Article Abstract
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is an essential component of the central nervous system, and disruption of normal CSF flow from the lateral ventricles to the subarachnoid spaces around the brain and spinal canal can have serious consequences. Nuclear imaging may be useful to help diagnose abnormalities in CSF flow; cisternograms can be used to assess for CSF leaks or normal-pressure hydrocephalus, and shuntograms can be used to evaluate for CSF shunt malfunction. The authors review normal and pathologic findings and pitfalls of cisternography and shuntogram examinations. RSNA, 2025.

BackgroundAlzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disorder. While AD diagnosis traditionally relies on clinical criteria, recent trends favor a precise biological definition. Existing biomarkers efficiently detect AD pathology but inadequately reflect the extent of cognitive impairment or disease heterogeneity.

BackgroundTherapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) with albumin replacement has emerged as a potential treatment for Alzheimer's disease (AD). The AMBAR trial showed that TPE could slow cognitive and functional decline, along with changes in core and inflammatory biomarkers in cerebrospinal fluid.ObjectiveTo evaluate the safety and effectiveness of TPE in a real-world setting in Argentina.

Importance: Behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD), the most common subtype of FTD, is a leading form of early-onset dementia worldwide. Accurate and timely diagnosis of bvFTD is frequently delayed due to symptoms overlapping with common psychiatric disorders, and interest has increased in identifying biomarkers that may aid in differentiating bvFTD from psychiatric disorders.
Objective: To summarize and critically review studies examining whether neurofilament light chain (NfL) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) or blood is a viable aid in the differential diagnosis of bvFTD vs psychiatric disorders.

Background And Objective: Differentiating central nervous system infections (CNSIs) from brain tumors (BTs) is difficult due to overlapping features and the limited individual indicators, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cytology remains underutilized. To improve differential diagnosis, we developed a model based on 9 early, cost-effective cerebrospinal fluid parameters, including CSF cytology.
Methods: Patients diagnosed with CNSIs or BTs at Xiangya Hospital of Central South University between October 1st, 2017 and March 31st, 2024 were enrolled and divided into the training set and the test set.

Skull base reconstruction is a critical component of endoscopic endonasal skull base surgery (EESBS). Bed rest remains an indispensable element of post-operative care, which should be carefully considered for reducing the risk of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks and enhancing surgical outcomes (1, 2). However, the necessity of bed rest continues to be controversial as indicated by the expert consensus on perioperative management of skull base reconstruction, due to a lack of high-quality evidence to support its effectiveness (1-4).
