Traumatic subdural hematomas (SDHs) in the posterior fossa in conjunction with cervical spinal hematomas are rare entities. In this case, we present a 22-year old man who presented to our institution with ligamentous injury at the cervicomedullary junction, associated with posterior fossa SDH not discovered initially, who on serial computed tomography scans was found to have symptomatic obstructive hydrocephalus and was successfully treated with SDH evacuation and stabilization of the cervicomedullary junction with instrumentation.

Background: The diagnosis of intracranial extraosseous Ewing's sarcoma (EES) poses challenges due to the absence of specific clinical and imaging features prior to surgery. It is crucial to differentiate the tumor from other small round cell malignancies postoperatively.
Observations: A 7-year-old patient was admitted to the authors' hospital due to the in situ recurrence of a posterior fossa tumor more than 1 month after the initial surgery for headache.

Objectives: To clarify the prenatal magnetic resonance (MR) imaging characteristics of fetal intracranial haemorrhages (ICHs) in a large cohort and correlate them with birth outcomes.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed MR images of fetuses with ICH on screening ultrasound (US) on picture archiving communication system (PACS) servers within a nearly ten-year period from two medical tertiary centres. The indications, main abnormal findings and coexistent anomalies were recorded by two experienced radiologists with census readings.

Ependymoma is the third most common brain tumour of childhood and historically has posed a major challenge to both pediatric and adult neuro-oncologists. Ependymoma can occur anywhere in the central nervous system throughout the entire age spectrum. Treatment options have been limited to surgery and radiation, and outcomes have been widely disparate across studies.

Purpose And Background: The trigeminal artery is a rare anatomical variant, representing an embryonic vestige of the anastomosis between the internal carotid artery and the posterior circulator system, that can be asymptomatic or could have vast clinical manifestations produced by insufficient flow or by vascular nervous conflicts. This study is an anatomical presentation of 3 trigeminal artery cases observed at Medimar Imagistic Services Constanta.
Methods: The 3 trigeminal artery cases were discovered on a 860 magnetic resonance angiographies (0.

Objective: To apply a network medicine-based approach to analyze the phenome of the prenatal fetal MRI and biometric findings in the Chiari II malformation (CM II) to detect specific patterns and co-occurrences.
Method: A single-center retrospective review of fetal MRI scans obtained in fetuses with CM II was performed. Co-occurrence analysis was utilized to generate a phenotypic comorbidity matrix and visualized by Gephi software.
