Neurosurgery looses another of its Giants #Fukushima

So saddened to learn today that #neurosurgery lost (1 week ago) one of its pioneers in #skullbase & #cerebrovascular surgery, #TakanoriFukushima . He was the consummate innovative naturally skilled neurosurgical artist who exuded passion, perfected his craft & inspired legions😥
