To all you paediatric radiologists out there, In 2013 a questionnaire was distributed amongst the members of the ESPR, the focus of that questionnaire was to evaluate the status of #paediatric #postmortem imaging in Europe. Now more than 10 years later, it is time to update this study to see if advancements have been made in this field of interest within paediatric radiology. The outcome of this questionnaire will be compared to the 2013 questionnaire and the results will be submitted for publication in Pediatric Radiology. If you’re involved in postmortem imaging, we hope that you will fill out our questionnaire, this will take approximately 20 minutes of your time. The link to the questionnaire is: https://lnkd.in/e9qf9qDj We hope that many of you will take the time to respond to our questionnaire. Thanks in advance, Michelle Nagtegaal, Owen Arthurs, Prof. Susan Shelmerdine, Willemijn M. Klein, and Rick R. van Rijn #Paediatric #Radiology #Imaging

Here in Interventional Radiology at North Mississippi Medical Center, we perform many different neuro procedures, with one of the more complicated being the stent-assisted aneurysm coiling. Performed by Dr. Jason Stacy using Medtronic Neurovascular’s Pipeline Embolization Device, the procedure combines the benefits of flow diversion with additional embolization for more complex aneurysms. The Pipeline stent is deployed to redirect blood flow away from the aneurysm, promoting healing of the vessel wall. After the microcatheter is positioned across the aneurysm neck, the PED is deployed to cover the opening of the aneurysm. Penumbra Neuro Coils are then placed within the aneurysm sac via a second microcatheter to fill the aneurysm and provide immediate stability. This combination enhances aneurysm occlusion and thrombosis, reducing the risk of future rupture, particularly in large or irregularly shaped aneurysms. (A) Before endovascular procedure, the giant aneurysm was shown. (B) The aneurysm was firstly partially embolized with coils to promote thrombosis within the aneurysm sac and prevent possible aneurysm rupture before deployment of the Pipeline device. (C) After embolization, angiography revealed contrast filling inside the aneurysm sac. (D) In the venous phase, the contrast agent within the aneurysm was retained. (E) Follow-up angiography 4 months later showed complete occlusion of the aneurysm. https://lnkd.in/e5jDpifS

#epilepsysurgery #جراحات اضطرابات كهربيه المخ Messages in epilepsy surgery for medical colleagues ... interested in Epilepsy cases....... Message No. 12 : Periventricular nodular heterotopia (PVNH) is a malformation of cortical development marked by masses of neurons and glial cells near the periventricular germinal matrix. Epileptogenic zone should be studied well as it may be from the nodules or overlying cortex or both . In this 23 y old DRE patient Full pre surgical evaluation protocol revealed a Concordat case with defined epileptogenic zone which mostly includes the heterotopic nodules and a dysplastic overlying cortex Intraoperative: Tailored Resection of epileptogenic zone guided by Intraoperative Ultrasonography and Intraoperative electrocorticography ECoG using cortical grids for the overlying cortex with simultaneous depth electrodes introduced to the peri ventricular nodular heterotopia by U/S guidance Uneventful recovery without deficit + Engel class 1 Credit goes to our Multidisciplinary team from neurology/ neurophysiology/ neuro radiology/ nuclear medicine/ intraoperative neurophysiology/ Anaethesia/ and neurosurgery This collaboration Always Carries better outcomes Regards 🌷🌷
