Traumatic brain injury is one of the most common causes of morbidity and mortality and significantly impacts the patients' quality of life and socioeconomic status. It can be classified into primary and secondary injuries. Primary injury occurs at the time of the initial head trauma, such as skull fracture, extra-axial hemorrhage, brain contusion, and diffuse axonal injury. Secondary injury develops later as complications such as diffuse cerebral edema, brain herniation, and chronic traumatic encephalopathy. This article describes the indication for imaging, imaging modalities, recommended imaging protocols, and imaging findings of primary and secondary injuries, including pitfalls of each pathology.

Periventricular Nodular Heterotopias Induced-Seizures in an Adolescent.
Cureus
December 2024
Pediatrics, Unidade Local de Saúde do Algarve-Hospital de Faro, Faro, PRT.
A female adolescent with no relevant past history was admitted to the Pediatric Emergency Department with two episodes of seizures without trauma, fever, or other symptoms. Head-MRI revealed bilateral subependymal nodular irregularities lining the lateral ventricles, with similar signal evolution to grey matter, confirming the diagnosis of periventricular nodular heterotopias (PVNH). Genetic testing revealed a Filamin A ( variant; family studies were negative.

Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is primarily driven by inflammatory processes within the cochlea, where noise exposure triggers the activation of the NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome, leading to an inflammatory cascade. The interaction between increased NLRP3 expression and NF-κB activity can further amplify cochlear inflammation. Our findings reveal that (R)-PFI-2 hydrochloride, a selective inhibitor of the SETD7 enzyme, effectively inhibits the activation of the cochlear NF-κB pathway, suppresses the release of pro-inflammatory factors, and prevents inflammasome assembly.

PLoS One

Department of Intensive Care, Ramsay Générale de Santé, Hôpital privé de la Loire, Saint Etienne, France.
Real-time monitoring of intracranial pressure (ICP) is a routine part of neurocritical care in the management of brain injury. While mainly used to detect episodes of intracranial hypertension, the ICP signal is also indicative of the volume-pressure relationship within the cerebrospinal system, often referred to as intracranial compliance (ICC). Several ICP signal descriptors have been proposed in the literature as surrogates of ICC, but the possibilities of combining these are still unexplored.

Midface fractures present a clinical challenge in otorhinolaryngology due to their often complex injury pattern and nonspecific symptoms. Precise diagnostics, including differentiated imaging procedures, are required. Interdisciplinary consultation between otorhinolaryngology, maxillofacial surgery, neurosurgery, and ophthalmology is often necessary.

University Hospital of Patras, Patras, Greece.
Postoperative pseudomeningocele is a rare, but still existing, complication after spinal surgeries. It may be asymptomatic or presented with back pain, radicular pain or headaches. Many pseudomeningoceles resolve spontaneously, others require revision surgery with dural repair.
