Abstract	Introduction: We describe the first case of acute flaccid myelitis (AFM) related to enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) infection in Belgium. The clinical and radiological presentation of AFM associated with EV-D68 although well described currently remains a challenging diagnosis. Through this interesting clinical case, we aimed to review the differential diagnosis of acute flaccid palsy in a child and discuss the specific point of interest related to AFM. Case presentation: We present the case of a 4-year-old girl with a torticollis associated with an acute palsy of the right upper limb. The magnetic resonance imaging revealed an increased T2 signal intensity of the entire central gray matter of the cervical cord with involvement of the posterior brainstem. A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) conducted on a nasopharyngeal swab was found positive for EV-D68. The definition of AFM proposed by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is an acute-onset flaccid weakness of one or more limbs in the absence of a clear alternative diagnosis and the radiological evidence of gray matter involvement on an MRI picture, and our case fits these two criteria. A prompt and detailed workup is required to distinguish this emergent disease from other forms of acute flaccid palsy. The functional prognosis of AFM is poor, and there are no evidence-based treatment guidelines so far. Conclusion: AFM is an emerging pathology that requires the attention of pediatricians to quickly rule out differential diagnoses and adequately manage the patient. Further research is needed to optimize treatments, improve outcomes, and provide scientifically based guidelines.

Abstract	We report the case of a 30-year-old female patient with sickle cell disease presenting with an acute chest syndrome and neurological deterioration. Cerebral magnetic resonance imaging revealed a handful of foci of diffusion restriction and numerous microbleeds with marked involvement of corpus callosum and subcortical white matter, with relative sparing of the cortex and deep white matter. Corpus callosum-predominant and juxtacortical microbleeds have been typically documented in cerebral fat embolism syndrome, but also in the so-called "critical-illness-associated cerebral microbleeds", a recently described entity associated with respiratory failure. We discussed whether these 2 entities may coexist.

Abstract	Purpose: Task-based BOLD fMRI and DTI-fiber tracking have become part of the routine presurgical work-up of brain tumor patients in many institutions. However, their potential impact on both surgical treatment and neurologic outcome remains unclear, in despite of the high costs and complex implementation. Methods: We retrospectively investigated whether performing fMRI and DTI-ft preoperatively substantially impacted surgical planning and patient outcome in a series of brain tumor patients. We assessed (i) the quality of fMRI and DTI-ft results, by using a scale of 0-2 (0 = failed mapping; 1 = intermediate confidence; 2 = good confidence), (ii) whether functional planning substantially contributed to defining the surgical strategy to be undertaken (i.e., no surgery, biopsy, or resection, with or without ESM), the surgical entry point and extent of resection, and (iii) the incidence of neurological deficits post-operatively. Results: Twenty-seven patients constituted the study population. The mean confidence rating was 1.9/2 for fMRI localization of the eloquent cortex and lateralization of the language function and 1.7/2 for DTI-ft results. Treatment strategy was altered in 33% (9/27) of cases. Surgical entry point was modified in 8% (2/25) of cases. The extent of resection was modified in 40% (10/25). One patient (1/25, 4%) developed one new functional deficit post-operatively. Conclusion: Functional MR mapping - which must not be considered an alternative to ESM - has a critical role preoperatively, potentially modifying treatment strategy or increasing the neurosurgeons' confidence in the surgical approach hypothesized based on conventional imaging.

Abstract	Acute hyperammonemic encephalopathy is a rare but life-threatening condition that might complicate liver disease as well as non-hepatic conditions. It can lead to coma and death, secondary to brain edema and intracranial hypertension. We present three cases of acute hyperammonemic encephalopathy of different etiologies and the observed brain MRI findings. Symmetrical extensive cortical signal abnormalities, typically involving the insular and cingulate cortices, often showing restricted diffusion, are commonly described. These specific imaging features should be recognized by the radiologist since prompt treatment of the condition is paramount.

Abstract	Post-operative intracranial bleeding at a distance from the surgical site is a rare complication of both cranial and spinal surgeries and is referred to as remote intracranial hemorrhage (RIH). Bleeding typically occurs in the cerebellum. Simultaneous hemorrhages in different cranial compartments have been rarely observed. We herein report two cases of RIH, which showed different imaging patterns and clinical signs and symptoms. RIH are typically self-limiting and do not usually require treatment. Physicians must be aware of this benign entity which needs not be misdiagnosed with other conditions.

