Our experience here shows that LITT for pediatric epilepsy is effective, even in the setting of previous open surgery history. Consider for symptomatic residual and recurrence. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Imagine 'CSF dialysis'. This is the concept of Liquorpheresis and we believe it can change the game of treating leptomeningeal disease (LMD) as well as other CSF related neurological conditions. Read more here! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Diagnosis and treatment of low grade gliomas of the pediatric spine continue to evolve with technologies. Stay up to date with our recently published review. Nir Shimony As always, more to come. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38904769/

Sharing our latest experience w robotic laser therapy for brain tumors in octogenarians in World Neurosurgery Journal. we show it’s feasible in this cohort, and so need to figure out the best way it can augment current treatment options.

In pediatric spine surgery, pain control is very important and continues to advance - we review how pain management for selective dorsal rhizotomy in pediatric patients continue to shift from single intrathecal opioids to multimodal non-opioid regimens. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39080014/

Congrats Christopher S. Graffeo, M.D., M.S. and Spencer for getting this primer for evidence based medicine in the cerebrovascular neurosurgery space. Hoping to continue to raise the bar which remains one of our key mantras. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39168862/

What an experience in La Paz 🇧🇴 - to see the fruition of months of work emerge as the Pre-Congress Pediatric Workshop followed by the participation in 50th anniversary annual meeting of Bolivian Neurosurgery Society. Working w Solidarity Bridge and UWisconsin was a pleasure.

This very interesting case of a novel LZTR1 variant in familial schwannomatosis - more to be learned and determined in peripheral nerve oncology! The intersting thought next is to compare pediatric samples as they age.

2-for-1 Black Friday special for our group on pediatric global neurosurgery both published today. One looks at pediatric epilepsy around the world and associations with food, and one looks at pediatric myelomeningocele around Latin America and associations with prenatal repair.

Presenting AANS/CNS Peds Section annual meeting in the concrete jungle of NY on 1) Bolivian pediatric medulloblastoma and 2) pro-inflammatory pathway in congenital hydrocephalus. The standard in this field continues rising.

Exciting to share rare pediatric syndromes like Wolcott-Rallison Syndrome (autosomal recessive disorder defined by early-onset non-autoimmune diabetes, skeletal dysplasia, and multi-organ dysfuction) and how we approached a complex cervical decompression in this setting.

Adding our latest update on clinical trials involving focused ultrasound (FUS) currently underway for brain tumors. The appetite is there, the prelim theory promising, and majority of results due soon! INSIGHTEC

Great read for those with academic interests about the publishing landscape and the emergence of open access….. “One of the delisted journals is the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (MDPI), which published about 17 000 articles last year.”

Sharing our efforts in understanding the rare situation of pediatric patients with brain tumors also presenting with metastasis at initial diagnosis. Molecular diagnosis again proving key to treatment.

Can patients with brain tumors safely go home the same day after LITT? Our pilot study shows it's safe & feasible in selected patients. 🔗:rdcu.be/elLyv
