Couldwell, William T. | Comment on: Chronic brain inflammation and persistent herpes simplex virus 1 thymidine kinase expression in survivors of syngeneic glioma treated by adenovirus-mediated gene therapy: implications for clinical trials | The long-term consequences of adenovirus-mediated conditional cytotoxic gene therapy for gliomas remain uncharacterized. We report here detection of active brain inflammation 3 months after successful inhibition of syngeneic glioma growth. The inflammatory infiltrate consisted of activated macrophag... | Brain inflammation; Herpes simplex virus-1; Thymidine kinase; Syngeneic glioma; Adenovirus-mediated gene therapy | 1994 |

Couldwell, William T. | Cranioplasty with the Medpor porous polyethylene Flexblock implant | The authors describe the use of a porous polyethylene Flexblock implant for cosmetic cranioplasty. The implant may be used to cover any small- or medium-sized (< 8 cm) cranial defect, offering similar cosmetic results to standard alloplast cranioplasty while decreasing operation time. The porous i... | Cranioplasty; Medpor; Alloplast; Polyethylene; Skull defect | 1994 |

Kestle, John R. W. | Effect of single-application topical ophthalmic anesthesia in patients with trigeminal neuralgia: a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial | To evaluate the reported benefit of ipsilateral single-application ophthalmic anesthetic eyedrops in patients with typical trigeminal neuralgia, a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial was performed. Fortyseven patients were randomly assigned to receive two drops of either proparacaine (... | Randomized trial; Ophthalmic anesthesia | 1994 |

Couldwell, William T. | Hypericin: a potential antiglioma therapy | HYPERICIN, A POLYCYCLIC aromatic dione isolated from plants, is presently being clinically evaluated as an antiviral agent in the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. In addition, it is known to be a potent protein kinase C inhibitor. To evaluate its potential as an inhibitor o... | Hypericin; Protein kinase C; Glioma; Brain neoplasm | 1994 |

Couldwell, William T. | Management of pituitary adenomas | We present an overview of the management of pituitary adenomas, with discussions of microanatomy, of diagnostic studies of general neuroendocrine function, and of radiologic evaluation. We discuss the diagnosis of pituitary adenoma and its treatment with sections on null cell, prolactin (PRL)-secre... | Pituitary adenoma; Transsphenoidal surgery; Corticotropin; Prolactin; Growth hormone; Transcranial surgery | 1994 |

Couldwell, William T. | Multifocal inflammatory leukoencephalopathy associated with levamisole and 5-fluorouracil: case report | LEVAMISOLE AND 5-FLUOROURACIL have now become the standard chemotherapeutic regimen for patients with Stage 111 colon carcinoma. A case of multifocal inflammatory leukoencephalopathy secondary to levamisole alone or combination of levamisole and 5-fluorouracil is reported. Magnetic resonance imaging... | Autopsy; Levamisole; Multifocal inflammatory leukoencephalopathy | 1994 |

Schmidt, Meic H. | Photodynamic therapy | We appreciate the comments of Drs. Kaye and Hill on our article. We are pleased that these investigators concurred with our impression that photodynamic therapy (PDT) may potentially be useful in the treatment of posterior fossa tumors. Several interesting questions were raised about the technical ... | Photodynamic therapy; Photofrin | 1994 |

Couldwell, William T. | Protein kinase C and growth regulation in malignant gliomas | To the Editor: The presence of amplified growth factor systems in many tumor models, including malignant gliomas, raises the question of how such external signals are transduced into a transformed phenotype (increased proliferation, invasion, lack of contact inhibition, angiogenic capacity, etc.). ... | Protein kinase C; Glioma; Brain neoplasm; protooncogenes; Apoptosis; Tamoxifen | 1994 |

Couldwell, William T. | Surgical approaches to petroclival meningiomas part I: upper and midclival approaches | Strictly considered, petroclival meningiomas represent only a percentage of the 10% of all intracranial meningiomas that reside in the posterior fossa. Although not statistically frequent, with their location in proximity to cranial nerves, the basilar artery and its perforating branches, and t... | Petroclival meningiomas; Petroclivus; Surgical approach; Upper clivus; Midclivus | 1994 |

Couldwell, William T. | Surgical approaches to petroclival meningiomas Part II: extended approaches | In Part I, the classification, clinical presentation, and upper and midclival surgical approaches were discussed. This lesson covers extended surgical approaches, results, complications, and adjuvant therapy. | Petroclival meningiomas; Petroclivus; Surgical approach; Staged surgery; Complications; Adjuvant therapy; Radiosurgery; Resections | 1994 |

Couldwell, William T. | Surgical implications of magnetic resonance-enhanced dura | THE PURPOSE OF this study was to assess tissue changes responsible for dural enhancement on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and its clinical implications. A prospective surgical, histopathological, and MRI study was performed in 7 3 patients with various types of disease, including meningiomas (n =... | Enhanced dura | 1994 |
