A single case report: high-grade prostate adenocarcinoma (Gleason 5+5=10) debuted with cervical lymph node skip metastases and extensive central venous thrombosis — no pelvic or bone involvement — despite only a PI-RADS 3 mpMRI lesion. Unexplained thrombosis in elderly men shoul…
CTA is the go-to first-line test for reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) at 77% of French academic centers, but confirmatory and follow-up strategies vary widely. 85% document reversibility with long-term imaging; authors propose a pragmatic pathway pending pros…
In 10 patients with local CSF-venous fistula (CVF) recurrence after transvenous embolization (TVE), two failure mechanisms emerged: Onyx cast margin leakage (external/basivertebral veins) and incomplete internal epidural venous plexus occlusion — findings that may guide technica…
In 2,652 CT exams (4.1% fracture prevalence), Aidoc AI detected acute cervical spine fractures with sensitivity 89.1% vs 94.5% for radiologists; combined sensitivity/specificity favored radiologists (p=0.02). Single-center retrospective study.
