Posterior fossa tumors in children: Radiological tips & tricks in the age of genomic tumor classification and advance MR technology
The objective is to propose a global method relying on the combined analysis of radiological, clinical and epidemiological criteria, (taking into account the child’s age and the topography of the lesion) in order to improve our histological approach in imaging, helping the management and approach for surgeons in providing information to the patients’ parents. Infratentorial tumors are the most frequent in children, representing mainly medulloblastoma, pilocytic astrocytoma and brainstem glioma. Pre-surgical identification of the tumor type and its aggressiveness could be improved by the combined analysis of key imaging...

Evaluation of Frequency-Selective Non-Linear Blending Technique on Brain CT in Postoperative Children with Moyamoya disease
Conclusion: This study showed that the BC technique improved CNR and maintained image quality. This technique may also be used to identify ischemic brain changes in postoperative MMD patients by improving the CNR of the infarct lesion. (Source: Journal of Neuroradiology)

Central Nervous System involvement in tuberculosis: an MRI study considering differences between patients with and without Human Immunodeficiency Virus 1 infection
Conclusions Stroke involving the basal ganglia best differentiates CNSTB patients who are HIV+ from those HIV-. This finding was not correlated with meningeal enhancement suggesting that small arteries involvement might precede it. Therefore, we think that HIV+ patients with a new onset of stroke should be evaluated for CNSTB. Follow-up MRI should also be planned since meningeal enhancement might appear in later stages of the disease. (Source: Journal of Neuroradiology)

Patient and aneurysm factors associated with aneurysm rupture in the population of the ARETA study
Conclusions: The most important patient factors associated with IA rupture are smoking and EBP. Given that size is a well-identified aneurysm factor, narrow neck also seems to be associated with aneurysm rupture. Further studies are needed to confirm this factor and determine underlying mechanisms. (Source: Journal of Neuroradiology)
