1108 Kestle, John R. W.Value of postoperative surveillance imaging in the management of children with some common brain tumorsThe rationale for obtaining surveillance computerized tomography (CT) scans or magnetic resonance (MR) images in pediatric patients with brain tumors is that early detection of recurrence may result in timely treatment and better outcome.

1110 Couldwell, William T.; Apfelbaum, Ronald I.Variations on the standard transsphenoidal approach to the sellar region, with emphasis on the extended approaches and parasellar approaches: surgical experience in 105 casesThe traditional boundaries of the transsphenoidal approach may be expanded to include the region from the cribriform plate of the anterior cranial base to the inferior clivus in the anteroposterior plane, and laterally to expose the cavernous cranial nerves and the optic canal. We review our combin...Transsphenoidal surgery; Chordoma; Craniopharyngioma; Intracranial neoplasm; Meningioma; Pituitary adenoma; Sella turcica; Transsphenoidal craniotomy2004
1111 Kestle, John R. W.Ventriculoperitoneal shunts in children: indications, equipment and techniquesThe decision to implant a ventriculoperitoneal shunt in a child with ventriculomegaly should not be taken lightly. Once a shunt has been implanted, it is very difficult to determine that it is no longer necessary, and therefore the initial decision is very important. Sometimes the need is obvious, s...2008
1112 Couldwell, William T.Ventroposterior medial pallidotomy in patients with advanced Parkinson's diseaseIN A PRELIMINARY study, the effects of ventroposterior medial pallidotomy were evaluated in five patients with advanced Parkinson's disease in whom medical therapy had failed. The mean age was 67.0 ? 5.6 years, and t h e mean Hoelin and Yahr stage when "off" was 3.9 ? 1.3. Three patients received u...Pallidotomy; Dyskinesia; Stereotaxy; Postoperative morbidity1995
