Variants in Chromatin Remodeling Genes Are Involved in Patients With Chiari Malformation Type 1

Birth Defects Research, Volume 117, Issue 2, February 2025.
ABSTRACT Objectives Chiari malformation type 1 (CMI) is defined by the herniation of cerebellar tonsils of 5 mm or more, with possible neurological consequences, including compression of the neural tissue and/or anomalies in cerebral spinal fluid circulation. The etiology of CMI is not fully elucidated, with both genetic and environmental factors being

Real‐Time 2D Phase‐Contrast MRI to Assess Cardiac‐ and Respiratory‐Driven CSF Movement in Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus

Journal of Neuroimaging, Volume 35, Issue 1, January/February 2025.
ABSTRACT Background and Purpose In idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) patients, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow is typically evaluated with a cardiac‐gated two‐dimensional (2D) phase‐contrast (PC) MRI through the cerebral aqueduct. This approach is limited by the evaluation of a single location and does not account for respiration effects ...

Technical Considerations in the TCD Evaluation of Cerebral Circulatory Arrest in Death by Neurological Criteria

Journal of Neuroimaging, Volume 35, Issue 1, January/February 2025.
ABSTRACT Background and Purpose Ancillary testing is essential for diagnosing brain death/death by neurologic criteria (BD/DNC) when clinical determination (neurologic exam and apnea testing) cannot be fully or safely performed. Transcranial Doppler ultrasound (TCD) has been recommended as an ancillary test; however, the technical descriptions have ...

Morphometry of nasopalatine line for transnasal endoscopic access to craniovertebral junction: A cadaveric study

National Journal of Clinical Anatomy, 2020
Background and Aims: Lesions in craniovertebral junction (CVJ) are approached either through transnasal or transoral route. Endoscopic transnasal route reduces significant morbidity, and nasopalatine line (NPL) predicts the inferior-most limit of ...
