Wernekink commissure syndrome is a rare midbrain syndrome with bilateral cerebellar dysfunction,eye movement disorder,and palatal myoclonus.Few cases of this syndrome have been reported in China,let alone those combined with hallucinations and involuntary groping.This paper reports the diagnosis and treatment of a case of Wernekink commissure syndrome with hallucinations and involuntary groping,aiming to enrich the knowledge about this disease for clinicians.

Background: Individuals with corpus callosum dysgenesis (CCD) lack the clear disconnection syndrome that is characteristic of individuals in whom the corpus callosum has been surgically severed. One potential explanation for this paradox is that the anterior commissure undergoes neuroplastic remodeling in CCD to improve interhemispheric communication between the brain hemispheres.
Methods: A cohort of sixteen individuals with CCD (and sixteen sex and age-matched neurotypical controls) underwent multi-shell diffusion magnetic resonance high-field imaging (dMRI) at 7-Tesla to assess the anatomy of the anterior commissure for evidence of neuroplasticity.

Background: Mitral annular calcification with valve dysfunction remains a challenging syndrome. Operative risk is high, and available transcatheter therapies are limited.
Methods: This study describes our initial experience with a novel procedure to address large mitral annuli when no surgical or trial-based transcatheter mitral valve replacement device is available.

Platypnea-orthodeoxia syndrome (POS) is characterized by dyspnea due to a marked fall in blood oxygen saturation while assuming standing or sitting positions. It is a rare condition with an unknown prevalence. The triggering role may remain unclear in a considerable number of patients.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores how MVN GABAergic neurons help restore balance during acute peripheral vestibular dysfunction, aiming to understand their monosynaptic inputs.
- Researchers used a modified rabies virus and VGAT-IRES-Cre mice to identify the connections of these neurons, finding that 60 different nuclei primarily from the cerebellum and medulla project to them.
- The findings highlight specific nuclei that contribute densely or moderately to MVN GABAergic neurons, emphasizing their regulatory roles and potential implications for developing treatment strategies for vestibular disorders.*

Article Synopsis
- * Researchers conducted a retrospective analysis of MRI data from 34 patients who underwent the procedure, identifying key neuroimaging features that correlate with positive surgical outcomes.
- * Significant predictors for favorable results were found, including the Evans index and DESH score, leading to the creation of a model that helps predict surgery outcomes, enhancing patient selection.
