Pleased to summarize our publication (nature.com/articles/s4158… in nature) reporting human prefrontal single neuron responses to semantic features during language comprehension! (1/12)

Looking forward to meeting aspiring pediatric neurosurgeons for fellowship interviews Phoenix Children's BarrowNeurological. Our fellowship offers incredible faculty, high volume of diverse cases, great mentorship, and amazing weather ☀️ 🌵 🤠. Reach out with any questions! #neurosurgery

Young child with explosive daily seizures emanating from a right parietal lesion filling the inferior aspect of superior parietal lobule, wrapping around the temporal parietal operculum and abutting primary motor. Resected with motor strip mapping and ECOG. Likely dysplasia plus.

great workshop in progress by renowned #epilepsy expert & tireless advocate ⁦The Notorious EEG (M. Scott Perry MD)⁩ at the ⁦LGS Foundation⁩ conference! honored he is highlighting our #LGS meta-analysis in ⁦Epilepsia⁩ #epilepsysurgery #knowledgeispower ⁦Lurie Children's Pediatric Neurosurgery⁩

Wearing a helmet while riding ATVs is a MUST. Riding in uneven terrain at a high speed can result in serious injury. Open depressed skull fx with dural lac and brain egress. Required I&D/crani, frontal sinus exent, and EVD. We have an amazing plastics, ophthalmology, trauma team!

7M with MIE secondary to a right perinatal MCA infarct. Hemispherectomy in these kids are great surgeries -many times they have already functionally remapped with minimal deficits post op. Technically easier/faster, faster recovery, higher success scores. Let’s cure epilepsy!

Resecting the amygdala is the hardest to visualize when you are new to ATL, as it doesn’t have complete pial anatomical boundaries. Look for the MCA bifurcation superomedially, the third nerve inferiorly, and the inferior choroidal point posteriorly.

Myth: European healthcare outcomes are better than the US. America has high rates of death from car accidents and violent crime among younger people, dragging down average life expectancy. When one actually encounters the healthcare system, the US excels. We aren’t perfect,

While sEEG has rapidly become our “go to” option for localization, grids still have a role - particularly in mapping. This is a pt with a left frontal dysplasia radiographically abutting Broca. While you can map with sEEG, imho grids give you greater spatial coverage.

In loving memory of their son, Sachit, Sue Baichwal and her husband, Anand, seeded a fund to support pediatric #epilepsysurgery research. Thank you Anand and Sucheta for your gift to our community You can honor Sachit's legacy at bit.ly/SachitFund

Please join us this Friday at 7:00 AM MST/PDT for another insightful Mayo Clinic Neurosurgery and Neuroscience Virtual Grand Rounds on “mTOR Modulation of Cortical Excitability: From Bench to Bedside" with Dr. Jason Hauptman! mclive.zoom.us/webinar/regist… Mayo Clinic Mayo Clinic Neuro

Sincerest thanks to Bernard Bendok, MD and Mayo Clinic Neuro for inviting me! This is an incredibly innovative way to connect with trainees and practitioners around the world and I had a great time!

Congratulations to our board member Sandi Lam! A well-deserved honor for a tireless advocate for children who need neurosurgery. Kudos Dr. Lam!

5F with known TSC and right SEGA who failed affinitor and began to develop hydrocephalus. Underwent interhemispheric transcallosal resection. I try to pay close attention to the caudate and thalamostriate veins at risk on the underside as it’s dissected. #neurotwitter #neuro

Outstanding Prolo lecture delivered by Gerald Grant, MD, chair of Neurosurgery at Duke University. To the right is Don Prolo, MD. To the left is Marco Lee, MD, president of WNS. #WestNsurg2024 #NeuroTwitter

3M with right hemimegalencephaly and MIE, seizing multiple times daily. IMHO these are the most technically nuanced hemispherectomies, imperative to manage blood loss and complex anatomy that is many times atypical. Making sure you did all the disconnections requires patience.

7M s/p b/l DBS to CMN. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) for epilepsy in children has become an innovative and important way to treat medically refractory generalized and multifocal epilepsy in children, particularly those with Lennox-Gestaut (LGS). #neurotwitter #MedTwitter

Really appreciate the invitation from General Electric Neurosurgery - bkMedical to teach again at their master class for neurosurgeons. Privilege to be alongside my longtime friend and colleague Brian Nahed MD MSC FCNS FACS and new friend Timothy Chryssakos! Here I am hugging my dear ultrasound.

Come hang with us at the CNS!! Gonna be a great course. Pediatric Epilepsy Surgery Alliance ASPN American Society of Pediatric Neurosurgeons AANS/CNS Peds Section CNS AANS BarrowNeurological Barrow Neurological Institute @ Phoenix Children's Phoenix Children's
