Purpose: Studies focused on the effects of sellar and/or perisellar (S/PS) meningiomas on pituitary function are scarce. The primary objective of the present study was to determinate the effects that S/PS meningiomas and their treatments have on pituitary function. Also, we described the clinical characteristics and therapeutic outcomes of the cohort of adult Spanish patients.

Purpose: To describe a case in which a right replaced posterior cerebral artery (PCA) was associated with an ipsilateral superior cerebellar artery (SCA) type persistent trigeminal artery (PTA) variant.

Methods: A 53-year-old man who had been diagnosed with chronic dissection of the left vertebral artery (VA) 4 months previously underwent follow-up magnetic resonance (MR) angiography using a 3-Tesla scanner.

Results: MR angiography showed a slightly dilated left VA at the terminal segment without interval change.

Introduction: Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome (KTS) is a rare congenital condition characterized by vascular malformations, bone abnormalities, and limb overgrowth. The genetic basis of KTS is not fully understood, and the diagnosis relies on clinical features. Its clinical spectrum includes several neurosurgical diagnoses, such as cavernous hemangiomas, arteriovenous fistulas, and Chiari I malformation.

February 2025

Department of Neurosurgery, Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, Changsha, China.

This study aimed to develop an automatic segmentation method for brainstem fiber bundles. We utilized the brainstem as a seed region for probabilistic tractography based on multishell, multitissue constrained spherical deconvolution in 40 subjects from the Human Connectome Project (HCP). All tractography data were registered into a common space to construct a brainstem fiber cluster atlas.

Purpose: Familial cerebral cavernous malformation syndrome (FCCM) is characterized by multiple hemorrhagic lesions and is sometimes mistaken for cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA).

Methods: We compared clinical and radiologic characteristics in patients with definite (N = 32) and presumed FCCM (n = 76) to patients with definite (N = 29) and probable CAA (N = 21).

Results: Patients with CAA were older (78.
