Recent Advances in Endovascular Neurosurgery: Pushing the Envelope
Neurosurgery has historically been a field that embraced rapid technological advancements. Endovascular neurosurgery is no exception to this. As we move away from traditional routes of neurosurgical therapy, we will continue to push the envelope toward less-invasive and more-innovative treatments. Many of these treatments have shortened hospital stays and have resulted in less morbidity to our patients. (Source: Neurosurgery Clinics of North America)

Anesthetic Concerns of Children With Skeletal Dysplasia
Children with skeletal dysplasia present unique challenges for safe anesthetic care including differences in the anatomy of the respiratory system, possibility of cervical spine instability or spinal stenosis, and a unique body habitus. Even seemly routine anesthesia can result in respiratory arrest or spinal cord injury. These complications can largely be avoided by proper planning such as appropriate techniques for the intubation of difficult airways, recognition of cervical instability, neuromonitoring for any anesthesia over an hour in patients with severe spinal stenosis, and preoperative assessment of the trachea and...

Surgical Evaluation and Management of Spinal Pathology in Patients with Connective Tissue Disorders
Connective tissue disorders represent a varied spectrum of syndromes that have important implications for the spine deformity surgeon. Spine surgeons must be aware of these diverse and global manifestations of disease because they have significant impact on perioperative and postoperative outcomes.

Syndromic Hydrocephalus
Hydrocephalus, the abnormal accumulation and impaired circulation/clearance of cerebrospinal fluid, occurs as a common phenotypic feature of a diverse group of genetic syndromes. In this review, we outline the genetic mutations, pathogenesis, and accompanying symptoms underlying syndromic hydrocephalus in the context of: L1 syndrome, syndromic craniosynostoses, achondroplasia, NF 1/2, Down ’s syndrome, tuberous sclerosis, Walker–Warburg syndrome, primary ciliary dyskinesia, and osteogenesis imperfecta. Further, we discuss emerging genetic variants associated with syndromic hydrocephalus. (Source: Neurosurgery Clinics of North America)

Neurovascular Syndromes
Patients with cerebrovascular syndromes are at risk for additional concerns associated with their syndrome. A wide variety of syndromes are associated with cerebrovascular diseases. Multidisciplinary care is helpful to ensure comprehensive evaluation and management. Precise diagnosis and appreciation for the underlying syndrome is critical for effective cerebrovascular and broader care. This text focuses on these conditions with a focus on underlying pathophysiology and associated genetics, presentation, diagnosis, and management of each disease.

Syndromic Neurosurgery: Pulling It Together
In this issue of Neurosurgery Clinics of North America, we are excited to explore the growing field of syndromic neurosurgery. While neurosurgeons have long cared for patients with cranial and spinal syndromes, we increasingly see organization of the specialty within and across institutions. One of the primary challenges, both in clinical practice and in reviewing these topics, is the shear breadth of a field defined by such divergent syndromes. However, several unifying themes have emerged as this resource came together. (Source: Neurosurgery Clinics of North America)

Neurosurgical Evaluation and Management of Patients with Chromosomal Abnormalities
Patients with chromosomal abnormalities are at risk for numerous neurosurgical pathologies, given the broad impact and multisystem involvement of these disorders. Down syndrome (trisomy 21), Edwards syndrome (trisomy 18), Patau syndrome (trisomy 13), Klinefelter syndrome (47,XXY), and velocardiofacial or DiGeorge syndrome (22q11.2 deletion) are particularly associated with neurosurgical concerns. Given the heterogeneity of concerns and presentations, these patients benefit from multidisciplinary care provided by teams familiar with their specific syndrome.

Safety and Quality in Syndromic Neurosurgery
The developing field of syndromic neurosurgery has significant challenges and opportunities in quality and safety. Quality care must be safe, effective, patient-centered, timely, efficient, and equitable; the Donabedian model focused on system structures, processes, and outcomes is a helpful framework to guide improvement in these areas. Ultimately, a successful syndromic neurosurgery program will bring together an interested multidisciplinary team of experts who will grow care through open communication and steady improvement efforts.
