Craniopharyngiomas emanate from squamous cell remnants in the hypophyseal/pharyngeal duct region. This report details the unprecedented case of a 29-year-old male with adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma, who, following a motor vehicle collision (MVC), presented with post-traumatic intratumoral hemorrhage leading to acute basal ganglia infarct. The patient, previously subjected to subtotal resection, exhibited focal neurological deficits attributed to compression of lenticulostriate arteries due to the sudden increase in tumor volume.

Objective: To analyze clinical and radiographic features that may impact the rate of focal hyperostosis (FH) on computed tomography (CT) for primary and recurrent sinonasal inverted papillomas (IPs) as well as highlight factors that may affect concordance between FH and IP true attachment point (TAP).

Methods: All IPs resected between 2006 and 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. CTs were read by a neuroradiologist blinded to operative details.

The pericardial cyst is a benign, uncommon congenital cystic lesion of pericardial origin located in the anterior and middle mediastinum. Most commonly, pericardial cysts are located in the right anterior cardiophrenic angle. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the chest are the non-invasive imaging modalities for the diagnosis of the pericardial cyst.

In this study, we developed an automated workflow using a deep learning model (DL) to measure the lateral ventricle linearly in fetal brain MRI, which are subsequently classified into normal or ventriculomegaly, defined as a diameter wider than 10 mm at the level of the thalamus and choroid plexus. To accomplish this, we first trained a UNet-based deep learning model to segment the brain of a fetus into seven different tissue categories using a public dataset (FeTA 2022) consisting of fetal T2-weighted images. Then, an automatic workflow was developed to perform lateral ventricle measurement at the level of the thalamus and choroid plexus.

A 52-year-old female presented with epigastric pain, yellowing of the sclera, and vomiting for three weeks. Laboratory investigations revealed markedly elevated serum bilirubin and alkaline phosphatase levels, accompanied by a modest rise in transaminases. A clinical diagnosis of obstructive jaundice was established.

Recurrent painful ophthalmoplegic neuropathy (RPON), previously known as ophthalmoplegic migraine, is a rare disease that predominantly affects children. Recurrent episodes of ocular cranial nerve paresis with ipsilateral headache characterize this disorder. Diagnosis is mainly clinical with imaging being used as an adjunct.
