ESR Essentials: Image evaluation of patients with seizures and epilepsy-practice recommendations by the European Society of Neuroradiology.

Epilepsy, a neurological disorder characterised by recurrent seizures, poses significant challenges in diagnosis, treatment, and management. Understanding the underlying causes and identifying precise anatomical locations of epileptogenic foci are critical for effective management strategies, particularly in drug-resistant patients. Neuroimaging techniques, particularly magnetic resonance (MR), play a pivotal role in the evaluation of epilepsy patients, offering insights into structural abnormalities, epileptogenic lesions, and functional alterations within the brain.

Article Synopsis
- A 19-year study at a spinal cord injury rehabilitation center examined the prevalence and management of post-traumatic syringomyelia (PTS) in 920 patients, finding a 9% prevalence mainly in those suffering from severe injuries.
- The leading cause of injury was road traffic accidents, with thoracic spine syringomyelia being most common, and upper extremity weakness being a key reason for surgical intervention.
- Surgical procedures showed significant effectiveness in reducing the size of syrinxes, but reoperation rates were notably high, highlighting the importance of ongoing monitoring and evaluation in patients.
Not Every Size Fits All: Surgical Corridors for Clival and Cervical Chordomas-A Systematic Review of the Literature and Illustrative Cases.

Clival chordomas represent a rare but clinically significant subset of skull base tumors, characterized by a locally aggressive nature and a location in proximity to vital neurovascular structures. Surgical resection, often combined with adjuvant therapies, remains the cornerstone of clival chordoma treatment, and various approaches and techniques have evolved to maximize tumor removal while preserving neurological function. Recent advancements in skull base surgery, imaging, and adjuvant therapies have improved outcomes by reducing morbidity and thus enhancing long-term survival.

December 2024
From the Department of Radiology, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA.
Purpose: Fluoroscopic-guided lumbar puncture (FG-LP) is a common neuroradiologic procedure. Traditionally, a minimum platelet count (MPC) of 50,000/μL for this procedure has been required; however, we recently adopted a lower MPC threshold of 20,000/μL. The purpose of this study was to compare adverse events in patients undergoing FG-LP with MPCs above to those below the conventional 50,000/μL threshold.

Awake surgery has become a standard practice for managing diffuse low-grade gliomas (LGGs), particularly in eloquent brain areas, and is established as a gold standard technique for left-dominant-hemisphere tumors. However, the intraoperative monitoring of functions in the right non-dominant hemisphere (RndH) is often neglected, highlighting the need for a better understanding of neurocognitive testing for complex functions in the right hemisphere. This article aims to comprehensively review the current literature on the benefits of awake craniotomy in gliomas of the non-dominant right hemisphere.
