The Lateral Ventricles: A Detailed Review of Anatomy, Development, and Anatomic Variations.

The cerebral ventricles have been studied since the fourth century BC and were originally thought to harbor the soul and higher executive functions. During the infancy of neuroradiology, alterations to the ventricular shape and position on pneumoencephalography and ventriculography were signs of mass effect or volume loss. However, in the current era of high-resolution cross-sectional imaging, variation in ventricular anatomy is more easily detectable and its clinical significance is still being investigated.

A 73-gene proliferative transcriptomic signature predicts uterine serous carcinoma patient survival and response to primary therapy.

Objectives: To develop a transcriptomic signature capable of predicting overall survival (OS) for uterine serous carcinoma (USC).

Methods: RNAseq data for 58 USC patients were obtained from TCGA. Expression of 73 candidate genes was measured for 67 Augusta University (AU) samples using NanoString technology.

Head and Neck Sarcomas: A Review of Clinical and Imaging Findings Based on the 2013 World Health Organization Classification.

Objective: Head and neck sarcomas are a complex, heterogeneous group of tumors that present a diagnostic challenge to radiologists because they have many overlapping imaging features. The purpose of this article is to review the imaging and clinical features and highlight distinguishing features of head and neck sarcomas.

Conclusion: An understanding of characteristic imaging and clinical features of head and neck sarcomas is important for the radiologist to narrow the differential diagnosis and help guide management.

Egg-and-Banana Sign: A Novel Diagnostic CT Marker for Pulmonary Hypertension.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to retrospectively determine whether the egg-and-banana sign, defined as the visualization of the main pulmonary artery (PA) at the level of the aortic arch, is a sensitive and specific diagnostic marker for pulmonary hypertension.

Materials And Methods: A total of 186 patients who, between January 2014 and July 2017, received right heart catheterizations and underwent CT studies that included the aortic arch within 140 days of catheterization were evaluated in this retrospective study. Of these patients, 127 had pulmonary hypertension (PH), and 59 who did not have PH served as control subjects.

Persistent Lobar Atelectasis in a Patient With Chronic Hoarseness.

A 61-year-old woman presented for outpatient evaluation of a 1-week history of fever and upper respiratory symptoms. She denied tobacco use, weight loss, hemoptysis, chronic cough, or recent travel and was in otherwise good health. Her medical history was insignificant except for her chronic hoarseness from a prior laryngeal disease.
