My author copies arrived! 📚

Writing a Medical Research Manuscript is a practical guide to turning a research idea into a clear, rigorous, publishable paper.

I hope it’s useful for students, physicians, researchers, and anyone trying to become a better scientific writer. ✍️

Applications for the 2026 Aesculap-EANS Research Prize are still open!

Outstanding research deserves recognition. Thanks to the generous support of B. Braun Aesculap, two annual prizes of €5,000 each will be awarded for exceptional neuroscience research, one for the best clinical research paper and one for the best laboratory research paper.

If you are an EANS Individual Member in good standing, this is your opportunity to showcase your work and be recognized among the neurosurgical research community.

The selected winners will be invited to present their research at EANS2026 in Hamburg, Germany, taking place 30 September – 4 October 2026.

📅 Submission deadline: 26 July 2026

Don’t miss the chance to submit your research and compete for this prestigious award.

1/Do you know all the aspects of, well, ASPECTS?

Many know the anterior circulation stroke scoring system—but posterior circulation (pc) ASPECTS is often left behind

25% of infarcts are posterior circulation

Do you know pc-ASPECTS?!

Here’s how to remember pc-ASPECTS!

[Neurosurgical Atlas @neurosurgatlas]

Glossopharyngeal neuralgia requires treatment that addresses the source of nerve irritation, not only the pain itself.

Microvascular decompression is designed to relieve compression of the nerve by creating separation between the glossopharyngeal nerve and the offending vessel. When appropriate, this approach can provide meaningful and durable pain relief by correcting the underlying neurovascular conflict.

Careful diagnosis and surgical judgment remain essential in determining the safest and most effective treatment path.

For more detailed insight, visit The Neurosurgical Atlas.

In this operative video, Dr. Cohen demonstrates the paramedian supracerebellar approach for resection of a large pineoblastoma.

Tumor is carefully dissected from the contralateral tectum, and although a mild Parinaud syndrome was noted postoperatively, it resolved within two weeks. The posterior third ventricle is then exposed and protected with cotton to prevent blood from entering the ventricular system as additional tumor is dissected from the posterior thalamus, mobilized posteriorly, and removed. Further debulking is carried out where the capsule remains adherent to the deep veins

In this operative video, Dr. Cohen demonstrates the midline suboccipital approach for resection of a fourth ventricular ependymoma.

After the tumor capsule is skeletonized, bipolar coagulation and an ultrasonic aspirator are used to debulk the lesion. Because the tumor appears to invade the floor of the fourth ventricle inferiorly, debulking proceeds until the superior pole is debulked and the fourth ventricle is identified. With the ventricular floor recognized along both the inferior and superior aspects of the tumor, the operative anatomy is clarified for safe resection.

Sometimes in this job, life hangs in the balance & you must act on intuition, w/out the usual studies confirming your diagnosis. Here, fistulous connections b/w meningeal arteries & a cortical vein produced hypertension, venous dilation, rupture. DAVFs can be treated endovascularly, but hemorrhage often requires emergency surgery to close the fistula, evacuate clot, save a life….
