Article Abstract
Objective: To study changes in the quantitative indicators of intracranial cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) at different stages of the disease using phase contrast magnetic resonance imaging (PC MRI).
Material And Methods: The study included 80 patients diagnosed with MS (40 in the acute stage, 40 in remission) and 10 healthy volunteers. CSF flow parameters were assessed using a phase contrast MRI protocol. Peak velocities, stroke volume, and positive and negative flow volume through the ventricular aqueduct were analyzed.
Results: In the acute stage, a significant decrease in the studied parameters of cerebrospinal fluid circulation was observed in comparison with patients in remission and the control group (peak positive flow rate was 35% lower on average, peak negative flow rate was 36% lower, positive volume was 49% lower, negative volume was 37% lower). During the remission, the indicators partially recovered but remained below the respective values of healthy volunteers.
Conclusions: The results indicate a significant disorder of CSF flow in patients with MS in the acute stage, which may be a potential marker of inflammation activity. Phase contrast MRI can be used to monitor the cerebrospinal fluid circulation in MS patients and assess the effectiveness of the treatment.

Anti-mGluR1 encephalitis is a rare autoimmune disorder manifesting with cerebellar syndrome with varying levels of severity. However, limited data exist regarding the clinical features and treatment strategies for patients suffering from encephalitis associated with anti-mGluR1 antibodies. Herein, we comprehensively review and discuss clinical features of anti-mGluR1 encephalitis to enhance our understanding of this rare disorder.

Introduction: Nipah virus (NiV) is a bat-transmitted paramyxovirus causing recurrent, high-mortality outbreaks in South and South-East Asia. As a WHO priority pathogen, efforts are underway to develop therapies like monoclonal antibodies and small-molecule antivirals, which require evaluation in clinical trials. However, trial design is challenging due to limited understanding of NiV's clinical characteristics.

West Nile fever is a zoonotic arboviral disease caused by the West Nile Virus (WNV), responsible for deaths in humans, mammals, and birds with associated neurological manifestations. All previous investigations of WNV Brazil were based primarily on serological and molecular analyses and in humans, equids, and birds in the northern and southeastern regions of the country. This study describes the pathological and molecular findings observed in a mule, from the state of Paraná, southern Brazil, that died during an outbreak involving equids with clinical manifestations of a neurological disease.

Background And Objectives: The endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) has become a key surgical method for managing midline skull base lesions, offering minimally invasive access with reduced morbidity. One of the most significant complications following EEA is cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage, especially in high-flow cases. Based on over two decades of institutional experience with 6,221 EEA procedures, this study aims to categorize and evaluate standardized reconstruction strategies based on intraoperative CSF flow rates in order to optimize outcomes and reduce postoperative complications.

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) hypovolemia is characterized by symptoms, such as orthostatic headaches, due to a deficit of CSF caused by intermittent CSF leakage. Traditionally, the diagnosis of CSF hypovolemia relied on measuring CSF pressure, magnetic resonance imaging, and computed tomography myelography, though several cases showed no positive findings with these methods. We addressed this diagnostic challenge by developing the CSF refill test and announced its effectiveness in January 2024.
