Atypical attention and saccade vigor in post-traumatic stress disorder.

Effective attention control is essential for behavioral adaptation to different environmental contexts. In Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) altered attention has been described in trauma-related and other emotional contexts. Nevertheless, atypical attention is also seen with neutral stimuli.

Prenatal diagnosis of pontocerebellar hypoplasia with postnatal follow-up.

Objective: To describe the MR features enabling prenatal diagnosis of pontocerebellar hypoplasia (PCH).

Method: This was a retrospective single monocentre study. The inclusion criteria were decreased cerebellar biometry on dedicated neurosonography and available fetal Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) with PCH diagnosis later confirmed either genetically or clinically on post-natal MRI or by autopsy.

Benefits of combined use of Ga Dotatoc and 5-ALA fluorescence for recurrent atypical skull-base meningioma after previous microsurgery and Gamma Knife radiosurgery: a case report.

Background: Studies of novel microsurgical adjuncts, such as 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) fluorescence have shown various fluorescence patterns within meningiomas, opening new avenues for complete microsurgical resection. Here, we present a recurrent, radiation-induced meningioma, previously operated on two occasions (initial gross total resection and subtotal 12 years later) and also irradiated by Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKR, 6 years after the first surgery). We thought to assess the usefulness of Ga Dotatoc in surgical target planning and of 5-ALA as an adjunct for maximal microsurgical excision.
