Our recent study in @_jocn found similar rates of ruptured cerebral aneurysm treatment within 24h in British Columbia for rural and urban patients using a hub and spoke model of care.

In patients with supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage, minimally invasive surgery within 72 hours did not significantly reduce 30-day mortality or improve 180-day disability compared to medical management alone. https://t.co/rasJRzAqRq

Great read in @TheJNS about Dr. Takanori Fukushima. Fascinating career and an inspiration to all neurosurgeons.

#MolecularAlterations of grade 3 #meningiomas stratify clinical outcomes more so than histologic features alone - this was one of the key findings from a recent investigation published by ICOM members.

This article evaluates the overall survival (OS) and local recurrence (LR) in patients with grade 2 #meningiomas treated with adjuvant #radiotherapy compared to surgery alone at time of diagnosis.

There is hope for patients living with Parkinson’s disease.

Dr. Stefan Lang is undertaking research on treating non-motor symptoms of Parkinson’s, hoping to overcome the emotional and cognitive challenges faced by these patients.

Among patients with nonacute subdural hematoma, middle meningeal artery embolization led to a 90-day incidence of symptomatic recurrence or progression similar to that with usual care but with fewer serious adverse events. Full MAGIC-MT trial results: https://t.co/gBNdF8kmKo
