Study of 36 cases of ischemic myelopathy following a pseudotumorous course and 30 cases of spinal cord tumors revealed similarity and differences in the clinical manifestations which should be taken into account in differential diagnosis. Authentic differences in the content of serotonin and its metabolites in the cerebrospinal fluid and blood of this group of patients are pointed out.

Article Synopsis
- - A 22-year-old male experienced progressive swelling and vision loss in his right eye over a month, but displayed no systemic symptoms that would indicate an infection or illness.
- - Imaging suggested benign conditions, but blood tests revealed hematological issues that led to a bone marrow biopsy, confirming acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with a favorable genetic marker.
- - After starting chemotherapy, the patient showed significant improvement in his eye symptoms and vision, highlighting the need for awareness of potential blood cancers in young patients with unexplained eye issues.

An 88-year-old man was referred to our hospital for further examination of an asymptomatic liver tumor. MRI showed low-intensity regions on T1-weighted images, high-intensity regions on T2-weighted images, high-intensity regions on diffusion-weighted images, and low-intensity regions in the arterial, portal, and hepatocyte phases of Gd-EOB-DTPA. PET scan of the tumor was positive, while endoscopy exhibited no malignant findings.

Article Synopsis
- The study focused on cerebral pseudotumoral lesions (CPTL) greater than 2 cm, primarily in patients referred for evaluation of multiple sclerosis (MS).
- Most of the 75 patients studied had MS (58.7%), with relapsing disease and specific lesion characteristics being significantly more common in this group compared to non-MS patients.
- Key indicators such as headache, the nature of disease progression, and certain MRI traits could help differentiate between MS and non-MS conditions, suggesting a need for further research with larger sample sizes.

Purpose: To better characterise the effects of corticosteroids on the course of pure idiopathic orbital inflammation syndrome (pIOIS).
Methods: This was a national, multicentre, prospective, non-interventional cohort study (). Among the 35 patients with histologically proven orbital inflammation who had previously been studied for their IgG4 immunostaining status, we selected those with a negative IgG4 status (ie, pIOIS) who received corticosteroids as single first-line treatment.
