BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Tuberculous (TB) meningitis is a common type of central nervous system infection, and may cause multifocal cerebral infarctions due to the involvement of cerebral vasculature. This systematic review aims to review and synthesize the utility of transcranial Doppler (TCD) in TB meningitis. METHODS: This is a systematic review of observational studies on the use of TCD in patients diagnosed to have TB meningitis. Study outcomes included changes in TCD parameters during stages of TB meningitis, frequency of neurologic complications (such as hydrocephalus, vasculopathy, and cerebral infarction), correlation of TCD findings with neuroimaging, and functional outcomes...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a key role in diagnosing and monitoring multiple sclerosis (MS). Double inversion recovery (DIR) is a pulse sequence that has proven highly effective at detecting cortical lesions but is understudied in the spinal cord. We hypothesize that DIR images obtained during brain MRI can be of value in assessing the upper spinal cord of MS patients. METHODS: We retrospectively examined brain MRI exams of 64 patients with established MS, who had also undergone cervical spine MRI...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is a known cause of headaches and neurologic symptoms, but the frequency of cranial nerve symptoms and abnormalities on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has not been well described. The purpose of this study was to document cranial nerve findings in patients with SIH and determine the relationship between imaging findings and clinical symptoms. METHODS: Patients diagnosed with SIH with pre-treatment brain MRI at a single institution from September 2014 to July 2017 were retrospectively reviewed to determine the frequency of clinically significant visual changes/diplopia (cranial nerves 3 and 6) and hearing changes/vertigo (cranial nerve 8)...

When head and neck infection is suspected, appropriate imaging contributes to treatment decisions and prognosis. While contrast-enhanced CT is the standard imaging modality for evaluating head and neck infections, MRI can better characterize the skull base, intracranial involvement, and osteomyelitis, implying that these are complementary techniques for a comprehensive assessment. Both CT and MRI are useful in the evaluation of abscesses and thrombophlebitis, while MRI is especially useful in the evaluation of intracranial inflammatory spread/abscess formation, differentiation of abscess from other conditions, evaluation of the presence and activity of inflammation and osteomyelitis, evaluation of mastoid extension in middle ear cholesteatoma, and evaluation of facial neuritis and labyrinthitis...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Stenting is an important treatment for preventing stroke. However, the effect of vertebrobasilar stenting (VBS) might be limited because of relatively high periprocedural risks. Silent brain infarcts (SBIs) are known as a predictor for future stroke. Because of anatomical differences, factors for SBIs might be different between carotid artery stenting (CAS) and VBS. We compared the characteristics of SBIs between VBS and CAS. METHODS: We included patients who underwent elective VBS or CAS...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Spatial registration is crucial in establishing correspondence between anatomic brain regions for research and clinical purposes. The insular cortex (IC) and gyri (IG) are implicated in various functions and pathologies including epilepsy. Optimizing registration of the insula to a common atlas can improve the accuracy of group-level analyses. Here, we compared six nonlinear, one linear, and one semiautomated registration algorithms (RAs) for registering the IC and IG to the Montreal Neurologic Institute standard space (MNI152)...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Artifact from cochlear implant electrodes degrades image resolution on CT. Here, we describe the use of coregistered pre- and postoperative CT images to reduce metallic artifact from the electrodes to assess its position more accurately within the cochlear lumen. METHODS: Pre- and postoperative CTs were reviewed after coregistration/overlay of both exams. Images were evaluated by two neuroradiologists for scalar location of electrodes tip (± scalar translocation), tip fold over, and angular depth of insertion...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Two early basilar artery occlusion (BAO) randomized controlled trials did not establish the superiority of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) over medical management. While many providers continue to recommend EVT for acute BAO, perceptions of equipoise in randomizing patients with BAO to EVT versus medical management may differ between clinician specialties. METHODS: We conducted an international survey (January 18, 2022 to March 31, 2022) regarding management strategies in acute BAO prior to the announcement of two trials indicating the superiority of EVT, and compared responses between interventionalists (INTs) and non-interventionalists (nINTs)...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Cortical demyelinated lesions are prevalent in multiple sclerosis (MS), associated with disability, and have recently been incorporated into MS diagnostic criteria. Presently, advanced and ultrahigh-field MRIs-not routinely available in clinical practice-are the most sensitive methods for detection of cortical lesions. Approaches utilizing MRI sequences obtainable in routine clinical practice remain an unmet need. We plan to assess the sensitivity of the ratio of T1 -weighted and T2 -weighted (T1 /T2 ) signal intensity for focal cortical lesions in comparison to other high-field imaging methods...
