Recently, Dr. Basit Khan performed the first-ever brain tumor resection using 5-ALA at OU Health. This advanced fluorescence guided technique helps surgeons see tumor tissue more clearly, leading to safer, more precise operations for patients.

This is a major step forward for brain tumor care in Oklahoma, and we’re incredibly proud of Dr. Khan and our entire neurosurgical team for bringing this innovation to our state.

Better tools. Better outcomes. Better care for Oklahomans.

Six‑month‑old Delilah was playing at home when a sudden fall changed everything. After her initial hospital visit, her mother, Laken, sensed something was still wrong. Back at home, Delilah refused to eat, cried uncontrollably and then suddenly vomited.

Laken rushed her back for help, where scans revealed a massive epidural hematoma — a life‑threatening pool of blood between her skull and brain.

An ambulance immediately transported Delilah to Oklahoma Children’s OU Health, the region’s only pediatric Level I Trauma Center. Pediatric neurosurgeon Dr. Nicholas Sader and a fully mobilized trauma team were ready before she even arrived. Their rapid, coordinated response moved her into surgery within minutes, giving her the critical chance she needed to survive.

For Delilah’s parents, the experience was overwhelming, but they found comfort in the expertise and compassion surrounding their daughter. Thanks to swift action and specialized pediatric trauma care, Delilah had the best support possible during the most frightening moment of her young life.

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) affects millions of people each year, and early care can make a critical difference.

A TBI occurs when an external force (such as a fall, accident, sports impact, or blast injury) disrupts normal brain function. Symptoms can range from headaches and dizziness to confusion, memory loss, nausea, and loss of consciousness.

⚠️ If you or a loved one experiences a head injury, seek medical attention immediately. Prompt evaluation and specialized care can help improve outcomes and support recovery.

At OU Neurosurgery, our team is dedicated to providing expert neurotrauma care when it matters most.

While it may sound alarming, pediatric hydrocephalus can be managed effectively with expert care.

Symptoms can vary by age and may include rapid head growth, vomiting, balance or coordination issues, vision changes, or behavioral changes. Early recognition and treatment are key to supporting healthy brain development.

Treatment often involves surgical options, such as shunt placement or endoscopic procedures, which help regulate fluid and relieve pressure.

At OU Pediatric Neurosurgery, our specialists provide personalized care for children with hydrocephalus and other neurological conditions. If you have concerns about your child’s development or symptoms, don’t wait — consult our team of experts.

Ten years ago, Mike Schuster was diagnosed with glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer with a prognosis of just 12–14 months.

After multiple surgeries failed, he turned to an investigational treatment developed through OU Neurosurgery research.

That decision changed everything. ✨

Mike is now celebrating a decade of survivorship, becoming one of the rare patients to beat the odds and inspiring hope for future GBM treatments.
