Impact of Sex Hormones on Glioblastoma: Sex-Related Differences and Neuroradiological Insights.

Glioblastoma (GBM) displays significant gender disparities, being 1.6 times more prevalent in men, with a median survival time of 15.0 months for males compared to 25.

Many strokes from a single non-stenosing plaque: from the last event a light to the first one?

Introduction: Large artery atherosclerosis is a relevant cause of ischemic stroke. Beyond carotid artery stenosis ≥ 50%, causative in etiological classification of stroke, non-stenosing plaques are an increasingly reported cause of stroke with embolic pattern.

Methods: We are presenting the case of a 56 years old woman presenting with a first symptomatic multifocal ischemic stroke in the right internal carotid artery (ICA) territory on 2018 and a finding of asymptomatic past vascular injury in the same vascular territory on neuroimaging studies.

Trigeminal Pontine Sign: From Imaging to Diseases Beyond Trigeminal Neuralgia.

The so-called trigeminal pontine sign has been described as a marker of different diseases, from multiple sclerosis to herpetic infections. First, it has been proposed as linear hyperintensity in the pons on the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of patients with multiple sclerosis and trigeminal neuralgia. After these descriptions, it has been reported as incidental findings in the same patients and in patients with HSV or VZV infections.

Double strike without stroke: a postpartum headache with too many causes.

Introduction: Pregnancy and postpartum are phases in the women's life where the thrombotic risk is increased both on the venous and on the arterial side.

Methods: We are presenting the case of a young woman at the third pregnancy, carried out without complications until delivery, whose postpartum was characterized by the occurrence of headache. Neuroimaging studies were performed, firstly brain computed tomography (CT) with CT Angiography and after brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) with MR Angiography.
