Background Knowledge regarding predictors of clinical and radiographic failures middle meningeal artery (MMA) embolization (MMAE) treatment for chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is limited. Purpose To identify MMAE failure CSDH. Materials Methods In this retrospective study, consecutive patients who underwent CSDH from February 2018 to April 2022 at 13 U.S. centers were included. Clinical was defined as reaccumulation and/or neurologic deterioration requiring rescue surgery. Radiographic a...
ABSTRACT The inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus (IFOF) is a large white matter tract of the human cerebrum with functional connectivity associated semantic language processing and goal-oriented behavior. However, little known regarding overall this tract. Recently, Human Connectome Project parcellated cortex into 180 distinct regions. In our other work, we have shown these various regions in relation to clinically applicable anatomy function. Utilizing Diffusion Spectrum Magnetic Resonance...
The choice of anesthesia type (general [GA] vs nongeneral [non-GA]) in middle meningeal artery embolization (MMAE) procedures for chronic subdural hematomas (cSDH) differs between institutions and left to care team discretion given lack standard guidelines. We compare the outcomes GA non-GA MMAE.
Abstract Introduction Interest in the function of inferior parietal lobule (IPL) has resulted increased understanding its involvement visuospatial and cognitive functioning, role semantic networks. A basic nuanced white‐matter anatomy this region may be useful improving outcomes when operating brain. We sought to derive surgical relationship between IPL underlying major bundles by characterizing macroscopic connectivity. Methods Data 10 healthy adult controls from Human Connectome Project...
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND As knowledge of the brain has increased, clinicians have learned that cerebrum is composed complex networks interact to execute key functions. While neurosurgeons can typically predict and preserve primary cortical function through visual motor cortices, preservation higher cognitive functions are less well localized in regions previously deemed “silent” proven more difficult. This suggests these silent anatomically redundant than our previous methods inquiry explain,...
ABSTRACT In this supplement, we build on work previously published under the Human Connectome Project. Specifically, seek to show a comprehensive anatomic atlas of human cerebrum demonstrating all 180 distinct regions comprising cerebral cortex. The location, functional connectivity, and structural connectivity these are outlined, where possible discussion is included significance areas. part 9, specifically address relevant occipital lobe visual system.
ABSTRACT The superior longitudinal fasciculus/arcuate white matter complex (SLF/AC) is the largest and most tract of human cerebrum with multiple inter-linked connections encompassing cognitive functions such as language, attention, memory, emotion, visuospatial function. However, little known regarding overall connectivity this complex. Recently, Human Connectome Project parcellated cortex into 180 distinct regions. Utilizing diffusion spectrum magnetic resonance imaging tractography...
Abstract Introduction The dorsal attention network (DAN) is an important mediator of goal‐directed attentional processing. Multiple cortical areas, such as the frontal eye fields, intraparietal sulcus, superior parietal lobule, and visual cortex, have been linked in this However, knowledge connectivity has devoid structural specificity. Methods Using attention‐related task‐based fMRI studies, anatomic likelihood estimation (ALE) DAN was generated. Regions interest corresponding to...
Middle meningeal artery embolization (MMAE) has emerged as a promising therapy for chronic subdural hematomas (cSDHs). The efficacy of standalone MMAE compared with concurrent surgery is largely unknown.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to describe a method resecting temporal gliomas through keyhole lobectomy and share the results using technique. METHODS authors performed retrospective review data obtained in all patients whom senior author resection between 2012 2015. their technique for dominant nondominant gliomas, both awake asleep craniotomy techniques. RESULTS Fifty-two were included study. Twenty-six (50%) had not received prior surgery. Seventeen (33%) diagnosed with WHO...
It is widely understood that cortical functions are mediated by complex, interdependent brain networks. These networks have been identified and studied using novel technologies such as functional magnetic resonance imaging under both resting-state task-based conditions. However, no one has attempted to describe these in terms of their parcellations.To our approach network modeling discuss its significance for the future neuronavigation surgery parcellation scheme detailed within this...

Specifically, show a comprehensive anatomic atlas of human cerebrum demonstrating all 180 distinct regions comprising cerebral cortex. The location, functional connectivity, and structural connectivity these are outlined, where possible discussion is included significance areas. part 6, specifically address relevant to temporal lobe.
By 2030, nonacute subdural hematomas (NASHs) will likely be the most common cranial neurosurgery pathology. Treatment with surgical evacuation may necessary, but recurrence rate after surgery is as high 30%. Minimally invasive middle meningeal artery embolization (MMAE) during perioperative period has been posited an adjunctive treatment to decrease potential for evacuation. We evaluated safety and efficacy of concurrent MMAE in a multi-institutional cohort.Data from 145 patients (median age...
Minimally invasive techniques are increasingly being used to access intra-axial brain lesions.To describe a method of resecting frontal gliomas through keyhole craniotomy and share the results with these techniques.We performed retrospective review data obtained on all patients undergoing resection by senior author between 2012 2015. We our technique for dominant nondominant utilizing both awake asleep techniques.After excluding 1 patient who received biopsy only, 48 were included in study....

Middle meningeal artery embolization (MMAE) is emerging as a safe and effective standalone intervention for non-acute subdural hematomas (NASHs); however, the risk of hematoma recurrence after MMAE in coagulopathic patients unclear. To characterize impact coagulopathy on treatment outcomes, we analyzed multi-institutional database who underwent NASH. We classified 537 between 2019 2023 by status. Coagulopathy was defined use anticoagulation/antiplatelet agents or pre-operative...

The history of psychosurgery is filled with tales researchers pushing the boundaries science and ethics. These stories often create a dark historical framework for some most important medical surgical advancements. Dr. Robert G. Heath, board-certified neurologist, psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, holds debated position within this notably remembered his research on schizophrenia. Heath was one first physicians to implant electrodes in deep cortical structures as psychosurgical intervention. He...
OBJECTIVE Sagittal synostosis is the most common form of isolated craniosynostosis. Although some centers have reported extensive experience with this condition, reports focused on a single center. In 2017, Synostosis Research Group (SynRG), multicenter collaborative network, was formed to study Here, authors report their early treating sagittal in network. The goals were describe practice patterns, identify variations, and generate hypotheses for future research. METHODS All patients...
