Article Synopsis
- Pineal cysts are benign growths in the pineal gland often found accidentally during MRIs, usually causing no symptoms but can lead to neurological issues if they grow.
- The exact causes of these cysts are unclear, but factors like inflammation from conditions like fibromyalgia and mechanical stress may contribute, along with potential links to long-term lithium use in psychiatric treatment.
- A case study of a 49-year-old woman with bipolar disorder on lithium highlighted possible connections between cyst formation, systemic inflammation, and psychiatric conditions, indicating the need for more research on these interactions.
Article Synopsis
- - Terson syndrome (TS) is an eye condition linked to subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) that causes bleeding in the eye, leading to visual impairment, and can affect one or both eyes unevenly.
- - A 52-year-old woman experienced TS after a right middle cerebral artery aneurysm rupture during sex, but surprisingly, she reported significant visual issues in her left eye while the right eye showed more damage.
- - TS usually causes symptoms in both eyes, but in this case, the symptoms were predominantly found in the eye opposite to the affected hemisphere, making it an unusual presentation.
Coexistence of mastoid, frontal and vertebral hemangiomas in a patient with diabetic neuropathy: Possible correlation between diabetic angiopathy and intraosseous neoangiogenesis.

August 2024
Bony hemangiomas are benign vascular lesions with an expansive growth; usually they tend to obliterate the entire bony cavity. They are typical lesion of the spinal bones, but they can rarely arise within other bones of the neurocranium. Diabetic microangiopathy is a condition characterized by the development of aberrant vessel tangles anastomosed to each other due to dysregulated neoangiogenesis.

It manifests within a hemorrhage in early hours, with limited studies exploring clot formation and evolution over a short duration. Despite various hypothesized mechanisms, the precise lifetime and dynamics of black hole sign development remain unclear.

A substantial body of evidence supports the clinical utility of the 21-gene assay (Oncotype DX) and 70-gene assay (MammaPrint) to predict BC recurrence and the magnitude of benefit from chemotherapy. However, there is currently no genetic tool able to predict chemosensitivity and chemoresistance to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) during BC treatment.
