Focal myositis secondary to an intramuscular vascular malformation has rarely been reported in the literature. We describe a 21-year-old woman presenting with left thigh pain. Imaging of the thigh muscles showed a vascular malformation and muscle biopsy demonstrated focal changes diagnosed initially as myositis. Ischaemia is thought to be the responsible mechanism.

This image highlights a diagnostic pitfall in a 65-year-old patient with recurrent glioblastoma. 18F-FET-PET revealed 2 hotspots with focally enhanced uptake: local tumor recurrence (TBRmax 2.3) on the left and another lesion in the right anterior cingulate gyrus (TBRmax 1.

Background: Brainstem cavernous malformations (BSCMs) are rare yet high-risk vascular lesions with a complex clinical course due to their eloquent location. Optimal treatment remains a topic of debate. This review aims to evaluate the outcomes of different management strategies for BSCMs, with a focus on rebleeding, functional recovery, and mortality.

Objectives: Unruptured brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) typically do not cause aphasia, even when the traditional language areas are affected by the nidus. We attempted to elucidate its language reorganization mechanism by analyzing the alterations in functional connectivity using functional connectivity (FC) and track-weighted static functional connectivity (TW-sFC) approaches.
Methods: This cross-sectional study prospectively enrolled patients with AVMs involving left-hemisphere language areas and healthy controls.

Background: Intra-atrial cysts are rare and often mistaken for neoplastic lesions. Vascular-origin cysts are even more uncommon. Limited genetic data hamper understanding of their pathogenesis and management.

The treatment of unruptured & ruptured AVMs remains controversial. Microsurgical resection of the AVM offers the higher cure rate, but the associated morbidity and mortality may exceed that of the AVM's natural history. Single center retrospective cohort study of 120 consecutive patients harboring intracranial AVM operated on between January 2010 and June 2023.
