Evaluation of peritraumatic distress at the point of care: A cross-sectional study.

Background: COVID-19 related peritraumatic distress has been investigated in the general population with contrasting results probably due to the perceived risk of developing COVID-19. Our study aims to investigate this condition in individuals with ascertained or probable SARS-CoV-2 exposure.

Methods: The Coronavirus Peritraumatic Distress Index (CPDI) was administered to people attending a COVID-19 point of care.

Supratentorial Embryonal Tumors in the Elderly: Diagnostic Pitfalls and Clinical Prognosis.

Supratentorial embryonal tumors are very rare malignant tumors of neuroectodermal origin, characterized by an aggressive clinical behavior. They occur prevalently in children. They have been sporadically described in adults and represent an even rarer occurrence in elderly patients, raising many issues on the diagnostic pitfalls and their appropriate management.

Cerebral sinovenous thrombosis (CSVT) in children: what the pediatric radiologists need to know.

Cerebral sinovenous thrombosis (CSVT) is a relatively uncommon and potentially life-threatening condition in childhood, occurring in various clinical settings. Nowadays, however, it is increasingly diagnosed as related to many causes, likely due to greater clinical awareness and improvement of neuroradiologic techniques. The prompt diagnosis is an important goal to significantly reduce the risk of acute complications and long-term sequelae.

Paraganglioma of the cauda equina region.

Background Context: Cauda equina paragangliomas (CEPs) are rare neuroendocrine tumors. The difficulty in differential diagnosis with other tumors of this region may be misleading for surgical planning and prognostic expectations.

Purpose: To report on a rare case of CEP and review the most current information regarding the diagnosis, treatment options, and outcomes.
