    OBJECTIVE The utilization of digital technologies has experienced a notable surge, particularly in cases where access to cadavers is constrained, within the context of practical neuroanatomy training. This study evaluates augmented reality (AR)- and virtual reality (VR)-based educational models for neuroanatomy education. METHODS Three-dimensional models were created using advanced photogrammetry. VR- and AR-based educational models were developed by arranging these 3D models to align with the learning objectives of neurosurgery residents and second-year medical students whose cadaveric training was disrupted due to an earthquake in Turkey. Participants engaged with and evaluated the VR- and AR-based educational models, followed by the completion of a 20-item graded user experience survey. A 10-question mini-test was given to assess the baseline knowledge level prior to training and to measure the achievement of learning objectives after training. RESULTS Forty neurosurgery residents were trained with a VR-based educational model using VR headsets. An AR-based educational model was provided online to 200 second-year medical students for their practical neuroanatomy lesson. The average correct answer rates before the training were 7.5/10 for residents and 4.8/10 for students. These rates were significantly improved after the training to 9.7/10 for residents and to 8.7/10 for students (p < 0.001). Feedback from the users concurred that VR- and AR-based training could significantly enhance the learning experience in the field of neuroanatomy. CONCLUSIONS VR/AR-based educational models have the potential to improve education. VR/AR-based training systems can serve as an auxiliary tool in neuroanatomy training, offering a realistic alternative to traditional learning tools. © AANS 2024.

    Medical management of chronic subdural hematoma with low-dose hydrocortisone: a case series

    Chronic subdural hematomas (cSDH) are often managed with a burr-hole craniostomy and drainage, but surgery is associated with elevated mortality, morbidity, and recurrence. Despite reports of steroid use for such patients, its efficacy and feasibility are still debated. We present our patient series treated with low-dose hydrocortisone. We retrospectively reviewed data from patients treated with hydrocortisone between 2017 and 2023. Demographics, clinical and radiological data were collected. Of 27 patients identified, nine required a burr-hole craniotomy for an average volume of 120.23 cm3, average midline shift of 9 mm, and neurological deficits. Eighteen met the criteria for inclusion. The mean age was 78.5 years; 13 were male. None had severe symptoms requiring urgent intervention. Except for one with a Karnofsky Performance Scale score of 70, all could maintain normal activity before treatment. The mean baseline volume was 52.6 cm3. Midline shift, present in six, averaged 6.8 mm. Patients underwent treatment for an average of 5.15 months. Nine had complete resolution within 3 months, while nine required longer treatment, including one who needed 9 months for a re-bleed after a fall. Paired t-tests indicated significant reductions in hematoma volumes at the second week (p = 0.01), first month (p < 0.0001), and third month (p < 0.0001) of treatment. No complications occurred and the post-treatment Karnofsky scores ranged from 90 to 100. Treatment for cSDH should be tailored to the patient. Low-dose hydrocortisone is safe and effective in asymptomatic patients, those with mild to moderate symptoms, and those who are either unsuitable for or decline surgical intervention. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2024.
