Brain metastasis originating in adenocarcinoma of the prostate is rare and can be expected in cases of disseminated bone and soft-tissue disease. Asymptomatic brain metastasis is rare at any point of the disease stage. Ga-68 PSMA positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) is one of the useful investigations for assessing the disease status in adenocarcinoma of the prostate. We report a case of asymptomatic brain metastases detected in Ga-68 PSMA PET-CT scan.

Objective: We investigated the effects of C9orf72 mutation carriership on peripheral nerve excitability in asymptomatic individuals from families with a history of C9orf72 amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and patients.
Methods: We included 47 asymptomatic individuals from families with a history of C9orf72 ALS, of whom 23 were carriers (C9) and 24 were noncarriers (C9). In addition, 11 C9 and 110 C9 ALS patients and 50 healthy controls participated.

Introduction: Asymptomatic extracranial carotid artery disease (aECAD) is associated with increased Alzheimer's disease (AD) and non-AD dementia risk. aECAD treatment includes carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and carotid artery stenting (CAS) for stroke prevention, but their impact on dementia incidence is poorly studied.
Methods: Propensity score matching was used in a retrospective cohort study of United States-based insurance claims (2010-2022) in 487,676 patients with aECAD to evaluate the effect of CEA and CAS on AD and non-AD dementia incidence.

Background: Meningioma en plaque (MEP) is a rare subtype of meningioma with a carpet-like growth pattern, often causing hyperostosis. Even rarer is the presentation of bilateral MEP posing diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Management of MEP usually entails early complete resection.

Importance: Recent longitudinal studies in patients with unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) suggested that aneurysm wall enhancement (AWE) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) predicts growth and rupture. However, because these studies were limited by small sample size and short follow-up duration, it remains unclear whether this radiological biomarker has predictive value for UIA instability.
Objective: To determine the 4-year risk of instability of UIAs with AWE and investigate whether AWE is an independent predictor of UIA instability.

Introduction: Peri-lead edema (PLE) is a commonly observed but often asymptomatic complication of deep brain stimulation (DBS). While usually transient and benign, severe cases of PLE can result in neurological symptoms, impacting patient outcomes. This case series explores the clinical course, management, and outcomes of symptomatic PLE in a series of five patients undergoing DBS.
