Background: The interest in clinical research is growing worldwide, and the involvement of medical students in academic and clinical research is increasing. Medical students in Iraq have started to focus on academic activities. However, this trend is in its infancy due to limited resources and the war burden. Their interest in the field of Neurosurgery has been evolving recently. This is the first paper that aims to assess the status of the academic productivity of Iraqi medical students within the neurosurgical field. Methods: We searched the PubMed Medline database and Google scholar between January 2020 and December 2022 with a different combination of keywords. Additional results were obtained by individually searching for all the medical universities in Iraq that participated in the neurosurgical literature. Results: Between January 2020 and December 2022, 60 neurosurgical publications included Iraqi medical students. 47 Iraqi medical students from 9 universities (the University of Baghdad 28 students, followed by 6 students from the University of Al-Nahrain, and others) were involved in these 60 neurosurgery publications. The topics of these publications are “vascular neurosurgery” (n = 36) followed by “neurotrauma” (n = 11). Conclusion: Academic productivity of Iraqi medical students in the field of Neurosurgery has surged in the last 3 years. In the past 3 years, 47 Iraqi medical students from nine different Iraqi universities contributed to sixty international neurosurgical publications. However, there are challenges that are required to be tackled to establish a research-friendly environment despite wars and restrained resources.

The parasellar region is the anatomical area around the sella turcica that represents a crucial crossroad for important adjacent structures. Several distinct tumors can primarily originate from this area, the most common being meningiomas, gliomas, embryonal cell tumors, germ cell tumors and craniopharyngiomas. In addition, a number of systemic and inflammatory disorders can also affect the parasellar region most commonly involving the pituitary. These lesions have different pathology characteristics and malignant potential according to the new WHO CNS5 2021 classification. Signs and symptoms may be non-specific and are mostly related to a mass effect on the surrounding anatomical structures and/or impairment of endocrine function whereas the vast majority lack a secretory component. The mutational signature analysis based on advances in molecular techniques, has recently enabled the identification of specific gene mutations or signalling pathway aberrations. These developments may serve as a powerful mean to delineate the pathophysiology of these lesions and serve as a diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic tool, particularly for high-risk populations. Treatment options include surgery alone or in combination with radiotherapy, chemotherapy and disease-specific medical therapy in order to prevent recurrence or further tumor growth along with replacement of coexistent pituitary hormonal deficiencies. In this comprehensive review, we present current state-of-the-art developments in the histopathology and molecular biology of these lesions that may be utilized by a dedicated multidisciplinary team of relevant specialties for the diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of the parasellar lesions that often represent a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge.
