Comparison of EPI DWI and STEAM DWI in Early Postoperative MRI Controls After Resection of Tumors of the Central Nervous System
ConclusionThe newly developed version of STEAM DWI with highly undersampled radial encodings is superior to EPI DWI in patients with postoperative pneumocephalus. (Source: Clinical Neuroradiology)

Location-specific ASPECTS does not improve Outcome Prediction in Large Vessel Occlusion compared to  Cumulative ASPECTS
ConclusionCumulative ASPECTS assessment in LVO remains a  stable and reliable predictor for clinical outcome and is not inferior to a weighted (location-specific) ASPECTS assessment. (Source: Clinical Neuroradiology)

Applicability of the Edinburgh CT Criteria for Lobar Intracerebral Hemorrhage Associated with Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy
ConclusionUsing the Boston MRI criteria as a  final assessment, we provided a new external confirmation of the radiological Edinburgh CT criteria, which are directly applicable in acute settings of spontaneous lobar ICH and further proposed an original 3‑set model considering finger-like projections, subarachnoid extension, and cortical in volvement that may achieve a high discrimination performance.

Endovascular Treatment of Intracranial Aneurysms Using a  Microcatheter Protection
ConclusionMCP is feasible and safe for coil embolization of intracranial aneurysms, in conjunction with multicatheter, balloon, or stenting techniques. MCP may have merit in small-sized or tortuous lesions not amenable to balloon or stent usage, often eliminating the need for stenting altogether. (Source: Clinical Neuroradiology)

Absent Stapedial Tendon: Imaging Features of an Underrecognized Entity
ConclusionThe most reliable indicator of stapedial muscle absence on temporal bone CT is the absence or hypoplasia of the pyramidal eminence and aperture. Importantly, most patients had congenital stapes footplate fixation confirmed intraoperatively with a  normal stapes footplate on CT, meaning the pyramidal eminence/aperture abnormality was the only preoperative imaging finding that could have suggested the footplate fixation.

Mechanical Thrombectomy for Pediatric Large Vessel Occlusions
ConclusionIn our meta-analysis, MT demonstrated a  promising safety and efficacy profile for pediatric patients, with consistently high efficacy outcomes and low complication rates. Our results support the utilization of MT in pediatric LVOs; however, prospective studies are still needed to further establish the role of pediatric MT as a first-li ne treatment strategy.
