Background: Due to the low resolution of historical imaging technologies, descriptions of Septic Arthritis of Facet Joint (SAFJ) in children are scarce, though severe cases are known. We first aimed to estimate the incidence rate of SAFJ in children; we further aimed to specify SAFJ clinical, imaging and laboratory findings, and identify avenues for appropriate management.
Methods: A 10-year consecutive SAFJ case series using our imaging center database combined with a 50-year systematic review of literature cases.
Article Synopsis
- Background: The study examines brain MRI abnormalities in patients with severe COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) and identifies potential neurological issues related to the virus.
- Methods: Researchers analyzed data from 37 hospitalized patients who had neurological symptoms and abnormal brain MRIs between March and April 2020, excluding cases with ischemic strokes or unrelated chronic lesions.
- Results: The patient cohort, primarily older men, exhibited various neurological symptoms, with MRI findings showing significant abnormalities in brain regions including the medial temporal lobe and evidence of microhemorrhages, suggesting COVID-19's impact on brain structure.
The many faces of prenatal imaging diagnosis of primitive aqueduct obstruction.

Objective: To describe the different prenatal imaging patterns related to primary aqueduct obstruction throughout pregnancy and their impact on prenatal counseling.
Method: Retrospective review of consecutive prenatal cases of isolated aqueduct obstruction diagnosed over a seven-year period (2010-2016). Prenatal imaging findings, postnatal imaging, pathological data and postnatal outcome, were analyzed.
Objectives: Neurodevelopmental outcome of apparently isolated agenesis of the corpus callosum (ACC) remains a major concern with uncertain prognosis. Despite "normal" IQ reported in a majority of patients, the rates of learning disabilities and severe outcome (ranging from 0% to 20%) are not clearly established.
Methods: A large population-based series was investigated based on a longitudinal follow-up until school age, using Wechsler Intelligence scales at 3, 5, and 7 years.
