Distinct limbic connectivity in left and right benign mesial temporal lobe epilepsy: Evidence from a resting state functional MRI study.

Background: Functional connectivity (FC) studies showed that pharmaco-resistant mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) affects not only the limbic system, but also several extra-limbic regions, including areas belonging to resting state networks. Less is known about FC in subjects with benign MTLE (i.e.

Role of magnetic resonance imaging following postoperative radiotherapy in clinical decision-making of patients with high-grade glioma.

Objectives: The present study aims to investigate the role of the first magnetic resonances (MRI) following radio-chemotherapy (RT-CT) in patients diagnosed with high-grade glioma.

Methods: We retrospectively recorded radiological evaluations following RT-CT, symptoms related to disease progression (avoiding any sign due to radiotherapy or chemotherapy) and the change of therapeutic strategy.

Results: In March 2021, at data analysis, the data of 149 patients diagnosed with high-grade glioma and treated between May 2013 and July 2020 were retrieved for the present analysis.

A case of intravascular large B cell lymphoma with brain involvement mimicking progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy.

Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) is a very rare form of extranodal lymphoma, characterized by the proliferation of neoplastic B cells within the lumen of small vessels. Due to its high aggressivity, for years the prognosis had been really poor with only anectodical cases of remission after traditional chemotherapy. More recently, new therapeutic protocols allowed a significant increase in overall survival.

Cerebello-thalamo-cortical network is intrinsically altered in essential tremor: evidence from a resting state functional MRI study.

Cerebello-thalamo-cortical network is suggested to be involved in the pathophysiology of Essential Tremor (ET). 23 patients with ET and 23 matched HC underwent a 3T-MRI with acquisition of a resting state sequence. Connectivity was investigated using a seed-based regression analyses approach.

Impact of a posttraumatic cerebral infarction on outcome in patients with TBI: the Italian multicenter cohort INCEPT study.

Background: Post-traumatic cerebral infarction (PTCI) is common after traumatic brain injury (TBI). It is unclear what the occurrence of a PTCI is, how it impacts the long-term outcome, and whether it adds incremental prognostic value to established outcome predictors.

Methods: This was a prospective multicenter cohort study of moderate and severe TBI patients.
