Just Published in Operative Neurosurgery: @NeurosurgeryCNS In this multicenter collab of 157 patients, we report the experience of performing Middle Meningeal Artery Embolization (MMAE) with concomitant surgical evacuation as a single session for the treatment of symptomatic…

Our first-ever issue of Continuum dedicated to disorders of CSF dynamics is online and shipping! Why did we decide to dedicate a full issue to these disorders? 1/ 🌊🌊🌊
Minimally invasive surgical evacuation (MISE) for intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) has long been debated. The ENRICH trial has provided strong evidence supporting its efficacy in lobar ICH, leading to improved outcomes. This editorial discusses the challenges and future directions…
Strong work by @santiagogpMD presenting our recent study @SNISinfo, showing combined #cSDH evacuation+ MMAE under one anesthesia session linked to shorter hospital stays and potentially better outcomes vs the traditional staged approach. Paper coming out soon in @NeurosurgeryCNS
Single-session treatment versus staged approaches for cSDH treatment? Dr. Stantiago Gomez-Paz shows shorter hospital stays and possibly better outcomes with single-session anesthesia combined MMA embolization and cSDH evacuation #snis2025 @SNISInfo @esmintsociety @cvsection…

Correct indication, reduced periop complication combined with Long-term follow up! EC-IC bypass reduce stroke risk. A well designed randomized controlled trial. @neuroangio1 @eytanraz @nyugrossman
Extracranial-intracranial bypass surgery combined with medical treatment may offer long-term benefits in reducing stroke risk compared to medical treatment alone. #ESOC2025 @ESOstroke ja.ma/438nR7x
In light of recent trials supporting #MMAE in cSDH as surgical evacuation adjunct, we report multicenter results showing that single-session MMAE+surgery appears safe, effective, and yields promising outcomes. Strong work put together by @santiagogpMD, now out in @NeurosurgeryCNS

I am deeply saddened by the news of Prof. Gazi Yaşargil’s passing, and so close to his 100th birthday and the @yasargil100 Symposium to honor him. I am presenting in Zürich in a few weeks and was greatly looking forward to meeting Dr. Yaşargil, and giving him this portrait. Truly…
What are some of the reasons we would we do a brain biopsy? • Diagnose tumors (grade + molecular profile) • Evaluate suspected CNS lymphoma • Investigate unclear lesions (autoimmune, infectious, inflammatory) #Neurosurgery #tbt #Robotics
A new multicenter study finds significant racial disparities in outcomes after MMAE for chronic subdural hematoma. Read more below. tinyurl.com/c4y4bm9p @EladLevyMD @_AdnanSiddiqui #neurosurgery #braininjury
We are recruiting a US-based postdoc for the Univ. of Utah (Salt Lake City) Cerebrovascular Research Group, PI Dr. Ramesh Grandhi. Projects: cerebrovascular, TBI & SCI. Prior neurosurgical research experience required. Email CV & statement to [email protected]…
Thank you to all who joined us for the annual #research retreat hosted by @rgrandhi ! Our research-focused department publishes many studies across subspecialties. These retreats connect researchers, giving them an opportunity to share projects, pool resources, and collaborate
Had a wonderful time at our research retreat with the team—great conversations, laughs, and even better science. Grateful for the time spent with such talented colleagues and the inspiring mentorship of @rgrandhi and Dr. Kestle. A wonderful experience all around! @santiagogpMD
New study on Chronic Subdural Hematomas is out! 👉🏽 journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/15… Published in Interventional Neuroradiology @INR_WFITN : examines whether outcomes after middle meningeal artery embolization (MMAE) for chronic subdural hematoma differ across racial groups. ▪…

A very nice talk on Grand Rounds yesterday on craniocervical biomechanics and latest trends in management by Dr. Brockmeyer 👌🏽#Neurosurgery The quote at the end 🎯: The work of good science is to try to peer beyond the "convenient" lines we draw over nature. - Lulu Miller

Is your ability to remember temporal lobe anatomy temporary? You can see it best on coronal images Centrally in the temporal lobe is the old allocortex (hippocampus, etc) that is preserved going back to rats Laterally is the neocortex involved in the newer higher functions…
Resolute Onyx Zotarolimus-eluting stents show promise in treating symptomatic ICAD—linked to fewer recurrent strokes vs. Wingspan stents over extended follow-up. Could drug-eluting design be the key? Check it out👇🏼 doi.org/10.1177/159101… #Stroke #ICAD @rgrandhi @INR_WFITN
