1 Dailey, Andrew T.Resolution of an actinomycotic abscess with nonsurgical treatment: case reportA CASE OF actinomycotic brain abscess is presented. Conservative treatment by prolonged administration of antibiotics after needle biopsy showed complete resolution of the abscess. Previously reported cases suggest that definitive treatment requires excision or open surgical drainage of the abscess...Actinomycotic abscess; Brain abscess; Actinomyces israelii; Nonsurgical treatment1993
2 Bisson, Erica F.Cost effectiveness of subaxial fusion-lateral mass screws versus transarticular facet screwsAs health care reform continues to evolve, demonstrating the cost effectiveness of spinal fusion procedures will be of critical value. Posterior subaxial cervical fusion with lateral mass screw and rod instrumentation is a wellestablished fixation technique. Subaxial transarticular facet fixation is...2012-01-01
3 Dailey, Andrew T.; Brodke, Darrel S.Differences between neurosurgeons and orthopaedic surgeons in classifying cervical dislocation injuries and making assessment and treatment decisions: a multicenter reliability studyVariability exists in the management of cervical spinal injuries. The goal of this study was to assess the effect of training specialty (orthopedic surgery vs neurosurgery) on management of cervical dislocations.Cervical dislocation injuries; Classification; Orthopedic surgeons; Orthopaedic surgeons; Assessment decisions; Treatment decisions2008
4 Schmidt, Meic H.Pigmented villonodular synovitis associated with pathological fracture of the odontoid and atlantoaxial instabilityPPigmented 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; Odontoid2007
5 Dailey, Andrew T.Magnetic resonance neurography for cervical radiculopathy: a preliminary reportMAGNETIC RESONANCE NEUROGRAPHY was used to directly image cervical spinal nerves in patients with clinical and radiographic evidence of cervical radiculopathy. A magnetic resonance imaging phased-array coil system was used to obtain high-resolution coronal T1-weighted spin echo, coronal/axial T2-wei...1996
6 Dailey, Andrew T.; Brodke, Darrel S.Utility of helical computed tomography in differentiating unilateraland bilateral facet dislocationsObjective: Diagnosis of cervical facet dislocation is difficult when relying on plain radiographs alone. This study evaluates the interobserver reliability of helical computed tomography (CT) in the assessment of cervical translational injuries, correlates the radiographic diagnosis with intraoper...Facet dislocations; Helical computed tomography; Spinal trauma2009
7 Kestle, John R. W.Comparison between magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography for stereotactic coordinate determinationThe spatial accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has not been established for stereotactic surgery. Magnetic susceptibility artifacts may lead to anatomical distortion and inaccurate stereotactic MRI coordinates, especially when targets are in regions of the brain out of the center of the ma...Computed tomography; Stereotactic coordinates; Stereotactic surgery1992
8 Couldwell, William T.Efficacy of clip-wrapping in treatment of complex pediatric aneurysmsPurpose: Pediatric aneurysms (PAs) are distinct from their adult counterparts with respect to typical location, aneurysm type, and known predisposing risk factors. Many strategies have been employed to treat PAs, but, although it has been used frequently in adults, clip-wrapping in pediatric patient...2012-01-01
9 Schmidt, Meic H.Surgical technique and results of endoscopic anterior spinal canal decompressionObject. Decompression of the spinal canal in the management of thoracolumbar trauma is controversial, but many authors have advocated decompression in patients with severe canal compromise and neurological deficits. Anterior decompression, corpectomy, and fusion have been shown to be more reliable f...Anterior approach; Anterior decompression; Spinal trauma; Endoscopy2005
10 Schmidt, Meic H.Titanium cage-assisted polymethylmethacrylate reconstruction for cervical spinal metastasisReconstruction and stabilization of the cervical spine after vertebrectomy is an important goal in the surgical management of spinal metastasis. The authors describe their reconstruction technique using a titanium cage-Silastic tube construct injected with polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) augmented by...Titanium cage; Cervical spine; Cervical spinal metastasis; Reconstruction; Vertebrectomy; PMMA reconstruction; Silastic tube2005
11 Kestle, John R. W.Priorities for hydrocephalus research: report from a National Institutes of Health-sponsored workshopObject. Treatment for hydrocephalus has not advanced appreciably since the advent of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunts more than 50 years ago. Many questions remain that clinical and basic research could address, which in turn could improve therapeutic options. To clarify the main issues facing hydr...Biomedical research2007
12 Kestle, John R. W.; Brockmeyer, Douglas LeeOptic pathway gliomas: a reviewOptic pathway gliomas represent approximately 3-5% of childhood intracranial tumors. They usually occur in children during the first decade of life and are seen in 11-30% of patients with neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1). Although these tumors are typically low-grade gliomas, the clinical course and n...Optic pathway glioma; Hypothalamus glioma; Neurofibromatosis Type 12007
13 Kestle, John R. W.Predicting shunt failure on the basis of clinical symptoms and signs in childrenObject. In evaluating pediatric patients for shunt malfunction, predictive values for symptoms and signs are important in deciding which patients should undergo an imaging study, whereas determining clinical findings that correlate with a low probability of shunt failure could simplify management. ...Pediatric Shunt Design Trial; PSDT; Shunt failure; Shunt malfunction; Clinical signs2001
14 Couldwell, William T.No ordinary time, no ordinary men: the relationship between Harvey Cushing and Franklin D. Roosevelt, 1928-1939The authors elucidate the strong personal relationship that developed between Dr. Harvey Cushing and Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) from 1928 to 1939, as manifested in their frequent letters to each other. The relationship was initiated by the marriage of their children. Through his correspondence ...2001
