Hydrocephalus associated with occipital encephalocele: surgical management and clinical outcome
Background Encephaloceles are cystic congenital malformations in which central nervous system (CNS) structures, in communication with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pathways, herniate through a defect in the cranium. Hydrocephalus occurs in 60–90% of patients

MR diffusion changes in the perimeter of the lateral ventricles demonstrate periventricular injury in post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus of prematurity [PDF]
OBJECTIVES: Injury to the preterm lateral ventricular perimeter (LVP), which contains the neural stem cells responsible for brain development, may contribute to the neurological sequelae of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) and post-hemorrhagic ...

Aquaporin-4 and brain edema. [PDF]
Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) is a water-channel protein expressed strongly in the brain, predominantly in astrocyte foot processes at the borders between the brain parenchyma and major fluid compartments, including cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and blood.

Congenital Intracranial Tumors: Prenatal Diagnosis by Fetal Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Fetal intracranial tumors are rare, comprising 0.5%–1.9% of all childhood tumors, with their true incidence potentially underestimated. This review highlights the role of fetal MRI, particularly with advanced sequences, in diagnosing common fetal brain tumors such as teratomas, astrocytomas, and choroid plexus papillomas, often presenting unique ...

Utilization of MRI in Fetal Surgery
The ex utero intrapartum treatment (EXIT) procedures, open fetal surgery, fetoscopic surgery, and percutaneous interventions are critical approaches in fetal medicine, particularly for managing complex congenital anomalies. Fetal MRI plays a pivotal role in pre‐procedural planning and real‐time monitoring, ensuring optimal outcomes by providing ...

Glycine decarboxylase deficiency causes neural tube defects and features of non-ketotic hyperglycinemia in mice. [PDF]
Glycine decarboxylase (GLDC) acts in the glycine cleavage system to decarboxylate glycine and transfer a one-carbon unit into folate one-carbon metabolism. GLDC mutations cause a rare recessive disease non-ketotic hyperglycinemia (NKH).

Klippel‐Trénaunay‐Weber Syndrome: Prenatal Diagnosis and Review of the Literature
This meta‐analysis demonstrates the high diagnostic accuracy of SZ‐CEUS for differentiating between malignant and benign focal liver lesions, as well as for HCC from non‐HCC lesions. The study shows better performance for smaller lesions and those with a higher proportion of malignancy.

Diagnosis of Spontaneous Massive Fetomaternal Hemorrhage: A Case Report and Literature Review
Fetomaternal hemorrhage (FMH) is the passage of fetal blood through the circulatory system of the mother either before or during delivery, and it is rarely diagnosed prenatally. This paper aims to present a comprehensive review of the literature allowing us to offer comprehensive insights into the diagnosis and management of FMH.
