Stroke-like migraine attacks after radiation therapy (SMART) syndrome —a case series and review
ConclusionOur extensive review favors MRI, CT, and prolonged EEG monitoring to rule out other differentials and showed that initiation of corticosteroid therapy and antiepileptic treatment were helpful in the resolution of symptoms and prevent recurrences. Therefore, future studies should be focused on early identification and management guidelines for SMART syndrome.

Sulfonylurea receptor 1 expression is variable in adult and pediatric brain tumors.
CONCLUSION: SUR1 is a putative therapeutic target to reduce neuroinflammation in adult and pediatric brain tumors. Inhibition of SUR1 may result in neuronal stabilization in glioblastoma, cerebral metastases, and posterior fossa ependymoma and reduced edema in medulloblastoma.

Headaches in brain tumor patients: primary or secondary?
CONCLUSION: Our literature review revealed that brain tumor headache uncommonly presents with classic brain tumor headache characteristics and often satisfies criteria for a primary headache category such as migraine or tension-type. Thus, clinicians may miss headaches due to brain tumors in following ICHD-3 criteria, and the distinction between primary and secondary headache disorders may not be so clear-cut.
