1 Warner, Judith E. A.Intermittent reversal of Complete Ptosis-EganWarnerCASE REPORT: Ptosis secondary to dense oculomotor pareses generally improves over several months, but intermittent elevation of the eyelid has not been reported. The Author's describe two patients who demonstrated intermittent involuntary monocular eyelid elevation in an eye with complete ptosis cau...Eyelids; Ophthalmoplegia; Intraoperative Complications2006
2 Digre, Kathleen B.Selective MR imaging approach for evaluation of patients with Horner's syndrome.PURPOSE: To assess the usefulness of MR in the evaluation of patients with Horner's syndrome. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We prospectively performed MR imaging in 33 patients with Horner's syndrome (13 preganglionic and 20 postganglionic) using a protocol specifically designed for pre- and postganglionic ...Horner Syndrome; Magnetic Resonance Imaging; Epidemiology1992-01
3 Couldwell, William T.Fenestration of the oculomotor nerve by a duplicated posterior cerebral artery and aneurysmThe authors report a case of a posterior cerebral artery aneurysm arising from an aberrant arterial branch that was found to be splitting the oculomotor nerve. This 63-year-old man presented with headaches, and CT imaging revealed subarachnoid hemorrhage primarily within the basilar cisterns. Formal...2009-01-01
4 Schmidt, Meic H.Minimally invasive thoracoscopic resection of paraspinal neurogenic tumors: technical case reportOBJECTIVE: The posterior mediastinum is a common location for benign neurogenic tumors. They are frequently asymptomatic but can present with local compressive or neurological symptoms. METHODS: Thoracoscopy is used increasingly over posterolateral thoracotomy for the removal of these lesions. RES...2008-01-01
5 Digre, Kathleen B.Novel mechanism for benign essential blepharospasm.PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that the photophobia of benign essential blepharospasm (BEB) is caused by sympathetically maintained pain. METHODS: Nineteen patients with photophobia and BEB were enrolled in an unblinded prospective treatment trial. The intervention was ...Blepharospasm, Autonomic Nerve Block, Blepharospasm, Superior Cervical Ganglion, Lidocaine, Pain1999-11-15
6 Couldwell, William T.Sellar and parasellar metastatic tumorsThe sellar and parasellar (SPS) region is a complex area rich in vital neurovascular structures a first manifestation of a systemic malignancy. Metastases to this region are rare; breast cancer is the most common source among those that metastasize to the SPS region. Ophthalmoplegia, headache, retro...2012-01-01
7 Jaeckle, Kurt A.; Digre, Kathleen B.; Jones, Christopher R.; Bailey, Peter L.Central neurogenic hyperventilation: pharmacologic intervention with morphine sulfate and correlative analysis of respiratory, sleep, and ocular motor dysfunction.Central neurogenic hyperventilation (CNH), for which there is no effective therapy, can eventually result in respiratory fatigue and death. This report describes a patient with CNH due to a brainstem anaplastic astrocytoma who also exhibited disturbances of sleep and ocular motor function. The CNH r...Central Neurogenic H yperventilation; Ocular Motor Dysfunction1990-11
8 Digre, Kathleen B.Significance of CT and MR findings in sphenoid sinus disease.Disorders of the paranasal sinuses, particularly the sphenoid sinus, can be associated with significant disorders of the optic and other cranial nerves. We examined 100 consecutive routine CT scans, 100 posterior fossa CT scans, and 100 MR scans to look for evidence of sinus disease, especially of t...Sphenoid Sinus; Vision Disorders; Paranasal Sinus Diseases; Magnetic Resonance Imaging1989-05
9 Dailey, Andrew T.Paragangliomas of the sellar region: report of two casesTWO 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 tumor1993
10 Larson, Scott A.Strabismus surgery complications: prevention and managementStrabismus surgery is increasingly becoming a subspecialty domain, especially with cyclovertical muscles, restricted muscles, or reoperations. While is impossible to completely eliminate complications from strabimus surgery, it is possible to minimize their occurrence and significance by proper prev...Malignant hyperthermia; Overcorrection; Strabismus; Surgery; Undercorrection2003
11 Couldwell, William T.Photophobia in a blind patient: an alternate visual pathwayPhotophobia is a common neurological and ophthalmological symptom that has been associated with a growing number of neurosurgical conditions, especially compressive lesions. The exact signaling pathways and neurophysiological features of the disorder are not well understood; however, data from mult...2006-11
12 Digre, Kathleen B.; Couldwell, William T.; Amini, AminPhotophobia in a blind patient: An alternate visual pathway. Case report.Photophobia is a common neurological and ophthalmological symptom that has been associated with a growing number of neurosurgical conditions, especially compressive lesions. The exact signaling pathways and neurophysiological features of the disorder are not well understood; however, data from multi...Photophobia, Blindness, Signaling Pathway, Pretectal Nuclei, Trigeminal Pathway2006-12-14
13 Couldwell, William T.; Schmidt, Richard H.; Salzman, Karen L.; Chin, Steven S.Glioblastoma multiforme of the pineal regionGlioblastoma 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 metastases2006
14 Couldwell, William T.Metastatic melanoma to the pituitary glandMetastasis to the pituitary gland is unusual, and occurs most often in patients with carcinomas of the breast or lung. Despite its propensity for spread to the brain, metastatic melanoma has rarely been described within the sella. Methods: We report two cases of malignant melanoma pathologically co...2007
15 Couldwell, William T.Submandibular-infratemporal interpositional carotid artery bypass for cranial base tumors and giant aneurysmsCerebral revascularization is an important strategy in the surgical management of some complex cranial base tumors and unclippable aneurysms. A highflow bypass may be necessary in planned carotid occlusion or sacrifice. The cervical-to-supraclinoid internal carotid artery bypass or cervical carotid-...Internal carotid artery; Cranial base tumors; Giant aneurysms; Interpositional bypass; Surgical approach; Radial artery; Revascularization; Saphenous vein; Submandibular infratemporal bypass2006
16 Couldwell, William T.Man for all seasons: W.W. KeenWILLIAM WILLIAMS KEEN was the catalyst for the advent of neurosurgery in the United States. He served in the Civil War and collaborated with Silas Weir Mitchell in studying injuries sustained to the nervous system. These studies culminated in the publication in 1864 of Gunshot Wounds and Other Inj...Brain tumor2002
