Retropharyngeal effusion secondary to calcific tendinitis of the longus colli muscle: A case report and brief review of the literature.
Radiol Case Rep

Department of Neuroradiology, Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute, West Virginia University, Morgantown, WV, USA.
Calcification or ossification of the longus colli tendon is a rare and often underdiagnosed cause of acute neck pain, typically seen in middle-aged adults, especially women. This condition results from the deposition of calcium hydroxyapatite crystals in the tendon, causing an inflammatory or granulomatous response. Common symptoms include neck pain, painful swallowing, and fever.

JCEM Case Rep
February 2025
Department of Endocrine Neoplasia and Hormonal Disorders, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer, Houston, TX 77030, USA.
A 65-year-old patient presented with recurrent, locally advanced poorly differentiated thyroid cancer despite 2 neck surgeries, and with newly diagnosed brain and skull base metastases. He was treated with palliative stereotactic radiosurgery to the brain and skull base lesions. Thereafter, as no targetable genetic alteration was identified and antiangiogenic multikinase inhibitors were deemed at high risk of hemorrhagic complications, off-label systemic therapies were considered.

Rationale And Objectives: Countries worldwide have selected, adopted, adapted, and translated evidence-based imaging referral guidelines from radiology professional bodies. This study establishes the concordance of three imaging referral guidelines from the ACR, ESR, and RCR, and examines the emergency department cervical spine imaging appropriateness rates.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective analysis of the electronic medical records was performed between October 1st to December 31st, 2022, evaluating 452 radiography and 153 CT imaging referrals.
Somatic DNA Variants in Epilepsy Surgery Brain Samples from Patients with Lesional Epilepsy.

Epilepsy affects 50 million people worldwide and is drug-resistant in approximately one-third of cases. Even when a structural lesion is identified as the epileptogenic focus, understanding the underlying genetic causes is crucial to guide both counseling and treatment decisions. Both somatic and germline DNA variants may contribute to the lesion itself and/or influence the severity of symptoms.

Objective: The complex mix of factors, including hemodynamic forces and wall remodeling mechanisms, that drive intracranial aneurysm growth is unclear. This study focuses on the specific regions within aneurysm walls where growth occurs and their relationship to the prevalent hemodynamic conditions to reveal critical mechanisms leading to enlargement.
Methods: The authors examined hemodynamic models of 67 longitudinally followed aneurysms, identifying 88 growth regions.
