Background: Disproportionately enlarged subarachnoid space hydrocephalus (DESH) is one of the neuroradiological characteristics of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH), which makes statistical analyses of brain images difficult. This study aimed to develop and validate methods of accurate brain segmentation and spatial normalisation in patients with DESH by using the Computational Anatomy Toolbox (CAT12).

Methods: Two hundred ninety-eight iNPH patients with DESH and 25 healthy controls (HCs) who underwent cranial MRI were enrolled in this study.

Epilepsy, a neurological disorder characterised by recurrent seizures, poses significant challenges in diagnosis, treatment, and management. Understanding the underlying causes and identifying precise anatomical locations of epileptogenic foci are critical for effective management strategies, particularly in drug-resistant patients. Neuroimaging techniques, particularly magnetic resonance (MR), play a pivotal role in the evaluation of epilepsy patients, offering insights into structural abnormalities, epileptogenic lesions, and functional alterations within the brain.

Consciousness disturbance in patients with chronic kidney disease: Rare but potentially treatable complication. Clinical and neuroradiological review.

Behav Brain Res

December 2024

Radiology and Neuroradiology Unit, Department of Imaging, Radiation Therapy and Hematology, Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS, Largo A. Gemelli, 1, Rome 00168, Italy.

Article Synopsis
  • In patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing dialysis, brain complications like Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome and uremic encephalopathy can develop, with their potential reversibility depending on early detection and treatment.
  • Neurological symptoms can range widely from mild consciousness disturbances to coma, and imaging plays a crucial role in diagnosing the specific underlying issues.
  • Complications linked to dialysis include Dialysis Disequilibrium Syndrome and Osmotic Demyelination Syndrome, each showing unique imaging patterns, but accurate diagnosis often requires a detailed clinical history and lab results due to occasionally overlapping features.

Introduction: As detailed in the first part of this review, post-infectious vasculitides are a wide and complex category, including several clinical, microbiological and neuroradiological patterns. In order to raise the suspicion for diagnosis, the knowledge of two different neuroradiological issues is needed, i.e.
