Spinal cysticercosis: A case report.

Spinal cysticercosis is a rare and severe cysticercosis complication. The pathology is from the inflammatory reaction and granuloma formation around the eggs, which cause focal neurological deficits. Because of the rarity of this condition, diagnosis may be delayed and confused with other myelopathies such as neoplasms or myelitis.

Predictive Value of Preoperative Diffusion Tensor Imaging for Evaluating Postoperative Outcomes of Supratentorial Glioma in the Motor Function Area.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the predictive value of preoperative diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) data for surgical outcomes of patients with supratentorial glioma in the motor function area.

Patients And Methods: This is a retrospective study of 43 patients receiving navigation-guided surgery for histopathologically demonstrated supratentorial glioma in the motor function area. All patients underwent preoperative 3 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging examinations with conventional and DTI sequences.

Magnetic resonance imaging of a third ventricular chordoid glioma.

Chordoid gliomas are uncommon neoplasms located within the anterior portion of the third ventricle. In this article, we aimed to describe the clinical presentation, magnetic resonance imaging characteristics, histological findings, and surgical treatment applied to a case of chordoid glioma. Chordoid gliomas are typically observed as solid masses within the anterior segment of the third ventricle, characterized by homogenous and vivid enhancement.
