Bow hunter’s syndrome, Part 2. Rotational hemodynamic insufficiency can be caused by compression of V3 vertebral artery between occipital condyle and C1 lamina - an action that can also injure or dissect the artery causing ischemic attacks or stroke. And, it happens in kids (!),

From #SevenCavernomas: “The fine lines between complete resection and recurrence, safe and harmful resection, heeding and ignoring neuromonitoring, make this operation one of the most challenging in neurosurgery. It lacks the drama of intraoperative rupture or the elegance of

I introduced the “box concept” for conceptualizing AVM surgery in #SevenAVMs. Basal temporal AVMs exemplify it: ant. temporal feeders & sylvian drainers on front side; M4 MCA feeders on top & P2 PCA feeders on the medial side; basal temporal draining vein on bottom side; back

There are few things as intricate as bypass surgery: handling microinstruments, the hand movements, feeling infinitesimal forces & haptics, body mechanics, looping spirals of suture into a beautiful seam. Which makes it one of those most challenging & rewarding things to

Dural arteriovenous fistulas are abnl connections w/in dura between meningeal arteries & veins w/hi risk of hemorrhage (>15%/yr) when they drain retrograde into cortical veins (Borden 3). Mostly treated w/endovascular embolization, they are easily cured w/simple clipping of the

Is there a longer surgical approach than from the interhemispheric fissure, thru corpus callosum, thru choroidal fissure, to 3rd ventricular floor, into midbrain? I don’t think so. This route is an alternative to the transsylvian approach to interpeduncular midbrain cavernomas….

🎉 Tomorrow is International Skull Base Day! 🧠🌍 We will share special messages from our members on what skull base surgery means to them and their patients. 🗓️June 4 🚨Don’t miss it! Join the celebration and share how you're recognizing the day!

We will be live in a few hours. Send your case to our skull base tumor board. Global Neurosurgery WFNS osu.zoom.us/j/95109560803?…

Fenestrated clips create tubes or channels that reconstruct complex aneurysms, like this large, high-riding, twisted anterior communicating artery aneurysm. I used an anterograde fenestration tube construct for this one with tandem, intersecting angled-fen clips. #Clippology…

What’s the best way to repair a lateral sphenoid encephalocele? Endonasal transpterygoid or transorbital? I used to think it was the former but now I’ve changed my mind. AANS NASBS CNS World Neurosurgery Journal European Association of Neurosurgical Societies

Congratulations to my friend and mentor Danny Prevedello — on becoming one of the first foreign medical graduates in the country to achieve neurosurgical board certification! An inspiring journey and incredible achievement. Ohio State Neurosurgery Residency

Retaining the Doximity #1 ranking as the top Neurosurgery residency training program in America is a huge deal. BarrowNeurological, we strive to create a culture of technical excellence, innovative training, & close mentorship to attract talent, bring out the best in residents, &

I love descriptive neurosurgical jargon, esp. in French: “le coup de poignard rachidien” translates to “stab in the back,” which describes sudden radicular pain from spinal hemorrhage. This pt presented w/rupture of rare dissecting radicular artery aneurysm, 1 of only 6 spinal

Olive is the medulla’s most identifiable surface landmark, draped by hypoglossal rootlets in front & accessory-vagus rootlets in back. When expanded by a bleeding cavernoma, it’s esp. prominent. And far lateral craniotomy expose this pathology so perfectly thru vago-accessory

Perfect clip placement sometimes requires repositioning the clip, & other times pulling aneurysm tissue thru the blades of a relaxed clip with the sucker. This technique requires skillful use of suction and achieves the right contouring of the neck closure with the clip blades…
