The authors report the incidental finding of a dilated cisterna magna with an abnormal configuration to the falx in a newborn infant with Marfan syndrome who was recruited to a research study involving whole body MRI. To our knowledge, dilation of the cisterna magna has not previously been reported in patients with Marfan syndrome. Potential implications for antenatal diagnosis, the ethics of recruiting healthy volunteers for research and directions for future work are discussed.

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a prevalent medical complication in pregnancy that is rapidly escalating worldwide, with epidemic implications. This systematic review aims to identify fetal brain changes using neurosonography and pinpoint potential markers for the early diagnosis of GDM. We conducted a literature search from 6 January 2013 to 4 September 2024 to identify studies examining fetal brain development using ultrasound in pregnancies affected by GDM compared to uncomplicated pregnancies.

The glymphatic system regulates cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) transport and brain waste clearance. Focused ultrasound combined with microbubbles (FUSMB) has shown feasibility for manipulating glymphatic transport, yet its mechanisms remain poorly understood. In this work, we used in vivo two-photon microscopy to reveal how FUSMB manipulates the CSF tracer transport in the mouse brain.

Background: Fetal dural venous sinus thrombosis is an uncommon disorder in which a blood clot forms in the developing fetus's dural venous sinuses. A detailed ultrasound examination, including neurosonography, and color Doppler are usually used to identify it, and fetal brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used to confirm the diagnosis. Although few case reports exist, the incidence of fetal occurrence remains unknown.

Impact of infusion conditions and anesthesia on CSF tracer dynamics in mouse brain.
bioRxiv
January 2025
Department of Biomedical Engineering, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio, USA.
Tracer imaging has been instrumental in mapping the brain's solute transport pathways facilitated by cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow. However, the impact of tracer infusion parameters on CSF flow remains incompletely understood. This study evaluated the influence of infusion location, rate, and anesthetic regimens on tracer transport using dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI with Gd-DTPA as a CSF tracer.
