Schilder's diffuse myelinoclastic sclerosis is a rare demyelinating disease which often mimics intracranial neoplasm or abscess. We have treated 3 patients with this disorder in the past 5 years and followed their postoperative course. Certain distinct features of this disease will allow neurosurgeons to preoperatively entertain this diagnosis. We discuss postoperative treatment and propose a new hypothesis regarding the variable prognoses of this disorder. Schilder's disease constitutes an important diagnosis for any neurosurgeon to be aware of (especially those treating the pediatric age group) which has not received adequate coverage in the neurosurgical literature.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 09 November 2022.
All research outputs
#7,564,023
of 23,072,295 outputs
Outputs from Pediatric Neurosurgery
#61
of 404 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#10,656
of 35,250 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Pediatric Neurosurgery
#2
of 4 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,072,295 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 404 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.9. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 35,250 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 9th percentile – i.e., 9% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 4 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 2 of them.
