Monogenic cerebral vasculopathy is a rare but progressively recognizable cause of pediatric cerebral vasculopathy manifesting as early as fetal life. These monogenic cerebral vasculopathies can be silent or manifest variably as fetal or neonatal distress, neurologic deficit, developmental delay, cerebral palsy, seizures, or stroke. The radiologic f...

Ewing sarcoma is the second most frequent primary bone tumour of childhood and adolescence. The aim of this report is to describe the imaging, pathology, clinical findings, and treatment of a primary intradural extramedullary Ewing sarcoma with a unique intracranial metastatic component in a pediatric patient.

Purpose Given that syrinx is often considered an indication of surgery in children with Chiari I malformation (CM1), understanding of the natural history of these patients is very challenging. In this study, we investigate the natural history of children with CM1 that have syrinx and/or prominence of the central canal on presentation. Methods All...

Purpose Multiple imaging parameters have been examined to estimate the presence of syrinx and the need for surgery in Chiari I patients (CM1); however, no consistent or definitive criteria have been proposed. The objective of this study was to review existing and identify novel radiological and clinical characteristics of CM1 patients that associat...

Cerebral vasculitis is increasingly recognized as a common cause of pediatric arterial stroke. It can present with focal neurological deficits, psychiatric manifestations, seizures, and encephalopathy. The etiopathogenesis of childhood cerebral vasculitis (CCV) is multifactorial, making an inclusive classification challenging. In this review, we de...

... Our investigation also shows that the obex position is a more important parameter that the syrinx itself, supported by previous authors [10,11]. Previous work at our institution [12] also demonstrated a strong association between the position of the obex, the presence of syrinx and need for surgery. Based on our results and the existing literature, CM1 patients that are asymptomatic with an obex position at or above the foramen magnum are unlikely to need surgery or show progression of their symptomology. ...
