Cerebral ischemic complications after pituitary surgery are not frequently reported. Multiple mechanisms have been proposed, including vasospasm, and delayed cerebral ischemia resulting from postoperative subarachnoid bleeding. Given the unknown etiology of vasospasm following these situations, little is known about its prevention. Through a case report and bibliographic review, the authors warn about the importance of recognizing key signs postoperatively that could indicate increased risk for cerebral vasospasm and must be recognized in a timely manner, with appropriate treatment strategies implemented once these symptoms present.

Clinical and neuroimaging characteristics of diabetic striatopathy: a case series report.
Front Endocrinol (Lausanne)
December 2024
Department of Neurology, First Medical Center of Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) General Hospital, Beijing, China.
Background: Diabetic striatopathy (DS) is a rare disorder characterized by clinical manifestations of hemichorea, non-ketotic hyperglycemia, and high signal on T1-weighted MRI or high density on CT scan in basal ganglia, typically associated with poor glycemic control.
Objective: This study aimed to analyze clinical characteristics of patients with diabetic striatopathy to raise awareness amongst physicians, especially endocrinologists, about this rare neurological manifestation in patients with diabetes.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the data on clinical presentations, laboratory workups, and cranial CT and MRI of six patients with DS who were admitted to our hospital from October 2013 to June 2022.

Non-ketotic hyperglycaemia (NKH)-induced hemichorea-hemiballismus (HC-HB) is an infrequent reversible condition observed in individuals with poorly controlled diabetes. In this report, we present a case of NKH-induced HC-HB exhibiting distinctive morphological and functional alterations on conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), and H magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), followed by subsequent monitoring. A 70-year-old male with a 20-year history of diabetes presented with severe unilateral involuntary movement.

Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to investigate changes in cerebral blood flow (CBF) in patients with unilateral internal carotid artery occlusion (ICAO) using advanced MRI techniques, specifically focused on global and regional differences.
- The research involved 20 patients with ICAO compared to matched controls, measuring CBF in various brain regions and found significant reductions in CBF on the occluded side across multiple measurements.
- Results indicated that CBF was notably lower in ICAO patients, particularly at a shorter post-labeling delay (PLD 1.5 s), compared to controls and also showed decreased perfusion in many brain regions when compared to the healthy side.

Existing therapeutic approaches fail to alter disease progression, demonstrating the need for novel approaches in PD.

Article Synopsis
- Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is used to treat motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD), but how it works in the brain is still debated.
- Researchers studied the effects of DBS on brain activity in female hemi-parkinsonian rats using advanced imaging techniques to pinpoint which neural targets are influenced.
- Their findings showed that the effectiveness of DBS depends on the pulse rate used and that specific brain regions, particularly the globus pallidus (GP) and caudate putamen (CPu), play a crucial role in alleviating symptoms, unlike the substantia nigra pars reticulata (SNr).
