OverviewAI-generated summary
Hussam Abou-Al-Shaar's research focuses on the surgical and non-surgical management of neurological conditions, particularly those affecting the skull base and peripheral nervous system. His work includes investigating treatment outcomes for vestibular schwannomas, exploring the role of stereotactic radiosurgery in managing this condition in elderly patients, and comparing active surveillance with radiosurgery for specific tumor grades in older individuals. Abou-Al-Shaar also examines risk factors for metastasis in chordomas and the utility of percutaneous injections for refractory trigeminal neuralgia. His publications extend to systematic reviews and pooled analyses on topics such as meningiomas associated with synthetic progestins and the transformation of vestibular schwannomas into malignant peripheral sheath tumors. He has authored or co-authored 14 publications and holds an h-index of 1.
