The implications of antithrombotic agents on subdural hematoma evacuation: what does "reversal" truly entail? Open
OBJECTIVE The optimal perioperative management of antithrombotic therapy (ATT) in patients requiring urgent neurosurgical intervention for subdural hematoma (SDH) is poorly understood. The delicate equilibrium of effective hemostasis while…

Systematic Review of WHO Grade 4 Astrocytoma in the Cerebellopontine Angle: The Impact of Anatomic Corridor on Treatment Options and Outcomes Open
Background Despite advances in multimodal oncologic therapies and molecular genetics, overall survival (OS) in patients with high-grade astrocytomas remains poor. We present an illustrative case and systematic review of rare, predominantly…

Operation "NeuroTeam": rendering the absolute best care for the most deserving patients under the most difficult conditions Open
The tenets of neurosurgery worldwide, whether in the civilian or military sector, espouse vigilance, the ability to adapt, extreme ownership, and, of course, an innate drive for developing a unique set of technical skills. At a time in his…

Prophylactic therapy with subcutaneous C1-inhibitor is associated with sustained symptom control in patients with hereditary angioedema Open
Background: Hereditary angioedema (HAE) due to C1-inhibitor (C1-INH) deficiency is a rare genetic disorder characterized by disabling episodes of edema that commonly affect the skin as well as the gastrointestinal tract and upper airway. P…

Effective treatment of refractory complex facial pain with motor cortex stimulation by spinal paddle electrodes using multimodal imaging Open
Background Complex facial pain is a debilitating condition with varying etiologies that overall responds poorly to both medical and traditional surgical management. Cortical stimulation is a unique therapeutic intervention which can be eff…

Esophageal Adenocarcinoma in an Active Duty Sailor: A Case Report Open
Esophageal adenocarcinoma develops when normal squamous epithelia are replaced by dysplastic intestinal columnar cells in response to chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). In addition to squamous cell carcinoma, the two malignanc…

Spontaneous or Traumatic Intratumoral Hemorrhage? A Rare Presentation of Parafalcine Meningioma Open
While hemorrhage is commonly encountered in various intracranial tumors, it is relatively rare in benign meningiomas. We present an interesting case report of a 75-year-old male who fell during intoxication, sustaining right frontal crania…
View article: Patterns of on-demand medication use in patients with hereditary angioedema treated long-term with prophylactic subcutaneous C1-inhibitor
Patterns of on-demand medication use in patients with hereditary angioedema treated long-term with prophylactic subcutaneous C1-inhibitor Open
Background: Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is characterized by recurrent, debilitating attacks of angioedema that may require immediate (on-demand) treatment. HAE prophylactic therapy may reduce the need for on-demand treatment by decreasing …
