Take a look to our latest publication! The concept of supramarginal resection for skull base chordomas by @drjfm_stanford Article: https://t.co/6nsmVvIcHJ Video abstract: https://t.co/Rhs4EuC0Lq @ConstanzoMD @CKLeeMD

The pit sacrifice and transsellar approach improves accessibility to the retrochiasm/retrosellar space in complex craniopharyngiomas; can be used when preop pit fct is impaired, or the risk for postop panhyp is high. @drjfm_stanford @AsmaroMD @ConstanzoMD https://t.co/v6PxiIfOuG

Our small contribution to VS surgery 🖤

[Journal of Neurosurgery @TheJNS]

#OnlineFirst: Intracanalicular vestibular schwannomas: facial and hearing outcomes according to the location of the tumor in relation to the nerves of the internal auditory canal.

3.Finally, in cystic VS, perfusion values are significantly different in the solid and cystic parts. Based on previous research, we postulate that cystic degeneration may be a consequence of perfusion-permeability mismatch.

[F. Constanzo, MD @ConstanzoMD]

Took quite a while, but it’s finally published! In this pilot study we used perfusion MR (PWI) to characterise VS. Here are a few conclusions: https://t.co/SX0pr8LHuf

2.Both size and cystic status influence perfusion values (Ktrans and Ve), therefore, using PWI should not be used for DDx w/o accounting for these features, questioning previous results.

[F. Constanzo, MD @ConstanzoMD]

While these results may occur from several reasons, we believe that T1b VS may actually arise from the intermediate nerve, as previously described

It’s finally here!

While surgery for intracanalicular vestibular schwannoma is rarely indicated, it’s an amazing opportunity to see an almost pristine anatomy, allowing evaluation of some features impossible to see in larger tumours…

We found that T1b VS had a significantly worse hearing and facial outcomes, which would explain the variability of surgical outcomes in previous publications.

@AsmaroMD @NASBSorg It was great seeing you, too. Keep up with the good work. Until next time!

[F. Constanzo, MD @ConstanzoMD]

Amazing @NASBSorg meeting #NASBS2023 as usual. It just went by so fast. Until next year.

1/Is your ability to remember temporal lobe anatomy seem, well, temporary?

Here’s a #tweetorial to help you remember the structures of the temporal lobe!
