Dailey, Andrew T.; Moore, Kevin R. | Value of MR neurography for evaluating extraspinal neuropathic leg pain: a pictorial essay | Summary: Fifteen patients with neuropathic leg pain referable to the lumbosacral plexus or sciatic nerve underwent high-resolution MR neurography. Thirteen of the patients also underwent routine MR imaging of the lumbar segments of the spinal cord before undergoing MR neurography. Using phased-array... | MR neurography; Neuropathic leg pain; Extraspinal; Lumbosacral plexus | 2001 |

Couldwell, William T. | Medpor implant in cranioorbitomaxillary reconstruction: institutional experience and a review of the literature | Autologous materials remain the gold standard for complex skull base and craniofacial reconstruction, but they carry additional morbidity associated with the second harvest procedure and with prolonged operation time. These autologous materials also resorb in a way that is not predictable, rendering... | Medpor; Alloplastic material; Autogenous tissue; Craniofacial reconstruction; Skull base surgery; Methylmethacrylate; Silicone | 2008 |

Couldwell, William T.; Jensen, Randy L.; Jensen, Elizabeth M. | Development of contrast enhancement after long-term observation of a dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor | Dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumors (DNET) are usually benign lesions that arise in cortical regions and are discovered after new onset of seizure. These lesions have many different imaging characteristics. We report a patient with a presumed low-grade medial temporal lobe lesion that was follow... | Brain tumor; Dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumors; DNET; Imaging; Seizures | 2006 |

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 |

Dailey, Andrew T. | Paragangliomas of the sellar region: report of two cases | TWO CASES OF paraganglioma arising from the parasellar region are presented. Both occurred in middle-aged women who sought treatment of headaches but who had no endocrinological dysfunction; one case was associated with ophthalmoplegia from cavernous sinus involvement. Diagnosis in both cases was ... | Paragangliomas; Sellar region; Parasellar region; Chemodectoma; Pituitary tumor | 1993 |

Dailey, Andrew T.; Brodke, Darrel S. | Comparison of computerized tomography and direct visualization in thoracic pedicle screw placement | Object. To validate computerized tomography (CT) scanning as a tool to assess the accuracy of thoracic pedicle screw placement, the authors compared its accuracy with that of direct visualization in instrumented cadaveric spine specimens. Methods. A grading scale was devised to score the placement... | Computerized tomography; Direct visualization; Thoracic pedicle screw; Pedicle; Thoracic spine | 2002 |

Couldwell, William T. | Porous polyethylene implant for cranioplasty and skull base reconstruction | Object. Cranial reconstruction after skull base surgery is important for restoration of function and cosmesis. The authors describe their experience with the Medpor porous polyethylene implant for cosmetic cranioplasty and reconstruction after skull base surgery. Methods. Medpor, a biocompatible i... | | 2004 |

Schmidt, Meic H. | Embolization of sacral tumors | The management of sacral tumors is challenging because of difficulties in accessing the lesion, the high rate of local recurrence, extensive vascularity causing significant intraoperative blood loss, resistance to radiation therapy, and risk of malignant transformation. Although surgery is the main ... | Sacral tumor | 2003 |

Dailey, Andrew T.; Brodke, Darrel S. | Inter- and intraobserver reliability of computed tomography in assessment of thoracic pedicle screw placement | Study Design. Reliability study of computed tomography imaging in 12 cadaver specimens instrumented with titanium or stainless steel thoracic pedicle screws. Objective. To evaluate inter- and intraobserver reliability of computed tomography scan in determining the accuracy of thoracic pedicle sc... | Thoracic pedicle screw; Placement; Assessment; Computed tomography | 2003 |

Schmidt, Meic H. | Pigmented villonodular synovitis associated with pathological fracture of the odontoid and atlantoaxial instability | PPigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a proliferative disorder of the synovium with a predisposition for the appendicular skeleton. Rarely PVNS can arise from the spine, where this disorder usually presents with localized or radicular pain secondary to involvement of the posterior elements. Th... | Atlantoaxial instability; Pigmented villonodular synovitis; Odontoid | 2007 |

Dailey, Andrew T. | Sciatic nerve sarcoidosis: utility of magnetic resonance peripheral nerve imaging and treatment with radiation therapy | Sarcoidosis may involve both the central and peripheral nervous system, although peripheral nerve manifestations are usually seen late in the disease. In this report, the authors describe a case of sarcoidosis in a 22-year-old woman who presented with a foot drop. Although results of conventional lu... | Peripheral nerve imaging; Radiation therapy | 2004 |

Couldwell, William T.; Schmidt, Richard H.; Salzman, Karen L.; Chin, Steven S. | Glioblastoma multiforme of the pineal region | Glioblastoma multiforme (GBMs) tumors are exceedingly rare tumors in the pineal region. We present three cases in which patients presented with a pineal/posterior third ventricular region mass and review all the previously reported cases in the literature. Pineal region GBM seems to be a very aggre... | Glioblastoma multiforme; Hydrocephalus; Leptomeningeal dissemination; Malignant glioma; Perinaud's syndrome; Pineal region; Spinal metastases | 2006 |

Dailey, Andrew T. | Modulation of macrophage and microglial responses to axonal injury in the peripheral and central nervous systems | OBJECTIVE: After axonal injury, macrophages rapidly infiltrate and become activated in the mammalian peripheral nervous system (PNS) but not the central nervous system (CNS). We used the dorsal root pathway to study factors that modulate the response of macrophages to degenerating axons in both the ... | Axonal injury; Macrophage response; Microglial response; Peripheral nervous system; Lewis rats | 1999 |
