Article Synopsis
- Glioblastomas are aggressive brain tumors that disrupt the glymphatic system, which affects how the brain drains waste and could influence disease severity.
- Research highlighted significant changes in lymphatic outflow and cerebrospinal fluid drainage in glioblastoma patients, suggesting the glymphatic system plays a critical role in managing these tumors.
- The study emphasizes the need for future research to understand the molecular mechanisms behind these changes and to improve treatment strategies, including drug delivery and immunotherapy.
Background/aim: Intraventricular cerebral metastases (IVCM) are a rare but clinically significant subset of brain metastases. This systematic review aimed to provide a comprehensive analysis of IVCM by synthesizing current literature on epidemiology, clinical presentation, imaging features, pathophysiology, and treatment options.
Materials And Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted, identifying 11 relevant studies encompassing 11 studies encompassing 842 IVCM cases.
Remote intracerebral hemorrhage (RICH) is a rare yet highly consequential complication that can occur after a craniotomy performed for the evacuation of an intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). In this case report, we present the clinical details of a 74-year-old female patient who underwent a supratentorial craniotomy to address an ICH, and subsequently developed RICH. A 74-year-old woman was admitted to our department with a severe headache, onset of dysarthria, and left-sided brachio-crural hemiparesis.

The real incidence of these accidents is still unclear. The authors here present a systematic review of the literature, focusing on head injury, and related recommendations for its evaluation and management, also reporting a case of a female patient injured by a motorboat propeller.
