Transoral Approach to Craniocervical Junction
Drs. James K. Liu and Ronald I. Apfelbaum (University of Utah) were kind enough to donate this video presentation of an odontoid resection via the transoral route. This is a great introduction to the transoral approach to the craniovertebral junction. This was made for the AANS and used here with permission.

Drilling below the chiasm
A subchiasmatic mass thought to be a soft tumor turns out to be lump of calcification compressing the optic chiasm. A high-speed pneumatic drill with a diamond bit is placed within the opticocarotid triangle via a modified orbitozygomatic approach to debulk the mass and decompress the chiasm. There is no audio for this presentation.

I'm a hotshot applicant from a prominent Ivy League medical school and I have interview offers from UCSF, Johns Hopkins, and the Barrow all on the same day. Which one should I go to?

Interviewing (3 of 5): How many interviews should I do?
In this third segment, we ask our victim: how many interviews does a neurosurgical applicant really need to do to successfully match? Here's her answer. (Wow, she really sounds like a guy. The FBI would be proud!)

This music is driving me batty.

Videos! We have a real video to watch in the multimedia section. It's just a silly thing I slapped together. There is no audio. See if it works!

CSS!! For anyone who really cares, UncleHarvey is now CSS-savvy! For the most part, cosmetics are now consistent throughout the site.
I'm going to be upgrading the "Cases" area in the next couple of weeks to make it a bit more interactive. Contact me if you have a case you want to add.
Best of luck in the match!
(PS: I'm glad I'm not you.)

Updates in progress… Site updates are in progress. A lot of it is bringing the site up to date with current web standards and hopefully streamlining and reducing load times. The bookstore is new. Support us by buying stuff from amazon by using our page. More new features are in store. You may see pages change in front of your eyes as we update the site or stuff might not even work. Do not be alarmed.

Still alive? Yes, we're actually still here, just too busy to do anything. I have some cases I'll throw up next week as well as some "new and exciting" (not) stuff. If I have time, that is.
