We present a case of a male in his early 50s assessed in the emergency department with a seemingly clear alcohol history but with classic symptoms of Wernicke's encephalopathy (WE): disorientation, gait ataxia and vertical nystagmus. He also had significant bilateral hearing loss and profound anterograde amnesia. Neuroimaging revealed hallmark signs of WE, including symmetrical T2/fluid-attenuated inversion recovery hyperintensity in the medial thalami.

High-Field-Blinded Assessment of Portable Ultra-Low-Field Brain MRI for Multiple Sclerosis.

J Neuroimaging

January 2025

Translational Neuroradiology Section, National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland, USA.

Background And Purpose: MRI is crucial for multiple sclerosis (MS), but the relative value of portable ultra-low field MRI (pULF-MRI), a technology that holds promise for extending access to MRI, is unknown. We assessed white matter lesion (WML) detection on pULF-MRI compared to high-field MRI (HF-MRI), focusing on blinded assessments, assessor self-training, and multiplanar acquisitions.

Methods: Fifty-five adults with MS underwent pULF-MRI following their HF-MRI.

Standardisation of the radiological definition of supramaximal resection in glioblastoma.

J Clin Neurosci

January 2025

Department of Neurosurgery, The Royal Melbourne Hospital, Victoria, Australia; Department of Surgery, The University of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Electronic address:

Glioblastoma remains the most common and lethal primary malignant brain tumour, with high rates of recurrence and progression despite gross-total resection of the contrast-enhancing region based on T1-weighted MRI. There has been growing interest in exploring "supramaximal" resections that extend beyond contrast-enhancing borders, with initial retrospective data suggesting survival benefit, but there is currently no consensus definition. In this systematic review, we explore the evolution of supramaximal resection in glioblastoma, dissect the incongruencies in the literature regarding its definition, qualitatively appraise each definition and discuss the results of various studies that have explored its impacts on patient outcomes.

Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutant gliomas are classified as astrocytoma or oligodendroglioma based on the recent application of mutation, mutation, and 1p/19q co-deletion. Astrocytomas classically show and mutations, whereas oligodendrogliomas are defined by 1p/19q co-deletion. However, there are reports of gliomas that harbor both astrocytoma and oligodendroglioma morphologically and molecularly.

Article Synopsis
  • CHANTER syndrome is a newly identified neurological condition often triggered by polysubstance or opioid abuse, presenting with acute unresponsiveness or coma.
  • Patients typically show specific MRI findings, particularly restricted diffusion in the cerebellar cortices, hippocampi, and variable changes in the basal ganglia, which may lead to dangerous complications like hydrocephalus.
  • A case study of a 37-year-old man who exhibited these symptoms demonstrated the importance of recognizing CHANTER features early; he improved after treatment and rehabilitation, with follow-up MRIs showing significant recovery.
