Couldwell, William T.; Gottfried, Oren N. | Too many? Too few. New study reveals current trends in U. S. neurosurgical workforce | Remarkable changes in the neurosurgical specialty have taken place in the past 15 years. While advances in basic science have occurred and new technologies and therapies have proliferated, other, less propitious factors-such as the promises (some might say false promises) and hopes of managed care-h... | 2003-01-01 | |

Couldwell, William T.; Harnsberger, H. Ric | Spontaneous regression of a cystic cavum septum pellucidum | A persistent cavum septum pellucidum (CSP) is present in ~0.73% of adults, although its incidence ranges from 0.14 to 18.9% depending on the detection method. Cystic CSP is even rarer. A cyst causing mass within the CSP can obstruct the intraventricular foramen, leading to blockage of CSF flow and p... | Cavum septum pellucidum; Cyst; Spontaneous regression; Decompression | 2006 |
