Bone marrow edema (BME) is defined as an area of low signal intensity on T1-weighted (T1W) MRI images and associated with intermediate or high signal intensity findings on T2-weighted (T2W) MRI images. BME represents a typical imaging finding that characterizes common stress-related bone injuries of professional and amateur athletes. The etiology of stress-related injuries is influenced by numerous factors, including the initiation of a new sports activity or changes in an existing training protocol.

We describe magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings, in 3 adult cases of biopsy-confirmed glioblastoma. Conventional MRI findings were unclear with regard to the differential diagnosis between this rare tumor and other more common spinal cord lesions, including less aggressive tumors such as ependymoma or pilocytic astrocytoma, abscesses or tumefactive demyelinating lesions.

- - Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a serious immune response that can occur after a transplant, leading to severe health issues and potential organ failure, often resulting in death.
- - Patients with GVHD can experience various neurological symptoms, particularly during the acute phase of the disease, which may be nonspecific.
- - A case study of a 53-year-old woman with severe GVHD after a bone marrow transplant showed acute neurological symptoms, with MRI scans indicating conditions like Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome and Wernicke Encephalopathy.

Aim: To compare the efficacy and side-effects of posterior sub-Tenon injection of triamcinolone acetonide (Kenalog) with orbital floor injection of methylpredisolone acetate (Depomedrone) in the management of posterior uveitis.
Methods: Non-randomized comparative prospective clinical study. Sixty-four eyes from 60 consecutive patients with non-infectious posterior uveitis requiring treatment were allocated on an alternate 1:1 basis to receive either orbital floor methylprednisolone or sub-Tenon triamcinolone using standard procedures and assessed at 6 and 12 weeks.
