1 Couldwell, William T.Thrombosed Basilar Apex Aneurysm presenting as a third ventricular mass and hydrocephalus: case report and review of the literatureAneurysms presenting as third ventricular masses are uncommon; most are giant aneurysms arising from the basilar apex. We present a case of a thrombosed basilar apex aneurysm presenting as a third ventricular mass and hydrocephalus in a 55-year-old man. The case is unique in the literature as the an...Basilar Apex Aneurysm; Ventricular Mass; Third Ventriculostomy2005-04

7 Couldwell, William T.; House, Paul A.; Salzman, Karen L.; Osborne, Anne G.; MacDonald, Joel D.; Jensen, Randy L.Surgical considerations regarding giant dilations of the perivascular spacesObject. Dilations of brain perivascular spaces (PVSs), also known as Virchow-Robin spaces, are routinely identified on magnetic resonance imaging studies of the brain and recognized as benign normal variants. Giant dilations occur only rarely and can be easily misdiagnosed as central nervous system ...2004

12 Miller, Jan D.Mineral processing fundamentalsThe reported claims in several Russian articles that magnetic fields change the viscosity and other basic properties of water and as a result produce beneficial effects such as increased flotation rate, improved grades and recovery, and increased settling rates appear to be unfounded. This conclusi...Minerals; Processing; Magnetic fields; Metallurgy; Water1971
13 Couldwell, William T.Definition of the role of contemporary surgical management in cisternal and parenchymatous cysticercosis cerebriWith increasing immigration from endemic regions, the incidence of neurocysticercosis in North America is rising. This retrospective study was undertaken to examine the role of surgery in those cases presenting with large cystic parenchymal and cisternal lesions in the current era of anthelminthic a...Brain cyst; Computed tomography; Neurocysticercosis; Magnetic resonance imaging; Praziquantel; Stereotaxis1991
14 Garber, SarahSpinal arteriovenous fistulas in children with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia: report of 2 casesHereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is an autosomal dominant angiodysplasia with high penetrance and variable expression. The manifestations of HHT are often age related, and spinal arteriovenous fistula (AVF) may be the initial presentation of HHT in young children. Because spinal AVFs are...2012-01-01
15 Schmidt, Meic H.Diagnosis and management of sacral Tarlov cystsPerineurial (Tarlov) cysts are meningeal dilations of the posterior spinal nerve root sheath that most often affect sacral roots and can cause a progressive painful radiculopathy. Tarlov cysts are most commonly diagnosed by lumbosacral magnetic resonance imaging and can often be demonstrated by com...Tarlov cysts; Meningeal dilations; Spinal lesion; Outcome2003

17 Kestle, John R. W.Assessing the validity of the endoscopic shunt insertion trial: did surgical experience affect the results?Object. Most surgical procedures are associated with a learning curve in which the success rate is lower early in the experience before mistakes have been identified and modifications made to the procedure. Negative results obtained early in a trial's learning curve may be a matter of timing rather ...Endoscopic shunt insertion; Ventriculoperitoneal shunt; Pediatric neurosurgery; Surgical experience2004-01-01
