 active-to-sterile neutrino oscillation framework. We analyze the neutrino candidate events for the recent measurements of charged-current ν_{e} and ν_{μ} interactions in the MicroBooNE detector, using data corresponding to an exposure of 6.37×10^{20} protons on target from the Fermilab booster neutrino beam. We observe no evidence of light sterile neutrino oscillations and derive exclusion contours at the 95% confidence level in the plane of the mass-squared splitting Δm_{41}^{2} and the sterile neutrino mixing angles θ_{μe} and θ_{ee}, excluding part of the parameter space allowed by experimental anomalies. Cancellation of ν_{e} appearance and ν_{e} disappearance effects due to the full 3+1 treatment of the analysis leads to a degeneracy when determining the oscillation parameters, which is discussed in this Letter and will be addressed by future analyses.

Abstract
Short-lasting unilateral neuralgiform headache attacks with conjunctival injection and tearing (SUNCT) and short-lasting unilateral neuralgiform headache with autonomic symptoms (SUNA) are disabling primary headache disorders. The advent of advanced imaging technologies and surgical techniques has translated to a growing arsenal of interventional therapies capable of treating headache disorders. This literature review sheds light on the current evidence available for interventional therapies in medically intractable SUNCT/SUNA. PubMed and EMBASE were searched for publications between 1978 and 2022. Inclusion criteria were SUNCT/SUNA studies reporting outcomes following occipital nerve stimulation (ONS), pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) of sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG), stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), deep brain stimulation (DBS) or microvascular decompression (MVD) of the trigeminal nerve. A greater than 50% reduction in severity or a greater than 50% reduction in the number of attacks was defined as a successful response. The rate of successful responses for the various treatment modalities were as follows: ONS 33/41 (80.5%), PRF of SPG 5/9 (55.6%), DBS of the ventral tegmental area 14/16 (86.7%), SRS to the SPG and/or trigeminal nerve 7/9 (77.8%) and MVD 56/73 (76.7%). Mean follow-up time in months was 42.5 (ONS), 24.8 (PRF), 25.3 (DBS), 20.8 (SRS) and 42.4 (MVD). A significant proportion of SUNCT/SUNA patients remain refractory to medical therapy (45%-55%). This review discusses existing literature on interventional approaches, including neuromodulation, radiofrequency ablation, gamma knife radiosurgery and MVD. The outcomes are promising, yet limited data exist, underscoring the need for further research to develop a robust surgical management algorithm.

Abstract
Introduction Transnasal access to the anterior skull base provides a minimally invasive approach for sellar and parasellar masses compared with its open counterparts. The unique microbiome of the sinonasal mucosa provides distinct challenges not encountered with other cranial approaches. The use of antibiotics in these cases has not been standardized, and data remain scarce regarding infectious outcomes. Methods We conducted a multicenter retrospective analysis of shared quality data points for the endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) for pituitary adenomas, along with other sellar and parasellar region masses that were included by participating institutions. Patient and operative characteristics, perioperative and postoperative antibiotic regimens and their durations, intraoperative and postoperative cerebrospinal fluid leak, and onset of postoperative meningitis and sinusitis were compared. Results Fifteen institutions participated and provided 6 consecutive months' worth of case data. Five hundred ninety-three cases were included in the study, of which 564 were pituitary adenomectomies. The incidences of postoperative meningitis and sinusitis were low (0.67 and 2.87% for all pathologies, respectively; 0.35% meningitis for pituitary adenomas) and did not correlate with any specific antibiotic regimen. Immunocompromised status posed an increased odds of meningitis in pituitary adenomectomies (28.6, 95% confidence interval [1.72-474.4]). Conclusions The results show no clear benefit to postoperative antimicrobial use in EEA, with further larger studies needed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Endoscopic endonasal approaches to pediatric skull base lesions are rare, challenging, and present distinct considerations from adult pathology. In this study, we describe our endoscopic technical approach to various skull base lesions demonstrating the efficacy and nuances of these approaches in pediatric patients. METHODS Pediatric patients underwent endoscopic approach for skull base lesions from January of 2015 to April of 2021 were included in the study. Presenting symptoms, indications for surgery, surgical outcomes, intraoperative and postoperative complications, length of hospital stay, and length of follow-up were documented. RESULTS A total of 18 patients (median age 12, age-range 1-15, 53% male) underwent 19 endoscopic transsphenoidal procedures. The pathologies included craniopharyngioma (N = 5), biopsy for an unknown disease (n = 2; orbital meningioma and pituitary lymphocytic hypophysitis), pituitary adenoma (N = 2; ACTH-secreting and non-functional), Rathke's cleft cyst (n = 2), CSF leak repairs (n = 2; post-traumatic and spontaneous meningocele), juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (n = 3, 1 patient had 2 procedures) and rhabdomyosarcoma (n = 1). GTR was achieved in 11 out of 15 procedures (73.3%). Out of 10 patients with a sellar lesion, 6 patients had intraoperative CSF leak (60%). No patients experienced post-operative CSF leak. The median follow-up for all patients was 14 months (1-36 months). CONCLUSION Anterior and middle skull base pathology in pediatric patients can be effectively operated via an endoscopic approach across a wide variety of patient ages and conditions. Minimally invasive techniques with middle turbinate and nasal septum preservation can be achieved without compromising outcomes. A wide variety of surgical repair strategies can be successfully utilized.

