    Abstract Biallelic pathogenic variants in ZNF335 are one of the genetic causes of microcephaly, reported only in the past decade. It regulates neural progenitor proliferation and neurogenesis by interacting with a H3K4 methyltransferase complex. Biallelic pathogenic ZNF335 variants predispose to neuronal cell death and aberrant differentiation, thus causing secondary microcephaly. These neurodevelopmental anomalies lead to imaging findings in the cortex, posterior fossa, and basal ganglia. We report an individual of Nepalese ancestry with a novel homozygous ZNF335 variant (c.3591 + 2dup) (p.?) (NM_022095.3) which on further RNA analysis confirmed a splice site variant in intron 23. The patient presented with primary microcephaly with atrophic cerebral hemispheres, oversimplification of gyri, basal ganglia, and corpus callosal atrophy. Literature review on the topic revealed a spectrum of brain abnormalities, which can present either with a primary or secondary microcephaly depending upon the underlying genetic variant.

    Abstract Purpose: The study aims to depict the radiological features of Cov-ROCM, depict the common routes of spread to orbits and intracranial compartment and look for an association of the risk factors with radiological severity of the disease.
    Methods: 96 patients who had COVID-19 infection in the past 3 months and were diagnosed with ROCM underwent CECT PNS examinations which were assessed by two experienced radiologists. They were divided into three groups based on the intraorbital and intracranial involvement and were correlated with various risk factors.
    Results: The incidence of bony erosions which was the commonest finding (75%) was double in Cov-ROCM than the ROCM cases of pre COVID era (33-40%). The most common route of spread to orbit was through angioinvasion(52%) with intact orbital walls; and intracranial extension was via erosion of the cribriform plate(52%). Sphenoid sinus involvement is strongly associated with intracranial and intraorbital involvement.(p-value = .0004). History of longer ICU stays and being on mechanical ventilation as a part of COVID management is associated with aggressive disease pattern(p-value = .002). Similarly, poor glycaemic control signified by raised HbA1c levels showed statistically significant correlation with severe Cov-ROCM(intraorbital/intracranial extension) (p-value = .040).
    Conclusion: Amidst the COVID pandemic, it is pertinent to look at bony erosions in case of any sinusitis, especially bony maxillary walls and the turbinates. The intraorbital compartment must be viewed thoroughly even in the absence of bony erosions due to the angioinvasive nature of these fungi. Aggressive follow-up for patients with ICU stays for COVID and for glycaemic control would help reduce the morbidity.

    Abstract Minimally invasive parathyroidectomy (MIP) is the standard of care for primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). Four dimensional computed tomography(4DCT) and F-18 Fluorocholine positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FCH PET/CT) localize adenomas accurately to perform MIP. We aimed to conduct a systematic review and metanalysis to evaluate the diagnostic performance of 4DCT and FCH PET/CT scan for quadrant wise localisation in PHPT patients and to do head-to-head comparison between these two modalities. DESIGN, PATIENTS AND MEASUREMENT : After searching through PubMed and EMBASE databases, 46 studies (using histology as a gold standard) of 4DCT and FCH PET/CT were included. RESULTS: Total number of patients included were 1651 and 952 for 4DCT scan (studies n = 26) and FCH PET/CT scan (studies n = 24) respectively. In per patient analysis, FCH PET/CT and 4DCT had pooled sensitivities of 92% (88-94) and 85% (73-92) respectively and in per lesion analysis, 90% (86-93) and 79% (71-84), respectively. In the subgroup with negative conventional imaging/persistent PHPT, FCH PET/CT had comparable sensitivity to 4DCT (84% [74-90] vs. 72% [46-88]). As per patient wise analysis, FCH PET/CT had better detection rates than 4DCT ([92.4 vs. 76.85], odds ratio -3.89 [1.6-9.36] p = .0024) in the subpopulation where both FCH PET/CT and 4DCT were reported. CONCLUSION: Both 4DCT and FCH PET/CT scan performed well in newly diagnosed patients, patients with persistent disease and in those with inconclusive conventional imaging results. FCH PET/CT scan had a higher pooled sensitivity than 4DCT in detecting patients with PHPT in head to head comparison.
