Therapeutic radiation and the neurosurgeon.

Abstract:

:For nearly a century, neurosurgeons have been involved in the use of therapeutic radiation. Long before there was a separate discipline of radiology or radiation therapy, pioneers such as Cushing and Frasier explored the effects of X-rays and radium on patients with brain tumors and arteriovenous malformations. This interest was never completely abandoned and was again pursued with vigor with the emergence of image-guided sterotaxy for use in intracranial brachytherapy and radiosurgery. Neurosurgeons have been and will remain at the forefront of these and other emerging techniques.

  • The surgical management of spinal dural vascular malformations.

    abstract::Spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) are the most common spinal vascular malformation. The spinal dural AVF is a disease of adults, primarily men, that is a cause of subacute progressive lower extremity myelopathy. The challenge for the optimum management of these patients is in making an accurate, early diagnos...
