Imaging Changes and Clinical Outcome after MR-Guided Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy Open
Introduction: MR-guided laser interstitial thermal therapy (MRgLITT) is a minimally invasive technique for treating deep-seated brain lesions. However, the dynamics of imaging changes that occur after the ablation are not well characterize…

Epidemiology of autoimmune encephalitis and comparison to infectious causes—Experience from a tertiary center Open
Objectives The incidence of autoimmune encephalitis (AIE) has risen in the last decade, yet recent studies are lacking. We compared the epidemiology of autoimmune and infectious encephalitis cases in Tel‐Aviv Sourasky Medical Center (TASMC…

The natural history study of preclinical genetic Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD): a prospective longitudinal study protocol Open
Background Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) is the most common prion disease in humans causing a rapidly progressive neurological decline and dementia and is invariably fatal. The familial forms (genetic CJD, gCJD) are caused by mutations i…

Permanent Chorea In A 76-Year-Old Female With Poorly Controlled Diabetes Mellitus Open
Background: Chorea hyperglycemia basal ganglia syndrome (CHBS) is a rare disorder accounting for only 1% of the total chorea-ballism cases.It is characterized by an acute or subacute, most often unilateral evolvement of chorea/ballism afte…

BV-GAN: 3D time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiography cerebrovascular vessel segmentation using adversarial CNNs Open
Purpose: Cerebrovascular vessel segmentation is a key step in the detection of vessel pathology. Brain time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiography (TOF-MRA) is a main method used clinically for imaging of blood vessels using magne…

NIMG-05. DIFFERENCES IN VASCULARITY BETWEEN RECURRENT GLIOBLASTOMA AND BRAIN METASTASIS USING DYNAMIC CONTRAST ENHANCED MRI Open
In recent years, several automatic methods have been proposed to differentiate between brain tumor recurrence and treatment-related changes following radiotherapy, based on conventional and advanced MRI methods. Vascular parameters extract…

Interictal Epileptiform Discharge Dynamics in Peri-sylvian Polymicrogyria Using EEG-fMRI Open
Polymicrogyria (PMG) is a common malformation of cortical development associated with a higher susceptibility to epileptic seizures. Seizures secondary to PMG are characterized by difficult-to-localize cerebral sources due to the complex a…

Cervical Cordotomy for Intractable Pain: Do Postoperative Imaging Features Correlate with Pain Outcomes and Mirror Pain? Open
Although a minimal ablation size is required during cordotomy, larger lesions do not indicate better outcomes. DWI metrics changes represent tissue damage after ablation and may correlate with pain outcomes.

Neurosyphilis presenting as cranial nerve palsy, an entity which is easy to miss Open
Neurosyphilis is a rare disease that until the 2000s was almost eradicated due to population awareness of HIV and efficient treatment. Since then, the prevalence of the entity is rising due to risk-associated behaviour such as unprotected …

NIMG-36. THE SIGNIFICANCE OF PUNCTATE CONTRAST-ENHANCING LESIONS IN TREATED HIGH GRADE GLIOMA Open
We report on a series of nine patients with high grade glioma (HGG) who developed punctate contrast-enhancing foci on MRI, several years after tumor treatment. The lesions were considered suspicious for tumor progression at their onset, bu…
