Objectives: To report the antenatal pictures of a fetus with multiple intracranial lipomas.

Methods: A 36-year-old primigravida, 33 weeks of gestation, was referred to our ultrasound laboratory due to sonographic suspicion of an intracranial hemorrhage.

Results: At 2D and 3D ultrasound imaging, three separated round-shaped hyperechoic intracranial masses compatible with multiple lipomas were documented. Absence of corpus callosum was associated. Sonographic findings were confirmed by antenatal and postnatal MRI.

Conclusions: Multiple intracranial lipomas in a fetus with absent corpus callosum have been infrequently described. Prognostic implications remain uncertain.

Background: This study aimed to develop an automated algorithm to noninvasively distinguish gliomas from other intracranial pathologies, preventing misdiagnosis and ensuring accurate analysis before further glioma assessment.

Methods: A cohort of 1280 patients with a variety of intracranial pathologies was included. It comprised 218 gliomas (mean age 54.

Recent strides in neurotechnology show potential to restore vision in individuals afflicted with blindness due to early visual pathway damage. As neuroprostheses mature and become available to a larger population, manual placement and evaluation of electrode designs becomes costly and impractical. An automatic method to optimize the implantation process of electrode arrays at large-scale is currently lacking.

Background: Radiation-induced sarcoma (RIS) is an exceptionally rare occurrence following radiation therapy, and manifestation usually occurs after a several-year latency period. Herein, the authors report the development of a radiation-induced osteosarcoma of the frontoparietal calvaria following treatment for an oligodendroglioma in an 84-year-old woman.

Observations: The patient had been diagnosed with a grade III anaplastic oligodendroglioma when she was 78 years old.
