ABSTRACT Anterior third ventricular cysts may present solely with endocrine abnormalities due to subtle hypothalamic compression. Endoscopic fenestration can reverse hormone disturbances when imaging correlates with clinical findings. Structural CNS pathology should be considered in unexplained pediatric pubertal changes, and surgical decompression may

Ultrasonography of the Adrenal Gland [PDF]
With appropriate techniques and using liver, spleen or kidney as an acoustic window, normal adrenal gland and adrenal lesions can be delineated by ultrasonography. The right adrenal gland is usually evaluated by transverse oblique scans and coronal scans,

Optimizing Nervous System-Specific Gene Targeting with Cre Driver Lines: Prevalence of Germline Recombination and Influencing Factors. [PDF]
The Cre-loxP system is invaluable for spatial and temporal control of gene knockout, knockin, and reporter expression in the mouse nervous system. However, we report varying probabilities of unexpected germline recombination in distinct Cre driver lines ...

Efficacy of neurosurgical interventions for epilepsy in polymicrogyria: A systematic review
Abstract Polymicrogyria (PMG) is a rare malformation of cortical development (MCD) characterized by abnormal neuronal architecture, often associated with epilepsy. Neurosurgical interventions have been explored, but their effectiveness remains a subject of ongoing research and debate.

A review on the diagnosis and treatment of patients with clinically nonfunctioning pituitary adenoma by the Neuroendocrinology Department of the Brazilian Society of Endocrinology and Metabolism [PDF]
Clinically nonfunctioning pituitary adenomas (NFPA) are the most common pituitary tumors after prolactinomas. The absence of clinical symptoms of hormonal hypersecretion can contribute to the late diagnosis of the disease.

Abstract Objective Magnetic resonance‐guided laser interstitial thermal therapy (MRgLITT) is a minimally invasive technique that allows for real‐time magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) monitoring and precise ablation of epileptogenic lesions. This study reports our initial clinical experience with a domestically developed MRgLITT system in patients with ...

Getting the best outcomes from epilepsy surgery. [PDF]
Neurosurgery is an underutilized treatment that can potentially cure drug-refractory epilepsy. Careful, multidisciplinary presurgical evaluation is vital for selecting patients and to ensure optimal outcomes.

Abstract Objective To investigate a recently developed MRI technique for mapping the Mean Diffusivity of Tissue (MDT), which improves diffusion MRI imaging of the cerebral cortex by reducing partial volume effects from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). As cortical lesions are common in patients with focal epilepsy, we explored the clinical value of MDT ...
