Though not the biggest, carotid artery is arguably the most critical pipeline b/c it supplies brain. Once upon a time, bypasses from carotid in the neck to MCA in brain were the answer for giant cavernous aneurysms; I performed >100. While flow diverters turned this bypass into a rare oddity, we maintain the know-how to reconstruct carotids when needed…

Colors of the sky are most striking at sunrise & sunset; so too for spinal cord tumors at the operation’s beginning & end. What’s more brilliant than the orange of untouched hemangioblastoma? And bleeding during debulking darkens ependymoma’s pale gray to differentiate it from off-white cord, helping to see the separation plane…

As we shared yesterday, a brain tumor is a growth of abnormal cells in or around the brain. But how can a brain tumor affect the body? The signs and symptoms of a brain tumor can depend on the brain tumor's size and location, and how fast it's growing, also referred to as the tumor grade. Symptoms can look different from person to person, as no two tumors are alike. Understanding the signs can help you know when it might be time to talk to your healthcare provider.

It’s surprising how misleading spinal MRI can be at predicting surface presentation of spinal cord cavernomas, which is why I always visually inspect all surfaces. It’s always a relief when I find a spot where it comes to the pia & be accessed w/out traversing normal cord tissue...
