Strong Evidence: Antivirals decrease delayed facial nerve palsy after VS surgery. Strong work team!
Another great dissection course in the books. Always great to see the enthusiasm of residents and fellows for mastering skull base approaches and to catch up with transorbital colleagues and friends to discuss how to advance the field.

@PennNSG skull base surgeon @RachelBlueMD demonstrating her hard-earned expertise on a cadaver while teaching at the @CUAnschutz skull base dissection course. She is even more impressive in the operating room.

Great start to the morning.
High level cases presented by our residents: TONES approach for a sphenoid meningioma @RachelBlueMD, complex double deformity 💪🏽 @Ghenbot_MD, supraorbital approach for FCD, and this myxopap with dissemination 👇🏽 – at Philadelphia, PA
We started our morning off discussing the interesting cases that were recently done at each of our hospitals.
While @YTsehay was doing his rotation at Presby, he took part in a difficult case that lasted 12-hours.
