Grateful to @garyandnicolay1 for supporting fellow patients through their diagnosis & raising funds & awareness. Rejuvunating our #teenage and #young #adult ward space is much closer thanks to him. #neurosurgery #brain #tumour @KingsCollegeNHS @KingsNeuro @PaedsNeurosurg
Gary had lifesaving neurosurgery at @KingsCollegeNHS back in 2020. Feeling forever indebted for the care he received, Gary jumped out of a plane from 5,000 feet to thank the incredible team who saved his life. Gary has raised over £2,000 for #TeamKings! What a hero💛

Our recent publication on modification of #ventricular #subgaleal #shunts with reduced infection rates. #hydrocephalus @HarrysHAT5 @SHINEUKCharity Ventriculosubgaleal shunts in the management of neonatal post-haemorrhagic hydrocephalus: technical note.

Our modified surgical approach seems to be effective in reducing the risk of infection, which we postulate is a direct result of reduction in the risk of leak from the surgical wound.

Are you right when it’s bright?? Bright cortical signal on diffusion images is classically associated w/hypoxic-ischemic injury. But there are many mimics! Do you know how to recognize the different patterns of cortical restricted diffusion? Here’s a figure & some pearls to

1/Hate it when one radiologist called the stenosis mild, the next one said moderate--but it was unchanged?! How do you grade it? Do you estimate? Measure? Guess??? Let this thread take the load off your back w/a lumbar grading system that’s easy, reproducible & evidence-based!
