We have noted that headache was the most common, but not universally present, presenting symptom of TP (44% of cases). [ijciis.org]

The present case is unique as it was treated with minimally invasive endoscopic method hitting the root cause of disease. It avoided the complications of extensive craniotomy. [neurologyindia.com]
