We are so excited to welcome Dr. Tim Chryssikos back to Maryland Neurosurgery as spine surgery faculty! Dr. Chryssikos is finishing his fellowship UCSF Neurosurgery, and will help us continue to grow our MIS, trauma, oncology, and deformity spine programs. Our team keeps growing!


Finished a case with my buddy Ken, former University of Maryland School of Medicine classmate and now Maryland Surgery resident. Time flies!

This video shows the approach to clipping of a L PcoA aneurysm after opening up the sylvian fissure. It's important to ensure normal flow of L PcoA and AChA after the clipping Maryland Neurosurgery #aneurysm #Neurosurgery

For this week's video, we have a resection of meningioma in the pineal region. The patient is in sitting position and some relevant anatomy can be observed. Maryland Neurosurgery ALHUSAIN NAGM, MD, MSc, PhD-Japan, FNE-Germany Nicholas Caffes #Neurosurgery #braintumor

This week, we have a resection of a 4th ventricular epidermoid cyst. It's important to know the anatomy well because we don't always operate the right side up! Maryland Neurosurgery ALHUSAIN NAGM, MD, MSc, PhD-Japan, FNE-Germany Nicholas Caffes #Neurosurgery #braintumor #skullbase #skullbase360

Gratifying to see my chief resident Nicholas Caffes sharply dissecting and clipping these aneurysms! Maryland Neurosurgery #Neurosurgery #aneurysm #skullbase #skullbase360

PGY-3 Riccardo Serra suturing an STA-MCA bypass using a radial artery graft with Dr. Mohamed A. Labib, MD. Microsurgery skills are essential in vascular neurosurgery


Here we have an interesting case of high flow bypass and trapping of a complex MCA aneurysm.

Congrats Jesse Stokum PGY4 on his study in Science Magazine Signaling. The team identified a cascade that induced the translocation of AQP4 channels to the cell membrane. Blocking this reduced brain swelling and improved recovery from stroke CV Section rb.gy/7i7lu

Congrats to our graduating chiefs Dr. Jeff Oliver and Dr. Nick Caffes. Dr. Oliver will start an endovascular fellowship at Geisinger Neurosurgery, Dr. Caffes will start a neurovascular fellowship Providence Swedish, then a skull base fellowship with Dr. Aaron Cohen-Gadol, MD. We are proud of you!


For this week's #Neurosurgery case presentation, we have an interesting macrovascular conflict causing severe #TrigeminalNeuralgia. A sling transposition technique was used to decompress CN V. Maryland Neurosurgery View the entire video below youtu.be/kXLTY84H930

Far lateral approach to resect a foramen magnum #meningioma - care is taken to preserve all the nerves encountered during the resection Maryland Neurosurgery Nicholas Caffes ALHUSAIN NAGM, MD, MSc, PhD-Japan, FNE-Germany #neurosurgery #braintumor #tumor

Another interhemispheric approach, but this time for resection of an #AVM (arteriovenous malformation). Strategy for AVM resection is always to think of it as a cube and identify the 6 margins.