Abstract
High-grade B-cell lymphoma (HGBL) with c-MYC and BCL2 and/or BCL6 rearrangements, also known as a double-hit and triple-hit lymphoma, is an aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma affecting older adults. After formal recognition of this entity in the 2017 revision of the World Health Organization Classification of lymphoid neoplasms, only two well-documented cases of triple-hit lymphoma of the orbit appear in the literature. Herein, we describe a 70-year-old man with progressive diplopia, ophthalmoplegia, and rapidly enlarging temporal mass. Biopsy revealed a tumor morphologically consistent with HGBL, coexpressing CD20, CD10, BCL6, BCL2, and c-MYC on immunohistochemical analysis. Fluorescence in-situ hybridization showed rearrangements in c-MYC and BCL-2 genes, confirming double-hit HGBL. Systemic workup revealed Ann Arbor stage IV disease. This report reviews the existing literature on ocular adnexal double-hit and triple-hit lymphoma and provides an update on the diagnostic ancillary studies, prognostic implications, and latest management for this aggressive hematolymphoid malignancy.

Abstract
Purpose To determine if there was a discrepancy between telemedicine versus in-person New Patient Visits (NPVs) regarding the conversion rate to operative and radiosurgery cases at a tertiary surgical neuro-oncology practice. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed of patients who had an outpatient encounter with a neurosurgeon from the Tumor Division at our institution’s Department of Neurosurgery between February 1, 2021 and April 30, 2021. NPVs during this period were registered as either telemedicine or in-person appointments. The primary endpoint of the study was to compare the rate at which telemedicine NPVs and in-person NPVs underwent surgery or radiosurgery, reported as the surgical conversion rate. Results A total of 206 patients were included in this study. Of them, 119 (57.8%) were seen using telemedicine and 87 (42.2%) were seen in clinic via an in-person visit. A total of 70 (34%) of all patients underwent surgery or radiosurgery. Of the 119 patients seen via telemedicine, 40 (33.6%) underwent surgery or radiosurgery; during the same period, 87 NPVs were conducted in person and 30 (34.5%, p = 1.0) received an intervention. Further stratification revealed no differences between the two groups across measured criteria including diagnosis, number of pre-operative visits, elapsed time from appointment to surgery, follow-up visits, and distance from home address to neurosurgical clinic. Conclusion Telemedicine NPVs did not differ significantly from in-person NPVs when evaluating the likelihood of a new patient committing to surgical treatment. This study provides quantifiable evidence that telemedicine is an effective means of meeting new patients and planning complex neurosurgical interventions.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction Wide variations exist in the management of craniopharyngiomas, including pituitary stalk preservation/sacrifice. This study examines the practice patterns over 16 years using the endoscopic endonasal approach for the resection of craniopharyngiomas and it examines the effects of stalk preservation.
Methods Retrospective analysis was conducted for 66 patients who underwent endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery for resection of craniopharyngiomas. Patients were stratified into three epochs: 2005 to 2009 (N = 20), 2010 to 2015 (N = 23), and 2016 to 2020 (N = 20), to examine the evolution of surgical outcomes. Subgroup analysis between stalk preservation/stalk sacrifice was conducted for rate of gross total resection, anterior pituitary function preservation, and development of new permanent diabetes insipidus.
