Basal ganglia (caudate, putamen, and globus pallidus) cavernoma surgical approach overview from sketch concept, exploring various anatomical sections and compositions, to rendering the anatomy, craniotomies, approach trajectories & targets #MedEd Oren Gottfried, MD Slava Bobrov
Happy to contribute to a large multicenter effort out now in a 2-part publication Stroke AHA/ASA where we define advanced quantitative imaging biomarkers of iron deposition and vascular permeability in symptomatic cavernoma patients. New feasible endpoints for future trials!
Halfway through the week and have clipped 3 aneurysms, resected 3 tumors in addition to a contralateral interhemispheric transfalcine approach for ventricular cavernoma. Elegant approach with minimal brain transection. Great things happening at Penn Neurosurgery Jan-Karl Burkhardt, MD Visish M. Srinivasan, MD
Excited to see this published: overview of surgical approaches to basal ganglia cavernoma subtypes. Article available online: doi.org/10.3171/2023.7…

#MorcosChallenge 36F w/ pontomesencephalic cavernoma, bledx2, upgaze/medial/lateral gaze palsy, RUE&RLE 2/5. What are the different surgical options that could be considered &advantages/disadvantages?

🔊Valdig Group study ‼️
➡️Abdominal surgery & portal cavernoma:
❌high-risk of bleeding🩸
❌high-risk of portal hypertension complications
✅same risk of grade ≥3 postop. complication & death
⚠️when ascites
⚠️when non-wall, non-cholecystectomy surgery

Thank you Philadelphia 76ers Penn Medicine for highlighting Dflans story Penn Neurosurgery Penn Stroke and Cerebrovascular Surgery and to raise awareness for brain vascular malformations #CCM #CavernousMalformation #cavernoma
#MorcosChallenge In this pt w/ a pontine cavernoma that goes below the level of the IAC, do you think this could be resected completely using a Kawase approach? Why/why not? Eva Wu Neurosurgical Atlas Medical Clinical Case BNTA @neurosurgeryof CV Section @neuroangioA @neurosurgery101
#MorcosChallenge This is a radiation induced cavernoma. Cavernomas have a mulberry appearance intraop &on histology, are abnormally dilated&hyalinized capillaries (caverns) w/o intervening brain tissue Eva Wu @UTHneuro Medical Clinical Case BNTA CV Section Cavernoma Alliance UK (CAUK) @nasbsorg
As today is cavernoma awareness day, we want to mention 2 important charities that raise awareness for this condition, support those living with cavernoma and their families, and fight for a cure for cavernoma: Cavernoma Alliance UK (CAUK) Cavernoma Society
