One of the key investigations carried out in neurology and neurosurgery is the lumbar puncture. This article by demonstrates the indications for the procedure and how it is performed! A very insightful article for patients & professionals

Some say open vascular neurosurgery is fully matured, stagnant. Middle communicating artery exemplifies why that’s not true. It demonstrates 4th generation bypass concept, novel end-to-end reimplantation of M2 trunks, innovation. We are the authors of our future - keep evolving!

Craniopharyngiomas can have suprasellar components with cystic expansion. Illustrated here is a retrochiasmatic craniopharyngioma, with endoscopic visualization of the tuberculum sellae and anterior wall of the sella outlined in blue.

Kocher’s point maximizes chances of safe placement of an external ventricular drain. A key step is to drill the burr hole and place the catheter perpendicular to the skull, with the catheter aimed toward the foramen of Monro.

For all my colleagues, the first print in my neuro series, “Clipped Aneurysm,” is now available in all sizes on Etsy https://t.co/Vtrf1BWeWs

How cool is this fenestrated clip?!Stay tuned for more soon!

The basic principles of the anterior interhemispheric transcallosal approach are illustrated. The reach of this approach is shaded in green (inset image). https://t.co/1zAOV1Crte

Many of the arteries supplying the insula originate from the M2 segment. Long M2 perforators can travel through tumors, but often supply the corona radiata and thus must be preserved during resection of insular lesions.

Cool suture retraction technique applied to EC-IC surgery. Similar to 's for trans-sulcal approach (I've used twice before with some <partial> success). Bypass: https://t.co/oB9oOabuFg

Temporal horn AVMs are technically challenging to tackle because the nidus is covering the feeding vessels emerging from the anterior choroidal artery within the choroidal fissure.

For ventricular body AVMs that extend lateral to the midline, a contralateral transcallosal route is favored to minimize ipsilateral hemispheric retraction.

During a transsylvian amygdalohippocampectomy, incising the temporal stem allows for access to the temporal horn and serves to create a corridor through which the amygdala and hippocampus can be removed.

Continuing on with our theme from last week of reconstruction: Abdominal or thigh fat can be buttressed with a bony septum or prosthesis to keep the fat in place and reconstruct the sella floor.
