Can epilepsy surgery halt - or even reverse - cognitive decline in children? 🧠👶 To answer this, we studied long-term neuropsychological trajectories before and after epilepsy surgery. Honoured to have this published in @Brain1878 🔗 tinyurl.com/2s3wu9u6 🧵Main findings:

Great anatomic tips for T1 freehand pedicle screw technique @CAS_Spine published now @NeurosurgeryCNS: Midpoint of C7 Lateral Mass Serves as an Accurate Reference for T1 screws. I use a similar technique allowing T1 to easily line up with cervical screws. @CNS_Update @DKondziolkaCNS journals.lww.com/onsonline/a…

New mini-review from myself, @HusainShakil2 @AllanLeviMD, Drs. Frank Farhadi, Jeff Wilson, Carlo Santaguida. Happy to keep correcting old fallacies, and keep focused on who benefits most from surgery at the right time. Check it out—

Pedicle substraction osteotomy #PSO is a powerful technique in correcting rigid and severe TL spine deformity. Each osteotomy tool will do the job, but IMO, I found less time, blood loss, and complications with using an ultrasonic bone scalpel. (Disclosure: none)

1/🧵 Ever wonder why corticosteroids like dexamethasone treat cerebral edema related to brain tumors? I assumed the answer involved "anti-inflammatory effects", but there's much more going on. #medtwitter #tweetorial

جراحات العمود الفقري طفيف التداخل باستخدام الأنابيب الجراحية ليست لحالات الديسك وتضيق القناة العصبية فقط، بل يتعدى استخدامها إلى حالات اورام العمود الفقرة والحبل الشوكي. الفيديو يوضح استئصال ورم ليفي متلاصق في الأعصاب داخل الطبقة الجافية يتم استئصاله بتقنية التداخل المحدود بالأنبوب الجراحي. يتميز هذا النوع بالحفاظ على عضلات الظهر وتعافي وتشافي اسرع. تم خروج المريض ولله الحمد من المستشفى في اليوم التالي العملية🙏 @E1_QcH
