Non-traumatic acute myelopathies: Clinical and imaging features in a real world emergency setting.

Objective: The aetiologic diagnosis of non-traumatic acute myelopathies (AMs), and their differentiation from other mimicking conditions (i.e. 'mimics'), are clinically challenging, especially in the emergency setting.

Early stage glioblastoma: retrospective multicentric analysis of clinical and radiological features.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to report our experience with early stage glioblastoma (e-GB) and to investigate the possible clinical and imaging features that may be helpful to the radiologist to correctly diagnose this entity.

Methods: We performed a retrospective research of patients diagnosed with glioblastoma at two hospitals during a 10-year period. We reviewed all pre-operative MR and included only patients with early stage GB lesions, characterized by hyperintense on T2-weighted signal, with or without contrast-enhancement at post-contrast T1-weighted images, without "classic" imaging appearance of GB (necrosis, haemorrhage, oedema).

Switch Strategy from Direct Aspiration First Pass Technique to Solumbra Improves Technical Outcome in Endovascularly Treated Stroke.

Background: The major endovascular mechanic thrombectomy (MT) techniques are: Stent-Retriever (SR), aspiration first pass technique (ADAPT) and Solumbra (Aspiration + SR), which are interchangeable (defined as switching strategy (SS)). The purpose of this study is to report the added value of switching from ADAPT to Solumbra in unsuccessful revascularization stroke patients.

Methods: This is a retrospective, single center, pragmatic, cohort study.

Tailored Vessel-Catheter Diameter Ratio in a Direct Aspiration First-Pass Technique: Is It a Matter of Caliber?

Background And Purpose: The aspiration technique has gained a prominent role in mechanical thrombectomy. The thrombectomy goal is successful revascularization (modified TICI ≥ 2b) and first-pass effect. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of the vessel-catheter ratio on the modified TICI ≥ 2b and first-pass effect.

Promyelocytic sarcoma of the spine: a case report and review of the literature.

Myeloid sarcoma (MS, previously named granulocytic sarcoma or chloroma) is a rare extramedullary tumour of immature myeloid cells. It can be present before, concurrently with, or after the diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia. MS is extremely uncommon in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL).
