Fellows’ Journal Club The authors report a unique series of young patients with COVID-19 presenting with cerebral venous system thrombosis. Three patients younger than 41 years of age with confirmed Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus 2 infection had neurologic findings
Editor’s Choice The authors evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of differentiating cerebral microbleeds and calcifications from phase patterns in axial locations in 31 consecutive patients undergoing both CT and MR imaging for acute infarction and exhibiting dark spots in gradient-echo magnitude
Fellows’ Journal Club Despite a large cohort of 103 patients with COVID-19, the authors found a large number of symptomatic patients with negative neuroimaging findings, and no conclusions can be drawn concerning concrete associations between neuroimaging and COVID-19.
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
Fellows’ Journal Club COVID-19 infection is significantly associated with imaging confirmation of acute ischemic stroke, and patients with COVID-19 should undergo more aggressive monitoring for stroke.
Editor’s Choice The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the shape (bilobed or indented appearance of the Meckel cave) or the size/volume of the Meckel cave on T2-weighted MRI could serve as a noninvasive diagnostic imaging marker for
Fellows’ Journal Club The authors performed a retrospective study of patients with spontaneous intracranial hypotension examined from February 2013 to October 2017. The spine MR imaging was reviewed by 3 blinded readers for the presence of epidural CSF using 3
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
Fellows’ Journal Club The authors performed a retrospective data base search that queried neck CT reports with Neck Imaging Reporting and Data Systems scores of 2–4 from June 2014 to March 2018. The electronic medical records were reviewed to determine
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.
