Spinal extradural arachnoid cyst surgery. Profound redundant arachnoid, mercifully small dural defect. Mysterious that some pts have orthostatic HA and others compressive myelopathy. Dilemma addressed by @MarkMamloukMD @Niklas_Luetzen recently PMID 40441881

Contemplated this case while traveling to inaugural @issclsociety mtg. Pt in 20s w numb/weak BLE with bend/twist. Never HA. Spinal extradural arachnoid cyst Analagous to a Type II CSF leak Straightforward OR... Resect extradural arachnoid, close small dorsal dural defect

Curious about experiences stenting IIH post-CVST? Despite diffuse stenosis and irregular walls, even crossing jugular bulb, I've had great results in pts w recalcitrant papilledema. Route92 half-cath w Tenzing delivery assist is transformational technology for sinus stenting.

Which of these aneurysms do you think ruptured? Based on imaging? Based on intra-op findings? I'm still not certain. I initially deferred the basilar, ultimately took hybrid approach to cure all @BAFOUND @cvsection @SNISinfo

IT cardene works best when started before any sign of ischemia in aneurysmal SAH @URNeurosurgery @URNeuroscience

🚨 New study in Clinical Neurology and Neurosurgery on aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) management 🩸 🧠 Anticipatory initiation of Intrathecal Nicardipine (ITN)—given before clinical or imaging evidence of delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI)—significantly reduces DCI parenchymal infarcts compared to controls (31.3% vs 55.2%). Key findings: 📉 Starting ITN prior to intra-arterial (IA) spasmolytics significantly lowers the need for serial IA treatments for recalcitrant vasospasm from 71.4% down to 23.1%. 🛡️ It is a safe intervention with no increased risk of EVD-related complications or meningitis. ⚠️ Timing is everything, because reactionary ITN given after DCI onset did not reduce the rate of additional infarcts or the need for serial IA treatments. Question: Does this article change your practice? #NeuroTwitter #NeuroCriticalCare #SubarachnoidHemorrhage #Vasospasm #NeuroSurgery sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

What is the inciting insult in #IIH? We’ve argued it’s glymphedema and interstitial fluid accumulation. Excited to see this come out in @HeadacheJournal @URNeuroscience @URNeurosurgery

thejns.org/view/journals/j-n… Thrilled to show our findings implicating the glymphatic system in futile recanalization after thrombectomy in LVO #stroke. Is the glymphatic system a potential therapeutic target? @mtbendermd
