The #BrachialPlexus is a complex web of nerves which control the upper limb. All the information on controlling tone, complex movements, touch, pain and temperature regulation run back and forth through these nerves. All of these functions can be disrupted by injury.

Think you know brain vascular anatomy? How many brain vascular circles do you know? Everyone knows the Circle of Willis, but few know its venous counterpart: Venous Circle of Trolard, important in dural AVF Can you see the polygon on top of a❤️? #medtwitter #neurotwitter #meded

Nice depiction of the 3⃣ clival divisions & their #neurovascular relationship: 🙂 ✅ Upper = Sella turcica to Dorello’s canal. ✅ Mid = Inferior border of sphenoidal sella to level of the choana. ✅ Lower = Extends to the CCJ. #NeuroRad #RadRes #NeuroSurgery #SkullBase

External ventricular drains (EVDs) are one of the most common procedures in neurosurgery… And having to troubleshoot said EVDs that stop working (usually in the middle of the night) is ALSO common, though not always intuitive 📟🫠 How to troubleshoot an EVD - a thread 🧵 /1

Pituitary region anatomy. Picture I stumbled upon in and old presentation of mine for medical students. Basic, but liked it so thought I'd share. Love it when you can see the oculomotor nerves coursing through the cavernous sinus. #anatomy #radiology #pituitary #brain #USMLE

“Microneurosurgery” by the father of modern neurosurgery, Professor MG Yaşargil. Peter Roth, Yaşargil’s longtime illustrator, created these incredibly accurate neuroanatomical illustrations using traditional media such as graphite and color pencil. Oren Gottfried, MD Hugo Chrost

Early cerebral venous drainage at embryo 21 mm long, changed from primary head sinus to newly formed dorsal venous sinuses. Dural covering is incomplete at this stage and tentorium cerebelli is formed soon.

Journals can’t find peer reviewers. Preprints aren’t taken seriously. Garbage papers slip through peer review. Meantime, AI is slowly taking over. Nature describes the current situation. I highly recommend reading the article. 📍 The summary (+ my comments): 1. We are facing a
