During tumor resection, preserving veins and vessels minimizes swelling, reducing brain inflammation. This approach facilitates clearer identification of the tumor-brain interface, particularly in non-swollen areas. For educational purposes only. #Neurosurgery #MedicalEducation

What comes next in neurosurgery? @DKondziolkaCNS and the @NeurosurgeryCNS associate editors offer thoughtful perspectives in “Evolution,” a timely read ahead of the CNS Annual Meeting exploring that very theme. What do you think will be our field’s next major advance?

Long-awaited results of CREST-H are out. @MayoClinicNeuro Revascularization in Asymptomatic Carotid Artery Stenosis With Hemodynamic Impairment jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…
The optic canal, a delicate area, requires a second osteotomy. Drilling directly over the optic nerve allows for 270-degree decompression. Freeing the anterior clinoid process attachments and utilizing a wiggle movement enables its removal. #Neuroanatomy #SurgicalTechnique
Hyperostosis of the sphenoid wing involving the meningorbital band is addressed using a carbide bur for bulk bone removal, followed by a diamond drill for precise reduction and hemostasis. #Neurosurgery #SkullBaseSurgery #MedicalEducation

In a new Perspective, Pedro Sánchez (@sanchezcastejon), prime minister of Spain, and Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus (@DrTedros), director-general of the @WHO, reflect on the management of Andes hantavirus and the way in which careful, coordinated outbreak response can limit risk without undermining dignity. Read the full Perspective: nej.md/4hH61hM

ALT A quote from a Perspective published in the New England Journal of Medicine reads as follows: "Early diagnosis, isolation, clinical care, contact tracing, quarantine, close monitoring, and communication are more effective when people understand what is being asked of them and why." The Perspective is titled "Hantavirus — Lessons Learned about Security and Solidarity" and the authors are Pedro Sánchez and Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. The text is displayed on a simple white background with a blue border. The NEJM identity sits at the bottom.

When dissecting, preserving veins and vessels is key. This reduces swelling and makes the tumor-brain interface clearer, especially where swelling is minimal.

EEA for Chondrosarcoma drill the tuberculum sellae and planum sphenoidale, using diamond drills and irrigation. They proceed from optic nerve to optic nerve, locating the medial opticocarotid recess.

Friday was my last OR day @OSUWexMed @NeurosurgeryOSU *more emotional than I expected. I’m grateful for every patient who trusted us and for the colleagues who stood beside me through thousands of cases > 16y. I’ll carry this team and what we built together into my next chapter. – at Columbus, OH