Results Gross total resection rates across the first, second, and third epochs were 20, 65, and 52%, respectively (p = 0.042). Stalk preservation across epochs were 100, 5.9, and 52.6% (p = 0.0001). New permanent diabetes insipidus did not significantly change across epochs (37.5, 68.4, 71.4%; p = 0.078). Preservation of normal endocrine function across epochs was 25, 0, and 23.8%; (p = 0.001). Postoperative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks significantly decreased over time (40, 4.5, and 0%; [p = 0.0001]). Stalk preservation group retained higher normal endocrine function (40.9 vs. 0%; p = 0.001) and less normal-preoperative to postoperative panhypopituitarism (18.4 vs. 56%; p = 0.001). Stalk sacrifice group achieved higher GTR (70.8 vs. 28%, p = 0.005). At last follow-up, there was no difference in recurrence/progression rates between the two groups.
Conclusion There is a continuous evolution in the management of craniopharyngiomas. Gross total resection, higher rates of pituitary stalk and hormonal preservation, and low rates of postoperative CSF leak can be achieved with increased surgical experience.

Abstract
We present a measurement of ν_{e} interactions from the Fermilab Booster Neutrino Beam using the MicroBooNE liquid argon time projection chamber to address the nature of the excess of low energy interactions observed by the MiniBooNE Collaboration. Three independent ν_{e} searches are performed across multiple single electron final states, including an exclusive search for two-body scattering events with a single proton, a semi-inclusive search for pionless events, and a fully inclusive search for events containing all hadronic final states. With differing signal topologies, statistics, backgrounds, reconstruction algorithms, and analysis approaches, the results are found to be either consistent with or modestly lower than the nominal ν_{e} rate expectations from the Booster Neutrino Beam and no excess of ν_{e} events is observed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The proximity of craniopharyngiomas (CPs) to critical neurovascular structures can lead to a host of neurologic and endocrine complications that lead to difficulty with surgical management. In this review, we examine the molecular and genetic markers implicated in CP, their involvement in tumorigenic pathways, and their impact on CP prognosis and treatment. METHODS We undertook a focused review of relevant articles, clinical trials, and molecular summaries regarding CP. RESULTS Genetic and immunological markers show variable expression in different types of CP. BRAF is implicated in tumorigenesis in papillary CP (pCP), whereas CTNNB1 and EGFR are often overexpressed in adamantinomatous CP (aCP) and VEGF is overexpressed in aCP and recurrent CP. Targeted treatment modalities inhibiting these pathways can shrink or halt progression of CP. In addition, EGFR inhibitors may sensitize tumors to radiation therapy. These drugs show promise in medical management and neoadjuvant therapy for CP. Immunotherapy, including anti-interleukin-6 (IL-6) drugs and interferon treatment, are also effective in managing tumor growth. Ongoing clinical trials in CP are limited but are testing BRAF/MET inhibitors and IL-6 monoclonal antibodies. CONCLUSIONS Genetic and immunological markers show variable expression in different subtypes of CP. Several current molecular treatments have shown some success in the management of this disease. Additional clinical trials and targeted therapies will be important to improve CP patient outcomes.

Abstract
We report a measurement of the energy-dependent total charged-current cross section σ(E_{ν}) for inclusive muon neutrinos scattering on argon, as well as measurements of flux-averaged differential cross sections as a function of muon energy and hadronic energy transfer (ν). Data corresponding to 5.3×10^{19} protons on target of exposure were collected using the MicroBooNE liquid argon time projection chamber located in the Fermilab booster neutrino beam with a mean neutrino energy of approximately 0.8 GeV. The mapping between the true neutrino energy E_{ν} and reconstructed neutrino energy E_{ν}^{rec} and between the energy transfer ν and reconstructed hadronic energy E_{had}^{rec} are validated by comparing the data and Monte Carlo (MC) predictions. In particular, the modeling of the missing hadronic energy and its associated uncertainties are verified by a new method that compares the E_{had}^{rec} distributions between data and a MC prediction after constraining the reconstructed muon kinematic distributions, energy, and polar angle to those of data. The success of this validation gives confidence that the missing energy in the MicroBooNE detector is well modeled and underpins first-time measurements of both the total cross section σ(E_{ν}) and the differential cross section dσ/dν on argon.

