ACR Appropriateness Criteria® Plexopathy: 2021 Update.
J Am Coll Radiol
November 2021
Specialty Chair, Atlanta VA Health Care System and Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia.
Plexopathy may be caused by diverse pathologies, including trauma, nerve entrapment, neoplasm, inflammation, infection, autoimmune disease, hereditary disease, and idiopathic etiologies. For patients presenting with brachial or lumbosacral plexopathy, dedicated plexus MRI is the most appropriate initial imaging modality for all clinical scenarios and can identify processes both intrinsic and extrinsic to the nerves. Other imaging tests may be appropriate for initial imaging depending on the clinical scenario.

Background: Patients who survive aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) are at risk for delayed neurological deficits (DND) and cerebral infarction. In this exploratory cohort comparison analysis, we compared in-hospital outcomes of aSAH patients administered a low-dose intravenous heparin (LDIVH) infusion (12 U/kg/h) vs those administered standard subcutaneous heparin (SQH) prophylaxis for deep vein thrombosis (DVT; 5000 U, 3 × daily).
Objective: To assess the safety and efficacy of LDIVH in aSAH patients.
Minimally Invasive Surgery for Spontaneous Cerebellar Hemorrhage: A Multicenter Study.

Background: Spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) of the cerebellum can be life threatening because of mass effect on the brainstem and fourth ventricle. Suboccipital craniectomy is currently the treatment of choice for cerebellar ICH evacuation. Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is currently being investigated for the treatment of supratentorial ICH.

Specialty Chair, Brigham & Women's Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts.
Inflammatory sacroiliitis or the seronegative axial spondyloarthropathies often presents as back pain or sacroiliac joint pain of more than 3-month duration with inflammatory symptoms and typically in patients younger than 45 years of age. Imaging plays an important role in diagnosis and disease monitoring. This article addresses the appropriate sequence of initial imaging for evaluation of a suspected spondyloarthropathy, the imaging follow-up of treatment response and the special considerations for imaging of trauma in patients with ankylosis of the spine.

Specialty Chair, Brigham & Women's Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts.
Infection of the musculoskeletal system is a common clinical problem. Differentiating soft tissue from osseous infection often determines the appropriate clinical therapeutic course. Radiographs are the recommend initial imaging examination, and although often not diagnostic in acute osteomyelitis, can provide anatomic evaluation and alternative diagnoses influencing subsequent imaging selection and interpretation.
