How I do it: operative nuances of multiple burr hole surgery for moyamoya disease and syndrome.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Usual management of peripheral nerve tumors is to avoid biopsy in those that are likely benign; the risk of biopsy outweighs the benefit of definitive tissue diagnosis. Biopsy of presumed malignant lesions is performed widely. There is a subset of peripheral nerve tumors that are not easily categorized as be...
