We investigated the overlap shared between the immunoglobulin (Ig) proteome of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and the B cell Ig-transcriptome of CSF and the central nervous system (CNS) tissue of three patients with multiple sclerosis. We determined the IgG-proteomes of CSF by mass spectrometry, and compared them to the IgG-transcriptomes from CSF and brain lesions, which were analyzed by cDNA cloning. Characteristic peptides that were identified in the CSF-proteome could also be detected in the transcriptomes of both, brain lesions and CSF, providing evidence for a strong overlap of the IgG repertoires in brain lesions and in the CSF.

Background And Objectives: While reductions in optical coherence tomography (OCT) pRNFL and ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer thicknesses have been shown to be associated with brain atrophy in adult-onset MS (AOMS) cohorts, the relationship between OCT and brain MRI measures is less established in pediatric-onset MS (POMS). Our aim was to examine the associations of OCT measures with volumetric MRI in a cohort of patients with POMS to determine whether OCT measures reflect CNS neurodegeneration in this patient population, as is seen in AOMS cohorts.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study with retrospective ascertainment of patients with POMS evaluated at a single center with expertise in POMS and neuro-ophthalmology.

Awake craniotomy is the gold standard to achieve maximal safe resection of brain lesions located within eloquent areas. There are no established guidelines to assess patient's eligibility for awake craniotomy by weight class. This study assesses feasibility, safety, and efficacy of awake surgery by weight classes through an observational, retrospective, single-institution cohort analysis (2010-2024) of 526 awake craniotomies.

Background: Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by abnormal vascular formations across multiple organ systems, including the brain. While arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are well recognized in HHT, non-AVM cerebrovascular malformations remain underreported and poorly understood manifestations of the disease.
Methods: A systematic review was conducted using multiple databases, applying a two-step screening process to exclude studies with insufficient, irrelevant, or incomplete data.

Introduction: Brain metastasis from gastric cancer is rare (0.5%) and often occurs with metastasis to other organs. We herein describe a very rare patient with a solitary brain metastasis from residual gastric cancer with no metastasis to other organs.

Cerebral infarction is a rare but serious complication after pulmonary resection for lung cancer. A 78-year-old man with hypertension and diabetes underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic right middle lobectomy for stage IA2 adenocarcinoma. On postoperative day 1, he developed acute right hemiparesis and motor aphasia.
