Decisive role of brain biopsy in atypical tumefactive demyelinating lesions: A case report [PDF]
In neuroimaging, tumefactive demyelinating lesions (TDLs), which are rare inflammatory lesions of the central nervous system, can sometimes resemble infectious or malignant processes. Radiologic distinction is frequently made more difficult by their huge

Giant tumefactive perivascular spaces
Perivascular spaces are parts of the glymphatic pathway in the brain, which are microscopic but visible on magnetic resonance imaging when enlarged. Here, we described a case of a 16-year-old boy who presented with chronic headaches.

A case of retinal vasculopathy with cerebral leukoencephalopathy and systemic manifestations [PDF]
Retinal vasculopathy with cerebral leukoencephalopathy (RVCL) is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by mutations in the TREX1 gene, which affects medium and small arteries and veins. Reported in fewer than 50 families worldwide, RVCL typically affects
