Stereotactic radiosurgery for intracranial and spinal adenoid cystic carcinoma: systematic review and illustrative case presentation.

Purpose: Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a rare, aggressive malignancy with a predilection for perineural spread and distant metastases. Given the limited but emerging evidence on the role of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) in managing intracranial and spinal ACC, a systematic review was deemed necessary to synthesize relevant parameters related to clinical features and management of ACC patients, SRS treatment characteristics, and clinical outcomes across published studies.

Methods: This systematic review was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.

Clinical Characteristics and Mortality of Intensive Care Patients With Intracerebral Hemorrhage and COVID-19: A Retrospective Cohort Analysis.

Background: Since the COVID-19 pandemic, many studies have reported severe neurologic effects of the infection on the brain. Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a particular pathology that can result in these devastating neurologic effects.

Objectives: The primary aim of our study is to investigate the possible difference in the clinical and laboratory characteristics of ICH between patients with positive COVID-19 tests and those with negative tests.
