Potentially Reversible and Recognizable Acute Encephalopathic Syndromes: Disease Categorization and MRI Appearances ADULT BRAIN
SUMMARY: "Encephalopathy" is a vague term that encompasses varying definitions, often with a nonspecific clinical presentation and numerous possible pathophysiologic causes. Hence, MR imaging plays a crucial role in the early diagnosis and treatment by identifying imaging patterns when there is limited clinical history in such patients with acute encephalopathy. The aim of this review was to aid in remembrance of etiologies of potentially reversible acute encephalopathic syndromes on MR imaging. The differential includes vascular (reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome, transient global amnesia, disseminated intrava...

Surgical salvage of recurrent vestibular schwannoma following prior stereotactic radiosurgery
ConclusionMicrosurgical salvage of VS following primary radiation therapy is challenging. Less‐than‐complete resection is required in a greater percentage of patients to preserve facial nerve integrity and prevent neurological complications. Long‐term follow‐up is needed to determine the risk of delayed progression following incomplete tumor removal. Level of EvidenceLevel 3. Laryngoscope, 2016

Proton therapy for reirradiation of progressive or recurrent chordoma.
CONCLUSIONS: Full-dose proton reirradiation provided encouraging initial disease control and overall survival for patients with recurrent or progressive chordoma, although additional toxicities may develop with longer follow-up times. PMID: 24267972 [PubMed - in process]
