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
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
Cataltepe O, Jallo GI. Pediatric Epilepsy Surgery: Preoperative Assessment and Surgical Treatment. 2nd ed. Thieme; 2019; 721 pp; 796 ill; $299.99 The surgical treatment of epilepsy in children has expanded significantly in the past 2 decades, both in the number
Fellows’ Journal Club Seven studies were included, reporting 5938 children (mean age, 11.3 ± 2.8 years). Incidental findings were present in 16.4% of healthy children, intracranial cysts being the most frequent (10.2%). Nonspecific white matter hyperintensities were reported in 1.9%,
Editor’s Choice The authors sought to determine the predictive values of contrast-enhanced MR imaging and TOF-MRA for brain AVM recurrence in children, compared with conventional angiography, in 39 patients (mean 10.8 years of age, mean Spetzler-Martin grade, 1.9). Features predictive
Fellows’ Journal Club The authors performed a retrospective analysis of data from 188 consecutive patients with focal cortical dysplasia and refractory epilepsy with at least 2 years of postsurgery follow-up. Predictors of seizure freedom and the sensitivity of neuroimaging modalities
Editor’s Choice The purpose of this study was to identify the neural correlates of attentional problems in adolescents born prematurely and determine neonatal predictors of those neural correlates and attention problems. Of the 24 subjects, 12 had attention deficits. A
Fellows’ Journal Club Patients with the ACTA2 mutation have distinctive clinical and angiographic features—specifically, a combination of ectasia and stenosis, a straight arterial course, absence of basal collaterals, and more widespread cerebrovascular involvement in comparison with Moyamoya disease.
