Can MRI find spinal #CSFleaks that standard imaging misses? A new study used 2-step MRI to identify dural defects in suspected #SIH 🧠 ⬆️leak localization may⬆️targeted treatment 🔗…adachejournal.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/5GY7H2NC… @zack4186 @cyrusraji @SherwinAzad @DrJonOh @vellimana #Neurology #Headache

Excited to share our latest publication in AJNR! Led by Alexandre Bani-Sadr, this study demonstrates that CT-guided intracystic fibrin glue injection for CSF-venous fistulas is both safe & effective. This is now our first line approach in most cases. 🔗 ajnr.org/content/early/…

One thing I’ve learned from caring for patients with #spinalCSFleaks is that many already track their symptoms, upright time, treatments, and medications in notebooks or spreadsheets. After seeing this repeatedly (and learning a lot from patients who have been doing this thoughtfully for years), I have built a simple app to help organize that information and generate a clear recovery timeline that can be shared with their doctors. My hope is that making this information easier to track and export may help facilitate better care, and eventually research. Hoping to release #Upright soon and will keep the community posted.

@PeterGKranz @francisdeng In my case I will be able to finish my training in neuroIR as a pgy 7 instead of pgy8 because of a similar track for acgme neuro IR fellows. An equivalent pathway for dx neuroradiology could enhance specialization and expertise within the field.

@PeterGKranz @francisdeng There is a clinical need for neuroradiologists with advanced sub-subspecialty training in neuroIR, interventional spine, advanced neuroimaging, h&n, etc. However, a superior solution is a two year track with the first "year" enfolded. Spoken as a pgy7.

The hot radiology job market, including in academic neuroradiology, contributes to the perception of opportunity costs that make a two-year fellowship program less attractive. On the NRMP's results of the last radiology fellowship match: radiologybusiness.com/topics/healthc…

Neuroradiology is so dumb like you see this T2 smudge in the nucleus of Crocodilus yea only GARDASIL polyleuconeurodystrophy does that yeah ok bro

@francisdeng And of course they post an image of a left sided stroke in their reporting of this missed right sided occlusion. Very helpful

A ‘never event’: wrong side cerebral angiogram Pt had R MCA occlusion. Thrombectomy planned. In angio, got a LICA injection, clot absent, assumed due to thrombolytics, procedure ended. Error discovered, pt returned to angio at delay for R thrombectomy. oxfordmail.co.uk/news/23257634.…

@rbarbosa91 Continuous call like that was probably a lot more manageable when there were no cell phone calls, no emr chat, lab results once daily, minimal radiology results also likely once daily etc.

Short historical🧵on why we have rules now: What happens when working hours are taken to their absolute extreme? Has this happened before? Yes it has...a brief look at surgical residency in Baltimore in the 1940's. To start: residents were 'on' every day for 50 weeks. (1/ )

it snew

Crest-2 results at #SVIN2025: carotid stenting shows superiority over CEA and medical management. Huge moment for the field. 🚀 @svinsociety @SVINJournal @MThrombectomy

@JenniferMc99218 @DrDiGiorgio Largest employer is not a flex. They are administratively burdened and many of those roles are unnecessary. Healthcare delivery should be lean, not a value extraction cartel.

My spirit animal isn’t taking any shit this year 😂
