Hydrocephalus is a common and potentially devastating complication of aneurysmal
subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Its incidence is approximately 20% to 30%, and its onset …

OBJECTIVE: Although endovascular coiling has been used for 15 years in the treatment of
intracranial aneurysms, fewer than 60 published studies have directly compared …

Background Over the past 10 years, significant anatomic, technical, and instrumentation
advances have facilitated the exposure and resection of intradural lesions via a fully …

As endoscopic skull base resections have advanced, appropriate reconstruction has
become paramount. The reconstructive options for the skull base include both avascular and …

Objectives/Hypothesis: A prospective study of endoscopic expanded endonasal approaches
(EEA) with nasoseptal flap reconstructions revealed anecdotal evidence of less available …

BACKGROUND: One of the major challenges of cranial base surgery is reconstruction of the
dural defect and prevention of postoperative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) fistula. The …

Objectives/Hypothesis Endoscopic endonasal skull base surgery defects require effective
reconstruction. Although the nasoseptal flap (NSF) has become our institution's workhorse …

Abstract Objectives/Hypothesis: Pediatric skull base surgery is limited by several boney
sinonasal landmarks that must be overcome prior to tumor dissection. When approaching a …

Endoscopic endonasal approaches to the skull base provide minimally invasive corridors to
intracranial lesions; however, enthusiasm for this new approach is always tempered by the …

Discussion The medial-intraconal EEA was successfully performed on all six patients in our
cohort. Of these, total resection was achieved in four patients (67%) and a subtotal excision …
