Kestle, John R. W.; Brockmeyer, Douglas Lee | Optic pathway gliomas: a review | Optic 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 1 | 2007 |

Schmidt, Meic H. | Is vertebral augmentation the right choice for cancer patients with painful vertebral compression fractures? | Cancer-related fractures of the spine are different from osteoporotic ones, not only in pathogenesis but also in natural history and treatment. Higher class evidence now supports offering balloon kyphoplasty to a patient with cancer, provided that the pain is significant in intensity, has a position... | | 2012-01-01 |

Couldwell, William T. | Surgical fidelity: comparing the microscope and the endoscope | Background: Both the microscope and the endoscope are widely used as visualization tools in neurosurgery; however, surgical dexterity when operating with endoscopic visual control may differ. The aim of this study was to compare the surgical fidelity when using each of these visualization tools. Met... | | 2013-01-01 |

Kestle, John R. W.; Brockmeyer, Douglas Lee | Cranial base strategies for resection of craniopharyngioma in children | The optimal treatment of craniopharyngioma in children remains a challenge. The use of complete excision to minimize recurrence continues to be controversial because of the risk of postoperative morbidity and death. Advances in skull base approaches, modern microsurgical techniques, neuroimaging, an... | Craniopharyngioma; Surgical approach; Skull base surgery | 2005 |

Couldwell, William T. | Irving S. Cooper (1922-1985): a pioneer in functional neurosurgery | Irving S. Cooper (1922-1985), the son of a salesman, worked his way through high school, college, and medical school to become one of the pioneers in functional neurosurgery. He developed several novel techniques for the surgical management of Parkinson's disease and other crippling movement disord... | Functional neurosurgery; Cryosurgery; Dystonia; Movement disorder; Parkinson's disease; Thalamotomy; Tremor; Neurosurgical history | 1998 |

Couldwell, William T.; Nelson, Don Harry | Nelson syndrome: historical perspectives and current concepts | The appearance of an adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-producing tumor after bilateral adrenalectomy for Cushing disease was first described by Nelson in 1958. The syndrome that now bears his name was characterized by hyperpigmentation, a sellar mass, and increased plasma ACTH levels. The treatment... | | 2007-01-01 |