Abstract
We report results from a search for neutrino-induced neutral current (NC) resonant Δ(1232) baryon production followed by Δ radiative decay, with a ⟨0.8⟩ GeV neutrino beam. Data corresponding to MicroBooNE's first three years of operations (6.80×10^{20} protons on target) are used to select single-photon events with one or zero protons and without charged leptons in the final state (1γ1p and 1γ0p, respectively). The background is constrained via an in situ high-purity measurement of NC π^{0} events, made possible via dedicated 2γ1p and 2γ0p selections. A total of 16 and 153 events are observed for the 1γ1p and 1γ0p selections, respectively, compared to a constrained background prediction of 20.5±3.65(syst) and 145.1±13.8(syst) events. The data lead to a bound on an anomalous enhancement of the normalization of NC Δ radiative decay of less than 2.3 times the predicted nominal rate for this process at the 90% confidence level (C.L.). The measurement disfavors a candidate photon interpretation of the MiniBooNE low-energy excess as a factor of 3.18 times the nominal NC Δ radiative decay rate at the 94.8% C.L., in favor of the nominal prediction, and represents a greater than 50-fold improvement over the world's best limit on single-photon production in NC interactions in the sub-GeV neutrino energy range.

Abstract
Introduction Pituitary adenomas (PAs) are one of the most common types of intracranial neoplasm with increased incidence in elderly patients. The outcomes of endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery (ETS) specifically on elderly patients remain unclear. Methods We performed a retrospective cohort study to compare elderly patients (age ≥65 years) with nonelderly patients (age <65 years) who underwent ETS for PA from January 2005 to December 2020. Surgical outcomes, including extent of resection, complication profile, length of stay, and endocrinopathy rates, were compared between elderly and nonelderly patients. Results A total of 690 patients were included, with 197 (29%) being elderly patients. Elderly patients showed higher rates of hypertension ( p < 0.05), myocardial infarction ( p < 0.01), and atrial fibrillation ( p = 0.01) but not other comorbidities. Elderly patients also had more frequent optic nerve involvement (72 vs. 61% of cases, p = 0.01). Tumor characteristics and other patient variables were otherwise similar between younger and elderly patients. Postoperative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks (2 vs. 2%, p = 0.8), 30-day readmission, reoperation, postoperative complications, and postoperative endocrinopathies were similar between younger and older patients. Subdividing patients into age <65, 65 to 79, and >80 years also did not demonstrate a worsening of surgical outcomes with age. Conclusion For well-selected elderly patients in experienced endoscopic skull base centers, good surgical outcomes similarly to younger patients may be achieved.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) remains a challenging disease with debilitating symptoms and variable efficacy in terms of treatment options. Microvascular decompression (MVD) with internal neurolysis (IN) is an alternative treatment that might benefit patients but has limited understanding. We performed a systematic review of IN for the treatment of TN. METHODS Studies from 2000 to 2021 that had assessed IN for TN were aggregated and independently reviewed. RESULTS A total of 520 patients in 12 studies were identified, with 384 who had undergone IN (mean age, 53.8 years; range, 46-61.4 years; mean follow-up, 36.5 months). Preoperative symptoms had been present for ∼55.0 months before treatment, and pain was predominantly in V2 and V3 (26.8%), followed by other distributions. Of the patients, 83.7% (range, 72%-93.8%) had had an excellent to good outcome (Barrow Neurological Institute pain scale score [BNI-PS], I-II). The pain outcomes at 1 year were excellent for 58%-78.4%, good or better for 77%-93.75%, and fair or better for 80%-93.75% of the patients. On average, facial numbness after IN was experienced by 96% of the patients. However, at follow-up, facial numbness remained in only 1.75%-10%. Most of the remaining numbness was not significantly distressing to the patients. Subgroup comparisons of IN versus recurrent MVD, IN versus radiofrequency ablation, the effects of IN in the absence of vascular compression, and IN with and without MVD were also evaluated. CONCLUSIONS IN represents a promising surgical intervention for TN in the absence of vascular compression and for potential cases of recurrence. Complications were limited in general but require further study.