Well done @CA_Fudge and Skull Base team for representing @LeedsHospitals @LTHTNEURO at #NASBS2026 in San Diego. 3 oral presentations, 2 posters and catch up with friends from around the globe. It was fantastic. linkedin.com/posts/asim-shei…
It was a privilege to present our results of expedited discharge at #NASBS26. Huge thanks to the support of my mentors. An inspirational conference and exciting to see advances in #skullbase technology and approaches. @ASheikhNeuro @SkullBaseLeeds @LTHTNEURO @LeedsHospitals
Fantastic exhibition showcasing the great work supported by @LDShospcharity. It has been a true honour and privilege to be a recipient of their generous funding. They make a real difference to patients. – at Leeds, England
We are so excited to launch ‘Our Research Story’ exhibition showcasing the people behind life-changing research taking place right here in Leeds!💜 More info: leedshospitalscharity.org.uk…

🚨 Groundbreaking in Leeds!
Surgeons at Leeds Teaching Hospitals made history, removing a skull base tumour through the eye socket using a minimally invasive technique.
Ruvimbo Kaviya, 40, is the UK’s first patient to benefit from this innovative surgery by Mr. Asim Sheikh & Mr. Jiten Parmar.

New approaches and technologies are only good if they benefit patients.
Endoscopic Transorbital excision of cavernous sinus meningioma.
Quick recovery, excellent access to tumour, complete excision with good operative views. Normal vision and eye movements post op. Images shared with permission and consent from patient. @SkullBaseLeeds @LTHTNEURO @AlbertoEqDS

It has been a privilege to attend #SNO2023. Meeting and listening to luminaries across the field was inspirational. Sad to leave lovely #Vancouver, but not without making new connections and new friends. @VassiliCrispi @SeanLawler20 @TannousLab @vwcheng @prof_short @RRead_Lab – at Vancouver, British Columbia

Honoured to present at #SNO2023 one of the projects from my neurosurgical academic foundation programme on the @LeedsHospitals 10-year experience of Gamma Knife for patients with cerebral metastases.
An exciting programme and beautiful location by @NeuroOnc
@LeedsNeuro – at Vancouver, British Columbia
Honoured to present our work at #SNO2023 in beautiful Vancouver. It's been a fantastic morning with brilliant science. Looking forward to learning more and networking over the next few days. @SCBT_Research @CritchleyGroup @LeedsNeuro @LDShospcharity @NeuroOnc – at Vancouver, British Columbia
Advances in brain cancer research are happening due to organisations such as @LDShospcharity who have been instrumental in supporting my work. Huge thanks to them, my other funders (@RCSnews) and my research team @SCBT_Research @LeedsNeuro @CritchleyGroup. Paper to follow soon!

Such an important study. Congratulations to all the authors for this practice changing study.
Late breaking at #ASCO23: Mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 or 2 are common in low-grade glioma. The IDH inhibitor vorasidenib improved progression-free survival as compared with placebo. Full results of the INDIGO trial: nej.md/3N8N5dU
Pleased my Japanese #BlackPine seedlings survived the winter. Hopefully can begin some styling in a few years! #Bonsai
Excited to have presented our work on #Glioblastoma at the #Organoids #LabOnAChip 2023 Meeting, held by @PhysicsNews. Was a great experience speaking to the #physics community - collaborative #MDT #science is the future! @SCBT_Research @LeedsNeuro @CritchleyGroup @LDShospcharity
