Central neurocytoma (CN), was first described in 1982 by Hassoun and colleagues.

Since selective amygdalohippocampectomy (SAH) was first reported by Wieser and Yasargil in 1982 1) , there has been a great deal of discussion about optimal surgical procedures, both from the standpoint of seizure outcome and from that of neuropsychological outcome.

Since its initial description by Harms and Rolinger in 1982, 2) transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) has been used with high rates of success in patients who present with instability or deformity 3).
