The course will address pathologies across the spectrum of neurosurgery including spinal and cranial disorders related to vascular diseases, central nervous system tumors, movement disorders and epilepsy. The program will focus on significant clinical challenges managed by neurosurgeons together with partners in neuro-imaging, neurology, oncology, otolaryngology, and radiation oncology. An evidence-based approach in the management of complex intrinsic and skull-based tumors, spinal pathology, cerebro-vascular diseases, epilepsy and movement disorders will be adopted.
By Attending, You Will Be Able To:
- Discuss indications and outcomes of microsurgical and endoscopic approaches to the skull base specifically to the anterior skull base, cavernous sinus and jugular foramen.
- Apply understanding of white mater fiber anatomy to the treatment of intrinsic brain tumors in eloquent areas and the limbic system.
- Identify the most recent advances in endovascular stroke therapies.
- Describe the latest knowledge on the natural history of arterio-venous malformations and the role of resection or embolization in the prevention of subarachnoid hemorrhage.
- Recognize new techniques for the treatment of spinal pathologies.
- Define current workup of patients with intractable seizures.
- Discuss current surgical techniques, including neuromodulation therapies, indicated for the treatment of medically refractor epilepsy.
- Describe current surgical treatment strategies indicated for the treatment of movement disorders.
