A 52-year-old woman, previously treated for gastric cancer, began hemodialysis (HD) to treat the onset of severe acidemia. After her initial HD sessions, she suffered from a prolonged coma for approximately ten days. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed diffuse leukoencephalopathy, with increased apparent diffusion coefficient. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy showed a reduction of the N-acetylaspartate/creatine ratio. Her neuroimaging findings gradually resolved. Her transient cerebral white matter lesions were thought to be interstitial edema derived from dialysis disequilibrium syndrome (DDS), which might have been amplified by subclinical brain injury due to past chemotherapy. Her history of cancer chemotherapy may be a risk factor for an exacerbation of DDS.

Background: Cerebral small vessel disease exacerbates cognitive decline, yet the structural-functional coupling mechanisms in vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) remain unclear.
Methods: This study included 121 participants, with 68 individuals with VCI and 53 healthy controls. Participants underwent neuropsychological assessments and multimodal imaging.

Background: Acute necrotizing encephalopathy is a rare, clinically distinct subgroup of acute encephalopathy, which may be a complication of coronavirus disease 2019.
Case Presentation: A 22-year-old male of Han Chinese with a yellow complexion presented with fever, psychological and behavioral abnormalities, seizures, and coma. Cerebrospinal fluid tests indicated leukocytosis, high protein concentrations, and significantly elevated levels of neuron-specific enolase, interleukin-2, interleukin-6, and interleukin-8.

Adult leukoencephalopathy with axonal spheroids and pigmented glia is a rare neurological disease characterized by brain white matter demyelination, axonal edema, and glial cell pigmentation. The disease is associated with mutations in the gene encoding the colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor. Adult leukoencephalopathy with axonal spheroids and pigmented glia is characterized by cognitive and motor disorders, rapid steady progression, and an autosomal dominant inheritance.

Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage and acute glomerulonephritis characterize pulmonary-renal syndrome, in which anti-glomerular basement membrane antibodies (anti-GBM) and anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) are often assessed. The treatment is complex, requiring a multidisciplinary approach, based on immunosuppressant therapies, mechanical ventilation, plasma exchange (PLEX), and kidney replacement therapy. This clinical case describes a 7-year-old female hospitalized for edema, hypertension, and acute kidney failure.

Chimeric antigen receptor-engineered (CAR) T-cell therapy is an effective immunotherapy for aggressive hematologic cancers. However, it can lead to complications such as immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS), or complications related to the immunosuppressive status of these patients. The role of imaging in this context is essential to help in ICANS diagnosis and to rule out other potential diagnosis, such as central nervous system infections.
