Hexamodal awake brain mapping (language, sensorimotor, ictal, visual, auditory) for multilobar resection in a dominant hemisphere parieto-fronto-temporo-occipital cortical malformation with drug-resistant epilepsy.

Surgically remediable epilepsy of the eloquent brain poses the added challenge of preserving function while curing disease. Long-standing epileptogenic lesions have tenacious seizure networks and significant functional reorganizations. Large multilobar lesions may involve multiple functional areas, thereby challenging the limits of functional brain mapping.

An Intratumoral Phaeohyphomycotic Abscess in a Chemotherapy-Naive IDH-Mutant Glioma: A Mere Coincidence?

Phaeohyphomycotic agents causing central nervous system (CNS) infection is rare and is known to affect immunocompetent individuals. We present a patient with a CNS phaeohyphomycotic abscess that had developed within a temporal lobe glioma. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) performed two months prior to the surgery showed only the presence of a neoplasm.

Thrombus histology does not predict stroke etiological subtype but influences recanalization.

Background: There is conflicting data on whether clot retrieved from mechanical thrombectomy can predict stroke etiology or the success of recanalization. We aimed to analyse the relation between thrombus histology and stroke aetiology as well as recanalization.

Methodology: Histopathological analysis of clots retrieved from patients with acute ischemic stroke and large vessel occlusion was done.

Femoral Vein Intravascular Synovial Sarcoma Mimicking Primary Deep Vein Thrombosis-A Rare Cause of Deep Vein Thrombosis.

Synovial sarcomas are rare malignant mesenchymal soft tissue tumors. We presented the case of a 53-year-old woman patient presenting with acute deep vein thrombosis, later diagnosed as a deep synovial sarcoma of the femoral vein wall. The tumor was identified through cross-sectional magnetic resonance angiography and computed tomography, followed by ultrasound-guided core biopsy.
