A pineal region germ cell tumor with rapid enlargement after a long-term follow-up: case report.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:We describe an easy and useful method for treating hemifacial spasm related to the vertebral artery. METHODS:The technique entails the manufacture of a dural belt harvested from the cerebellar convexity dura and a dural bridge made at the petrous dura combined with the use of an aneurysm clip. The dural belt...
