Objectives: To evaluate CT imaging findings in symptomatic patients with and without revision surgery (RS) after reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA).
Materials And Methods: In this retrospective study, two radiologists assessed CT imaging findings in symptomatic patients with RSA over 5 years, including material fracture and loosening of the peg, baseplate, screws, and humeral stem, screw positioning, prosthesis dislocation, glenoid notching, fractures, and deltoid muscle quality. The primary outcome parameter was RS. Patients were assigned Group 1 (RS) or Group 2 (No RS).
Results: Ninety-nine patients (mean age 70.4 ± 10.3 years, 61 females) met the inclusion criteria. Fifty-two patients (29 females) received RS after 34.0 ± 38.3 months. The only CT imaging finding significantly associated with RS was prosthesis dislocation (P = .007, odds ratio (OR) 10.95, 95% CI 1.34-89.24). All other evaluated CT imaging findings were not associated with RS. Yet, loosening of the peg (30% vs. 16%), baseplate (15% vs. 6%), and superior screw (18% vs. 7%) and periprosthetic humeral fractures (29% vs. 13%)-as common reasons for RS-were more frequent in patients with RS than in those without, however not reaching significance (P ≥ .11). The large majority of patients had glenoid notching (79% vs. 94%), irrespective of RS.
Conclusion: In this cohort of symptomatic patients after RSA, prosthesis dislocation was the only CT imaging finding associated with RS. Besides, there was a trend with higher numbers of loosening of the peg, baseplate, and superior screw, as well as periprosthetic humeral fractures in patients with RS, though not reaching significance.

Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a rare, atypical parkinsonism, characterized by the presence of intracerebral tau protein aggregates and determined by a wide spectrum of clinical features. The definitive diagnosis is postmortem and is identified through the presence of neuronal death, gliosis, and aggregates of the tau protein presented in the form of neurofibrillary tangles (MNF) with a globose appearance in regions such as the subthalamic nucleus, the substantia nigra, and the globus pallidus The findings in ancillary imaging studies, as well as fluids biomarkers, are not sufficient to support diagnosis of PSP but are used to rule out similar pathologies because there are still no specific or validated biomarkers for this disease. The current treatment of PSP is focused on reducing symptoms, although emerging therapies seek to counteract its pathophysiological mechanisms.

Background: The presence of significant tortuosity in access routes to aneurysms can interfere with catheter guidance and manipulation and significantly impact treatment strategies.
Observations: In this report, the authors combined intentional staged aneurysm embolization with the construction of a new direct access route, which they call a "highway bypass," for a symptomatic posterior circulation cerebral aneurysm that was difficult to access with a catheter. Notably, the highway bypass is used for catheter passage, and technical tips should be considered.

Background: External ventricular drains (EVDs) provide an invaluable diagnostic method for accessing cerebrospinal fluid and therapeutically treating elevated intracranial pressure. Although complications including hemorrhage and infection have been well documented, the formation of iatrogenic pseudoaneurysms following EVD placement has rarely been reported. The authors present a case of this exceedingly rare complication of iatrogenic pseudoaneurysm formation following EVD placement.

Background: A 71-year-old male presented with weakness of the right upper limb and headache for the past 3 months. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with contrast showed a left frontal space-occupying lesion, suggestive of a high-grade malignancy. Awake craniotomy with complete excision of the lesion was performed under immunofluorescence guidance.
