Canadian Association of Radiologists Central Nervous System Diagnostic Imaging Referral Guideline.
Can Assoc Radiol J
January 2025
North York General Hospital, Toronto, ON, Canada.
The Canadian Association of Radiologists (CAR) Central Nervous System Expert Panel is made up of physicians from the disciplines of radiology, emergency medicine, neurosurgery, and neurology, a patient advisor, and an epidemiologist/guideline methodologist. After developing a list of 24 clinical/diagnostic scenarios, a rapid scoping review was undertaken to identify systematically produced referral guidelines that provide recommendations for one or more of these clinical/diagnostic scenarios. Recommendations from 55 guidelines and contextualization criteria in the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluations (GRADE) for guidelines framework were used to develop 51 recommendation statements across the 24 scenarios.

The Trauma and Neuroscience Institutes, St. John's Hospital and Medical Center, Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Background: Direct carotid-cavernous fistulas (CCFs) are relatively rare but dangerous complications of penetrating traumatic brain injury or maxillofacial trauma. A variety of clinical signs have been described, including ophthalmological and neurological ones. In some cases, severely altered cerebral blood flow can present as massive life-threatening bleeding through the nose, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and/or intraparenchymal hemorrhage.

Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Iwate Medical University, Shiwa-gun, Iwate Prefecture, Japan.
Background: Septic arthritis of the lumbar facet joint (SALFJ) is a rare condition that can lead to serious complications. The authors present an uncommon case in which SALFJ resulted in bacterial meningitis (BM) with hydrocephalus and pyogenic ventriculitis, causing a disturbance of consciousness. Reports describing perforation of the dura mater by an epidural abscess are rare, and the present case offers valuable insights into the management of complex and severe complications arising from SALFJ.

January 2025
University of São Paulo, Department of Neurosurgery, SP, Brazil.
Aim: To assess the changes of intracranial pressure waveforms (ICPW) acquired noninvasively in a set of acute hydrocephalus patients prior to and posterior to interventions.
Material And Methods: Patients with clinical and radiological diagnosis of hydrocephalus were evaluated for alterations in ICPW by means of a system that detects cranial micro expansions just before and immediately after interventions. The system quantified the difference between ICPW peaks (P1 and P2), providing the P2/P1 ratio.
Analysis of risk factors for acute cerebral infarction in patients with intracranial tuberculosis.

January 2025
Department of Radiology, Hangzhou Red Cross Hospital, Hangzhou, China.
Objective: Acute cerebral infarction is a common complication of intracranial tuberculosis (TB), causing irreversible damage to brain tissue and significantly affecting patient prognosis. This study aims to explore the risk factors associated with acute cerebral infarction in patients with intracranial tuberculosis.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data from eligible intracranial TB patients treated at our hospital between January 2020 and March 2023.
