    Abstract Background: Primary intracranial synovial sarcomas (PrISS) are unusual dural based mesenchymal tumors seen most commonly in the supratentorial compartment. They can mimic a spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage or a high-grade glioma on imaging.
    Case description: A 31-year-old male presented with headache and right hemiparesis for 2 weeks. CT brain revealed a left frontal spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. PrISS revealed a heterogeneously ring enhancing solid cystic lesion with attachment to convexity dura. Intraoperatively, it mimicked a high-grade glioma. Histopathology report showed features of a synovial sarcoma, which was later confirmed with IHC. Classical SYT-SSX2 translocation was confirmed only on RTPCR after fluorescent
    Conclusion: PrISS is an unusual aggressive intracranial neoplasm that carries a worse prognosis when compared nonintracranial synovial sarcomas. Molecular cytogenetics (FISH and RTPCR) are essential for confirming the diagnosis, though FISH seems to have a lower sensitivity and can yield false negative results as was noted in this case.

    Abstract Spontaneous spinal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak presents with orthostatic headache and may lead to formation of subdural collection. Invasive magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography myelography is routinely used to detect these leaks. Noninvasive dynamic magnetic resonance neurography can also detect these leaks and confirm its resolution post treatment. It includes three-dimensional NerveView, a high-resolution short-tau inversion recovery sequence for better visualization of spinal nerves and leak sites. This article showcases the diagnostic and therapeutic journey of three patients with spontaneous spinal CSF leak all of whom were diagnosed with dynamic magnetic resonance neurography and treated successfully with autologous targeted epidural blood patch. In one case, epidural blood patch was repeated after 2 months for recurrence of the leak.

    Abstract Hyponatremia is the commonest electrolyte disturbance encountered in the neurological and neurosurgical intensive care units. It can present with signs and symptoms mimicking a neurological disease and can worsen the existing neurological deficits. Hyponatremia in neurological disorders is usually of the hypo-osmolar type caused either due to the Syndrome of Inappropriate Secretion of Anti Diuretic Hormone (SIADH) or Cerebral Salt Wasting Syndrome (CSWS). It is important to distinguish between these two disorders, as the treatment of the two differ to a large extent. In SIADH, the fluid intake is restricted, whereas in CSWS the treatment involves fluid and salt replacement.

    Abstract Filum terminale arteriovenous fistula (FTAVF) presenting as a cause of failed back surgery syndrome is a rare entity. We report a 48-year-old male patient who presented with clinical features of a conus medullaris/cauda equina lesion. He had upper and lower motor neuron signs in both the lower limbs with autonomic dysfunction. The patient was misdiagnosed and was operated twice earlier for lumbar canal stenosis and disc prolapse. After reviewing his clinical and radiological findings a diagnosis of FTAVF was made. He underwent surgery and there was a significant improvement in his neurological functions. We discuss the case and review the literature on FTAVF's.

    Abstract Background: Liquid biopsies have emerged as convenient alternative diagnostic methods to invasive biopsies, by evaluating disease-specific biomarkers and monitoring the disease risk noninvasively. Phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted in chromosome 10 (PTEN) is a potent tumor suppressor, and its deletion/mutations are common in gliomas.
    Objective: Evaluate the feasibility of non-invasive detection of PTEN and its downstream genes in serum exosomes of glioma patients.
    Materials and methods: PTEN, Yes-associated-protein 1 (YAP1), and lysyl oxidase (LOX) transcript expression were monitored through polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in serum exosomes and their paired tumor tissues. The impact of PTEN and its axis genes expression on the overall survival (OS) was monitored.
    Results: Out of the 106 glioma serum samples evaluated, PTEN was retained/lost in 65.4%/34.6% of the tumor samples while it was retained/lost in 67.1%/32.9% of their paired exosomal fractions. PTEN expression in both tissue and paired exosomal fractions was observed in 48.11% of the samples. Sanger sequencing detected three mutations (Chr10: 89720791(A>G), Chr10:89720749(C>T), and Chr10:89720850(A>G). Both PTEN-responsive downstream genes (YAP1) and LOX axis were upregulated in the PTEN-deficient samples. PTEN loss was associated with poor survival in the glioma patients (hazard ratio (HR) 0.68, confidence interval (CI): 0.35-1.31, P = 0.28). The OS of the exosomal PTEN cohort coincided with the tumor-tissue PTEN devoid group (HR 1.08, CI: 0.49-2.36, P = 0.85). While, old age yielded the worst prognosis; gender, location, and grade were not prognostic of OS in the multivariate analysis.
    Conclusions: PTEN and its responsive genes YAP1 and LOX can be detected in serum exosomes and can serve as essential tools for the non-invasive evaluation/identification of aggressive gliomas.

    Abstract Chronic lymphocytic inflammation with pontine perivascular enhancement responsive to steroids (CLIPPERS) is a recently described inflammatory disease of central nervous system with distinct clinical and radiological features. The etiopathogenesis of this rare entity remains to be understood. The histopathological findings closely resemble chronic inflammatory diseases like sarcoidosis and malignancies like lymphoma. With advancements in serology, immunopathology and radiology CLIPPERS is identified as a distinct entity that differs considerably in its clinical presentation, immunopathology, radiological findings and response to steroids. We describe a case that presented to us with progressive quadriparesis and lower cranial nerve deficits whose radiological and pathological findings were consistent with CLIPPERS. The patient had a good outcome with long term immunosuppression.
