Overview

Youssef G. Comair is affiliated with Johns Hopkins University in the United States and has contributed to the field of medicine with a focus on neurological and genetic research. Their work spans multiple subfields including genetics, pathology and forensic medicine, neurology, molecular biology, and psychiatry and mental health.

Their research addresses several main topics, including:

  • Glioma Diagnosis and Treatment
  • Ophthalmology and Eye Disorders
  • Epilepsy Research and Treatment
  • Meningioma and Schwannoma Management
  • Traumatic Brain Injury and Neurovascular Disturbances
  • Cancer Genomics and Diagnostics
  • Epigenetics and DNA Methylation

Youssef G. Comair has authored papers published in journals such as Neurosurgery, Neurosurgical FOCUS, Radiology Case Reports, Neurochirurgie, and Journal of Surgical Case Reports. Recent publications include:

  • Awake Versus Asleep Craniotomy for Patients With Eloquent Glioma: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (2023, Neurosurgery)
  • The Role of Extent of Resection, Chemoradiation, and MGMT Promoter Methylation in Overall Survival in a Large Cohort of IDH-Wildtype Glioblastoma (2025, Neurosurgical FOCUS)
  • Severe Hyponatremia and Bilateral Sequential Facial Palsy: A Case Report (2023, Radiology Case Reports)
  • Bruns Nystagmus Occurring After Resection of a Giant Cerebellopontine Angle Acoustic Neuroma (2020, Neurochirurgie)
  • Orofacial Dyskinesia Post Resection of Pineal Gland Tumor (2020, Journal of Surgical Case Reports)

Their collaborative network includes frequent co-authors such as Jordina Rincón-Torroella, Melanie Alfonzo Horowitz, Mohamad Yazbeck, Risheng Xu, and Judy Huang. Collaborations with these researchers have resulted in multiple publications across different study topics.

Comair's main fields of study reflect a strong engagement with medical research, especially in disciplines intersecting genetics, molecular biology, pathology, neurology, and mental health. Their research output also demonstrates a focus on clinical cases and neurological surgical interventions.
