Happy birthday to Dr Schievink, the father of CSF leak surgery! Many more happy & healthy years! (hey Wouter, notice I didn't say grandfather? oh wait...) @Neurosurgery_CS @CedarsSinai #neurosurgery #csfleak

look out for financial pressures in the world! and the rule of threes- there's someone else out there. this looks like a stronger association than Tylenol and autism, but it still does not prove causation #neurosurgery #braintumor @Neurosurgery_CS @CedarsSinai

The Cedars Intracranial Hypotension Conference has such wonderful presentations in the beautiful city of Amsterdam. It's an honor to present here on the treatment of skull base CSF leaks #csfleak @Neurosurgery_CS #neurosurgery @CedarsSinai

Well if you're going to take call for father's day weekend, Krispy Kreme is a good painkiller. I hope the dad's out there have a peaceful day @Neurosurgery_CS @CedarsSinai #Neurosurgery

I have few met people as strong as Isabella. It was my honor to help her, & I am so glad she is doing so well! @isabellastrahan @michaelstrahan @neurosurgery_cs @cedarssinai #braintumor #neurosurgery

Isabella Strahan. Her fight against cancer with the love and support from her family. The powerful all-new special - “Life Interrupted: Isabella Strahan’s Fight Against Cancer” - premieres Wednesday night, February 5th, at 10/9c on @ABCNetwork. And stream on @Hulu.

@WouterSchievink @spinalCSFleak When you're a Schievink, everything looks like a leak

Leaks are common. Saw this MRI in our reading room and assumed this was my patient cause of the saggy brain. Was my colleague’s cause of cerebellar AVM. She had a 5 year history of headache after an epidural during childbirth. Extensive CSF leak from L2-3. ⁦@spinalCSFleak⁩

@AmyCChou @MarbanLab @marcelmaya @benyaffe Heal well!

All patched up now! (My colleague told me to say: "You should see the other guy.") Thank you so much to my amazingly kind and generous friends and doctors: @MarbanLab, @marcelmaya, Dr. Charlton, Dr. Oswell, Dr. Pilkington, Dr. Wong, Lilit and @benyaffe for coming to the rescue. Stay safe out there!

When you're on call for a four day weekend and hope that an offering to the call gods will help. It could get explosive on a Fourth weekend... #Cedars #neurosurgery

So honored to be awarded a teaching award from our xlnt nsurg residents. It is my honor to be associated with the education of such fine minds. My 7 step plan for the award includes : 1 have or pretend to have a personality. Yeah that's about it... #neurosurgery #csneurosurgery

Playing giant chess w/ the twins. I'm the king, naturally

It's great that there were no concussions in the Rams vs Steelers game yesterday, but it's even better to see Ice Cube perform in person (1). Where's Waldo (2,3). At least the zombies didn't get me (4) #neurosurgery @Neurosurgery_CS @CedarsSinai

When you're on call on the weekend, have a subdural hematoma to evacuate, and bring donuts for the residents and staff. But really you're just calculating if I eat six of these, do the call gods erase some of the calories?

@DrDiGiorgio Welcome Anthony! It's a great meeting, & we're lucky to have great members like you

Had the privilege of presenting at my first Western Neurosurgical Society meeting this past weekend. It was a great meeting and wonderful organization. We spoke about things that truly matter to neurosurgeons. A great mix of academic, employed and private physicians. We spoke about issues vital for the continuation of our profession, such as the “betrayals of purpose,” that one speaker spoke of. Plus it’s a great family friendly meeting. The kids loved the night at the Monterey Bay Aquarium! A million thanks to @braindoc69 for convincing me to apply for membership.

Well this is hands down the nicest participation ribbon... Very fortunate to be invited to present on glioma resection at the Peyton Society meeting in Seoul w/ @umnneurosurgery at @HospitalSeoul @Neurosurgery_CS #neurosurgery

@JohnYuMD Strong work!

50s year old female with blurred vision, facial weakness and numbness and extremity weakness from brain stem compression for endoscopic transnasal transphenoidal removal of tumor. Adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma with stellate reticulum and microcystic changes.

Incredible! Cedars & it's people work very hard to provide excellent care. Thank you to all the people who make it happen

Happy Father's day! It may not always seem like it, but somewhere, way in there, they might almost sort of appreciate you sometimes

@AmyCChou You are a warrior & keep fighting! Your great attitude keeps you going

Can't believe it's been almost 14 years since I had brain surgery for one of the rarest and most aggressive brain cancers in existence. This photo is from 2009. Cancer survivorship is not easy, but I'm grateful to be alive and surrounded by love. (1/8)
