Article Abstract

A 63-year-old Caucasian man with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, adrenal insufficiency, and history of metastatic spindle cell melanoma previously treated with ipilimumab, presented with unilateral papillitis in the left eye. The disc edema evolved to neuroretinitis with additional MRI findings of perineuritis. Broad laboratory evaluation confirmed active B. henselae infection, and he confirmed exposure to a newly adopted kitten. His vision improved following a course of antibiotics and oral steroids with resolution of clinical findings. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of cat-scratch neuroretinitis with MRI findings of optic nerve and optic nerve sheath enhancement.

Major ABO-Incompatible Platelet Transfusions Are Associated With Brain Ischemia After Intracerebral Hemorrhage.

Stroke

September 2025

Department of Neurology, Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University, New York. (F.C.P., M.R., M.S., A.K., S.G., S.A., S.P., J.C., D.J.R.).

Background: Major ABO-incompatible platelet transfusions are associated with poor intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) outcomes, yet drivers for this relationship remain unclear. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) ischemic lesions after ICH are neuroimaging biomarkers of secondary brain injury and are associated with poor outcomes. Given that ABO-incompatible platelet transfusions can induce immune complex formation, thrombo-inflammation, and endothelial barrier disruption, factors that could exacerbate cerebral ischemia, we explored whether major ABO-incompatible platelet transfusions are risk factors for ischemic lesions on brain MRI after ICH.

Postoperative aphasia (POA) is a common complication in patients undergoing surgery for language-eloquent lesions. This study aimed to enhance the prediction of POA by leveraging preoperative navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS) language mapping and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI)-based tractography, incorporating deep learning (DL) algorithms. One hundred patients with left-hemispheric lesions were retrospectively enrolled (43 developed postoperative aphasia, as the POA group; 57 did not, as the non-aphasia (NA) group).

Background And Purpose: White matter hyperintensity (WMH) impairs cognitive function but is not evident in the early stage, raising the need to explore the underlying mechanism. We aimed to investigate the potential role of network structure-function coupling (SC-FC coupling) in cognitive performance of WMH patients.

Methods: A total of 617 participants with WMH (mean age = 61 [SD = 8]; 287 females [46.

Purpose: Postoperative delirium (POD) remains poorly understood in terms of predictors and underlying mechanisms. This review summarized emerging evidence on the association between brain microstructural alterations and POD.

Method: This is a narrative review, describing the microstructural changes in aging brain, microstructural MRI findings, relationship among microstructural alterations, cognitive reserve and POD, and potential interventions targeting microstructure.

Multiple Demographic, Lifestyle, and Biological Factors Associated With Brain Iron Deposition in the Basal Ganglia: A Comprehensive Analysis of 25,980 UK Biobank Participants.

Brain Behav

September 2025

Key Laboratory of Endocrine Glucose & Lipids Metabolism and Brain Aging, Ministry of Education; Department of Radiology, Shandong Provincial Hospital, Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University, Jinan, Shandong Province, China.

Background: The susceptibility values of the basal ganglia reflect the health status of these nuclei. We aimed to explore the associations between various demographic characteristics, lifestyle factors, and biological factors that have the potential to contribute to magnetic susceptibility and investigate the comprehensive impact of these multiple factors on basal ganglia susceptibility values.

Methods: We included 25,980 participants from the UK Biobank.
