Jimenez A, Geist E, Connolly E, McKhann G, Youngerman B
J Neurosurg . 2024 Nov; :1-11. PMID: 39612492
Objective: Several case series have investigated the use of laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) to treat cavernous malformations (CMs), for either seizure control or reduction of neurological symptoms and future...

Spotnitz M, Ekanayake C, Ostropolets A, McKhann G, Choi H, Ottman R, et al.
JAMA Neurol . 2024 Apr; 81(5):499-506. PMID: 38557864
Importance: Interdisciplinary practice parameters recommend that patients with drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) undergo comprehensive neurodiagnostic evaluation, including presurgical assessment. Reporting from specialized centers suggests long delays to referral and underuse of...

J Neurosurg . 2022 Jul; 138(2):347-357. PMID: 35907186
Objective: Stereotactic radiosurgical capsulotomy (SRS-C) is an effective neurosurgical option for patients with treatment-resistant obsessive-compulsive disorder (TROCD). Unlike other procedures such as deep brain stimulation and radiofrequency ablation, the cost-effectiveness...
