Objective: To elucidate how spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) exerts its analgesic effects through regulating brain function in lumbar disc herniation (LDH) patients by utilizing resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI).
Methods: From September 2021 to September 2023, we enrolled LDH patients (LDH group, n=31) and age- and sex-matched healthy controls (HCs, n=28). LDH group underwent rs-fMRI at 2 distinct time points (TPs): prior to the initiation of SMT (TP1) and subsequent to the completion of the SMT sessions (TP2).

Arachnoid granulations have been known for centuries yet remain incompletely understood. While traditionally associated with cerebrospinal fluid transport, the precise mechanism remains uncertain. This manuscript reviews the literature on the anatomy, histology, and imaging findings of arachnoid granulations and their mimickers and anomalous variations.

Background: Critical cerebrospinal fluid hypovolemia (CCSFH) is a rare postcraniotomy condition in patients with acute supratentorial brain injury, often mistaken for intracranial hypertension. This article aims to enhance awareness of CCSFH by describing its clinical and radiological characteristics.
Methods: Between January 2019 and November 2023, 330 consecutive patients with acute critical brain injury underwent supratentorial craniotomy.
Cerebellar, Hippocampal, and Basal Nuclei Transient Edema with Restricted Diffusion (CHANTER) syndrome is a recently recognized distinct clinicoradiographic pattern of neurologic injury occurring most commonly following polysubstance or opioid abuse. Patients present acutely with unresponsiveness or coma. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging demonstrates key findings, including bilateral diffusion restriction in the cerebellar cortices and hippocampi and variable diffusion restriction in the basal ganglia.

Background: Space-occupying cerebellar infarction can be catastrophic, leading to brainstem compression, transtentorial herniation, and obstructive hydrocephalus. Herein, we investigated the association between the venous outflow pattern based on transverse sinus (TS) shape and the outcome of space-occupying cerebellar infarction.
Methods: Patients with space-occupying cerebellar infarctions were enrolled, and data on baseline demographics, clinical factors, and venous outflow patterns, including the type of TS were collected.

Introduction: Chondrosarcomas are cartilaginous tumors primarily known for metastasizing to the lungs and bones. Their spread to the central nervous system is infrequent.
Case Presentation: We present the case of a 32-year-old woman with a history of pelvic/sacral grade III chondrosarcoma (L4-S2; T3N0MX; Ki67; 30%), who underwent surgical resection and radiotherapy.
Spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) has been shown to significantly alleviate pain in patients with lumbar disc herniation (LDH), with its effects closely associated with brain function modulation. This study investigates the neural biomarkers linked to pain relief efficacy following a complete SMT treatment cycle in LDH patients. A total of 59 LDH patients were randomized into two groups: SMT treatment (Group 1, n = 28) and sham treatment (ST) (Group 2, n = 31).

This case report describes a patient who presented with devastating stroke-like symptoms secondary to a cystic brain lesion that was confirmed to be glioblastoma without significant symptomatology before her dramatic presentation. It further highlights the aggressive nature and the swift growth of the tumor in a short period of time. A 55-year-old female with no significant past medical history presented to the emergency department in a comatose state.

Introduction: Perinatal asphyxia is caused by a lack of oxygen to organ systems due to hypoxic or ischemic insult that occurs during labour and delivery. This may lead to multi-organ failure with brain involvement as the major organ of concern.
Case Report: We present a 19-day-old neonate referred to our centre with the complaint of inability to suck since birth and multiple seizures that started on the second day of life.

Introduction: Paradoxical brain herniation (PBH) represents a rare and potentially life-threatening complication observed in individuals following decompressive craniectomy. Its diagnosis necessitates a high level of suspicion, combined with clinical and imaging evidence, such as midline shift, herniation, and a decreased Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS). Given the rarity and severity of this condition, we conduct a comprehensive literature review to identify all documented predisposing factors, clinical presentations, and appropriate clinical management.

Introduction: Spinal cord ischemic reperfusion injury is characterized by an abrupt decline in neurological function and only a few cases have been published in literature. Herein, we present a white cord syndrome following anterior decompression cervical fusion.
Case Report: A 54-year-old Jewish male patient was diagnosed with disc herniation among the intervertebral discs at C2, C3, C4, C6, and C7, along with ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament, pressuring more to the right side of the spinal canal, ruling-out cervical myelopathy.

Background And Aims: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a rare neurological disorder in the pediatric population which is defined as an increase in intracranial pressure (ICP) without the presence of brain parenchymal lesions, hydrocephalus, or central nervous system infection. In this study, we have determined the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in IIH patients.
Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted using the electronic databases including Web of Sciences, Scopus, and Pubmed to identify suitable and relevant articles using keyword search methods.
