Phaeohyphomycotic agents causing central nervous system (CNS) infection is rare and is known to affect immunocompetent individuals. We present a patient with a CNS phaeohyphomycotic abscess that had developed within a temporal lobe glioma. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) performed two months prior to the surgery showed only the presence of a neoplasm.

The course of management is still debatable given its rarity. We present a case of multiple intracranial aneurysms secondary to atrial myxoma in a young lady with a brief review of the literature.

- Heterotaxy refers to abnormal arrangements of heart and other visceral structures that do not follow the typical layout.
- Isomerism in congenital heart defects features paired structures that are symmetrical mirror images across the body's left-right axis, with distinct types: right (linked with asplenia) and left (linked with polysplenia).
- The report discusses a unique case of left isomerism accompanied by asplenia in a 4-year-old girl.
Introduction: Vulnerable plaques have been shown to predict ipsilateral cerebral ischemic events and identifying them leads to appropriate secondary stroke prevention strategies. We evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of MR carotid plaque imaging in identifying plaque vulnerability when compared with histopathological findings in patients with symptomatic carotid stenosis who underwent carotid endarterectomy (CEA).
Methods: A prospective cohort of forty-five consecutive patients with moderate to severe symptomatic carotid stenosis who underwent CEA at a tertiary Indian hospital had 3 T MRI plaque imaging with multi-parametric protocol between November 2021 and December 2022.
Background: There is conflicting data on whether clot retrieved from mechanical thrombectomy can predict stroke etiology or the success of recanalization. We aimed to analyse the relation between thrombus histology and stroke aetiology as well as recanalization.
Methodology: Histopathological analysis of clots retrieved from patients with acute ischemic stroke and large vessel occlusion was done.
