“…The infection rate was 3% in our study. This rate is similar to that reported by Djientcheu et al [5] and Smith [14] which were 3.9% and 4.9%, respectively, higher than 2.1% that was reported by Fu et al [10] and lower than 7.31% that was reported by Pereira et al [21]. Instrumental fixation and a long duration of the procedure would expose the patient to an infectious risk.…”

“…The mean age of our patients was 52.3±10.9 years. This age was 55.9±14.5 years according to Schoenfield et al [25], 53.1±17.5 years according to Péreira et al [21], 51.47 years according to Sanoussi et al [9] and 57.3 years according to Djientcheu et al [5]. All these authors, like others [4,15], have not found a correlation between the age of the patients and the occurrence of post-operative complications.…”

“…The frequency of post-operative complications of LSS varies from study to study. The rate was 7% according to Fu et al [10], 7.6% according to Schoenfield et al [25], whereas Djientcheu et al [5] reported a relatively higher rate of 10.9%. In searching for factors predictive of complications, some authors wanted to establish a correlation [10,15,21,25].…”

“…Lumbar spine surgery for various reasons is common in neurosurgical departments, even in under-equipped medical centers [5,6,8,9]. Owing to the high incidence of lumbar spine surgeries, institutional surveillance is necessary to keep the surgical standards at a standard level [10,17,23].…”

“…Both the clinical manifestations and imaging facilitate the diagnosis and selection of surgical strategy [1][2][3][4]. Surgical management of LSS is very important in neurosurgical practice in sub-Saharan Africa [5][6][7][8][9]. Based on the published literature, the post-operative results are usually satisfactory.…”

Background and Aim: Surgical management of Lumbar Spinal Stenosis (LSS) is a common practice. This study aimed to report the morbidities and mortalities observed during surgical treatment of LSS and the outcome of these patients after management over an 8-year study period. Methods and Materials/Patients: It was a retrospective, descriptive, and transversal study performed at the Departmental Teaching Hospital of Borgou in the Republic of Benin (West Africa) from January 2010 to December 2018. This study included the patients who underwent surgical management for LSS. Type of complication, its management, and the patient’s outcomes was registered. Results: During the study period and based on the selection criteria, 239 patients were selected. These patients were divided into 135 men (56.5%) and 104 women (43.5%). The mean age of the patients was 52.3±10.9 years. Laminectomy was performed on one, two, and three lumbar spinal segments in 17.6%, 55.6% and 26.8% of cases, respectively. Laminectomy was associated with discectomy in 6.3% of the cases. No arthrodesis with spinal fixation was performed. Ninety percent of patients had no post-operative complications. Functional post-operative results were considered excellent, good, acceptable and poor in 32.1%, 52.1%, 10.9% and 4.9% of cases, respectively. Five types of complications were observed in 22 patients (9.2%). A reoperation was performed in 1.6% of cases. These different complications included dural tear (4.6%), wound infection (3.3%), stroke (0.8%), cauda equina syndrome (0.4%) and pseudomeningocele (0.4%). The mortality rate was 0.8% (n=2). Conclusion: Lumbar canal stenosis surgery is not without complications. Careful selection of patients, consideration of risk factors, and selection of an appropriate surgical strategy can reduce or avoid these complications.

Background: The incidence of intracranial metastases (ICMET) has been steadily rising, and its frequency with respect to primary brain tumours is relatively high. Objective: The objectives of this study were to elucidate the current epidemiology and describe the clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic features of ICMET in Yaounde. Method and findings: A descriptive crosssectional study was done in the neurosurgery departments of the General and Central Hospitals of Yaounde during the period from January 2016 to December 2022. We included all medical booklets of patients admitted for a tumoral intracranial expansive process with our target population being patients with histological evidence of ICMET, and did a retrospective inclusion of data using a pre-established technical form aimed at collecting sociodemographic data, clinical data, paraclinical data, and the treatment procedures. Analysis was done using the SPSS statistical software. A total of 614 cases of intracranial tumors were included among whom 35 presented histological evidence of ICMET. This gives a frequency of 5.7%. The sex ratio was 0.94, the mean age was 55.68 +/− 14.4 years, extremes 28 and 86 years and the age range 50 -59 was affected in 28.57% of cases.