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE While multiple studies have evaluated the length of stay after endonasal transsphenoidal surgery (ETS) for pituitary adenoma, the potential for early discharge on postoperative day 1 (POD 1) remains unclear. The authors compared patients discharged on POD 1 with patients discharged on POD > 1 to better characterize factors that facilitate early discharge after ETS. METHODS A retrospective chart review was performed for patients undergoing ETS for pituitary adenoma at a single tertiary care academic center from February 2005 to February 2020. Discharge on POD 1 was defined as a discharge within 24 hours of surgery. RESULTS A total of 726 patients (mean age 55 years, 52% male) were identified, of whom 178 (24.5%) patients were discharged on POD 1. These patients were more likely to have pituitary incidentaloma (p = 0.001), require dural substitutes and DuraSeal (p = 0.0001), have fewer intraoperative CSF leaks (p = 0.02), and have lower postoperative complication rates (p = 0.006) compared with patients discharged on POD > 1. POD 1 patients also showed higher rates of macroadenomas (96.1% vs 91.4%, p = 0.03) and lower rates of functional tumors (p = 0.02). POD > 1 patients were more likely to have readmission within 30 days (p = 0.002), readmission after 30 days (p = 0.0001), nasal synechiae on follow-up (p = 0.003), diabetes insipidus (DI; 1.7% vs 9.8%, p = 0.0001), postoperative hypocortisolism (21.8% vs 12.1%, p = 0.01), and postoperative steroid usage (44.6% vs 59.7%, p = 0.003). The number of patients discharged on POD 1 significantly increased during each subsequent time epoch: 2005-2010, 2011-2015, and 2016-2020 (p = 0.0001). On multivariate analysis, DI (OR 7.02, 95% CI 2.01-24.57; p = 0.002) and intraoperative leak (OR 2.02, 95% CI 1.25-3.28; p = 0.004) were associated with increased risk for POD > 1 discharge, while operation epoch (OR 0.46, 95% CI 0.3-0.71; p = 0.0001) was associated with POD 1 discharge. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates that discharge on POD 1 after ETS for pituitary adenomas was safe and feasible and without increased risk of 30-day readmission. On multivariate analysis, surgical epoch was associated with decreased risk of prolonged length of stay, while factors associated with increased risk of prolonged length of stay included DI and intraoperative CSF leak. These findings may help in selecting patients who are deemed reasonable for safe, early discharge after pituitary adenoma resection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative prophylactic antibiotics are commonly used in pituitary surgery, but evidence supporting their use is lacking, which has implications for antibiotic stewardship. OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether receipt of postoperative oral antibiotics results in superior sinonasal quality of life (QOL) compared with placebo among patients who undergo endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal pituitary surgery. METHODS Patients were randomized to receive either oral placebo or cefdinir (trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole in patients intolerant to cefdinir) for 7 d after surgery. They were monitored for 12 wk. The primary outcome measure was sinonasal QOL at 2 wk on the Anterior Skull Base Nasal Inventory-12. Supplementary end points included sinonasal QOL reported on the Sinonasal Outcome Test-22 and objective endoscopy scores to assess nasal healing according to the Lund-Kennedy method. RESULTS A total of 461 patients were screened, 131 were randomized, and 113 (placebo arm: 55; antibiotic arm: 58) were analyzed. There was no clinically meaningful or statistically significant difference in sinonasal QOL at any measured time point (P ≥ .24) using either instrument. Nasal cavity endoscopy scores were not significantly different at 1 to 2 wk after surgery (P = .25) or at 3 to 4 wk after surgery (P = .08). CONCLUSION Postoperative prophylactic oral antibiotics did not result in superior sinonasal QOL compared with placebo among patients who underwent standard endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although World Health Organization (WHO) grade I meningiomas are considered "benign" tumors, an elevated Ki-67 is one crucial factor that has been shown to influence tumor behavior and clinical outcomes. The ability to preoperatively discern Ki-67 would confer the ability to guide surgical strategy. OBJECTIVE In this study, we develop a machine learning (ML) algorithm using radiomic feature analysis to predict Ki-67 in WHO grade I meningiomas. METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed for a cohort of 306 patients who underwent surgical resection of WHO grade I meningiomas. Preoperative magnetic resonance imaging was used to perform radiomic feature extraction followed by ML modeling using least absolute shrinkage and selection operator wrapped with support vector machine through nested cross-validation on a discovery cohort (n = 230), to stratify tumors based on Ki-67 <5% and ≥5%. The final model was independently tested on a replication cohort (n = 76). RESULTS An area under the receiver operating curve (AUC) of 0.84 (95% CI: 0.78-0.90) with a sensitivity of 84.1% and specificity of 73.3% was achieved in the discovery cohort. When this model was applied to the replication cohort, a similar high performance was achieved, with an AUC of 0.83 (95% CI: 0.73-0.94), sensitivity and specificity of 82.6% and 85.5%, respectively. The model demonstrated similar efficacy when applied to skull base and nonskull base tumors. CONCLUSION Our proposed radiomic feature analysis can be used to stratify WHO grade I meningiomas based on Ki-67 with excellent accuracy and can be applied to skull base and nonskull base tumors with similar performance achieved.

