Select intraventricular craniopharyngiomas can be effectively handled endonasally. @UB_Neurosurgery @EladLevyMD @NASBSorg @ubnsvascular

A rare opportunity to take out a smaller tumor. Here's a meningioma abutting the optic nerve showing significant growth. Radiosurgery may place higher risk to the optic nerve than an endonasal resection in this case. @UB_Neurosurgery @ubnsvascular #meningioma #skullbase

Interesting meningioma, like three-in-one, spanning the tuberculum to planum - each knuckle of tumor with a different consistency. @UB_Neurosurgery @ubnsvascular #buffaloskullbase #meningioma #skullbase #endoscopicendonasal

An endonasal option is great for these meningiomas, but when this low the CSF leak risk is too high - so a far lateral is safer. Also doesn't hurt having top notch endovascular colleagues available for preop embolization! @eladlevymd @ubnsvascular #ubns #meningioma

The endonasal trans-pterygoid approach helps provide the lateral access necessary to safely enter the cavernous sinus and skeletonize the carotid within 3 of the 4 compartments in this invasive case of acromegaly. #ubns #pituitaryadenoma #acromegaly @EladLevyMD

Good example of the pseudocapsular resection technique for macroadenoma. It can help both lower risk of intraoperative CSF leak and give confidence in a total resection! #ubns #buffaloskullbase #endoscopicendonasal #pituitarytumor

A great discussion on the pros and cons of expanded endonasal approach to tuberculum sella meningioma by Dr. Shallwani. #NASBS2025 @NASBSorg @Jacobs_Med_UB @UB_Neurosurgery @IsaacYangMD @UCLANsgy @UCLA_ENT @UCLAHealth @dgsomucla @HarborUCLA @HarborUCLASurg @HarborTrauma

Outstanding presentation by Hussain on our craniopharyngioma case!

Great talk by Dr Waqas on our approach to a giant trigeminal schwannoma at NASBS - well done!

Truly thankful to celebrate my naturalization with my amazing Buffalo family! Your daily support, both in and out of the hospital, means the world and more than I could ever ask for 🦬 🇺🇸 @LevyNsgy @EladLevyMD @_AdnanSiddiqui #KennethSnyder @HannaAlgattasMD

Interesting solutions to bad problems. Endonasal > Transoral approach in terms of reducing morbidity. #BuffaloSkullBase #NASBS @UB_Neurosurgery #Odontoidectomy #neurosurgery #neurosurgeon #endonasal #surgery
