- The intersection of neurosurgery and legal issues has intensified due to reported increases in litigation rates in several regions, particularly in high-risk specialties such as spine surgery. This study investigates the trends and implications of medicolegal challenges in neurosurgery across various countries, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive understanding among practitioners and policymakers. This scoping review followed the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. A literature search was conducted across databases, including PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, using key terms such as "neurosurgery," "malpractice," and "litigation," focusing on peer-reviewed studies published within the past 15 years. Inclusion criteria targeted studies detailing claims specific to neurosurgeons, while excluding non-related literature. No formal quality appraisal of included studies was performed, consistent with the objectives of a scoping review. Of the 180 identified studies, 13 met the eligibility criteria and collectively reported on 3,728 malpractice claims, predominantly from high-income countries, with 63% originating in the United States. While most cases favored neurosurgeons (61.29% overall), variations existed by region, reflecting differences in legal environments. Across the included studies, the distribution of reported claims over the study period appeared variable, with no consistent temporal trend identified. Notably, high monetary compensations were observed, with the U.S. averaging $439,146 per claim. These compensation figures are presented descriptively and do not imply comparative financial impact. The review highlights the predominance of litigation associated with spinal procedures and describes the reported influence of defensive medicine on clinical decision-making. Despite favorable outcomes for neurosurgeons in low- to middle-income countries, the relatively lower number of reported claims may suggest possible underreporting in these settings. The findings underscore the need for improved documentation, communication strategies in clinical practice, and support systems for neurosurgeons. Continued research is necessary to better understand the relationship between medicolegal processes and patient care outcomes. - Source: PubMed

Reyes Christopher Brian MOrata Rhoby UOntok Abdul A - The reactivation of the varicella zoster virus (VZV) is the cause of herpes zoster (HZ), usually referred to as shingles. Once an individual has been previously infected with chickenpox, the virus stays dormant in their nervous system and may reactivate later in life, leading to HZ. HZ poses a significant burden on the healthcare system due to its high prevalence. Older adults and individuals with compromised immune function are at higher risk of viral reactivation. Vaccination against HZ is a highly effective strategy in preventing viral recurrence and its associated complications. However, recognizing rare post-vaccination zoster-like cutaneous eruptions is essential. In this report, we present a rare instance of a clinically suspected HZ-like eruption in an 85-year-old man who developed an erythematous maculopapular rash with scattered vesicular lesions on his right neck and shoulder one day after receiving a standard dosage vaccine. The patient was treated with valacyclovir for seven days. The immediate recognition of healthcare professionals is the aim of this report to promote early diagnosis and treatment. - Source: PubMed
