Illustrations created by @kristenlarsonkeil and @petermlawrence for a recently published article on pontine cavernomas, written by Dr. Michael Lawton as part of his new 7 Cavernomas series. It depicts a supraolivary cavernous malformation. Patients with these lesions present with Millard-Gubler syndrome comprising ipsilateral abducens nerve palsy, ipsilateral facial nerve palsy, and contralateral hemiparesis/hemiplegia (Dr. Joshua Catapano, neurosurgery resident PGY-6 @barrowneuro , was brave enough to be Kristen’s model for this syndrome). The second image depicts the far lateral trans-pontomedullary sulcus approach to access this cavernoma. #medicaljournal #brainscience #medicalassistant #medstudentlife #neurosurgicalatlas #residents #medschool #generalsurgery #spinel #neurocirurgia #resident #learningmedicine #medicalassistantlife #peerreview #spinesurgery #indirect #spinehealth #posturecorrection #decompression #backpain #spinesurgery #surgicalintervention #journalcover #neurologist (at Barrow Neurological Institute)
