Impact of selective posterior rhizotomy on fine motor skills. Long-term results using a validated evaluative measureSandeep Mittal
Division of Neurosurgery, Montreal Children's Hospital, McGill University Health Centre, Montreal, P.Q, Canada
Pediatr Neurosurg 36:133-41. 2002..This study supports that significant improvements in upper extremity fine motor function using the PDMS evaluative measure are present after SPR and that these suprasegmental benefits are durable...
Long-term functional outcome after selective posterior rhizotomySandeep Mittal
Division of Neurosurgery, Montreal Children's Hospital, McGill University Health Centre, Quebec, Canada
J Neurosurg 97:315-25. 2002..The authors conclude that SPR in conjunction with intraoperative stimulation is valuable for permanently alleviating lower-limb spasticity while augmenting motor function...
Selective dorsal rhizotomies in the treatment of spasticity related to cerebral palsyJean Pierre Farmer
The Montreal Children s Hospital, McGill University Health Center, Room C 811, 2300 Tupper Street, Montreal, QC, H3H 1P3, Canada
Childs Nerv Syst 23:991-1002. 2007..In addition, shorter follow-up randomized controlled studies have compared the outcome of patients having undergone physiotherapy alone with those that received physiotherapy after selective dorsal rhizotomy...
Spinal deformities following selective dorsal rhizotomyJeff Dror Golan
Department of Neurosurgery, McGill University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
J Neurosurg 106:441-9. 2007..Selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) has been shown to provide considerable benefit to children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP). The authors sought to evaluate the risks of postoperative spinal deformities in patients following SDR...
Genome-wide profiling using single-nucleotide polymorphism arrays identifies novel chromosomal imbalances in pediatric glioblastomasHui Qi Qu
Montreal Children s Hospital, 2300 Tupper, Montreal, Que, Canada, H3H 1P3
Neuro Oncol 12:153-63. 2010..It further shows that, despite commonalities in a few CNAs, pGBM and aGBMs are two different diseases...
Reversible coma in children after improper baclofen pump insertionKeith J Anderson
Department of Pediatric Anaesthesia, Neurosurgery and Oncology Montreal Childrens Hospital, McGill University Healthcare Center, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Paediatr Anaesth 12:454-60. 2002..We suspect that improper technique resulted in an inadvertent administration of an intrathecal baclofen bolus. We suggest ways to minimize this risk...
Does ketamine affect intraoperative electrophysiological monitoring in children undergoing selective posterior rhizotomy?Chantal Frigon
Department of Anesthesia, The Montreal Children s Hospital, Montreal, Canada
Paediatr Anaesth 18:831-7. 2008..Specifically, we sought to determine if low dose ketamine given as part of the anesthesia was associated with changes in intraoperative electrophysiological monitoring in patients who underwent selective posterior rhizotomy...
Genetic aberrations leading to MAPK pathway activation mediate oncogene-induced senescence in sporadic pilocytic astrocytomasKarine Jacob
Department of Human Genetics, McGill University Health Center Research Institute, Montreal, Canada
Clin Cancer Res 17:4650-60. 2011..Somatic genetic abnormalities affecting this pathway occur in the majority of pilocytic astrocytomas (PA), the most prevalent brain neoplasm in children. We investigated whether OIS is induced in PA...
Neurofibromatosis type 1 and the pediatric neurosurgeon: a 20-year institutional reviewJean Pierre Farmer
Department of Neurosurgery, Montreal Children s Hospital, Montreal, Que, Canada
Pediatr Neurosurg 37:122-36. 2002..Nonenhancing optic pathway lesions could be followed up radiographically much less often since they do not show progression...
Functional performance following selective posterior rhizotomy: long-term results determined using a validated evaluative measureSandeep Mittal
Division of Neurosurgery, Montreal Children's Hospital, McGill University Health Centre, Quebec, Canada
J Neurosurg 97:510-8. 2002..The authors conclude that SPR performed using intraoperative stimulation is valuable in the augmentation of motor function and self-care skills essential to the performance of ADL...
Posterior quadrantic epilepsy surgery: technical variants, surgical anatomy, and case seriesRoy Thomas Daniel
Department of Neurosurgery, Christian Medical College, Vellore 632004, Tamil Nadu, India
Epilepsia 48:1429-37. 2007..We also describe the microsurgical technique of the different surgical variants used, along with their functional neuroanatomy...
