The theme was “Aspire, Inspire, Innovate” covering state of the art technology in different sub-specialties of neurosurgery. The scientific program was packed with innovative presentations on clinical and practical management topics critical to neurosurgery today. The included abstracts were selected and reviewed by a committee based on their scientific value and contribution to the field of neurosurgery.ONCOLOGY: From idea to clinical integration: a neurosurgical odysseyStereotactic robot-guided biopsies of brain lesions: experience with 4 casesSurgery for deeply located intracranial lesions under intraoperative MRI guidanceTMS: a non-invasive cortical mapping systemPilomyxoid astrocytomas: diagnosis, prognosis, and managementThe shift in the surgical management in craniopharyngiomaSPINE: Is there a light of hope: reconstruction of the severely injured spinal cord by using stem cells?Internal metal fiducials with intraoperative CT-navigation reduces radiation during cervical spine instrumentation with improved accuracyPediatric neck deformity: review of causes and managementSingle-stage combined posterior-anterior decompression and instrumented fusion for management of cervical pathologiesLeiomyoma of the neck and cervical spinePercutaneous fixation of thoracolumbar fractures: KFMC experienceSpinal cord tumor surgeries, transient paraplegia, and prevention with intra-operative neurophysiologyMorphometry of vertebra in the Saudi populationVASCULAR: Epidemiology of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage at a University Hospital in Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi ArabiaConcurrent solitaire FR use and carotid stenting in acute tandem carotid occlusion settingPediatric intracranial aneurysms: characteristics, presentation, management, and outcomeEarly abnormal transient hyperemic response test can help predict delayed ischemic neurogenic deficit in subarachnoid hemorrhageManagement of vein of galen malformation: The KFMC experiencePEDIATRICS: Minimal invasive craniosynostosis correction without the use of the helmet: Updates to the technique and avoiding complicationsIs shunt series x-ray necessary before revision of obstructed ventriculoperitoneal shunt?Predictors of postoperative infection after neurosurgical repair of open myelomeningoceleMultiloculated hydrocephalus in children: does neuroendoscopy make a difference?Duration of preoperative external ventricular drain in pediatric posterior fossa tumors – does it matter?The introduction of selective dorsal rhizotomy in Saudi ArabiaSelective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) in patients with spastic diplegia; state of the art neurosurgery with a neurophysiology perspectivePediatric skull base chordoma: report of 4 cases and review of the current literatureEndoscopic management of third ventricular arachnoid cyst mimicking aqueductal stenosisGENERAL AND TRAUMA: Management of idiopathic intracranial hypertension: A 19 year experienceMeasuring the immeasurable; lights on the Health Care Quality; Neurosurgery as an examplePrognostic quality of MRI in severe traumatic brain injury patientsIs ventricular drain sampling from the collecting chamber as accurate as the 3-way stopper?
