    Vascular - Aneurysm Regression Following AVM Treatment

    In this episode, we delve into the fascinating phenomenon of spontaneous aneurysm regression after arteriovenous malformation (AVM) management. This discussion is based on a systematic review published in Acta Neurochirurgica in 2026. The study design involved a comprehensive review of existing literature to analyze cases where aneurysms associated with AVMs resolved on their own after the AVM was treated. Key findings highlight the potential for natural resolution of these secondary aneurysms, offering valuable insights into post-treatment surveillance and management strategies for neurovascular patients.

    Functional - sEEG-Guided RNS for Neocortical Epilepsy: Efficacy and Safety

    In this episode, we delve into the findings of a multicenter retrospective study published in Epilepsia Open in 2026, examining the efficacy and safety of stereo-EEG (sEEG)-guided responsive neurostimulation (RNS) for neocortical epilepsy. The study reviewed data from patients treated with depth electrode-mediated neuromodulation, offering valuable insights into seizure reduction and adverse events associated with this advanced therapeutic approach. Listen in as we discuss the practical applications and clinical implications of these results for managing refractory epilepsy.

    Functional - sEEG-Guided RNS for Neocortical Epilepsy: Efficacy and Safety Analysis

    In this episode, we delve into the findings of a multicenter retrospective study published in Epilepsia Open in 2026, examining the full text of the research. The study investigates the efficacy and safety of stereo-EEG (sEEG)-guided responsive neurostimulation (RNS) in patients with neocortical epilepsy. Researchers analyzed data from a diverse patient population to assess seizure reduction and adverse events associated with this depth electrode-mediated neuromodulation technique. The key findings offer crucial insights for clinicians considering RNS as a treatment option for medically refractory epilepsy.

    Pediatrics - Fetal Surgery for Myelomeningocele: Outcomes in an Argentinian Tertiary Center

    In this episode, we delve into the outcomes of open fetal surgery for myelomeningocele (MMC) in a tertiary hospital setting. This abstract from Archivos argentinos de pediatria (2026) examines short- and medium-term results for 102 patients undergoing intrauterine MMC repair between 2015 and 2023. The study reports on obstetric and perinatal outcomes, hydrocephalus treatment needs, and ambulatory function at 30 months, comparing findings to the MOMS study. Key results indicate favorable maternal-fetal safety, a lower rate of ventriculoperitoneal shunting compared to benchmarks, and a high percentage of children achieving ambulation. These findings highlight the potential for effective fetal intervention in experienced centers. This podcast is for informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice.

    Tumor - TTFields for NSCLC Brain Metastases After SRS: METIS Study Insights

    In this episode, we delve into the final results of the Phase 3 METIS study, published in the International Journal of Radiation Oncology, Biology, Physics in 2026, based on an abstract. This study investigated the efficacy and safety of Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) when used in conjunction with stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for patients with non-small cell lung cancer brain metastases (NSCLC BM). The research aimed to extend time to intracranial progression while minimizing neurotoxicity, building on TTFields' known anti-cancer mechanisms. We discuss the study design, patient population, and critical findings that could influence future treatment paradigms for this challenging condition.

    Tumor - Predicting Hemorrhage Risk in Brain Biopsies with Voxel Analysis

    This episode delves into a novel approach for assessing hemorrhage risk in brain biopsies. We explore the study 'Voxel-based evaluation of hemorrhage risk in brain biopsies,' published in Neurosurgical Review in 2026, utilizing the full text as our source. The research employs voxel-based analysis to identify anatomical features predictive of bleeding complications during biopsy procedures in a neurosurgical setting. Key findings highlight specific voxel density patterns associated with increased hemorrhage risk, offering valuable insights for refining surgical techniques and improving patient safety. This discussion is intended for neurosurgeons, radiologists, and other medical professionals involved in brain biopsy procedures.

    Trauma - VTE Prophylaxis in TBI Post-Neurosurgery

    This episode delves into the complex clinical challenge of initiating venous thromboembolism prophylaxis in patients with traumatic brain injury who have undergone neurosurgical intervention. We examine the findings of a study published in the Journal of the American College of Surgeons in 2026, utilizing the full text of the article. The research explores the delicate balance between the risk of bleeding and the necessity of preventing clots in this vulnerable patient population, reviewing study design and patient cohorts. Understanding these critical nuances is essential for optimizing patient outcomes and guiding evidence-based treatment strategies in neurotrauma care.
