    Abstract Introduction: Intracranial cysts and cyst-like intracranial lesions are common findings on neuroimaging with a wide range of etiologies. Oftentimes, cystic intracranial lesions are benign but in some parts of the world, infectious etiologies for cystic lesions in the brain are quite common. Prompt identification of the cause of a cystic brain lesion is paramount in determining appropriate treatment if indicated.
    Areas covered: In this narrative review article, the authors present a comprehensive description of cystic lesions of infectious or inflammatory etiology. Imaging descriptions are provided for each type of cystic lesion as well as several representative images.
    Expert opinion: The majority of diagnoses may be identified by CT and MR imaging. Yet some pathologies are still unable to be determined through standard imaging techniques and biopsy remains necessary for definitive diagnosis in some cases. Advanced neuroimaging such as metabolic/nuclear imaging and advanced MR hold promise with improved diagnostics but are not often available in geographic regions where these illnesses are endemic.

    Abstract Objective: Previous research indicates an increased risk of cerebral aneurysm formation in adults living with human immunodeficiency virus (ALWH), however there are few longitudinal studies on the risk factors for and outcomes of cerebral aneurysms in this population. We aim to describe the characteristics and evolution of cerebral aneurysms in a large cohort of ALWH.
    Materials and methods: A chart review was completed for all adults evaluated at an urban, safety-net U.S. hospital between January 1, 2000, and October 22, 2021, with history of both HIV and at least one cerebral aneurysm.
    Results: A total of 82 cerebral aneurysms were identified amongst 50 patients (52% female sex). Forty-six percent of patients with a nadir CD4 count less than 200 cells/mm
    Conclusions: Among ALWH, lower CD4 nadir, higher zenith viral load, and inconsistent ART use may contribute to aneurysm formation or growth. Further studies are needed to more thoroughly characterize the association between immunologic status and cerebral aneurysm formation.

    Abstract Entering the third year into the pandemic, overwhelming evidence demonstrates that Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection is a systemic illness, often with involvement of the central nervous system. Multiple mechanisms may underlie the development of neurologic manifestations of illness, including hypoxia, systemic illness, hypercoagulability, endothelial dysfunction, general critical illness, inflammatory response, and neurotropism of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-Co-V2) virus. COVID-19 infection is associated with neurologic involvement in all stages; acute infection, subacute/post-infection, and growing evidence also suggests during a chronic phase, the post-acute sequalae of COVID-19 (PASC). With over 20,000 published articles on COVID and the brain at the time of writing, it is virtually impossible to present an unbiased comprehensive review of how SARS-Co-V2 impacts the nervous system. In this review, we will present an overview of common neurologic manifestations, in particular focusing on the cerebrovascular complications, and proposed pathophysiology.

    Abstract Introduction: Congenital and developmental intracranial cysts represent a large heterogenous group with varied presentations and etiologies. They can range from normal variants to pathologic lesions often associated with known congenital syndromes or acquired insults. While some are incidentally found, others are symptomatic or may become symptomatic over time. The preferred type of neuroimaging for timely diagnosis helps determine appropriate management and treatment, if indicated.
    Areas covered: In this narrative review article, authors present a comprehensive description of developmental cystic lesions. Imaging descriptions are provided for each type of cystic lesion as well as several representative images.
    Expert opinion: As advanced neuroimaging techniques become more ubiquitous in clinical use, more light may be shed on the natural history of certain intracranial cystic lesions throughout the lifespan. This includes prenatal imaging for early identification and prognostication to surveillance imaging into advanced age to ascertain associations of certain cystic lesions with age-related cognitive dysfunction.

    Abstract Although minor neurologic complications of coronavirus disease 2019 are common, life-threatening neurologic emergencies are rare. Acute ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage, venous sinus thrombosis, seizures, and posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome have been described. Hospitals have seen significant changes in the volume of patients presenting with neurologic emergencies. We review what has thus far been published about the intersection of coronavirus disease 2019 and neurologic emergencies with particular attention to cerebrovascular disease and seizure. Considerations in managing the acute presentations of these conditions in the context of the pandemic can serve as a model for management of other neurologic emergencies.
