Intracranial gliosis has no typical clinical signals or imaging characteristics. Therefore, it can be easily misdiagnosed as neoplasm. Hereby, we report a unique case of gliosis that grew outward from the surface of the brain. MRI depicted its signal and enhancement pattern similar to the cerebral gray matter. The diagnosis was confirmed by pathology and immunohistochemistry. Although it was difficult to reach a diagnosis, correlating its origin, growing pattern and MR features and knowing that gliosis can present this way may help in differentiating it from other diseases.

Purpose: Accurate detection and resection of the epileptogenic zone (EZ) in patients with long-term epilepsy-associated tumors (LEATs) are significantly correlated with favorable seizure prognosis. However, the relationship between tumors and the EZ remains unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the spatial relationship between LEATs and the EZ, as well as the electrophysiological features of LEATs.

Purpose: Recent artificial intelligence algorithms aided intraoperative decision-making via stimulated Raman histology (SRH) during craniotomy. This study assesses deep learning algorithms for rapid intraoperative diagnosis from SRH images in small stereotactic-guided brain biopsies. It defines a minimum tissue sample size threshold to ensure diagnostic accuracy.

Department of Neurosurgery, Strasbourg University Hospitals, Strasbourg, France.
Background: Superficial siderosis (SS) of the central nervous system is a rare disease characterized by deposition of hemosiderin along the leptomeninges due to chronic or recurrent bleeding into the subarachnoid space. The association of unruptured intracranial aneurysm (IA) and cortical SS is quite rare.
Methods: A systematic literature review to assess possible commonalities and/or differences of previous reported cases was undertaken.

Aim: To assess the necessity of neuroimaging in patients with neurological or atypical findings of normal tension glaucoma (NTG) who do not exhibit typical glaucoma manifestations.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 90 atypical NTG patients who underwent cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) due to atypical symptoms. The demographic characteristics, clinical parameters, and radiological findings were recorded.