Abstract
We present a search for the decays of a neutral scalar boson produced by kaons decaying at rest, in the context of the Higgs portal model, using the MicroBooNE detector. We analyze data triggered in time with the Fermilab NuMI neutrino beam spill, with an exposure of 1.93×10^{20} protons on target. We look for monoenergetic scalars that come from the direction of the NuMI hadron absorber, at a distance of 100 m from the detector, and decay to electron-positron pairs. We observe one candidate event, with a standard model background prediction of 1.9±0.8. We set an upper limit on the scalar-Higgs mixing angle of θ<(3.3-4.6)×10^{-4} at the 95% confidence level for scalar boson masses in the range (100-200) MeV/c^{2}. We exclude, at the 95% confidence level, the remaining model parameters required to explain the central value of a possible excess of K_{L}^{0}→π^{0}νν[over ¯] decays reported by the KOTO collaboration. We also provide a model-independent limit on a new boson X produced in K→πX decays and decaying to e^{+}e^{-}.

Abstract
Introduction Pituitary adenomas are a common intracranial pathology with an incidence of 15 to 20% in the population while cerebral aneurysms are less common with a prevalence of 1:50 patients. The incidence of aneurysms in patients with pituitary adenoma has been estimated at 2.3 to 5.4% of patients; however, this remains unclear. Equally, the management of concomitant lesions lacks significant understanding. Methods A case report is presented of a concomitant cerebral aneurysm and pituitary adenoma managed by minimally invasive endovascular and endoscopic methods, respectively. A systematic review of the literature for terms "pituitary adenoma" and "aneurysm" yielded 494 studies that were narrowed to 19 relevant articles. Results We report a case of a 67-year-old patient with an enlarging pituitary macroadenoma, cavernous carotid aneurysm, and unilateral carotid occlusion. After successful treatment of the aneurysm by a pipeline flow diverter, the pituitary adenoma was surgically resected by an endoscopic transsphenoidal approach. Conclusion The use of a pipeline flow diverter and endonasal approach was feasible in the treatment of our patient. This is the first report to our knowledge of the use of pipeline flow diversion in the management of a cavernous carotid aneurysm prior to pituitary adenoma treatment.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction In pituitary adenomas (PAs), the use of postoperative steroid supplementation remains controversial, as it reduces peritumoral edema and sinonasal complaints but disrupts the detection of adrenal insufficiency (AI). It is unclear whether postoperative cortisol supplementation has a measurable effect on improving outcomes in patients with pituitary adenoma undergoing endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery (ETS). The objective of the study was to evaluate a postoperative steroid treatment protocol on various surgical outcomes in patients with PA undergoing ETS.
Methods A retrospective cohort study was performed for patients undergoing ETS from 2005 to 2020 for PA at a single tertiary academic center. Patients were divided into two groups: those managed by a routine postoperative glucocorticoid supplementation protocol (steroid protocol) and those who received supplementation based on postoperative cortisol laboratory assessment (steroid sparing protocol). Management was otherwise the same between groups. Evaluation of length of stay (LOS), sinonasal outcomes, 30-day readmission, and perioperative complications, including AI, were performed.
Results Among 535 patients, 21% (n = 111) received postoperative steroids, while the remainder (n = 424) did not. There were no differences in mean LOS (3 vs. 3 days, p = 0.72), sinonasal complaints (27 vs. 19%, p = 0.12), 30-day readmission (5% vs. 5%, p = 0.44), and perioperative complications (5 vs. 5%, p = 0.79) between both the groups. A multivariate model supported that both groups were comparable in predicting LOS, 30-day readmission, and complications. No reduction in readmission for AI was seen.
Conclusion Routine administration of postoperative glucocorticoids did not significantly improve patient outcomes in patients with PA who underwent ETS.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction Pituitary apoplexy is an uncommon clinical condition that can require urgent surgical intervention, but the factors resulting in recurrent apoplexy remain unclear. The purpose of this study is to determine the risks of a recurrent apoplexy and better understand the goals of surgical treatment.
Methods A retrospective chart review was performed for all consecutive patients diagnosed and surgically treated for pituitary apoplexy from 2004 to 2021. Univariate analysis was performed to identify risk factors associated with recurrent apoplexy.
