Article Synopsis
- Sarcopenia, linked to poor outcomes in solid cancers, is measured by temporalis muscle thickness (TMT), and this study examines TMT's relationship with outcomes in patients with malignant brain tumors.
- The research analyzed 17 studies with 4430 patients, finding that thicker TMT is generally associated with better overall survival and progression-free survival in conditions like glioblastoma, brain metastases, and primary CNS lymphoma.
- The findings suggest TMT can serve as an important prognostic tool, aiding clinicians and patients in making informed treatment decisions.
Spinal arachnoid cysts are rarely occurring benign cerebrospinal fluid-containing lesions that can occur anywhere along the spinal axis but are principally seen in the thoracic spine. They occur either ventrally or dorsally and can be extradural, intradural extramedullary, or intramedullary. They may be asymptomatic or can present with insidious pain and neurologic symptoms related to spinal cord and/or nerve root compression.
