Needle electromyography does not meaningfully impact findings in MR-neurography/-myography.

Introduction: Magnetic resonance neurography (MRN) and myography (MRM) are emerging imaging methods for detecting diseases of the peripheral nerve system (PNS). Most patients with PNS diseases also undergo needle electromyography (EMG). This study examined whether EMG led to lesions that were detectable using MRN/MRM and whether these lesions could impair image interpretation.

Thrombectomy With the pRESET vs Solitaire Stent Retrievers as First-Line Large Vessel Occlusion Stroke Treatment: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Importance: Stent retriever-based thrombectomy is highly beneficial in large vessel occlusion (LVO) strokes. Many stent retriever designs are currently available, but comparison of these technologies in well-conducted studies is lacking.

Objective: To determine whether thrombectomy for LVO stroke with the pRESET stent retriever is noninferior to treatment with the Solitaire stent retriever.

Hypertrophy of the Spinalis Cervicis Muscle in Cervical Dystonia.

Background: Botulinum neurotoxin A (BoNT) is the first line treatment for cervical dystonia (CD) and treatment outcome significantly depends on the correct identification of the muscles involved.

Phenomenology Shown: In a case with insufficient response to BoNT treatment further work up with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the neck revealed a hypertrophic spinalis cervicis muscle, that is not commonly involved in CD.

Educational Value: This highlights the use of MRI for muscle selection in treatment refractory CD cases.

Proposal of a diagnostic algorithm for radiation-induced dropped head syndrome in long-term childhood cancer survivors based on a prospective study in a specialized clinical setting and a review of the literature.

Purpose: To prospectively assess the incidence of Dropped Head Syndrome (DHS) in childhood cancer survivors (CCS) and to develop and evaluate a diagnostic algorithm for DHS.

Methods: A systematic literature search for DHS in combination with neck radiotherapy (RT) exposure was performed. Analyses and a combination of the most common examination methods were integrated into a diagnostic algorithm.

LIQUID - Treatment of high-grade dural arteriovenous fistulas with Squid liquid embolic agent: a prospective, observational multicenter study.

Background: Endovascular embolization is a feasible treatment for cranial dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs). New embolic agents aim to improve the success of DAVF embolization.

Objective: To assess the safety, efficacy, and short-term outcome of the treatment of DAVFs using the new liquid embolic agent Squid.
