Fellows’ Journal Club Spinal cord lesions are frequently observed in children with mitochondrial disorders and may mimic more common causes such as demyelination and ischemia.
Fellows’ Journal Club Subpial hemorrhage with underlying infarction is a recognizable condition with unique MR imaging and sonographic features. Improved recognition may advance understanding of risk factors and outcomes.
Editor’s Choice A robust motion-tracked section-to-volume registration algorithm enabled deterministic tractography of the superior cerebellar peduncle and middle cerebellar peduncle in vivo and allowed characterization of developmental changes in this study of 58 fetuses with a median gestational age of
Editor’s Choice The authors identified all fetal MR imaging performed at their institution during a 10-year period (n = 145) and assessed agreement between prenatal prognosis and postnatal outcome. Prenatal prognosis was determined by a pediatric neurologist who reviewed the
Fellows’ Journal Club The authors retrospectively examined the MRI of children diagnosed with neurofibromatosis type 1 using the National Institutes of Health Consensus Criteria (1987), with imaging follow-up of at least 4 years. They recorded the number, size, and surface
Editor’s Choice This study cohort comprised 617 children (median age, 92 months; 56% males) from 5 pediatric institutions with posterior fossa tumors: diffuse midline glioma of the pons, medulloblastoma, pilocytic astrocytoma, and ependymoma. There were 199 controls. Tumor histology served
Editor’s Choice The authors retrospectively reviewed 50 patients (mean age, 8.3 years) with different polymicrogyria (n = 42) and lissencephaly (n = 8) subtypes. The fiber direction-encoded color maps and 6 different white matter tracts reconstructed from each patient were
Editor’s Choice Intra-arterial chemotherapy (IAC) for retinoblastoma (Rb) has dramatically altered the natural history of the disease. Cure rates, globe salvage, and vision preservation have dramatically increased. This retrospective chart review evaluated 207 Rb tumors of 207 eyes in 196
Editor’s Choice This retrospective study included preoperative MR imaging of 288 pediatric patients with pediatric posterior fossa tumors, including medulloblastoma (n=111), ependymoma (n=70), and pilocytic astrocytoma (n=107). Radiomics features were extracted from T2-weighted images, contrast-enhanced T1-weighted images, and ADC maps.
Fellows’ Journal Club The authors aimed to identify brain MR imaging characteristics obtained from fetal and early neonatal scans that can predict the clinical presentation. A total of 32 neonatal patients (21 patients in the neonatal at-risk cohort, 11 in
