Right middle cerebral artery infarct after minor head trauma in an infant: Case report and literature review.

Ishaemic stroke (IS) in the paediatric population is extremely rare. In this age group, the occurrence of IS often concurs with underlying congenital heart disease, haematological, metabolic or immunological conditions. In contrast, the association between IS and minor head injury in children has been sparse in current literature.

Characterization of Pyramidal Tract Shift in High-Grade Glioma Resection.

Objective: This study aimed to characterize pyramidal tract shift in different regions of the brain during glioma resection and its association with head position and tumor location.

Methods: From 2008-2013, 14 patients presenting at the National Neuroscience Institute with high-grade glioma (World Health Organization III or IV) underwent preoperative and intraoperative diffusion tensor imaging. A novel method of placing landmarks along the preoperative and intraoperative tracts, with anterior commissure as the origin, was used to determine pyramidal tract shift.
