Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is a small vessel disease, causing spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in the elderly. It is strongly associated with Alzheimer disease (AD), as most CAA patients show deposition of Aβ-i.e.

- The study investigates the rare condition of multicentric high-grade glioma (MC HGG), comparing surgical outcomes in patients and existing literature to assess potential advantages of surgery.
- A retrospective analysis was conducted on 16 patients with MC HGG, revealing factors such as age, performance status, and the extent of tumor resection significantly correlate with better prognosis.
- The findings suggest that while MC gliomas are associated with poor outcomes, aggressive surgical intervention may improve survival rates, challenging the belief that they develop from lower-grade gliomas.
Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of transcranial sonography in patients harboring polymethylmethacrylate cranioplasties (PMMA-CP) and explore whether this material is a valid sonic window to explore intracerebral structures.
Methods: In 6 patients, we performed transcranial sonography (TCS), using the PMMA-CP as sonic window. To test the reliability of ultrasound images, we collected several quantitative and qualitative measurements of intracranial structures and compared these sonographic images with standard computed tomography (CT) scan images.
Background: Exposure to magnetic fields may alter the settings of programmable ventriculoperitoneal shunt valves or even cause permanent damages to these devices. There is little information about this topic, none on live patients.
Objective: To investigate the effects of 1.