Abstract	Brain metastasis (BM) is a frequent complication of systemic cancer usually associated with poor prognosis. Survival depends on numerous factors, which complicates prognosis and treatment. It has been suggested that BM growing from previously dormant disseminated tumour cells (DTCs) may exhibit a milder phenotype than BM derived from continuously progressing metastatic cells; however, to the best of our knowledge, the prognosis of patients presenting with BM from dormant DTCs is unknown. The present study retrospectively compared survival data, collected from a single neurosurgical centre, between patients presenting with BM from previously dormant DTCs and patients with non-dormant BM. A total of 262 medical records were reviewed. In the univariate Cox regression analysis, the median survival of the dormant BM group was statistically longer than that of the non-dormant group (P=0.048); a trend towards a longer survival persisted after correcting for age, presence of breast cancer and treatment options (P=0.057), which are all factors known to influence outcome. The improved outcome of these patients could be considered in models for prognostication. Moreover, the development of therapies able to eradicate dormant DTCs could provide a new promising strategy to prolong the survival of patients with a favourable prognosis.

Abstract	Due to heterogenous seizure semiology and poor contribution of scalp electroencephalography (EEG) signals, insular epilepsy requires use of the appropriate diagnostic tools for its diagnosis and characterization. The deep location of the insula also presents surgical challenges. The aim of this article is to review the current diagnostic and therapeutic tools and their contribution to the management of insular epilepsy. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), isotopic imaging, neurophysiological imaging, and genetic testing should be used and interpretated with caution. Isotopic imaging and scalp EEG have demonstrated a lower value in epilepsy from insular compared to temporal origin, which increases the interest of functional MRI and magnetoencephalography. Intracranial recording with stereo-electroencephalography (SEEG) is often required. The insular cortex, being highly connected and deeply located under highly functional areas, is difficult to reach, and its ablative surgery raises functional issues. Tailored resection based on SEEG or alternative curative treatments, such as radiofrequency thermocoagulation, laser interstitial thermal therapy, or stereotactic radiosurgery, have produced encouraging results. The management of insular epilepsy has benefited from major advances in the last years. Perspectives for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures will contribute to better management of this complex form of epilepsy.

Abstract	Myelopathies have multiple causes and broad differential diagnoses, including demyelinating, metabolic, vascular and neoplastic disorders, often with distinctive imaging manifestations. Compressive myelopathy, especially of degenerative and neoplastic origin, is the most common cause of myelopathy, followed by inflammatory disorders such as multiple sclerosis, acute disseminating encephalomyelitis, neuromyelitis optica, and transverse myelitis of other etiologies. An accurate and early diagnosis will guide the treatment and will provide information about the prognosis of the patient. The aim of this review is to illustrate the magnetic resonance imaging features of different etiologies of myelopathy.

Abstract	Background and purpose: Cerebral vasospasm (CV) following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) may lead to morbidity and mortality. Endovascular mechanical angioplasty may be performed if symptomatic CV is refractory to noninvasive medical management. Off-label compliant remodelling balloons tend to conform to the course of the vessel, contrary to noncompliant or semi-compliant balloons. Our objective is to describe our initial experience with the semi-compliant Neurospeed balloon (approved for intracranial stenosis) in cerebral vasospasm treatment following aSAH. Methods: All patients included in the prospective observational SAVEBRAIN PWI (NCT05276934 on clinicaltrial.gov) study who underwent cerebral angioplasty using the Neurospeed balloon for the treatment of medically refractory and symptomatic CV after aSAH were identified. Patient demographic information, procedural details and outcomes were obtained from electronic medical records. Results: Between February 2022 and June 2023, 8 consecutive patients underwent CV treatment with the Neurospeed balloon. Angioplasty of 48 arterial segments (supraclinoid internal carotid artery, A1 and A2 segments of the anterior cerebral artery, M1 and M2 segments of the middle cerebral artery) was attempted and 44/48 (92%) were performed. The vessel diameter significantly improved following angioplasty (+81%), while brain hypoperfusion decreased (-81% of the mean TMax). There was no long-term clinical complication, 4% periprocedural complications occurred. Conclusion: The semi-compliant Neurospeed balloon is effective in the treatment of cerebral vasospasm following aSAH, bringing a new device into the armamentarium of the neurointerventionalist to perform intracranial angioplasty.

Abstract	We report the case of an 18-year old male with a history of asymmetric weakness and amyotrophy of distal upper extremities, suggestive of Hirayama disease. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the cervical spine was obtained both in flexion and neutral position. Flexion MRI showed forward displacement of the dura and subsequent cord compression, with associated marked enlargement and postcontrast enhancement of posterior epidural plexus. These findings are pathognomonic of the disorder. On neutral MRI abnormalities may be subtle: in our case, they included loss of physiological lordosis, asymmetric atrophy and increased T2 signal intensity of the lower anterior cervical cord. The ability to identify abnormalities on neutral MRI however is even more important in that it allows the radiologist to include a flexion sequence in the MRI examination, if not specifically requested by the referring physician, and in cases in which the suspicion of the disorder has not been raised.
