Purpose: Bilateral inferior petrosal sinus sampling (BIPSS) with corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) was the gold standard for distinguishing Cushing disease (CD) from ectopic ACTH secretion (EAS). CRH, however, is no longer available.
Objective: To assess the reliability of BIPSS with desmopressin to differentiate CD from EAS.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to track the outcomes of patients with brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) who were managed conservatively, revealing key statistics on related morbidity and mortality over a 10-year period.
- Out of 1010 patients initially recruited, 434 were analyzed, with a majority having unruptured low-grade AVMs, demonstrating a 5% occurrence of serious outcomes and a higher risk in those with a history of rupture or older age.
- During the follow-up of approximately 3.2 years, 8% of patients experienced major intracranial hemorrhages, highlighting the ongoing risks associated with conservative management of AVMs.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of an automated algorithm for measuring intracranial blood volume to predict complications like delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) and acute hydrocephalus (AH) in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH).
- It compares the algorithm's predictive accuracy using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) against eight established radiological scales.
- Results from 145 patients indicate that the algorithm performs similarly to existing scales in predicting DCI and AH, with significant correlations found, particularly with the Hijdra scale for cisternal blood volume.
Aims: Hypophysitis is defined as an inflammation of the pituitary gland and/or infundibulum. Our aim was to characterize the initial course and evolution of patients with hypophysitis according to the different etiologies.
Patients And Methods: Retrospective observational study conducted in a universitary referral hospital center.
Background: The pathophysiology of normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) has not been fully elucidated. Treating NPH with cerebrospinal fluid shunts to improve gait disturbances may have some risks and inconsistent benefits. No clear predictive factor has been identified thus far.
