Cerebral mucormycosis: neuroimaging findings and histopathological correlation.

Introduction: Mucormycosis are infections caused by molds of the order Mucorales. These opportunistic infections are rare, difficult to diagnose, and have a poor prognosis. We aimed to describe common radiographic patterns that may help to diagnose cerebral mucormycosis and search for histopathological correlations with imaging data.

Advanced MRI shape analysis as a predictor of histologically aggressive supratentorial meningioma.

Background And Purpose: A subset of aggressive meningioma is associated with higher morbidity and requires a different therapeutic management. This subset consists of World Health Organization (WHO) grade II and III meningioma, characterized particularly with microscopic brain invasion. Numerous studies tried to screen aggressive meningioma on pre-operative MRI.

Post-stroke Complications and Mortality in Burkinabè Hospitals: Relationships with Deglutition Disorders and Nutritional Status.

Stroke frequently causes deglutition disorders, leading to a decline in nutritional status and complications, and increasing mortality. Sub-Saharan data are scarce. The objectives of this study were to assess complications and mortality among hospitalized patients in Burkina Faso during the first two weeks after stroke, and to investigate associated factors.

Pathologic and MRI analysis in acute atypical inflammatory demyelinating lesions.

Background: The diagnosis of atypical inflammatory demyelinating lesions can be difficult. Brain biopsy is often required to exclude neoplasms. Moreover, the relationship between these lesions and multiple sclerosis and NMOSD is not clear.
