Scientific contributions by Dr. Lopez Serna

Treatment of Craniopharyngioma in Adults

The preliminary advances of this work were awarded at the meeting of the European Society of Neuroendocrinology in Munich. In this article, the doctor describes the largest series of craniopharyngiomas in adults in Latin America. (2009)

Osteoporotic vertebral fracture

The doctor presents a comparative analysis of the effectiveness of conservative modalities vs. percutaneous techniques.

Bilateral thalamic stroke

Dr. Describes a series of rare cases of stroke associated with an anatomical variant in a patient with a rare cardiac pathology. (Bilateral thalamic stroke due to occlusion of the artery of Percheron in a patient with patent foramen ovale: a case report) (BILATERAL THALAMIC INFARCTION: PRESENTATION OF TWO CASES)

Skull Reconstruction

In this article, Dr. López Serna proposed a novel skull reconstruction technique after surgery of bone-invasive tumors. (Autologous bone ridge cranioplasty in convexity meningiomas with hyperostotic activity)

Tumors in the pituitary gland

In this article, Dr. López Serna worked with expert neuroendocrinologists and radiologists. It describes a novel technique for the detection of pituitary gland tumors (A modified protocol using half-dose gadolinium in dynamic 3-Tesla magnetic resonance imaging for detection of ACTH -secreting pituitary tumors)

Tumors in the nervous system

In this article, the doctor together with expert endoscopists, describe a minimally invasive technique to operate brain tumors through tubular approaches. (Microsurgery of deep brain and intraventricular lesions with single endoscopic port ¨endoport¨, experience of the National Institute of Neurology and Neurosurgery)

Bilateral thalamic cerebrovascular infarction

Bilateral thalamic and thalamic-mesencephalic infarction is a rare entity. As it happened in our cases, the evolution could be very favourable, but in others it will depend on the extension of the ischemia. Due to the complexity and proximity of the pathways and nuclei involved in these locations, the manifestations and prognosis can be very varied.
