- The first "international symposium
on skull base
meningiomas" was organized by Prof Rudolf
Fahlbusch in Bamberg-Germany
on June 21-22, 1992. This was not a surprise as Skull- Base Surgery
was gaining
ground in the 1980’s in the neurosurgical practice. More and more
centers were interested
in this subject and the number of operations performed was on the
rise. Prof Madjid
Samii organized the first international Skull Base congress in
Hannover on June
17-20, 1992. Only a day after this meeting Prof Fahlbusch organized
the first "international
symposium on skull base meningiomas" in Bamberg. The Scientific
faculty of
this meeting consisted of Prof R Fahlbush, Prof O Al-Mefty, Prof LN
Sekhar, and
Prof M Samii. A number of neurosurgeons participated in this
meeting. Quite naturally
the interest in meningiomas grew parallel with the Skull Base
Surgery as this and
other benign tumors made up the majority of surgical pathologies in
the skull base.
- The "first international workshop
on surgery of
the intracranial venous system" was
hosted by Prof A Hakuba on
September 12-14th, 1994, at the international House in
Osaka-Japan. This four
day workshop was organized by the Department of Neurosurgery, Osaka
City University
Medical School. This was one of the commemorative events for the
50th year of the
University. The president of the meeting was Prof Hakuba; the vice
presidents were
O Al-Mefty and M Sindou and the advisory board consisted of Prof K

distinguished Japanese
Professors. Special lectures were presented by Prof LI Malis
and Prof YP Huang.
92 lectures as well as 9 posters were presented by distinguished
academicians from
all over the world on subjects including anatomy, physiology,
embryology, neuroradiology,
cavernous sinus, compromise, thrombosis, obliteration, preservation,
venous angioma,
AVM and dural AVF.
- Prof Al-Mefty was the first to mold the two
subjects together and
the "second international congress on the Cerebral
Venous System and

21-25th, 1997 at
the Excelsior Hotel in Little Rock, Arkansas as a conjoint meeting
with the 1997,
