Neurosurgeon Dr. Ronald Warnick led a group of 13 centers from the International Radiosurgery Research Foundation in a study of 871 patients undergoing #GammaKnife #radiosurgery for #trigeminalneuralgia, published online in the Journal of Neurosurgery. The research team posed the question: Is biologically effective dose (BED) superior to prescription dose in predicting pain relief and facial numbness in trigeminal neuralgia patients undergoing GKRS as a first procedure? Dr. Warnick and his colleagues found a more complex interplay of factors: *Treating the distal trigeminal nerve may be superior to proximal targeting.*BED was a better predictor when treating the distal trigeminal nerve.*Prescribed dose was a better predictor when treating the proximal trigeminal nerve.*Maximum brainstem dose correlated with the risk of bothersome facial numbness.The study provides a look-up table for integrating BED into treatment planning.View the Journal of Neurosurgery article here: https://lnkd.in/gyB3GHNy American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS) Congress of Neurological Surgeons (CNS) International Stereotactic Radiosurgery Society (ISRS) Elekta Brainlab Academy of Medicine of Cincinnati #facialpain

Alex had experienced the fatigue and headaches for several months. When he went to the emergency room, doctors discovered a large mass near the center of his brain, pressing against structures that govern functions like vision, balance and self-control. #Neurosurgeon Dr. Yair Gozal removed the mass endoscopically, through Alex’s nostrils, then repaired the damage in the surrounding regions. Thankfully, the mass turned out to be a fluid-filled cyst, meaning that it was not malignant. “All things considered,” Alex says now, “I feel great.” Read Alex’s story. https://bit.ly/Hope_Alex National Brain Tumor Society #MayfieldHopeStory #BrainTumorAwarenessMonth #BrainTumors #Neurosurgery

Brain tumors are an abnormal growth of cells inside the brain or skull. Some are malignant and some are benign, but all require careful evaluation and treatment to keep them from spreading and prevent disruption to other structures that govern your daily life. Nearly 90,000 people a year are diagnosed with a primary #braintumor, according to the American Brain Tumor Association. During #BrainTumorAwarenessMonth, review the basics in our Health Topics Library. https://lnkd.in/gEKXEfMk#neurosurgery

To recognize the 40th anniversary of The AANS/CNS Joint Section on Tumors, the American Association of Neurological Surgery and the Congress of Neurological Surgeons honored the section’s past chairs at the annual AANS meeting in Chicago this past weekend – including Mayfield neurosurgeon Dr. Ronald Warnick, who served in that capacity from 2005 to 2007. Dr. Warnick’s accomplishments included enhancing collaborations between #braintumor surgeons in academic and private practice settings, forging closer ties with other brain tumor professional organizations and offering research opportunities in the U.S. for international #neurosurgeons. His work to advance the practice of #neurosurgery continues Mayfield’s tradition of national leadership. Congratulations Dr. Warnick!https://bit.ly/Warnick_Bio