Results A total of 115 patients were diagnosed with pituitary apoplexy with 11 patients showing recurrent apoplexy. This occurred at a rate of 2.2 cases per 100 patient-years of follow-up. There were no major differences in demographic factors, such as hypertension or anticoagulation use. There were no differences in tumor locations, cavernous sinus invasion, or tumor volumes (6.84 ± 4.61 vs. 9.15 ± 8.45 cm, p = 0.5). Patients with recurrent apoplexy were less likely to present with headache (27.3%) or ophthalmoplegia (9.1%). Recurrent apoplexy was associated with prior radiation (0.0 vs. 27.3%, p = 0.0001) and prior subtotal resection (10.6 vs. 90.9%, p = 0.0001) compared with first time apoplexy. The mean time to recurrent apoplexy was 48.3 ± 76.9 months and no differences in overall follow-up were seen in this group.
Conclusion Recurrent pituitary apoplexy represents a rare event with limited understanding of pathophysiology. Prior STR and radiation treatment are associated with an increased risk. The relatively long time from the first apoplectic event to a recurrence suggests long-term patient follow-up is necessary.

Abstract
BACKGROUND
Cushing’s disease (CD) remains a challenging condition to diagnose and treat. This case study highlights the challenges of diagnosing CD when faced with discrepant clinical, biochemical, and radiological findings.
OBSERVATIONS
A 62-year-old man presented with rapid evolution of symptoms, including depression, fatigue, and extreme muscle atrophy, which resulted in the patient being a wheelchair user over the course of a few months. His rapid clinical course in conjunction with hypercortisolemia in the setting of a pituitary macroadenoma involving the cavernous sinus, two large pulmonary nodules, and urine-free cortisol levels in the thousands suggested an aggressive ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) source. After extensive testing ruled out CD from an ectopic source and because of the patient’s abrupt clinical deterioration, the authors concluded that the source was likely an aggressive pituitary adenoma. Therefore, the authors performed an endonasal transsphenoidal approach for resection of the pituitary adenoma involving the cavernous sinus, and the patient was scheduled for radiosurgery to control tumor progression.
LESSONS
Although extremely high levels of cortisol and ACTH are associated with ectopic Cushing’s syndrome, they may also indicate an aggressive form of CD. Suspicion should be maintained for hypercortisolemia from a pituitary source even when faced with discrepant information that may suggest an ectopic source.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Sinonasal Outcomes Test-22 (SNOT-22) is used widely as a patient-reported sinonasal quality-of-life (QOL) instrument for endoscopic endonasal pituitary surgery. However, it has never been validated in this population. This study explores the psychometric validity of SNOT-22 to determine if it is a valid scale in patients undergoing endoscopic pituitary surgery. STUDY DESIGN Multicenter prospective trial. METHODS Adult patients (n = 113) with pituitary tumors undergoing endoscopic surgery were enrolled in a multicenter study. Patient-reported QOL was assessed using SNOT-22 and the Anterior Skull Base Nasal Inventory-12. Face validity, internal consistency, responsiveness to clinical change, test-retest reliability, and concurrent validity were determined using standard statistical methods. RESULTS Internal consistency using Cronbach's alpha at baseline and 2 weeks postoperatively were 0.911 and 0.922, indicating SNOT-22 performed well as a single construct. Mean QOL scores were significantly worse at 2 weeks than baseline (16.4 ± 15.1 vs. 23.1 ± 16.4, P < .001), indicating the scale is responsive to clinical change. However, only 11/22 items demonstrated significant changes in mean scores at 2 weeks. Correlation between scores at 2 and 3 weeks was high, suggesting good test-retest reliability, r(107) = 0.75, P < .001. Factor analysis suggests the five-factor solution proposed for the SNOT-22 in rhinosinusitis patients is not valid in pituitary surgery patients. CONCLUSIONS The SNOT-22 is a valid QOL instrument in patients undergoing endoscopic pituitary surgery. However, because it includes 22 items, can be applied only as a single construct, 50% of the items do not demonstrate changes after surgery, and is not as sensitive to change as other scales, shorter instruments developed specifically for this patient population may be preferable.

