How durable is your knowledge of dural lesions?
How’s your knowledge base of the skull base?
Know the difference between petroclival & petrous face? Middle fossa & middle sphenoid wing? Clinoid & clivus?
Here is a map of the names of skull base meningiomas. How many do you know?
Recognizing a lesion is only the first step. Communication is the next step.
If you can’t accurately communicate where a lesion is located, then you have only done have your job.
When it comes to skull base meningiomas, high risk lesions are the medial lesions:
Clinoid
Cavernous sinus
Tuberculum sellas
Medial/incisural tentorium
Clivus
I think of a cone coming up from the foramen magnum encompassing these lesions that I call the “cone of risk”!
Hopefully, this anatomy of skull base dural lesions with stay with you for the duration!

Before giving a talk on humanism in child neurology at @icnapedia ICNC with @AlcyTorresMD and others, I went to the National Taiwan Museum of Medical Humanities 1/7

Oh I forgot to mention that Holsman's equipment is as fine as any in Oregon and he gives you the genuine German remedy in the right way - which, as a professional, is definitely a sentence I can say with a straight face.

It's weird historical advertisement Thursday - and today I'm staying local with this ad from the Oregon Medical Institute (1912).
MEN! Don't be a Weakling, a Failure, and your life a miserable existence. If you have this desire to be strong and manly... 1/💉

Heading to Taiwan today for my first @icnapedia conference! Very excited to discuss publishing and humanities, and to meet international colleagues in pediatric neurology (and apparently the karaoke is out-of-this-world)
Happy to share our new book A deep dive into real world clinical scenarios and diagnostic imaging. A projection of our weekly Neuroradiology conference!

Rare diseases collectively have a huge collective impact! 1/3 of hospitalized children have a #raredisease. Many neurological disorders are rare diseases. #DrKChapman @ChildrensLA @UCLAMCH #GrandRounds @UCLAHealth @UCLAchancellor @AmerAcadPeds @ChildNeuroSoc
You are all invited to our oldest Boston Child Neurology Kuna Fall Conference 2025. Interesting cases, dilemmas and new treatments will be discussed.

Fantastic @ChildrensPhila Pediatric #GrandRounds with @brindaadhikari about trust and the medical profession. Good news is - most folks still trust THEIR physician. The medical establishment, not so much. We build trust by listening and caring - the work carries on!
