You've managed to present neuroanatomy clinical cases in such an interesting way. Thank you

[oladeinde]

As a Cerebrovascular Physician Assistant, I have to say, this is one of the best videos converging this topic that I have come across.

[abdullahsamime]

Brilliant!
I really appreciate that a vascular neurologist cares about students and tries to help them in a very amazing way.

[drabigail_kl_kids_doc]

The best neuro anatomy lectures I’ve come across

[fbz]

This is the best lecture of stroke. Very well structured and simplified. My conception is now clear. Thanks a lot.

[santanawilian]

This vascular anatomy lesson is by far the most detailed and enjoyable one that I've watched so far!
I'm doing my neurology rotation now, and your lessons are helping a lot!
I appreciate what you are doing to us medical students, Dr. Rybinnik!
Greetings from Brazil.

[arekhandiabruno]

No dislikes! Says a lot about this excellent presentation! Thanks.

[getitdone]

stopped in the middle of the video to say thank you

[frogprincessss]

This is by far, the best and most helpful (not to mention practical) lecture I have seen that combines the principles of localization and vascular territory imaging.

[YaThatOneChick]

Just want to say thank you, so far the best video for learning I've come by

[sanjeevkook]

Thanks for such a clinically oriented stroke presentation.

[haleybeckman]

Wow do I love this video! I work as a surgical neurophysiologist and this is an extremely helpful video.

[lelik]

ваши лекции просто находка. Подписался, лайк, спасибо за труды.

[RashaAl-Khafaji-xiqk]

It was great, and thank you for combining the clinical and radiology findings. Fortunately, you made a video that can be repeated. Because there are so many details to be considered, especially when I am the one who is going to be the radiologist on the nightshift!

[Malferon]

Your videos are truly extraordinary. I am a 3rd year Child Neurology resident and have saved all of them and really appreciate your methodical, comprehensive, and thorough approach to breaking down key neuroradiological and neuroanatomical concepts. Great for study and review. I plan to share these with many of my colleagues. Please keep up the good work.

[ilirtanku]

Best video for cranial and neck vascular anatomy

[samuraisoul]

Thank you for the great talk with excellent imaging. I am not in the medical field. I am a stroke survivor (L MCA stroke) and have found such talks and imaging useful for me in my recovery and as motivation to keep up my re-stroke prevention therapy.

[ashe]

this video is super interesting, and as an MRI tech, gives me appreciation that I don't have to diagnose these things just image them because wow 😆

[sanjeevkukreti]

Informative clinically relevant video Great effort

[aliyoussef]

Very well illustrated and simplified, Thanks.