Abstract
2056 Background: Standard of care for patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma includes concurrent chemoradiation and maintenance temozolomide with Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields). Preclinical studies suggest TTFields and radiation treatment have synergistic effects. We report our clinical trial evaluating safety and tolerability of scalp-sparing radiation with concurrent temozolomide and TTFields. Methods: This is a single arm pilot study. Adult patients (age ≥ 18 years) with newly diagnosed glioblastoma and a KPS of ≥ 60 were eligible. All patients received concurrent scalp-sparing radiation (60 Gy in 30 fractions) with temozolomide (75 mg/m2 daily) and TTFields (200 kHz). Maintenance therapy included temozolomide and continuation of TTFields. Radiation treatment was delivered through TTFields arrays. The primary endpoint was safety and toxicity of TTFields concurrent with chemoradiation in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma. Results: A total of 30 patients were enrolled in the trial. Twenty were male and ten were female, with a median age of 58 years (range 19 to 77 years). Median KPS was 90 (range 70 to 100). Median follow-up was 8.9 months (range 1.6 to 21.4 months). Twenty (66.7%) patients had unmethylated MGMT promotor status and ten (33.3%) patients had methylated promoter status. Median time from surgery to radiation was 34 days (26 to 49 days). Scalp dose constraints were achieved for all patients, with the mean dose having a median value of 8.3 Gy (range 4.3 to 14.8 Gy), the D20cc median was 26.1 Gy (range 17.7 to 42.8 Gy), and the D30cc median was 23.5 Gy (range 14.8 to 35.4 Gy). Skin adverse events (AEs; erythema, dermatitis, irritation, folliculitis) were noted in 83.3% of patients, however, these were limited to Grade 1 or 2 events, which resolved spontaneously or with topical medications. No patient had radiation treatment interruption due to skin AEs. Other Grade 1 events included pruritus (33.3%), fatigue (30%), nausea (13.3%), headache (10%), dizziness (6.7%), and cognitive impairment (3.3%). Other Grade 2 events included headache (3.3%). Nineteen patients (63.3%) had progression, with a median PFS of 7.6 months (range 1.6 to 12.7 months). Overall survival was not reached. Conclusions: Concurrent TTFields (200 kHz) with scalp-sparing chemoradiation is a safe and feasible treatment option with limited toxicity. Future randomized prospective trials are warranted to define therapeutic advantages of concurrent TTFields with chemoradiation. Clinical trial information: NCT03477110.

Abstract
Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), formerly known as Wegener's granulomatosis, is a small- and medium-vessel autoimmune vasculitis. Rare presentations of GPA can manifest as ophthalmologic and endocrinological deficits with sellar enhancement on imaging. While GPA typically presents distinct in appearance from other sellar pathologies, such as pituitary adenoma, we report the case of a 41-year-old woman with GPA of the pituitary that was initially diagnosed as pituitary macroadenoma with apoplexy and treated with two surgical resections without improvement of clinical symptoms. Pathology analysis of the second resection specimen revealed an inflammatory process consistent with GPA. After the pathologic and clinical diagnosis of GPA was established, treatment with steroid and steroid-sparing immunosuppressants resulted in improvements both on imaging and symptomatically. We discuss important aspects of the diagnosis and treatment of this rare presentation of GPA.

Abstract
Abstract
Objectives A variety of endonasal sellar repair techniques have been described; many are complex, multilayered, and carry potential morbidity. We propose an effective, technically simple single-layer repair for select sellar defects, including those with an intraoperative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak. Our technique utilizes only a synthetic dural substitute inlay and dural sealant glue without packing or lumbar drainage.
Design This is a retrospective review-based study.
Setting This study was conducted at tertiary care center.
Participants Patients who underwent endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery for pituitary adenoma and sellar reconstruction with the aforementioned inlay technique. Patients were selected for this technique if they had an identified intraoperative CSF leak, a patulous diaphragm (expanded and thinned diaphragma sella), or a comorbidity excluding them from a simpler onlay only reconstruction.
Outcome Measures Postoperative CSF leak and sinonasal morbidity included in the study
Results A total of 409 subjects were identified; 368 were initial resections. Gross total resection of the pituitary adenoma was achieved in 356 (87.0%) cases. Average tumor size was 2.6 ± 1.1 cm. Average tumor volume was 10.8 ± 12.1 cm3. There were 135 intraoperative CSF leaks and 196 patulous diaphragms. There were five postoperative CSF leaks (1.2%), all of which occurred in the first half of our series. Pre- and postoperative sino-nasal outcomes test-22 scores were 19.2 ± 18.2 and 18.8 ± 21.3 (p = 0.492), respectively.
Conclusion A synthetic dural substitute inlay and dural sealant glue is an excellent single-layer repair for sellar defects, even those with an intraoperative CSF leak. This technique is highly effective in preventing postoperative CSF leaks and does not utilize packing or lumbar drainage. It also avoids the potential cost and morbidity associated with more complex and multilayered closures.
