Background: Knowledge of the anatomical course of the optic radiations and its relationship to medial temporal lobe structures is of great relevance in preoperative planning for surgery involving the temporal lobe to prevent damage that may result in postsurgical visual field deficits.
Methods: In this anatomical study, we reviewed the literature on this topic and applied the information to practical anatomical dissection. The three-dimensional relationship between the course of the optic radiations and structures accessed in the main microneurosurgical approaches to the medial temporal lobe was examined by applying Klingler's white matter fiber dissection technique to five formalin-fixed human brains.

Neurosurgical training is being challenged by rigorous work-hour restrictions and the COVID-19 pandemic.1 Now, more than ever, surgical simulation plays a pivotal role in resident education and psychomotor skill development. Three-dimensional (3D) printing technologies enable the construction of inexpensive, patient-specific, anatomically accurate physical models for a more convenient and realistic simulation of complex skull base approaches in a safe environment.

Gliomas are the most common intracranial tumors of the nervous system. These tumors are characterized by unlimited cell proliferation and excessive invasiveness. Despite the advances in diagnostic imaging, microneurosurgical techniques, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy, significant increases in the progression free survival of glioma patients have not been achieved.

Spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas (SDAVFs) are rare pathologies with a yearly incidence of 5-10 new cases/million, constituting 60-80 % of spinal arteriovenous malformations. Clinical symptoms include progressive paraparesis, paresthesias, bladder, and bowel disturbances. The pathophysiology of SDAVFs is not well elucidated.

Nearly 1.5 million people in the US live with a spinal cord injury (SCI). The cost to the healthcare system is estimated at over $10 billion annually likely because over 65% of SCIs occur at the cervical level.
