Published: January 2009

Objective: The aim of this article is to review the embryology of the choroid plexus and the spectrum of disorders involving the choroid plexus in children and to illustrate their radiologic features.

Conclusion: The choroid plexus is an important part of the CNS that can be the primary or secondary location for many congenital abnormalities or pathologic conditions such as neoplasms, infections, inflammatory processes, cysts, and vascular malformations.

Different Imaging Evaluating Performances Between Glymphatic System and Motor Symptoms and Levodopa Responsiveness of Parkinson Disease.

J Comput Assist Tomogr

January 2025

Department of Radiology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Shenzhen University, Health Science Center, Shenzhen Second People's Hospital, Shenzhen.

Background And Purpose: Parkinson disease (PD) is defined by its unique motor symptoms, where responsiveness to levodopa (L-DOPA) is fundamental for management. Recent research has highlighted a significant relationship between PD symptoms and glymphatic dysfunction. This study endeavors to clarify the connection between glymphatic system functionality and initial motor symptoms in PD, utilizing imaging biomarkers to determine its predictive capacity for L-DOPA responsiveness (LR).

Background: Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) loss in spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is accompanied by volume shifts between the intracranial compartments. This study investigated tricompartimental and longitudinal volume shifts after closure of a CSF leak.

Methods: Patients with SIH and suitable pre-therapeutic and post-therapeutic imaging for volumetric analysis were identified from our tertiary care center between 2020 and 2023.
