Article Synopsis
  • * These tumors are located in critical areas of the brain and spinal cord, making surgical intervention difficult, and they typically present with a specific set of symptoms.
  • * A case of a 17-year-old girl with spinal diffuse midline glioma showed unusual bone metastases, highlighting the need for early diagnosis and personalized treatment plans, as well as the importance of further research into the tumor's molecular characteristics.

Background: The main goal of glioma surgery is to remove the maximum amount of tumor without worsening the patient's neurological condition. Intraoperative ultrasound (US) imaging technologies (2D and 3D) are available to assist surgeons, providing real-time updates. Considering additional time, personnel, and cost, we investigate if comparable outcomes can be achieved using basic (2D) and advanced (3D) technology.

Purpose and background: Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutation and O-6 methyl guanine methyl transferase (MGMT) methylation are surrogate biomarkers of improved survival in gliomas. This study aims at studying the ability of semantic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features to predict the IDH mutation status confirmed by the gold standard molecular tests. Methods: The MRI of 148 patients were reviewed for various imaging parameters based on the Visually AcceSAble Rembrandt Images (VASARI) study.
