Article Synopsis
- This study looked at cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT), a rare problem that can happen after ear, nose, and throat infections in kids.
- The researchers wanted to see if a treatment called anti-coagulation therapy (ACT) helped improve patients' recovery.
- They found that ACT didn't make a big difference for kids with certain types of infections, and many kids got better whether they had the treatment or not.
Juvenile Xanthogranuloma of the Head and Neck: Imaging Findings in 11 Cases.

Article Synopsis
- Juvenile Xanthogranuloma (JXG) is a rare condition primarily affecting infants, often posing diagnostic challenges, especially when lesions are located outside the skin.
- This study involved analyzing the imaging characteristics of 11 patients with JXG in the head and neck using various imaging modalities such as ultrasound, MRI, and CT.
- Key findings suggest that JXG lesions are typically well-defined with specific imaging features, including mild hyper-intensity on T1-weighted MRI, hypo-intensity on T2-weighted MRI, and potential bone involvement, which can help in diagnosing the condition.
It is well established that extreme prematurity can be associated with cerebellar lesions potentially affecting the neurologic prognosis. One of the commonly observed lesions in these cases is pontocerebellar hypoplasia resulting from prematurity, which can pose challenges in distinguishing it from genetically caused pontocerebellar hypoplasia. This confusion leads to unacceptable and prolonged diagnostic ambiguity for families as well as difficulties in genetic counseling.

Objective: To investigate the short-term efficacy of primary therapy with lanreotide 120 mg at 1 and 3 months on tumour shrinkage and ophthalmologic symptoms in newly diagnosed patients with acromegaly.
Design And Patients: This single-centre retrospective study included 21 patients with de novo acromegaly resulting from pituitary macroadenoma, with optic chiasm compression (Grade ≤ 2) and/or cavernous sinus invasion, treated with a monthly injection of lanreotide 120 mg.
Introduction: Here we report long-term results after stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) with Gamma Knife (GKRS) for Cushing disease. We further evaluated the potential role of the biological effective dose (BED) in the cure of this disease.
Methods: A retrospective review of a prospectively collected database (n = 26) was undertaken at Lille University Hospital, France.
