As we embark on this historical journey, it is important to remember that our understanding of the past, present, and future of the EANS is an ever-evolving process. Just as a snowball gathers momentum and size as it rolls downhill, so too will our historical repository grow over the years. We will continue to uncover new information from the past and integrate the contributions of present members, ensuring that our history remains a dynamic, living entity. This evolving narrative will not only preserve our legacy but also inspire future generations of neurosurgeons to shape their own chapters in our enduring story. Together, we embrace the journey of exploration and growth, celebrating the past while shaping the future of neurosurgery.
